It’s a new addition to their webstore. Not bad for under $200 – I might give it a go with a gift card I have at home.
Update: Review of the bag.
Tag: J.Crew (page 6 of 6)
J.Crew just put up quite a bit of new goods for fall on their site today. Read on to see some of the highlights that are particularly good, and also check out their August catalog for men.
More images of some newer Superior Labor bags from Utility COOP. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for the fisherman bag and tote.
Btw, I noticed that J.Crew has dropped the price on the Superior Labor tote they’re selling by $125 today which makes it cheaper than what they’re now going for in Japan. No idea on the reason for the price drop, but I ordered one anyways. (Use the code JULY4 to get free shipping)
Update: Disregard the price drop part – J.Crew increased the price on their 2way Engineer Tote to $350 again.
Superior Labor Fisherman Bag
A short review – they’re average.
A slightly longer review – The J.Crew MacAlister boots fit and look great. The crepe soles have so far been holding up well after lots of wear, and I haven’t had any production issues that I’ve heard about from others (yet). My only problem with these is that they’re not comfortable to walk in if you have to go further than a city block. If I had to choose again, I’d just stick with Clark’s desert boots or instead go with a more expensive pair from Grenson or Alfred Sargent.
Fun related fact (or myth) – Soldiers returning from North Africa in WW2 that frequented the shadier parts of town were referred to as “brothel creepers” because of the desert boots they were still wearing. Teddy Boy and Rockabilly kids would later take these and make them parts of their regular uniforms.

J.Crew recently lowered the price on their Rivington sunglasses and it was enough to get me to finally order a pair. The glasses, which are made in France by Selima Optique, have so far performed fairly well for my needs and I’ve been generally happy with them. If you have problems with heavier glasses, these might be a good choice as they’re fairly light (a bit like Wayfarers).
J.Crew has been pushing them harder lately by featuring them in more pictures so you might not want to wait long to order a pair – I’m even considering getting extra pairs to turn into eyeglasses as well. Read on for more pictures. Available at jcrew.com, $250: Link
