Nice looking jacket, I'm curious to know what the fit is like and how warm it would be. The green chambray looks to be a winner as well.
If you see the jacket up close and personal please give a review on it.
JCG: The jacket is really superb. The shade of green is perfect. The inside quilting makes it a perfect fall, into late fall, jacket for my neck of the woods. It's heavier than I thought it would be.
Being that you're in Canada (TO?), you may get a little less wear out of this into late Fall, but its still a key piece for the season, IMO. The oilcloth makes it seem like a Barbour.
The fit is what you'd expect from J Crew jackets these days. Not a tent, but not super slim either. A bit on the slim side, just like I like it.
Hope you get the chance to check this out.
Heya JB, thanks for the review. My PS called last week to offer me 20% off and free shipping. So I jumped off my wallet and ordered the coat. I wanted something new and different to wear. Sounds like this jacket will fit the bill nicely.
For the really cold days I have a down puffer jacket. I also have a suede car coat in camel and a smooth one in black leather so this should rotate in nicely.
Good to know it's like a Barbour. I had one in the 90s and wore it for years till I finally grew tired of the black watch plaid.
Once again thanks for the review and your blog.
