BPeople love to say that the quality of $popular_brand dipped at one point or another but can never back it up with anything. J crew was fine then and it’s fine now.
CWell let see if i can chimp in since i started with jcrew in 2016
CThey had cool collab with newbalance, selling interesting third party brands
CWallaces and barnes line was phenomenal in quality
CTheir knits goods pieces for basic was superb
CAround 2020 or so they watered down their brands quality and less collab stuff being sold
CAnd the random mid day sale have alden on 40% off for a few hours
CAnd kill shot fly off the shelf
CJcrew was at its peak then
BI dig their basics, but man I wish the average bottoms didn't stop right at 38.
EI'm still feeling relatively good about Wallace & Barnes. Got a nice ramie camp collar shirt for 80% off a few weeks back
Emy first impression of jcrew so far is that its good - not exciting - but good. i guess its kind of your preppy entry-mid ish normal male fashion.
Ei cant comment if it got better or worse, but there is definitely more competition in that space jcrew is trying to be in now
JThis hits close to home. 
I'm trying to elevate my look, but J Crew is safe and tempting for that reason.

and if youre not going to put out anything innovative, people are just going to go for the best balance of price/durability/comfort.

Ethis means it becomes of those brands that people just buy if its on sale i guess
JYeah. I'm still learning how to balance safe basics with more adventurous stuff.
CJust tried on this sweater at the mall, very surprised by J crew’s appeal now and i totally get it. You won’t catch me dead paying full price though
LGotta love plundering the j crew clearance rack and having your saved be more then your total spent got these shoes and outrageously green pants
AI thought they had some really nice items in their fall line last year, I picked up several and have been happy with them. But their spring/summer stuff is just a huge miss for me, I think that most of it is really boring and/or ugly. Only exception is a seersucker camp collar short sleeve which I got on a deep sale and was pleasantly surprised by.
TJ Crew has done well by leaning more into its roots than trying to be a “more premium basics” store. That being said, it’s still a “mall brand” in a lot of regards (e.g. QC, fabric content, OTR fits), and I look to it more for certain pieces that, oddly enough, usually fall into the “basics” category.
Pretension aside, I’m really liking the 7” inseam shorts (I have 3 pair) and the garment-dyed polos (like wearing a t-shirt, amazing, I also have 3 of these lol)

Mlooks like their fall stuff is out now? or at least they are emailing me about it now
Cthey just released "Giant" fit oxford shirts, but really they just re-named the "relaxed" fit bummer was hoping for an extra wide everything Fall
Bthoughts on the new chore jacket?

BInteresting, I guess you could size up for a further baggy fit? I really like their organic broken in oxfords for everyday shirts, picked up 5 or 6 of them half off last month. I go up one size in their slim untucked fit for a nicely relaxed look, two sizes up looks good too in the right context
IWas looking at this earlier, really like both the red and green colors. Not sure if I’m personally in at that price but it’s a cool jacket
B@identity_kit yah same, I remember their previous chore coat went on sale
Pi dig it (esp the red one), and I may just get it once it goes on sale if I don't somehow manage to find an old vintage ll bean one by then
MYeah vintage is a good idea there. I was looking around sites trying to find a green that matches j crews green and coming up empty
Mlol I'm pretty colorblind but this seems pretty close to j crew's blue one https://www.ebay.com/itm/166235239694?hash=item26b464750e:g:8jUAAOSwTgRktzRQ&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwAtIQNChqnysF2FPIIhdHnQag7p1G4JI3%2F7JZLYJuAbGfaEQ5dr5liZtxJWULp9QBmVI4jlMkmNa9B6emxQj%2BmwLv5WUfWTc%2BHdWG3MuvfNn2b6UhZh2cTnPYfcpTnXfsCMniLVGBNRwPNRdwhqdAzgF2Py3CN8Osv7lJ4%2Fh4PDQw4tuTuorL0hSTgiVsw1cylMhPIme6MKGoQ6Mp384ocdsMAqeWIjJFeuQFjy0dph%2B%2FNnFhgomlCIxdleAEY4OIw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_CAlv2_Yg

Bthese vintage barn jackets j crew were selling are nice but I don't know if they are too preppy haha
Pthats a damn fine coat you got there mike
MLol it’s not gonna fit me I was just posting it because I thought it was funny how close the colors matched
Pik i just saw an opportunity to make a twin peaks reference (sort of) hehe
MOh hahahaha
MIf I had had more sleep last night I probably would have caught that 
VNo, it’s nothing too special. Most of their stuff is pretty basic with a couple interesting things here and there.
Li think they really are good for basics as well but i think their collabs are when they standout depends on the collab tho
BThoughts on Madewell? JCrew's sister company? Eyeing this waxed jacket but curious how it'd fare https://www.madewell.com/waxed-quilted-barn-jacket-99106794879.html
Madewell
HThe few items I have from Madewell are decent quality, and my wife has some good stuff from there as well
BSo I've heard. Thanks for your opinion
YI thought madewell put 0 effort into their men’s department until recently because I was checking it in a physical store. Online it’s clearly a pretty big part of their business.
Bsnagged the quilted barn jacket, will report back
