JCrew IRL reviews - store-only tees




Here are a couple new arrival tees I've only seen in retail stores/ not online yet at least. Both are comfy, soft, and overpriced. The Harvey Calfield Boating Club Lake Erie, PA henley is cute (I'm wearing a XS, it comes in XXS), but just printed on as I recall and reminiscent of something you could get at American Eagle or Aeropostale.

The Pink Bleecker St Furies is cute as well, but I'm showing a XS and couldn't find a XXS. It was huge and at best maybe a slumber party top (if you feel like spending $36 on a slumber party top). <-- don't quote me on that, but I think it was $36ish. It was pinned to pieces on the mannequin (I really wanted to take a pic but it was right next to the cash registers). Shouldn't that be a sign - if you have to scrunch up half the fabric onto your manni, you should make the garment a little more fitted?!

Overall, I like the preppy / nautical theme to these, just was not loving the execution. Yes, we're tiring of sequins and ruffles and (gasp) sometimes stripes. where are those great language tees?

What do you think of the latest crew tees?

I saw the 2nd one the other day. Very thin. I wasn't impressed. I can see how others will like it, though. The 1st one is cute. I agree w/the AE, Aeropostale correlation.
