A coworker recently showed me one of their catalogs and a few items caught my eye. The sweaters looked really warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800912 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:41:28 +0000 tarzy 800912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've ordered a few things over the years and the quality has always been top notch.<br /> A slight caveat - the items don't always look the same in real life as they do in the illustrations. They're usually very nice, but may hang a little differently than you expect, and sometimes the colors can be slightly different IRL. Also, the sizing can be a little hard to judge since they're not the usual brands many of us know. I would suggest calling and asking for measurements. They have pretty good customer service. The other thing is, it can be a little difficult to return things. They sort of disappear into a black hole for a while (they don't seem to be as automated as the larger companies.) However, I've never had a problem - eventually the return gets credited, but it does take a while.<br /> Given all of that, the items themselves are usually very good quality. I bought my husband a few shirts two years ago, and they're great. And I still have a classic "riding" blazer I bought over 20 years ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800747 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:15:16 +0000 TraceyLiz65 800747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so, thought of Seinfeld when i saw the title for your post. I don't know anything about them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800717 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:23:10 +0000 Anonymous 800717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did order. Years ago. I LOVED those pieces. I wore them to death. They were well made and quite stylish. I remember blue silk pants in particular as being fabulous. I bought them in black silk as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800668 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:27:27 +0000 Jjsloane 800668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know they were still around. I used to love reading them, but admit I never ordered anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800611 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:22:56 +0000 Janet 800611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't even seen one in years! I've been curious though. I thought that illustrations rather than photographs are a risky way to represent garments, so I always wondered if that affected customers' likelihood of ordering. </p> <p>I can't even see the name without thinking of Seinfeld. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-experience-with-items-from-j-peterman-catalog#post-800581 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:45:57 +0000 unfrumped 800581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course, it contains a lot of hype with its chatty descriptions of items; and illustrations instead of photos.</p> <p>I have been interested in several items that seem to be made of nicer fabrics--like silk twill or velvet or wool tweeds or other, and what could possibly be "elegant" fit (or more hype). But I have not pulled the trigger to order anything. </p>
