They have such frequent sales and free shipping offers to Canada that I don't find their clothes much pricier than most of the B&amp;M stores in my area. Returns are easy, although I do have to pay a few dollars for the return shipping. In addition, J Crew now pays any duties that might be assessed if something is shipped across the border. Sign up for their e-mails and you'll be flooded with offers and discount codes.</p> <p>Personally, I love the fluid, thin knit on their Tippi merino sweaters because I wear them next to my skin, often layered under jackets. I can wash them on delicate machine cycle/flat dry and have found they stand up to this treatment beautifully. Just goes to show that different things work for different people, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1071006 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:45:54 +0000 Scarlet 1071006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this changes every couple of years for sure, but I always feel a little funny wearing only one brand. Like I took on another identity that's not quite mine, even when I LOVE the whole look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1070985 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:29:22 +0000 Golden 1070985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree with missvee, I have a lot of jcrew and the quality is not always there. One designer for the rest of my life.....hmmm. Don't think I could do it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1070979 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:18:37 +0000 missvee 1070979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole I wouldn't worry about ordering from Jcrew. Their flat rate shipping is 9.95 but they often have a free shipping day for Canada, and there's no additional duty or tax. Having said that I recently ordered the Tippi merino sweater and while the fit is fine, the fabric is very, very thin. I'm not sure the quality justifies the price. But I agree with you about the look book - lots of inspiration there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1070966 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:57:48 +0000 gryffin 1070966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Nicole, awesome question!!&nbsp; If I had to pick just one it would probably be Theory (assuming now all pieces fit me perfectly or could be altered to do that, of course).&nbsp; But like Ingunn - could I have a side of Helmut Lang, All Saints, and Eileen Fisher? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1070961 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:49:44 +0000 Ingunn 1070961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL - I think I get what you mean! For me, J Crew would probably be more than enough for a long time, provided I could have a small affair with a nice consignment/thrift store, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-island-question-j-crew-or-who#post-1070935 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:12:56 +0000 Nicole D 1070935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I look at the latest J Crew lookbook, I just want to gut my closet and buy and wear nothing but J Crew for the rest of my life! &nbsp;Not that I have a ton of it to begin with, I don't have a B&amp;M J Crew near me and I find them a bit pricey for the trouble of ordering cross border, but I just love the look.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you could wear only one brand/designer for the rest o your life - which one&nbsp;would it be? </p>
