So I received my order for the JCf 50% off sale and as I expected lots to return. The Navy tweed (sold out? Can't find it on the site to link! But it's the one at the top of this page:
navy tweed) looks and fits nice but the material is really cheap. It's thin, already showing signs of shedding and pilling, and feels horrible. I'd pay maybe $40 for this jacket. Maybe. So it's going back, and I wouldn't recommend it.
Also the Fair Isle shawl cardigan is enormous! At least one size larger than marked! I was tempted to post the measurements but can't be bothered. It has at least 4 extra inches of material in the arms near biceps, and probably 8 inches or more extra material around the waist. It's just huge overall. On the plus side, the material is nice enough. Oh yeah, those leather-looking buttons are hard plastic. Disappointed.
I have been close to swearing off JCF for good, as I've been very disappointed with the quality of their fabrics and construction for some time, but the JCF Slim Fit Merino is spot on...
