Thanks for all the input!

And another question:

Can anyone comment on the fit of Lands' End lighthouse chino shorts? I wear a 36 waist at J.Crew, should I be safe ordering the same from Lands' End? Thanks!

I'm looking at this sport coat from J Crew Factory and was curious if anyone has experience with the sizing of JCF sport coats? Any input would be appreciated! https://factory.jcrew.com/browse/sin...&bmUID=kWpUn.W

I am curious how this one compares to the all linen number just reviewed a couple days ago. Size wise

In my experience, a Medium is an almost dead-on 40R. Maybe slightly shorter in the tail/arms.

@PREID Thanks! Ordered the large, as the medium was out, but that sounds perfect. I'm probably a 42 ish.

Anyone with experience regarding J Crew Factory Thompson, Oxford cloth suiting? I'm looking at the Melange Gray that's currently on clearance + 50%.

Went ahead and ordered, but no real idea what to expect on sizing and quality of fabric, and whether the gray is truly as light as the photos suggest. There's only two reviews, both positive, and only one mentions sizing. It's not final sale, so I'm not risking much, but I'd like some input on what to expect. All of my previous suits (3) have been all wool, and I'm looking for something a bit cooler for the summer months going forward.

@ronrob Just had it delivered late last week, and I'm a big fan. JCF stuff is hit and miss with me--more often than not, I prefer J.Crew proper. I really like Sutton chinos, but really dislike their shorts and shirts, and the wool Thompson did not work for me at all.

I took a shot based on this thread since it wasn't final sale: http://threads.dappered.com/showthre...-vs-Chino-Suit

Very, pleasantly surprised. Fabric was much nicer than I was expecting, and it is slightly darker than pictured. Fit was much better than the wool Thompson. I'm a solid BB OTR 40R, and this will need the sleeves shortened and waist taken it. However, for the price I paid, it'll be worth it. Shoulders fit nicely and no weird button height issues.

Okay, that bodes well for me, thank you. I was hoping for true to color or a bit darker (just not lighter), and I'm a fan of the Sutton summerweight chinos (other than having to take the waist in...stupid butt).

The large should be spot on. I wish I wasn't so tall-I can never wear those S/M/L-sized jackets

Does anyone know of any trunk shows in Washington D.C.?
