J.Crew of Seasons Past: {a look in the closet}

It's that time again, to take a look at an image of J.Crew pieces from seasons past! As caribbelle (in this post) so beautifully termed, "ye olde j crew of yore".

This post features the Cashmere Lion Critter Tee (item 85997; $160.00) with a a regal lion crest across the chest. This long sleeve sweater is gorgeous in its eye catching bright shade. Move over Hen Sweater, this tee is purrrfect!

What are your thoughts on the look(s)/item(s) from the past? Do you find the look(s)/item(s) classic or do you think they are dated?

    Right, the hens go back. They need to reissue this one. In real cashmere.

      WFF, sadly when I saw the hen sweater, I immediately thought of all the gorgeous intarsia sweaters from 2007, all in cashmere. I have one, it is striped with a horseshoe, and I adore it. I really wish they would reissue all of those sweaters! The hen sweater is a cheap imitation.

      The badger of Hufflepuff always gets overlooked for those pesky Gryffindors.. Maybe after the French hen, J Crew will release a Honey Badger.

    This is one old school J.Crew item I'm not loving. Maybe if it were a chunkier cable knit and weren't so slim fitting. And maybe if it were in a burgundy or navy instead of red!

    I love the green background (and also the barnboard background from '06 or so). Looks better than the stark white they've got going on now.

    I'm not feeling this sweater and wouldn't have bought it then or now, I love sweaters with graphics, hence why I love the hen sweater, but something about wearing regal looking crest just doesn't do it for me.

    The first thing that popped into my head was "A Lannister always pays his debts". I actually kind of like this.

      Hahaha! Even better than Hogwarts--I mean, everyone wants to be Griffyndor, but not very many will claim Team Lannister!

      +1. Any day with a GOT reference is a good day.

    I agree with SilverLining, bring back the green backgrounds J Crew!

    Alexis I have to say I still like this sweater. It looks Classic Crew to me, a look I guess I will always find appealing.

    I remember this sweater and I wanted to buy it or one like it but the color choices weren't for me. I have a similar one from 2005 featured in today's blog post, you can see it HERE.

    Thanks for sharing this Alexis, I wish J.Crew would do this one again, in purple and light pink or something. I'd buy it.
