Downtown Field Jacket question. Anyone here that purchased the recent field jacket in the Mossy Brown?I had an older one from 2014 in a pretty olive waxy fabric which I can’t find or gave away. I don’t want the quilted style. What’s your color preference please. I’m wondering if the company will release a green similar to my old one as green is such a predominant color this year and next. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat mossy Brown is very similar to the color I think you’re referring to. I had it and sold it when I got the black one, which I didn’t like as much and sold. However, if it’s the one with the corduroy/liberty collar I didn’t find the fit the same. The shoulders were not great on me and the fit was a bit boxier. I tried both the red and mossy brown in the spring and really wanted to love them but ultimately I returned them.
DeleteI just checked the website and see they have it without the Liberty collar and I’d say it’s very similar to what I had and sold. I think even the style number is the same. Mine was olive inside and it doesn’t seem the new one is but the color looks very similar. As a matter of fact when I sold it I referred the the mossy brown color that was offered.
DeleteHi Lynn. Just purchased the field jacket in moss brown. I would describe the color as a greenish brown. It has lovely gold hardware. I sized up one and it’s still a bit tight in the shoulders and arms but doable. 2 sizes up would be way too big in the body. I’ve been wearing it daily and can’t believe I’m just now owning it as a jca for the last 10 years!
Delete@Liz, Thank you so much for the info. Think I will order this thanks to your feedback. Still miss my original green and will look around for one on EBay or elsewhere. Have a great day and stay safe!!
Delete@Suz, I’m sorry I forgot to thank you very much on my last post. I’m wondering if mine was older than 2014 what I mentioned. Looked like the one on the website but it was a green and not the Tuscan Olive which it was as called. Thanks again and stay safe.
DeleteAnyone else receiving their big sale orders in piecemeal fashion? I only placed one order of 8 items, and so far it's coming in 4 packages... 3 items still haven't shipping yet.
ReplyDeleteNo everything arriving in record time.
DeleteI’m sort of in between. A few things piecemeal, a few items canceled. But several of my orders shipped together and what I ordered FRIDAY all shipped by Monday except for my last order.
DeleteI think that's items shipping from stores vs warehouse. Sometimes the stores ship later, but they do UPS not UPS/USPS so the delivery comes sooner anyway.
DeleteEverything has shipped in a single package and pretty quickly. I did notice that sale stuff I ordered has doubled in price, so pricing games continue.
DeleteSnagged the cashmere crewneck sweater with bow. Super cute, preppy style. Wish it came in more colors. I sized up to a medium.

I received my 9" demi-boot crop jean in Dark Worn wash item #AB376 and could not be more happy. I have and love the original charcoal they were offered in two seasons ago, but tried another wash and did not care for them. These are exactly like the charcoal. Before trying them on I held them up to each other and they are an exact match. The buttons are well done and do not look cheap. They don't usually go on sale in the dark worn wash but were included in the jean promo last week. At first I bought them for $61.44 and was thrilled with that, but then I snagged them online the next day for $41.xx which I think is a fantastic price. I had *just* returned jeans from Madewell, All Saints, and Netaporter so to have these work and be significantly less, I'm just amazed. J. Crew for the win.
ReplyDeleteThat’s awesome! I hate jeans shopping especially when I can’t try them on in person. A great score to find a pair that you love and on sale! I’ve been having a hard time this year in finding jeans.
DeleteHas anyone tried the Lady jacket in Italian tweed Item AQ280? I’m drawn toward the fuchsia berry but black gold lured is pretty too. It was on super sale with extra 60% off and I didn’t order. Any sizing info would be helpful!
ReplyDelete@Shopping Celle, I ordered the pink. It’s been shipped from a store in NY and arriving Thursday. I went up a size as I assumed it might be too fitted in the bust but I would leave this open anyways. Will post on fit once received.
DeleteLooking forward to a review on this jacket. Have had my eye on it.
Delete@Lynn I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Delete@liztriden It looks really nice! I knew I wouldn’t be the only one eyeing it!
I tried ordering the black version on sale and it wouldn’t go through, it was only giving me the 20 off, not 60. 😔
Delete@ShoppingCelle, Here are the details about the Autumn Tweed Jacket AR428 in the pink multi. It’s a very pretty bold colored jacket which is far prettier than depicted online. There are shades of a very pretty yellow, aqua, and white and soft metallic threading which doesn’t overpower the jacket. The exterior piping trim on the exterior is more of a slightly deeper Neon Orchid from years past. I like it. The interior lining is is more of a bold raspberry pink with a cerulean blue piping along the border. The Jcrew label is different. It is a navy blue with silver glitter trim along the navy border. The exterior trim around the entire label is black. Below the label states in Italian that its manufactured by ...... sr.l. which is the name of the textile company and below this is written, Fabric Made in Italy. There is a chain link to hang the jacket brassy color and an extra button. Now for the fit . I’m glad I sized up one simply for the bust. Everywhere else it’s fine. If you look at model she’s got her hands as if she’s pulling to bring the jacket it closer in. This should also give you an indication how fitted the top is. My neighbor tried mine on for me as we are 5’71/2 tall and 34D long armed and thin. Of course this is meant to wear open but I will wear a thin featherweight cashmere tee under it. The sleeves are bracelet length and looks nice on her. Buttons are as depicted. Not bad but not great, very simply but they can be easily changed. I hope this helps. In a hurry at the moment so sorry for the typos. Any questions please ask later. I will keep this and last of all I do like the placement of the pockets.
DeleteThanks @Lynn for your always thorough review! The tweed sounds so pretty & old school Jcrew! Very tempting......
Delete@Suz, I ordered this and it’s arriving Thursday. Noticed it’s shipping from a store in NY. I will post here as to its fit.
ReplyDeleteItem 19034 Downtown Field Jacket, was just told they’re bringing back Navy and Red again. No original green.
ReplyDelete@Lynn, that’s too bad about the green, I’m sure it would’ve been a good seller. I do love my older black one. I ordered the fitted tweed jacket AR428 which I think you had previously mentioned. Mine will take a while, if you receive it I’d love to hear your thoughts! Canada finally has a 30% off promo, not great but it’s something.
Delete@jan, Hi Jan the fitted tweed jacket will be arriving on Thursday. I will let you know as to the fit and color. I’m happy to hear you’re at least receiving some discounts. By the way I ordered the garment dyed utility jacket AQ294. Very nice and fit is TTS. Have a nice evening.
DeleteThank you, Lynn! Glad to hear that the utility jacket worked out, it looks really nice. Have a great day!
Delete@jan, I finally located the original green non waxy downtown field jacket on eBay. I paid $57.00 NWT including free shipping. I’m very pleased as it’s such a pretty green. As I mentioned to you earlier the Garment dyed utility jacket is so nice, reviews were on spot about the color and I will get a lot of wear out of it. I see a lot of women wearing similar items and color but this one stands out from the rest with collar. Have a great day and again so happy all of you in Canada got some type of promo.
DeleteH7094 Tuscan Olive after all.
DeleteThat says uncoated, are you sure that’s the original one Lynn? I got the uncoated one in Tuscan olive a few years ago as well. But it was after 2014 I’m pretty sure.
DeleteThat’s the same one I have listed on posh. I’ll check the date
DeleteMine is H7094 uncoated Downtown field jacket, Tuscan olive, 2018
Delete@Lynn, that’s amazing that you found the green! Great price too!
Delete@Suz, Thanks for checking she said 2013 and yes it is uncoated. VPS said they did make a different green during that time . I suppose the only way I will know it’s when I’ve received it. Thanks so much again and to others here.
DeleteKUDOS for the Canada promo. Someone FINALLY heard/read/recognized your complaints and decided that it was time to give in a little. Fingers crossed that they will bring more that are in line with the US site goodies. I never understood the reason(s) for the differences. Still waiting on my booties to ship but at least I haven't seen the dreaded "not enough" email. Have a good week everyone!
ReplyDelete@Rashawnda, Thank you for saying that! 😊 it’s def nice to finally have a promo, hoping we get more than 30% off eventually. I hope that your booties ship soon!
DeleteIf anyone is interest in the Autumn Tweed jacket I did post above to Shopping Celle and Liz earlier AR428
