J Crew is experiencing a renaissance as a business. Many of it clothes are now made in Italy. While this has driven the price up somewhat the quality of the fabric and the cut has improved dramatically. Service is unobtrusive here, almost too withdrawn at times. Many of the stores only carry a limited selection of what is available in the catalog and on line but J Crew is happy to order something for you that you can try on at the store. J Crew sells both men and womens clothing with an emphasis on east coast preppy. This is a great place to come for the basics or for travel clothes. Sales take place all year round and are often worth the wait.
