Is J Crew Cool Again? 

So J Crew isn't exactly the most hyped brand, but I think for a lot of Americans it's accessible. Does elevating a mall staple like this "help" fashion or maybe people just getting into "style?" Any chance you'll check out J Crew now? Lmk

I don’t always instantly click to view newly posted RU-vid videos, but when I do, it’s Brave New Wear.

THERE HE IS!!!!! COMEBACK IMMINENT?

The main issue at J. Crew is quality. The majority of the items are made in china on the cheap and DO NOT justify the price point. The brand leans to heavy on their "heritage" image. Wait until the inevitable 40% - 60% off markdown sale. The sale prices are more reflective of the quality you get. Also, J. Crew will match online sales in store, and offer price adjustments on full price items if they go on sale within a week of original purchase. As a former FT manager for the brand, for five years, in two major American cities, my advice is no one should pay full price for anything from J. Crew.

I'll forever associate J Crew with MFA on reddit. That whole look is a bit cringe now, but it's what got me interested in fashion.

Big smile seeing you on my front page.

Always great to see you upload!

Bro you are the most underrated fashion channel. This is some high quality, hilarious shit

They have an amazing offshoot company, Wallace and Barnes. Basically, WW2 era fashion but slightly modernized, I get that a lot.

Used to work at J Crew inn highschool/college and always thought about this stuff. Great vid Christian. Glad to see you're back!

Love the direction J. Crew has been heading in. The giant fit chinos and courduroys are staples in my wardrobe. I hope they do a denim iteration

Great stuff!

Love Love J.Crew Amazing Brand with Quality product and service 👍🏾👍🏾

Picked up a lot of pieces from Jcrew last year and more on my watch list. Love the direction they have been going. And can’t beat the amazing sales they have

Welcome back Christiano 🤌!!!

I've had that black rugby polo for about a year now and holy heck does it get A LOT of wear! It's like right where I want to be in the dress-up/dressed-down spectrum, and I get so many compliments when I wear it!

loved looking through the catalog another great vid🔥

Great video and glad to see you back. Hair looks fantastic as always. Slightly off topic but you should check out Buck Mason sometime. Stumbled in to one of their stores a few days ago and was really impressed and their retail stores are beautiful.

I’ve been out of the fashion game since I realized I’m too broke to play. Would LOVE a video on navigating being a fashion hobbyist within a budget (for example however you manage it). I’m a new subscriber and wanted to say you have great videos and got me back into the fashion zeitgeist! Edit: I usually find silhouettes I like and substitute with more “mall brands” and stick to finding interesting thrift finds for more statement like pieces

the goat is back

THE LEGEND

I like the big pants from j.crew. They look like Regular fit dockers. I like when brands are willing to experiment and try new fabrics, designs, textures. Idk how to explain it but j.crew previous looks reminds me of anyone who works in middle management lol.

Great video keep on going wit da work

Those giant chinos look fun. Excellent vid, per uge 👌🏾👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾

Love the content man keep it up!

Ok this video is fabulous 👌✨ also I love J Crew

How dare you practice real journalism!? I love this take on jcrew...to be honest I'm here from the Understitch video on J crew. J crew is only back if they go back to using high quality wools and fabrics. And yes i loved Severance...that ending was chef's kiss.

Another banger

Verrrrrrrry interesting sir. I stopped shopping at j.crew because everything became stretch and slim. This led me to realize I preferred 100% cotton and roomier fits, which ultimately led me to having an interest in fashion, which ultimately brought me to your channel. I will like the video.

I remember when J Crew’s blue gingham shirt had a chokehold for a period of time. There was an instagram account dedicated to that shirt too

Some of my favorite pieces I have purchased within the last year have been from J Crew. I am still trying to discover my style, and some pieces I have gotten there have pushed me out of my more streetwear/sporty style into a more "preppy" look. Great to know the history, and understand why I have also noticed a good shift in the stuff the are releasing. When I go to the mall now, I actually like stopping into my J crew. I might have to get a pair of the giant chinos too👀👀

Your personality and sense of humor are electric and so entertaining. You got my subscription.

Interesting to hear a fashion critique focused on aesthetics. I worked in fashion across the board with a focus on manufacturing and market week. Ice always seen things from the business and corporate perspective as the fashion industry becomes very profits driven and the second shareholders are involved no matter how few, you can be sued for making art that doesn’t profit. Art for the sake of art in fashion is a crime due to business corporate structures required for basic contract work in fashion. Anyways, so interesting to be outside myself. Love the video.

oh he’s back back

Missed you ¡

We're so back boys

OOOOOOO LALA.! Do more of these! It'd be interesting to hear you talk about how it's legal for example Steve Madden to make knock offs of a Ganni shoe & how smaller name brands can make dupes... idk what I'm trying to say but I'm sure you get it lol. Do a little video of pieces you bought & why you bought them. Or what about the 2nd hand industry in compared to fast fashion... xoxo

😂😂😂 So good bro

Oh my goodness is j crew is cool now that makes fashion way easier!

It was nice meeting you tonight Christian xD

yass so glad you talked about them, i worked there last year and i honestly didn’t like a lot what they had in store, but i definitely noticed the rebranding and was why i was hired lol, got to pick out a fit for free and literally got the giant chinos because it was so reminiscent of ralph. too bad the customer base still seemed to be middle age housewives who definitely didn’t want a queer telling them how to dress lolllll

Christian, thanks for the great video! Are you wearing the Ludlow unstructured cotton suit?😮

Preppy people do be loving the ocean

I just went to j crew and got a shirt first time in years lol

He’s back! Edit: would love an Abercrombie video next 😉

the black look is some Dylan Rieder chic. Which also goes full circle in a way with the Supreme/Noah/FA thing.

9:07 made me laugh lol

yippeeeeee!

4:12 Not rhyming Don Draper with Tyler, the Creator was a missed opportunity

Excellent review, derisive attitude and persistent greed. 🤑😆

🎉🎉🎉

Looking good Matthew Broderick. Thinking J Press is making a comeback.

You look so handsome❤

What 'bout Palace? Can we throw them in the mix?

i j crewd my pants when i saw a new video from here on my feed 🙏 btw wheres that jacket from??

i didnt know reviewbrah had a brother

Like J crew, do you think I will ever be cool again

brother remembered his YT password💀

Did JC embrace streetwear or do the men who have always bought JC no longer fit into slim cut? Maybe they just got older and wider.

“It looks like a way that would dress her boring boyfriend” 17:26 😂😂😂😂 Bruh hell naw! I went recently to a J.Crew and I didn’t even bother looking for the Giant Chinos since it was so bland and preppy. Maybe next time I go in and I’ll try them on Great vid!

I was wondering about where you'd been very recently. Good to see you're back. As much as I personally enjoy longer videos, I don't think 20 minute videos are going to get you out of this subscriber stagnation pit you've been at for as long as I've watched you. You need to be more concise with your approach with 8-11 minute videos that get more to the point. This doesn't mean you don't drop your personality for the sake of time, but maybe cut some of the needless (but again, interesting to me) fat from your output.

Unemployed Chrstian = resumes uploading bussin ong fashion videos. Idk how I feel about this

Hilarious dead name joke. Super smart joke.

4 d algo

i mean i like jcrew

As someone who used to work visual at a J.Crew store the observation about the merchandising is so spot on lol They're so out of touch with guys transition from streetwear to traditional menswear

What's your height? You look shorter with the wide black chinos pants.

ur like a fashion drew gooden but less annoying

🍖y vid

Once Aime Leon Dore hacked the matrix and figured out how to hybridize preppy/Trad stuff with streetwear style and attitude J Crew - i.e. commoditized version of the not-Wall Street Manhattan douchebag look - and its whole aesthetic became obsolete sort of overnight.

in my opinion, J. Crew's only flaw is that they're overpriced.

You must learn how to pronounce Ralph Lauren's last name. Really.

what i think ? there is nothing to think straight up no no fast garbage fashion j speeeew.....

18:28 My man, at your height, you should _not_ be wearing giant fit anything. You look like a toddler wearing his dad’s clothes. It’s brutal honesty, but it’s the truth. It’s not just you, though. It’s 90% of guys who have adopted this trendy oversized look. It’s not flattering on anyone under 6’2”. Always go for a tailored look; not necessarily _slim,_ but tailored. You want to look like the clothes were made for you. That will always look timeless, and not like you’re trying too hard.
