How long do they take to arrive from the time your order? How is the sizing compared to an AJI? TTS?The art of storytelling

your broseph was not wrong...
According to Fashion Week Daily and the New York Post, Alejandro Rhett has lost his job at J.Crew this past Thursday — one week following the company's announcement of a massive round of layoffs at its New York offices — after Rhett posted a series of tasteless Instagram photos celebrating his continuing employment (such choice hashtags include #hungergames and #maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavor).
Rhett, who had been at J.Crew since 2007, was appointed as vice president of men's merchandising in April 2014. He personally laid off a handful of employees on June 10, and the combination of his executive leadership position and the Instagram photos’ flippant inclusion of several aggressively preppy, Patrick Bateman–type elements (jokes about pleated shorts, glasses of rosé) led many on social media to label Rhett a sociopath. Others have been defending Rhett, saying that the Instagrams were celebrating his birthday, not the firings.
Since the Instagrams were first posted last week, the accounts of Rhett's fellow celebrating J.Crew employees Vanessa de Jesus (@v_dj) and Julie Stamos (@jsstamos) have disappeared, and Andrew Ruth’s (@andrewrny) has been set to private. There’s no word yet on whether those employees are still with the company. We're waiting on a comment from J.Crew about those staffers’ employment status, but it issued the following statement to press last week:
"We do not condone this behavior in any way. Individuals’ actions do not represent the culture of our company – this is not who we are. The tough decisions we made last week were not something we took lightly. We do our best to make decisions with care and compassion for all of our associates. Our values at J.Crew are and have always been about respect, support, and consideration for others."

I only work for the company part time so I didn't hear about the layoff until last weekend.
That IG post etc was hella tasteless tho. Dude should have known better.
I can't speak on whether or not the company is struggling. I truly wouldn't get a good feel from the retail stores in my area.

Pure boosts came in yday but sizing 0.5 down was not the move :\
Heading back to FTL today to see if any store has a 10 or 10.5 in stock. #PrayersForQueeze

I tried on the ultra boosts in store and will stay my normal Nike size when I order. The shoes felt long but seemed narrow. Sizing down would hurt my feet unless they stretch a lot. Doesn't seem like the all black colorway will go on sale though. Want those and the all blue ones.

So I am just entering the work the force, but I never really cared about my appearance until recently. This was because I was/am an overly muscular person with a small frame and for clothes to fit correctly they would have to tailored and I was not financially ready to make that commitment. Fast-forwarded I am trying to find a business professional style that I could double as going out clothes. Where would a recommend someone like myself start?

Thanks guys. Many years of constant trial and error. Many of you are farther ahead of the curve than i was back then. I didn't get my first bespoke suit till 5 years ago, and i'm sure many of you have had bespoke suits before you hit 30 ... lol. I've been dressing forever though. bespoke just raises the fit and allows for finding and commissioning rarer fabrics that you will normally not see in stores.
Right now i dont even try on suits in the mall anymore. Just doesn't work.
I'll put up some pix of my place later. Lucked out on it during the recession and spent about half a year getting it done.

It's a marketing strategy (cant remember the terminology). Tag prices are intently high and they give you 30-40% off to create an illusion that you're getting a good deal when in reality, the clothes are meant to be sold for 30-40% off. Same **** for many other retailers (Gap, grocery stores w/ their stupid savings cards, etc.)Is Jcrew struggling right now or something? It seems like there's a 30%-40% sale every few weeks. Can't remember the last time I bought something full priced from there since 2013
