JC Penney: American Living

[Widebrim]

A couple of days ago I bought some AL Classic Khakis for $25 (half-off sale). They look and feel good on me, and the construction seems to be solid. The waist doesn't fold under when worn with a belt, either, which is a big plus for me. Only complaint: The zipper's not long enough. Worth $50. No way! $25? Yeah, I'm satisfied...

Wore the jacket today for dog walking. The weather is around 28 degrees and windy. The jacket does a great job of stopping the wind and keeping me warm.
A great vintage looking jacket for the price.

28 degrees?! Man, you need to move to L.A.; it was in the upper 70s today...But, anyway, glad the jacket worked out for you, Feraud. Now get back to posting about neckties.lol

That is 28 degrees before you factor in the wind chill... then we are talking around 0! I love this weather. It gives me a chance to wear the heavy clothes.
Speaking of ties.. did I show you the black tie with the embroidered peacock? It is an interesting one..

I agree, NYC winters are great for vintage heavy wool clothes. But this weekend has sure been rough! I was out walking the dog at 3 AM last night... quite cool I must say... lol

For us here, 60 degrees is an excuse to wear heavy clothes! No, I don't recall the "peacock" tie. Hopefully you will post it on the necktie strand. Oh, and...fftopic:

3 AM?! Well, that would certainly explain it being "quite cool."

My dog had to go to the bathroom and wouldn't go to sleep until he did. But each time we went outside, he would remember just how cold it was and would want to go back in... repeat for several hours and that was my night. :eusa_doh: lol

I came up with this line on the subway and so decided to add it...

The Winchell can be doughNUTS!

At the flea market today I received two compliments on the plaid newsboy jacket. One dealer asked if it was a vintage piece and was surprised when I told him where I bought it.

That certainly says something for American Living. Now, does anyone know if it is true that the line is going to fold, so to speak? I hope not...

I don't mind if it folds, I'd just like to know if it will hold a crease? [huh]

But seriously, I saw Feraud's jacket in person and I'd say in regards to vintage-inspired modern items, it's definitely one of thee buys of the season! Who could argue with that price, paired with all the details and quality?!

Very much the card, mike!lol By the way, I covet your Wembley necktie avatar...

I finally made a decision and wanted to order one and guess what.. JC Penny's doesn't offer the jacket anymore online

Are the newsboy-jackets still available in the stores? and if so, would any of you kind fellow-loungers buy one for me (I'll pay offcourse) and send it to Europe? My size is XL..

I looked for one locally right after Christmas and couldn't find one in XL...friend of mine copped the last one in the area I think.

When I looked about three weeks ago, I saw a couple in that size. If I am able today, dcg, I will check it out for you.

Sorry, dcg. I checked at my local JCP, and there are no more...

Hey gang, anything worthwhile in this collection at the moment?

[mattfink]

Nothing on the Penney's website that looks too interesting...maybe in the fall?

That was my assessment as well, but I was hoping my fellow loungers knew differently. It seems like a seersucker jacket or something would be a natural for this line, but I guess not.

maybe in the fall?

Probably so. I know I can’t wait to wear my plaid jacket, come cool weather.
