A fiery force to be reckoned as a whole, J.Crew recently presented their Spring/Summer 2010 collection in a usual J.Crew Ideology - an equal balance between work and play; quality and price consciousness; style and trends. As fiery as the entire range is (each-piece-in-total-sync-with-the-others), nothing seemed to garner as much of my attention as the Fireman Jacket. A clear inspiration from traditional fire fighter's coats, it a contemporary and wearable take: its shape and quick-release clasps are a direct carbon-copy from the original, yet it is slimmed down and far-fetch from fire fighter's iconic yellow. Frank Muytjens, J.Crew's head men's designer states:
"We particularly love it because of its utilitarian purposes and authentic functioning details. We updated it through fit and fabric and picked a gutsy waxed canvas to retain the masculine aura… gave it an aggressive wash to make it look broken in and used, a rugged look.

the entire collection looks good to me. Ive always loved J.Crew.
Its ironic how "DC Style" J.Crew is.
Unfortunately, this wasn't really revealed until the Obama's moved to town. Now suddenly everyone is in love with J.Crew.
The jacket is too much, and I mean that in a good way. As for J.Crew, ppl in DC have been on J.Crew for ever, its the outside world that is suddenly taking notice.
