Doing You A Solid

J. Crew's final sale is not as epic as I would have liked, but there are a few things to get excited about, one of which being their solid NATO style watch straps going for $10-$15 a clip.  Keep in mind these are for 18mm watches so I recommend breaking out your ruler before breaking out your plastic.  I'm not sure what the motivation is behind a fire sale on such a versatile accessory, but one can only assume it has been determined by someone important that regimental stripes are most definitely what the cool kids are buying these days.  I guess that leaves the solid joints for all us broke ass losers. What a shame.


[Editor's note: It's open season on the striped ones as well.  Please ignore my terrible jokes/observations from above.  Looks like J. Crew will have some new options for us soon.]

  1. Same deal is goin on with the striped ones too. All of these straps have been going for $15 for a while now. They just dropped a few colors down to $10.

  2. For more sizes there are some sites you can check out, at prices comparable to J. Crew's sale prices: www.watchbandgirl.com sells 'em for 15 USD shipped in 18,20,22mm sizes, albeit with a limited selection. Check out also www.thewatchprince.com and www.gnomonwatches.com

  4. For my part, I'm thinking of gobbling up a bunch of pants. J. Crew's Classic Fit pants are my favorite fit of pants that I've encountered thus far.

  5. All made NOT in the USA. I walked about the J Crew where I reside, nice fabrics and designs, etc..., but none made here. Why?
