I must be honest and say that I was not a big fan of the Hacking Jacket when it first showed up on the website. The “longer, leaner silhouette” turned me into a non-fan. I paid no more attention to it…until today. I was finally able to check out the 2nd rollout of new arrivals at my local J Crew B&M. I really had no idea what to expect since there were so many new pretty things to look at online. I scheduled a time with my PS who put together some great outfits…again. Those pictures will be up soon.

The Charcoal was in my items to try on in the but I also saw the Grass in-store too. I asked my PS and she said my size (6) was already sold-out but once she saw the 6 in the Charcoal was a little snug, especially in the shoulders she went to check on the 8 in the Grass.

And she found it! The longer length is not as long as I expected and I do like the slimmer cut. The Grass color is really pretty and now I am intrigued to see the Midnight Ocean, Vibrant Flame and Heather Dark Grape.
