Off On a Tangent: Land's End Canvas {free shipping & reviews are in!}

Don't worry, I am still all about the Crew! But sometimes there are codes/ offers from other retailers that might be useful for some J.Crew Aficionadas & Aficionados, like now...As mentioned in the "Off On A Tangent: Land's End Canvas {20% off & fre...", I am becoming a *huge* fan of Land's End latest Canvas line (click here to shop online).

Right now, Land's End Canvas is offering free shipping (no minimum) using promo code CANVASFB & pin 00001174. This offer expires 3/7/10.

Also, "thanks!" to J.Crew Guy In Canada who shared with us two posts with great reviews of various items for MEN from Land's Ends Canvas:

• "Hands On: Lands' End Canvas" post over at Sartorially Inclined
• "Review: Lands' End Canvas Ragtop Newspaper Bag" post at Line Change

But wait! There are more great blogs reviewing Land's End Canvas items for WOMEN too. The following are just a sampling:

• "Land's End Canvas: Shift Dress Review" post over at LOVE it.
• "Lands' End: The Canvas Line" post at Fabulous Florida Mommy
• "Review of Lands' End Canvas: The Oblong Print Scarf!" post at DaniBP Mop Philosopher
• "Lands' End Canvas: Women's Poplin Skirt!" post at DaniBP Mop Philosopher
• "Review of Lands' End Canvas! {Gingham Poplin Shirt}" post at DaniBP Mop Philosopher

The press is also lovin' this new line. The first two articles listed below not only review Canvas but also provide several images (one of them shown above). The styles are eerily similar to J.Crew (& in a good way). The last article talks about future plans & expansion.

• Glamour's "Lands' End Gets Chicified: Get To Know Canvas" article
• GQ's "Look Sharp for Less: Lands' End Canvas" article
• Nightly Business Report's "Canvassing Lands' End" article

I recently purchased the Women's Gingham Poplin Shirt (Item #39093-6X42; $44.50) in "True Navy Check". I went with size 0 for a more fitted cut, and it worked out fantastically. The fabric is absolutely lovely- with a bit of stretch thanks to the Lycra Spandex mixed with the Cotton. Usually J.Crew's button-downs are a bit tight on the last button (because I am a pear shape). Not this shirt. It is meant for my body frame. It is a better fit for me than J.Crew's Perfect Shirts. I liked this shirt so much, that I ordered a second in "China Blue Check".
