Every once in a while they put out an old school belt back jacket.

Not bad. I would ditch the leather shoulder and elbow patches. Don't want to look like a 70's school teacher.

Why can't they just make a nice normal belted coat for once.

Regards.

Okay J. Peterman, what happened to the cool vintage looks I was always happy to see when I used to open your catalog? I used to think of your goods as the modern day version of Banana Republic (as BR changed to being The GAP). I'd also like to see something other than dresses on the cover of the catalog. I bought from you for the cool adventurous Norfolk jackets and Ghurka pants, not the 15 different flower print dress styles.

Can the urban sombrero be far behind?

I expect they know who their main customer base are, what they like, and are marketing accordingly.

But hey: They have actual photos of the garments now. What a great idea

Metatron · Mar 7, 2014

What is even the point of those drawings? They aren't particularly enticing. Illustrating a man wearing the garment showing combinations of colours and patterns is one thing, but just a bland drawing of an empty jacket?!
On a positive note their entrepreneur blazer looks great.
But then they let themselves down again by being vague about the fabric content. ''wool blend'' I'd like to know what is in the blend?
Being mysterious-not a good way to advertise clothes.

True. I also think the illustrations doesn't look very good but it may have been done to get a vintage inspired catalog style. To set themselves apart from "cold" pictures of the concurrence? Something like that. A drawing CAN highlight certain aspcects of a garment but I don't think this is the case here.

Good grief! The banality of internet trends never ends. People aren't even trying anymore..

The only thing that hasn't changed about J.P. over the years are those awful sketches and people's dislike of them!
