  1. Good jacket. “CREW” written on the back of the neck is awkward. And the only reason why I decided not to buy the jacket. Also, on the jackets I looked at (In #1 Barcelona) The print on the front was loose/ starting to come off. So it might be a quality issue? On the other side, it might be a positive sign that the “CREW” writing on the neck can easily be removed (?) All in all, I regret not buying it, as I now have to add shipping to the price
