J Crew: You Have To Hand It To Them


Tchoh, it isn't a photoshop disaster, he's just had his hands amputated and the photographer didn't notice. Dumb blog.

Edit: No, his hands aren't in his pockets.

Thanks to L!

Isn't his left hand in his pocket? Not sure about the right one.

his hands are in his pockets !

MichaelWendell said...

aren't his hands in his pockets? i really think so, it's just that the black blazer makes it looks odd.

FOOentes said...

FAIL

Ian Aleksander Adams said...

seriously. pockets.

David said...

Something odd going on here. Does the jacket have some kind of front-side vent, which would appear to be the case with the flap near his right hand. His shirt sleeve is visible but then his right hand appears to disappear into thin air. The left wrist is seen disappearing into his left jeans pocket but those jeans don't look like they've got any hands thrust into the front pockets at all. Then there's the bottom hem of the jacket which is behind the left hand apparently cutting in front of it somehow. And there are people saying this isn't a PSD? Like me, I expect they can't understand why it's so difficult to get three people together and link arms in front of a camera.

Oh, and although we can't see the bottom of his legs, does anyone have any convincing explanation of why the man, who is taller than both of his ladyfriends, has a waist some way below either of them? Hmm? Not a disaster?

Jim said...

Did they change the pants to jeans and leave the hands in the other pair?

Thomas Westgard said...

His hands aren't missing - you can see the outline of his right hand in his pocket. Unfortunately for the young man, the wrist that should connect that hand to his arm seems to have disappeared.

Maybe he's so painfully thin that his wrist is like a little wire that disappears into the lateral part of the sleeve.

binarytales said...

I think Jim has got it right. I reckon he was wearing trousers that matched his jacket and the "PSD" was to switch for jeans.

Rolly said...

I have sent in way better ones than this. WHY DO YOU IGNORE ME.

Loner Gamer said...

2 girls, 1 arm.

rob-t-firefly said...

More like "new for FAIL," amirite?

Monica Meneses said...

there is nothing wrong with this one!

Morgan said...

So, I checked the time for this post, and it's 2:25 PM. That excludes the possibility that it was posted after a hard night on the booze.

I'm now forced to consider the possibility that you don't own jeans with pockets?

A rare miss. Love the blog, though, always makes my meagre PS talents feel superior.

Stacia said...

His hands are in pockets, but we should still be able to see part of his hands. They were clearly shopped out. I can't even figure out what they were trying to fix with this one.

Jennifer said...

I'm pretty sure the hands are just in the pockets, though that right sleeve looks awfully loose as compared to his left sleeve.

isopropyl24 said...

Dang... he has some funky pockets... and ultra-flexible wrists... o_O

Lily Grace said...

His tie is reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy long

modkidboutique said...

the real disaster here is what's going on directly behind the girl on the viewer's right (the one in the solid brown dress). Check out the area between her arm and his arm... is there a 3rd arm back there?? if her arm was extended -- the way the curvature of her armpit suggests -- her hand couldn't possibly be where it is... they shopped her in!!!!

Mariah said...

There is also something odd going on with the blonde girl's arm.

sophmagazine said...

oh, I get it! he DOES have hands, they just float a couple inches away from his wrists. tricksy!

Patrice said...

Im pretty sure his hands are just in his pockets, though there are some other screwy things going on with this picture.

Ai3d said...

Only right one is messed up. link: http://filedropper.com/jcrew

Guánder Guóman! said...

Unless... his pockets don't have hems...

Timothy Barrington-Smythe said...

Love the way this site watermarks pictures they have no claim of rights too.

Spencer E Holtaway said...

modkidboutique has it right:
"Check out the area between her arm and his arm... "

The arm that's coming through between his body and arm isn't the arm on the girl on the right. I think they tried to comp two shots together. In one she had her arm more around him (hence the phantom armpit) and in the other her arm was down, and coming through between his arm and body.

So, arm around girl is on top and arm-in-arm girl is behind.

Maybe they were playing that game where you put your arms behind your back and someone does your arms for you. Jokes.

Jojojo espero que te encuentres bien; cuando puedas visita mi blog para que veas las cosas que he publicado...cuidate!

His hands/wrists/whatever have quite clearly disappeared. There is a gap between the bottom of each sleeve and each pocket.

Please, if you have transparent wrists, let me know so that I can see why you're saying that this is not a PsD.

Chris said...

Too many disasters in one picture... can't...stop...looking...

And while we're at it, look at the left gal's hair. Either she's the only one in a stiff wind, or she's wearing some pretty stiff hairspray.

Chris said...

...to say nothing of the fact that the brown dress isn't even a part of their fall line.

This almost requires a new category: "Quick, we're not selling enough, paste in a hot blonde"

Melanie Rimmer said...

The trousers are totally shopped. I despair if you can't see it.

The Mushroom said...

Can't a guy play pocket pool between two girlfriends in peace?

The guy, not the picture, is the failure.

ryusen said...

see and i thought the real disaster was that he was wearing jeans with that top while going out with those two girls.

trrich said...

His hands *ARE* in his pockets. Unfortunately, they're in the pockets of his trousers, which have been 'shopped out of this picture and replaced with jeans that did not have pockets in quite the same location. No problem: we'll just 'shop in a sexy blonde and no one will notice the missing hands or the armpit with an arm growing out of it...

mike r baker said...

I'm convinced that the jeans are shopped in and the hands were left out. And David mentioned his height to waist height compared to the girls - I think I have an answer for that.

Notice where his elbows are? His upper arms are twice as long as his lower arms. That torso must have been stretched to make him taller. All around, that poor man is badly deformed.

curvature said...

Ugh. Some people are so quick to call "FAIL" or "there's no problem with this image, how dissapointing!" that they're not even looking at the image first to see what's wrong with it.

You don't need to be bludgeoned with it to see what's happened, it's a very good find.

Squink! said...

Crikey, cut the guy a break, the hands are quite obviously not in his pockets at all. Blimey. Notice how no wrist/hand comes from the sleeve on the right. Obviously a major screw up.

Avoura said...

Maybe he has very short arms and cannot find a shirt or jacket to fit, so the sleeves are always way too long, so he looks like this all the time. Or someone messed up and cut his hands off in Photoshop.

TheJunction said...

I can´t tell it either, but it looks like they are in his pockets.

Cheers TJ from TheJunction

patrickfreebern said...

Hands aren't in pockets? So he just has a really pointy right hip then?

yessongs brasil said...

His arms are almost prehensilely long. His true hands may be in his true pockets but he's been stretched.

His photoshopper should see a virtual chiropractor.

bechols138 said...

I'm amazed that someone tries on every post to claim that it's not a photoshop error.

He's missing his right hand! you do not even have to know what photoshop is to know that under the white cuff of the sleeve should be a friggin hand.

PageUPseo said...

What he is doing with his hand in pocket? ;)

vijayakumar said...

I didn't expect they can't understand why it's so difficult to get three people together and link arms in front of a camera.

Tomas said...

Look the right arm, they stetched (look the right elbow). Then erased the hand to pretend is in the pocket, Ja. Great! (sorry my bad english)

Allie said...

From readint he comments, most people think he's changed his pants in photoshop. Why, then, would they take seemingly fine pants (plus his hands) and replace them with jeans that have a wet pee stain on the crotch? The shopped the guy's hand away, you'd think they'd do something about his "accident".

Apart from that, they all seem to be shopped into the background. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the girl on the far left: her hair is blowing much lighter and in a different direction to girl-on-the-right's hair who seems to have very heavy hair by her shoulder. The shadows around their faces don't look quite right either.

I think it is in the pockets
