A visitor (Anonymous at 9:57AM from the When is the next "20%" off sale? post) suggested a great idea: To create a new post for J.Crew Aficionadas to comment on particular items they are looking for and can't find online or in their local store with the hope that others (who do come across those items at their local stores) can respond with that exact location. Moreover, those shoppers who have come across some great bargains at their local store can share that information so those who are interested can call that store directly to order that item.
(Basically, this will be our own version of J.Crew's "store search" for products they offer. Especially since J.Crew doesn't offer this service for sale items.)
If this feature becomes popular enough, than I will find another site that does forums and incorporate it with this one.
So please start making product requests and listing bargains that you have come across! The more information you provide, in terms of the name\ item number\ color\ & size, the better. :)

LOVE your Blog, btw!!! It's the best one on the net thus far! I'm new to J Crew (I live in Canada) and was only re-introduced to it about 3 months ago and since then, I've been a J Crew Shopping Maniac. One of the items I'm looking for is the Gramercy Winter coat in either the Alpine Green or the Bright Flame. Does anyone know if J Crew made this desig prior to the Fall-Winter 2007 season? Do you think they'll bring it back? I'm looking for a size 8 preferably so that I can wear a suit under the coat. Can anyone help?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous at 6:55PM! Thanks for the nice comment.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely keep an eye out for it. Although I haven't seen winter coats in their stores for a while now. (However, sometimes they bring a few items back into their sale that were offered a year earlier. So you never know!)
For those not sure of the item, a picture of it can be found here. (Item 88689)
Yes, just keep checking the website daily. I got the butterfly jacket (that sold out really fast in the spring of '07) in October '07. It just popped up one day in my size:) You might get lucky too!
ReplyDeleteI just missed my item - men's shorts, size 36, pale blue with red lobsters. In my shopping bag during the last sale and were gone by the time I got to checkout. If anyone sees them, I'd love to know about it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, Alexis.
note: sale section is now 20% off.
ReplyDelete(of course it is now that the 20% coupon has expired!!!)
When I was shoppping at JCrew in San Francisco after work, I saw CEO Mickey Drexler there! I have followed his career (since he was at Gap here in SF before JCrew) and so recognized him right away. I think he is SO awesome and is probably one of the reasons I now shop at JCrew and I never ever did 5 years ago!
ReplyDeleteMaggie May- that is really cool! :) He has been doing a great job managing J.Crew so far.
ReplyDeleteI also am a HUGH fan of this blog! THANK YOU so much for starting it! You are really well organized, the layout is awesome, you are well versed in everything J Crew (their pluses and minuses), plus you are current on sales and update daily! You provide a great service to all of us J Crew addicts. I take my hat off to you!! Thanks again,

I've been looking for the swiss dot emily blouse in shell(pink) in a size 0 or 2. If anyone comes across it, please let me know! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteKirbydog: very nice of you to say! I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a boatneck sweater dress (I think the item description said it could also double as a tunic), but I can't remember the item number. The closest I could find was 81794. The only difference is the dress I want is a bluish-violet/purple color and in petite (I think it came in petite).
ReplyDeleteI tried on the regular XS in a store when it was on clearance, but it was damaged and the last one, so I didn't buy it :( I didn't think to check online or have them ask other stores for me...
Anyone have any of the old catalogs and knows the item number I'm looking for? Or seen it pop up back online?
Thanks!
I found the item number! It's 87440, Vintage-print Merino Boatneck Sweater Dress. It's from Fall 2007, so I don't know how good my chances are of finding it again...
ReplyDeleteI guess they don't have it in petite though, so if anyone sees it in a regular XS, please let me know!
Sue.Bee & Others... I will keep an eye out for those items. :)
ReplyDeleteCheck ebay for the dress. I just got-- last night-- a skirt I wanted from summer of 2006! If it isn't up for bid, you can get ebay to send you an automatic email if that item description and size do appear.
ReplyDeletethanks, jagjag. i've checked ebay before, but have yet to see it there. i guess i just have to keep looking.
ReplyDeleteI wanted a skirt from two years ago that I missed. Had a search for 1 year on it from ebay......finally came up and I got it last week! So keep trying.....
ReplyDeleteI am desperately searching for the Island Eyelet Long Dress in white in a 4 or a 6. Any suggestions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just tried removing rust stains from my favorite pair of j crew shorts... and I have failed! I would really like to find a new pair, but I cannot find them online.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the tags but the style # is 226224, they are gray, 100% cotton, drawstring, with buttons on the pockets, grey, size 31, square butt pockets (hehe)... I bought them at an outlet store at the beginning of the summer so they are probably an old style. The most notable features are the button pockets and the drawstring. (Don't be confused, they are not the same as the new lightweight beach shorts they are selling).
Let me know if you find anything or need more information....
THANKS!!
