If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in the FALL sale, or to see some new FALL/WINTER
arrivals {sigh!} in
person, maybe you might be
willing to share that with us in this
post. In particular, if you could
share with us a few of the
noteworthy items that are available, at
what prices, and potential sizes
the store is carrying (as well
as the store location)- that would be
fantastic!Also, please let us know if your local store is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWent to J Crew in Century City Westfield, LA today and there were quite a few sweaters (both wool and cashmere), a few silk sleeveless tops, lots of regular long sleeved tops. There were a few pencil skirts and dresses for sale, the bottoms seemed a little picked over. Additional 30% off on sale.
Oh and white bootcut jeans were only $29.99 + 30% off! If you like the bootcut style, this is a steal!
I'll be posting my reviews on my blog soon (this weekend/monday at the latest so stay tuned! :)

Definitely will be to check out the new arrivals.
ReplyDeleteI did a brief scan irl and want to try on the colorblock sweater w/the elbow patches. I will keep the dreaded Dream fabric and fragile! in the forefront of my mind. Also want to try on the sequin polka dot top & herringbone scarf.
ReplyDeleteI would love a review of the herringbone scarf too.
DeleteTIA
I'll be interested to hear what you think of the colorblock sweater with elbow patches. I tried it on quickly in the tan color with the burgundy on the back and thought the tan washed me out, but I'd like to try it in the other colors because on quick inspection it looks pretty cute.
DeleteHas anyone gotten their rewards card yet?
ReplyDeletePhoebe - I believe someone posted that they're mailed out the first week of Nov. There was also discussion that the amount can be looked up now if you want to use it. Haven't tried it myself.
DeleteHmm, the SA at my store said they would mail them around October 20. I guess they pushed it back?
DeleteGigi - I tried on the polka dot sequin top here.
ReplyDeleteTiffany Rose, coming over to your pad now.
DeleteTiffany rose- loved the look!
DeleteI would love any reviews of the new fancy silk tie pants in the green or purple if anyone sees them!
ReplyDeleteFancy silk tie pants.....where ? What have I missed ? Thanks
Deletefound them in the collection pieces. Great ...more lovely patterns and fabrics...in the capris. They fit me poorly...more money saved I guess. I am trying the paley and the stovepipe (promo but not final sale). I want the prints and fabrics in more than capris.....please please...Carolyn from Vancouver
DeleteI sure will! I really want to get the Etta pumps in the red color! They are on sale! woo hoo! Have no idea what I'm going to wear them with though!
ReplyDeleteI was in earlier this week, so I do not plan to go this weekend. My store had some of the new arrivals in, but there were not any must haves for me this time around.
ReplyDeleteThere was a significant update to the final sale section this morning, with numerous popbacks, and some further markdowns including the Sterling skirt which is now $79.99 in Retro Jade and Crimson Maple. There are also several new promo-priced items for both the Women and Men. I've updated both lists which you can access on my blog here.
No visit for me (I try to avoid the mall on weekends at all costs) but I just have to chuckle - Factory is having its first sale (25% off everything with code MOREPLEASE) and a) my cart was dumped and b) none of the items can be viewed - every heading takes you to that green "we are unable to process your request" screen. Snort.
ReplyDeleteNice sale, right?! Can't view anything. Can't order anything. Cart dumped. Good times, J Crew, good times!
DeleteThe cart works for me, but it won't recognize free shipping (I've signed up for the factory first). So irritating.
DeleteSame with me and the free shipping. I emailed them, they said they would reimburse me, and then proceeded to tell me how to sign into my account to get free shipping. Yes, I know how to sign into my account, and no, the free shipping still doesn't work for me. They were quick to reimburse me, though, I'll give them that.
DeleteHas anyone seen or even tried on the Factory fringed tweed jacket? It looks good but I wasn't sure how it compares to any others. I saw some on the Anthro site too but the fabric content was cotton/poly. Any opinions?
ReplyDeleteHave pics and reviews of the Hothouse floral dress on my blog here.
ReplyDeleteAre there any in-store promos on fullprice items right now? ie on matchstick cords
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of driving to a b&m but not sure if it's worth the long drive right now. Thank you!
No. 2 pencil skirts were on promo for $99 at my store (Mall of America in MN) Wednesday. I got the yello/gold one.
DeleteSeeking review, thoughts, experiences with the Hacking Jackets that are now on sale. I'm particularly curious about the camel color.
ReplyDeleteThe camel is lovely if you go to my blog its about 4 posts back,
DeleteCopley in Boston has 25% off full priced boots. Sale section is pretty picked over but there are a few zig zag sequin dresses and tons of the geometric (navy/black) pencil skirts in sizes 2-6.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was struck last night (at Copley location) at how many Collection pieces were on the sale rack, some from last season. It was a little sad.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Collection was new, and the pitch was that only a few pieces were made and you'd better hurry if you wanted one?
On the website right now the $495 collection sequin bow pants are $199.99-30%, available in all sizes. Are they learning that their collection prices are too freakin' high yet?
DeleteI will note that they are described as slim cut in the leg, but are also lined! (Re: discussion of unlined pants earlier in the week). I contemplated trying them out, but they do show up as final sale so I will wait until final sale goes away.
I was going to go ahead and place a factory order for a couple of items (I don't usually as there is no factory B&M near me), but now I'm aggravated because they've jacked up all the prices. Why offer a 25% promo and then raise your prices? Why not just offer a 15% promo? Very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteVisited my B&M last night (Park Meadows, Colorado) and joined the love train for the Hothouse Floral blouse. It is stunning IRL and fit is TTS, I took my usual 4. Sale section is still huge (still 30% off), shorts, tanks, short sleeve t's and we had snow and temps in the 20-30's. It's crazy..
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing the Draped skirt (11313 ) for awhile. It is Poly and I haven't ever seen it in person but for $49.99 and 30% off (in Modern Red) I thought I would give it a try. I chatted to see what the waist measurements are for a size 2 and they responded with 27.5". That is 1" smaller than a no 2 pencil skirt in double serge cotton. I sized up....
ReplyDeleteIt is final sale so I thought this might be helpful to someone out there. Good Luck!
Almost forgot....Has anyone actually tried this skirt on? Thoughts?
DeleteDoes anyone have feedback on the modern red schoolboy blazer vs the factory professor blazer in maraschino cherry? Size, fabric, color, etc. Trying to decide between the two...
ReplyDeleteEricka, the factory professor blazer is much more "red". Modern Red is borderline orange. I didn't notice a huge difference in fit but I didn't try them side by side. Good luck!
DeleteI'll be heading to a store..I have returns. :(
ReplyDeleteOn another note, does anyone have reviews on the Booker boots? I’ve been eyeing the ones in estate brown, but afraid to pull the trigger. I need a pair that will hold up for a few years, if possible.
Went to the Salem, NH B&M and picked up the colorblock elbow-patch sweater in flax/cabernet. It will probably pill, as it is a Dream sweater, but the colors are so lovely that I just had to buy it. The store has an extra 30% off sale items, and all of the quilted vests were 25% off. The navy one was styled with a kelly green Tippi -- SO cute!
ReplyDeleteHa the one I tried on already had teeny tiny pilling... Sigh-- I do like the sweater design though :).
DeleteI don't think I'll be going this weekend, but we'll see. I ordered a few things with this promo, and I'm already on to holiday gift shopping.
ReplyDeleteI posted pics of the Hothouse Floral top, the Corkscrew Tweed pencil skirt and the Long-Sleeve Tweed Dress today here.
Apparently the pleated crepe skirt in vibrant fuchsia is $49.99 in store! Just ordered it!
ReplyDeleteOT: Has anyone seen or heard of J.Crew's 'The Guidebook - Holiday 2012' with a model on the cover wearing a cream coat and red rim specs?
ReplyDeleteI use Instagram app by typing #jcrew, and saw a couple people who took a picture of this guidebook. It didn't say Style Guide but Guidebook, and wondering if this is indeed the holiday catalog? And has J.Crew been mailing this to customers now?

DeleteI was told holiday catalogue will be in mail by November 10th and on line too!
i cannot wait! holiday is my favorite!
DeleteThanks Mini!
DeleteNot sure if anyone is still looking for the Collection Bateau dress from this summer, but there were several small sizes (0, 2) on the sale rack at SF Westfield yesterday afternoon. $99.99 I think. HTH!
ReplyDeleteDouble-posting from the reviews thread, but I just stopped into a B&M yesterday and posted more reviews from the new rollout here. The reviews include two items that were only at our higher-tier store.
ReplyDeleteI went yesterday to do returns. They had new items, but the prices are just way too high. I looked at a cute navy, metal bracelet but it was fifty bucks. I probably would have bought it if it was twenty bucks cheaper. ;(
ReplyDeleteI emailed Jcrew because I was getting the 25% off tights and socks discount and this was their reply:
ReplyDeleteDarla J: Thank you. There is a known issue if you add "3 for" items to your bag and apply a promotion code, it reverts to the original price. I'm sorry about that. We will be happy to manually adjust your order if you'd like to call 1-800-562-0258 to order. I can do it in chat, as well, but phone will be faster for you.
Darla J: We can also apply the discount when your order ships if you prefer to order online. Just provide the order number to us in chat or by emailing it to contactus@jcrew.com.
I went the the other day and bought the hothouse floral top and pave heart necklace w/my 20 off coupon. I love that necklace and will definitely be keeping that, and the hothouse top is gorgeous, but pricey. However, I do see it selling out quickly and being something I would wear for a long time. So, the jury is still out on that one. I didn't try on those black and white patterned jeans, but they are so cute!! The few blog posts I've seen of people wearing them look really great.
ReplyDeleteWent to the Tyson's VA store today. They have a great sale section - I got the Collection Shawl Collar Blazer in Berry for $139. (After promo). What a beautiful jacket! The 2 fit perfectly (that is the smaller of my jacket sizes), waist nipped in. I have been eyeing it for months now, so I couldn't be happier. A shout out to the JCA that told us the jacket was in some stores for $199! I also picked up the D'Anjo (lovely) and the optic spot silk shirt for $55. I am really excited! For anyone looking - they had the buckled Mona's in deep navy for $159 plus 30% off.

ReplyDeleteAnyone from the Seattle area care to chime in on th sale section at any of your three J Crew stores. I may head down next weekend but wonder if its worth the trip right now.
ReplyDelete- Do all stores send back sale merchandise before the holiday season starts ? thanks
Carolyn from Vancouver
Went in today to do a return and my SA pointed out that bubble necklaces came out in a crewcut version (92038) in navy and mint for $59.50. Another SA was wearing one herself. It's a normal sized necklace for times when the grown up bubble necklace is just a little bit much -- completely appropriate for adult wear. I had to get both colors, of course. Will be "borrowing" often from daughter's jewelry box...
ReplyDeleteBut that was my only purchase. Nothing too exciting among other new arrivals this week.
I went in today to buy a gift for a friend's birthday and ended up also walking out with the garment-dyed twill ankle toothpick jean. I think I got the soft peach color (it says on the tag "SPE") and not the neon persimmon, but they look very similar online. Can anyone verify that SPE = soft peach?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, these jeans seem solid, but I can't believe they used to be $125. I paid $28+tax for these with the extra 30% off sale.
Phoebe - Soft peach would indeed be SPE. Neon persimmon would be NPE. :)
DeleteThanks! I figured as much. But I thought maybe they had some crazier color system that I didn't know about, haha.
DeleteNot sure if this has been mentioned, but Madewell is an extra 25% off sale and free ship on $100+ today, with code YIPPEE.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is interested in the Edie Grand in caramel and black, which rings up at 89.99, send me an email for store location (and bag location as of course it is not in sale area!). crowrose at aol dot com.
ReplyDeleteHello! I sent you a note. crewspell@gmail.com. Thanks!
DeleteI don't know if there are a lot additional price reductions, but last night (?) they knocked another $40 off the jade and saffron wool cafe capris, making them just $34.99 after the discount! Combined with the free shipping on my account that was quite a deal! I wouldn't have done it without the free ship so yay for (at last) offering some perks.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, the camel plaid cafe capris are listed as sold out! I'm glad I ordered mine when I did. The color winds up a little different than pictured--the flecks of black in the camel herringbone background give the camel a slightly olive tint rather than a warm, true camel, but they'll still work.
It was at least yesterday that they were marked down. I got the saffron, but I had to call CS to get the free shipping.
DeleteI went to the Houston Galleria store twice this week and didn't buy a single thing. Nothing for my husband and not even the usual hair clips because they didn't have the two sizes that I use.
ReplyDeleteI tried the Hothouse blouse just for fun. Although the color is listed as aqua it is too warm green for me, there are no blue undertones in the green. It's also short and think my bust lifted it up a bit as well so no go, even if the colors worked. Lovely print though, I could maybe do it on a cardigan with a different colored tee or turtle underneath, navy, deep red or burgundy perhaps.
Speaking of short, whoever warned me about the Loomknit sweatshirt length being short was bang on. Too bad because it's cute but definitely too short for me at 5'9".
I am ordering the LS cashmere tee in Pagoda Blue. I saw it in the Tippi version and it is gorgeous, wish they would have had it available for the sweater promo. If I didn't need full-length sleeves I would have bought the cashmere Tippi in the store.
There were plenty of the navy French hen sweaters in a range of sizes, a few Frenchie sweaters left too. Sale section wasn't huge but there were patent and suede Martina wedges in a few sizes. The rest was a real menagerie of one-offs.
Are the French hen sweaters on sale yet?
DeleteThe French hen sweaters were still full price.
DeleteThat was me about the Loomknit, isn't it a shame? I'm 5'4" and it's too short.
DeleteTook a first peek at the new JC Factory Store in Vaughan Mills (north of Toronto) this morning. For any Canadian JCAs, 20 to 40 percent off all items in-store, best discounts on skimmer and cord pants, 30% on dresses. With additional 25% discount and free shipping on the new website, online still considerably better deal. They do have a full selection of colours and sizes tho' (plaid shirts, cashmere, lots of scarves etc.) so good for size comparison try-ons or small items not worth waiting for UPS for.
ReplyDeleteThe catalog with the two girls in the coats is up online now. Sorry, I don't know what month it is bec i put mine in the recycle bin already :(
ReplyDeleteIt is the November "style guide" that is online now.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Michigan Ave Chicago store today. Lots of Liberty shirts in the D'Anjo print, matchstick cords in bright yellow and pink, and navy graphic print skirts in the sale section, all an extra 30% off. Perfect tees were on promo for just under $20 and bootcut cords were on promo for $59.50.
ReplyDeletedo you recall how much the graphic print skirts were? Thanks!
DeleteIn Cherry Creek, Colorado store last night they were $89.99 + 30% off. I know they had a 2 and 4, plus some other sizes. HTH
DeleteI stopped in to return some things, said goodbye to the Light Nectar Stadium-Cloth Duffle Coat. They were pretty awesome about letting me return a metallic swing sweater that has been hanging in my closet forever (tags on, never worn). They were awesomely quick about all my returns and so nice. I'd also tried out the Emmet Ankle Boots and I returned those too. I wanted them to work, and they looked really cute, but they were a pain to put on and take off and I didn't love the color. I left with a flannel shirt and a navy blue Tippi cardigan.
ReplyDeleteCate - Did you review the Light Nectar Stadium-Cloth Duffle coat? I may have missed it. I'm curious why you didn't like it. The photo in the catalog definitely tempted me to try it. I don't own any J. Crew coats and haven't found the right one to try yet.
DeleteI don't think I reviewed it. It's very nice and I almost kept it. If I'd tried on one size smaller I might have liked it better. It seemed heavy and oversized and shapeless (maybe it is supposed to fit this way?). The only closure was a zipper, which I didn't care for, I prefer a belt or buttons instead of or in addition to a zipper. The pockets were big and useful. The inside looked very well done (I think the contrast piping inside was in seersucker, pretty cool!). I think maybe for me it was the wrong combination of style and color. I might have liked this coat in a darker color or I might have liked the Light Nectar in a more fitted style or one with a belt. I could have made this work, but it was full price and for that I would need to really love it. If it goes on sale, I might order it in the size smaller some day.
DeleteThe one in the catalog pic had buttons...a zipper is very disappointing.
DeleteThe Vancouver store still has 30% off their sale items and the section is now overwhelming. I was told the unsold stuff is going out soon.
ReplyDeleteRose...is it the usual suspects ? As in the stuff they have had for the past few weeks in the sale section or are there more additional items you have not seen before... any really good deals ??? ? thanks
DeleteI visited today; saved myself from having to return the Hothouse Floral blouse, had I ordered it online. Love the print, but the cut was disastrous on me (too short, awkward sleeve length, super boxy body w/tight shoulders/arms).
ReplyDeleteFound a store with the diagonal sailor long sleeve tee in my size-love! I am on the large end of Med (10), and it just fit, and was very cute. Tried the L, but it was meh. Also got the super cheap ($25 pre-30%) turquoise gingham-think it will be cute under my navy sweater.
OT, my blog was hacked but it's back up. I think.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was something I said. LOL
Deletenot unless you wanted low-cost refinancing
DeleteI bought a few things (mostly basics) but I wanted to pop in and say I think there's an in store promo coming up in November for a % off. my VPS mentioned it in email in passing but didn't elaborate because she was on her way out on vacation. Can anyone else check in with their VPS for more info? Don't want to bother mine too much while she's away.
ReplyDeleteOoh...I hope that Store Promo % off, is for full price items..because I want the Hothouse dress, that is sold out in my size online. :)
DeleteI am thinking about ordering the Polka Dot Sequin Tee...has anyone taller tried it? I am 5'9, so not sure if it will be too short?
ReplyDeleteAnyone heard anything more about when they might send back clearance merchandise. There is something I am considering but I wasn't sure whether to wait for another markdown or pull the trigger now.
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks since the launch of new stuff online, and there's only size 12 left in the Hothouse Print dress? I hope that is an error, because I was hoping to buy it. Praying that J.Crew will do another percent off on full priced items..
ReplyDeleteWow, that's crazy. Is it in stores?
DeleteJust got back from the Vancouver store...alot of old stuff in the sale section...marked down ( but not enough obviously) I tried on the fall floral bracelet...as I was trying to get it done up it fell on the floor and about 10 of the stones fell out ! I like J crew's jewellery but it is not well made...only on super sale ! I checked out the new arrivals...and left with nothing and I even have one 20% discount code to use. I will use it online before it expires or will post it for someone. Carolyn From Vancouver
ReplyDeleteI tried on that bracelet and found the clasp to be totally inadequate! I can see that $98 bracelet on the sidewalk immediately. It is a foldover clasp and does not "click" properly, sort of slippery metal used there. Colors are divine though!
DeleteI really really wish they would do the Majesty peacoat in a chocolate brown. Please?!
ReplyDeleteOT, but I have an Anthropolgie coupon for 15% off your total purchase online. I got it for my birthday so it expires at the end of this month. (I know). I really thought that I'd use it but what I wanted sold out. I was hoping to exchange it for a % off coupon from J. Crew (not outlet) if anyone wants to do a trade.
