This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent"
posts), where we can share our finds from other
retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew
(like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann
Taylor, and the like.)If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.
Has anyone tried Everlane's sweatshirt? Either for women or men. I am looking for that perfect, slightly slouchy sweatshirt, and I'm wondering if anyone can speak to the fit and quality.
ReplyDeleteI have the women's one in gunmetal. It is the nicest long sleeve t-shirt I have every owned. I measure 37-29-41, and I got a size small to have a fitted t-shirt. If I was into the slouchy thing, I would have gotten a medium or large. But it's so, so soft and washes beautifully. The color goes with everything.
DeleteI also bought their holiday cashmere stole, which is basically the best thing ever.
Oh, is it more like a t-shirt? Darn. I didn't want full on sweatshirt material, but I did want something in between and slightly thicker.
DeleteNo, it's definitely thicker than a normal t-shirt. It's got a nice in between sort of heft.
DeleteDoes anyone know what additional % off sale Banana Republic is offering in stores? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks they have been handing out coupons for 40% off of one full price item and 25% off of all sale merchandise on every Wednesday in January. It might be worth stopping in and seeing if you could pick up a coupon to use tomorrow!
DeleteI got an email today that says what Alison said. 40% off 2 full priced items. 25% off already reduced merch.
DeleteOr 30% off your purchase online.
Thanks! I got the email too after I posted. I was hoping that the 40% off sale in stores was still going, but I managed to catch my item online as a popback this morning anyway.
DeleteI've noticed BR updates their online stock throughout the day now instead of at midnight.
Could you suggest other retailers where I can find men's shirts with a similar fit to J Crew?
ReplyDeleteI have found that a lot of the offerings now are too similar to the ones they have offered in the past, so I am trying to broaden my horizons.
My husband buys a lot of his dress shirts from JCrew and the BR outlet (he likes the slim fit from the outlet).
DeleteI would try Brooks Brothers extra trim fit.
DeleteI should add--my husband wears the slim fits, and they hold up very well, and the non-iron stuff they use is amazing. They even have the little crease down the side. Their patterns do run a bit conservative, but nice.
DeleteMy fiancé likes Nordstrom trim fit dress shirts, as well as Charles Tyrwhitt and Thomas Pink's slim cut offerings. Weve found the quality on all of the above to be excellent
DeleteCheers. Thanks for your ideas.
DeleteBanana Republic - Wed promo - 40% off two full price items & 25% off sale items in-store. 30% off with BRSAVE30. Picks in this post.
ReplyDeleteI've fallen into the sak. Saks Off Fifth, that is. I've been seeing them on the side for some beautiful, excellent quality, very high-end looking cashmere non-sweater pieces. Sorry J. Crew dahh-ling, Lol.
ReplyDeleteHi, all. Big week in Boden land.
ReplyDeleteNew spring arrivals debuted on Monday. I did a post on that here. Eventually I will do a "picks" post, but that may take a little while.
Boden also did something that I have never seen them do before, which is a very early stackable promo. Right now a few items (around 15 or so) are not only 20% off, but if you use the 15% coupon in the sidebar of my blog, you will receive the additional 15% off, making those sale items around 32% off. From what my affiliate manager tells me, this stackable promo will be available with all these weekly sales, so that is good news for any of you who miss when stackable promos were a regular part of Boden sale shopping. :)
I did a picks post from that, since there was a lot less to pick from.

ReplyDeleteI went to Madewell last week and posted a few reviews of new items. Check it out here.
ReplyDeleteI received the chevron stripe tank from Banana Republic yesterday. Love. It's a pop over style, buttons part way down. I like the little gold buttons. It's a light silk, great for layering under a jacket or cardigan now and will be perfect alone in the summer. It runs a little big. I'm wearing today with a highwaisted pencil skirt and it looks great. I got the black, it comes in 2 other colorways. Great piece at 30% off.
ReplyDeleteAre there any Talbots codes out there?
ReplyDeleteI wish there were--I have $125 in gift certificates for Talbots.
DeleteI think the salel prices are amazing I haven't needed or wanted to coupon code with a 40 percent off in stores plus in additional 5 percent off with your Talbots charge. when I order online I always get free shipping with my black charger card. No minimum.
DeleteWent tonight. Prices slashed further and now extra 50% off tag price and additional 5% with Talbots charge. Walked out with a gorgeous printed cashmere cardigan and long sleeve tee and a velvet/red rose clutch.
DeleteThe Saks semi-annual consolidation sale in NY starts on Friday. Generally the high-end brands (Armani,Akris, Marni, Valentino....) are up to 70% off. I've only been to the sale at the Flagship in NY, but I believe the sale also runs in some of their other major markets (LA..)
ReplyDeleteNM Last Call is having a sale that runs thru Monday. Cold weather items including cashmere are 60% off today and tomorrow, 50% off Fri. - Mon. Most FP items appeared to be 30% off. I've had good luck, but their cashmere quality varies from season to season. For those with beach holidays coming up, there are some Jack Rogers sandals marked down to $70.

ReplyDeleteIf you missed out on some of the J Crew shirts this winter, Jack Willis is having a great sale on the some J Crew look-a-likes. I have one of their shirts and love it.
