Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SALE, or to see some NEW 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!

    1. I did visit to do my returns. Entire store was 30% off, 40% off sale items and I got handed an in store only $20 off $100 through July 4th. In addition, I did try on the Embroided Herringbone Tee (C6180), the XS was a good fit which is my normal size in boxy tees. I really liked it but the weird wide top by the arms stopped me from purchasing. It would definitely look great with jeans and I was thinking the cargo skirt in Navy but could not get past the sleeve thing. Next up while I was in the dressing room was the palm tree dropped waist dress, I purchased this online last weekend. I tried it on in my usual dress size 4 and it was good, I am hoping that the petite 6 will be a slightly better fit for me at 5'1". I can see getting lot of wear out of it and even at my age, I did not think too young looking. Madewell was having 50% off sale items but nothing I wanted.

    2. wow, so crazy how some stores have different deals than others! I drove 60 miles hoping to try on the stripe cap sleeve dress... they had it only in the mauve, not the black which I wanted. Store was only having 25% off certain things like sweaters. Sale items were 40% off but the starting prices were higher than online... so frustrating. At least I got to try a few things IRL and know what sizes to order online.

    3. Julie Taylor - The prices were marked higher in my store, too, but ringing up as the online price. The stores are still bad about ticketing the items with the most current price.

    4. I was given that coupon too. I thought it was especially nice that it doesn't expire until July 4th.

      I wanted the herringbone tee too until I tried it on. They did some strange things with the shapes of the tees this rollout. Neck openings too scooped or shirts too wide or too short etc.

  3. Have not been into a regular JC since the Discountgate episodes of 3 weeks ago. Still getting emails regarding this from JC central and from local managers. Policy still seems inconsistent. Apparently retail JCs here will no longer stack the educator discount with ANY other promo, including the extra % off sale. However the Factory stores are blithely carrying on, offering it on everything and promoting it verbally to everyone as they arrive. Guess where I'll be shopping? Have not even been into a retail location since, it was handled so poorly by the SAs - you really do not want to make your customer feel embarrassed or put down, Mickey. Just a thought. Wondering if any JCAs in the US have run into this...

    1. Hi....I am still in a bad mood about not being able to return a $50 pair of jeans that did not fit. ( even though I had tried them on before)
