  1. I really like the look of the Honeycomb cashmere rollneck sweater
    Item AU217... But it's nearly $300! I think most of the other cashmere items top out at $200. I'm trying to be good and not buy, but I have my eye on that sweater as a Christmas splurge (if the price ever comes down)

    1. I really like it too but it’s $488 Cdn. That’s insane I thought the US price would’ve been higher, can’t believe the difference!

    2. oh I wish I hadn't gone to look at the honeycomb cashmere, what a gorgeous sweater. I'll be hoping it gets reduced after the holidays.
      I saw a few new items I hadn't noticed before...some new flannel button downs, a new striped fair isle sweater (but instead of 100% lambswool, a polyamide/lambswool blend, blah).

    3. That’s a beautiful sweater. Has anyone considered Alex Mill Argyle sweaters or vest. They look lovely and all merino. I’m tempted to try. I have bought their cotton pants and shorts this summer and the quality is good.

    4. Ugh I lost a whole response about Alex Mill stuff. I’ve love what I’ve kept, including three sweaters made of all natural fibers, but I do find the full price a little high. Love the Camil sweater but disappointed it’s got polyamide (sp) but at least no acrylic. The argyle sweaters look pretty.

      FWIW I tried the jumpsuit (found one color on sale at Nordstrom) and although I like the concept I felt like an automechanic. It did nothing for me.

    5. Ugh sorry your reply was lost. I agree their prices are a bit too high. All my Alex mill purchases from the summer were on sale. They recently sent me 15% off coupon hence I was tempted. I went to look for the coupon and it appears to be valid for 7 days only. So will wait for sale. Camil looks like a cozy sweater. Their fair isle cardigan is almost $200 and has poly in it (eye roll)

    6. I checked the fair isle last night and didn’t see poly! I’ll check again. The colors are pretty.
      All my items were purchased on sale too.

    7. Maybe I’m looking at a different cardigan but the red fair isle cardi says 100 percent merino wool and $145.

    8. Oh, I see, you’re looking at the tan one. $175 and a questionable blend of materials. 30% Merino wool, 38% Nylon, 19% Acrylic, 13% Mohair.

    9. Yeah that’s the one. The red is very nice but too festive for my liking.

  2. I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but yesterday I received a JC package that had a post card sized coupon that says, "$10 off your next purchase." It is valid through January 1, 2021. The front of the card says, "Delivering Comfort & Joy." Be sure to check your packages. I almost missed it because it was in one of those shipping bags.

    1. @MmeJacqueline, thank you for posting. I save the bags so perhaps there’s one or two skirting in them. I also received an order from Madewell today. Inside was a card that said “Surprise” and to go to madewell.com/surprise. There was $25.00 off on $150.00 or more.

  3. Received the crepe-soled lace up boots in plaid. They are gorgeous but will definitely take some wearing in, they cut in above the ankle. I got them for 50% off but am still WFH and will be for the unseeable future. Definitely a don’t-need but love-them situation.
