I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the new roll out. If I were blindfolded, I would surely have named several items as Factory based on how thin the fabrics were. Also, sizing is so inconsistent. I had to size down to a small in the merino-linen v sweater and then when I tried on an 8 in the ruffle top in clip dot, it felt tight and I felt crazy. Regardless, I wound up heading to the register with two sale items. I'm also a teacher and have been playing the 'teacher discount' game for a while. I'm quite adept and know the rules by heart. So when I let the associate know I was a teacher, and she explained that she could not add the teacher discount on top of a 'whole store' promo, I replied with "Right. On full priced items. However, you've always added it to my sale items." She stuck to her story. No additional discount. I remarked, "Okay, so this is a new rule." She explained that it had always been the case when there is a whole store promo...even for sale items. Again, I felt absolutely crazy. If that's how you're gonna play it, J. Crew, that's fine. But tell me you've decided to change the policy. Don't tell me that years of sale purchases with the additional teacher discount never happened to me. Cuz they did. And I don't like being lied to. This was a reputable store manager, too. Just when I thought I could confidently ask for the additional discount without getting side-eyed....

Ordered a size up as in the past Marties are super tight in my regular size and the majority of reviews indicate to size up. Had them on last night just around the houses for like two hours and they have grown exponentially around my waist!!! Feel like I need to reorder in my regular size. If they had belt loops it would be very helpful! Or maybe I should seriously just give up on Marties. I am eyeing up some pants at Old Navy and may give them a try instead. I can get two pairs for the sale price of Marties.

It goes well with olive pants, any color denim, shorts and skirts. This NB colorway is very neutral and hence versatile. I wear mine so much that it's looking very dingy and I may even order another pair. It's causal and chic with any outfit. I wear mine when I teach and my students love them.

The second time I wore them I noticed a pull in the fabric mid calf; so I emailed customer service with a picture and told them how disappointed with the quality and it is not what I expected for $100 pants. They immediately got back to me offered a replacement with over night shipping for free and a shipping label to return the damaged pants. Maybe they will start listening to customer complaints about quality if they spend too much money shipping out replacement pairs!meggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256092462871103473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-50673511228264655682017-03-22T16:06:21.355-04:002017-03-22T16:06:21.355-04:00OT-anyone who has the white and gold JC New Balanc...OT-anyone who has the white and gold JC New Balance: do you find yourself wearing them often?

That is so disappointing. @Jess F The fit for the marties is very odd. For me sizing up has resulted in the pant stretching over time to the point where I should have ordered my normal size despite the tight fit at first. So frustrating. And I really love the silhouette on me; it really flatters my petite frame. I just wish there weren't all of these issues. It sucks to love something the first 2 wears only to be utterly disappointed after washing. I'm not rough on my clothes at all - my work clothes are scrubs so literally I'm just around the house or running errands in my clothing. They should last more than a wash 😔Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03640041982516462918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-59555212418027671742017-03-22T13:23:30.356-04:002017-03-22T13:23:30.356-04:00I'm hoping I just received a defective pair.
