They were having a most excellent sale also. The t-shirts were some of the softest jersey fabrics ever. I did not try the jeans as j. crew jeans do not usually fit me correctly and I didn't want my feelings hurt that night. <BR/><BR/>If you want a light weight neck scarf thingy so you can pretend you are a cast member of "Rent", Madewell is the place to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83483343908413312162008-07-30T17:27:00.000-04:002008-07-30T17:27:00.000-04:00Sorry, but I'm not after "a skateboarding Audrey H...Sorry, but I'm not after "a skateboarding Audrey Hepburn in art school"<BR/><BR/>At 30, I realize I'm not the target demographic for Madewell, but ick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63580287186712964872008-07-30T11:23:00.000-04:002008-07-30T11:23:00.000-04:00I wish there was one I could go to in the Bay Area...I wish there was one I could go to in the Bay Area to check it out!

Not for the price (since items are not significantly below JCrew's), but for the uniqueness of the items. My beef with JCrew is that if you live & work in Manhattan, you will see people wearing your JCrew clothes every 2 blocks. All the Madewell clothes I bought always elicited favorable comments & where did you buy that? The quality is similar to JCrew including the fabrics & the details (blouses & jackets). Their 100% leather goods are good buys too, about 60% the price of JCrew. In their recent sale, I ordered several items I saw on the website by phone on a Friday & I got the packages by Wednesday morning. I can't wait for their ecommerce site. I will definitely buy lots more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1412629345492764532008-07-30T08:57:00.000-04:002008-07-30T08:57:00.000-04:00I was in a J Crew last week and saw a college girl...I was in a J Crew last week and saw a college girl in with her mom. They were both trying but looked a little lost and confused. I think the brand has changed without them knowing and is a bit too upscale for both. It's clear that they are overhauling the brand to attract the Saks set. And I think the Madewell brand is for the younger kids that remember the old catalogues with the same recycled basics. I haven't seen any Madewell items in person or online but I have a feeling I will prefer J Crew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26452230495215052742008-07-30T07:19:00.000-04:002008-07-30T07:19:00.000-04:00Alexis: I agree with you in that I would rather bu...Alexis: I agree with you in that I would rather buy J.Crew on sale than shop at Madewell. From the Madewell prices I have seen online, they really don't appear to be that much less expensive than J.Crew, anyways...I would rather wear J.Crew. I'm not sure that Madewell will have alot that is "age appropriate" for me, either...it seems to be really geared for a younger market. All in all, I won't say that I wouldn't ever wear Madewell...I will need to see the clothing firsthand before making a decision...I hope they have some really great pieces that will work for me. :)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.com
