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 HOLIDAY sale, or to see some new WINTER 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!

      Is the chambray polka dot shirt on sale? If it was on sale online but is no longer available and it's full price at stores, will they honor the online sale price?

      Eliza Lewis - The chambray polka dot shirt was not on sale as of 1/17 in-store. If you go to the store, ask them to call in to verify the online sale price of $59.99.

The much talked about skunk pants will not be made but he/she will appear in other iterations in the collection. Just saying. I also hoped to see some nice dresses and reasonable priced skirts.

      It's an outlet store. They usually have a decent selection out there. However, with the extra % sale in regular stores, I would not recommend shopping at outlet since it's not so worth it with the lower quality merchandises.

    2. wellfedfredJanuary 18, 2013 at 12:11 PM

      hi, it's an outlet store, Tanger Riverhead is an outlet-only mall. The JC store is very variable. I was there last weekend, and there was some new stuff for women, Crewcuts section was extremely sparse, and sale section had been pre-shopped by Visigoths. SAs said they expected more new merch this week, it could be worth a look. The Saks outlet is on its last legs, the Ralph Lauren outlet is always worth a look, I've gotten some astounding buys some days and some days I've gone home empty-handed.

      I've tried them out of curiosity. I'm a 29/30 lately (30 in J. Crew, 29 in AG). I've tried the Goldsign Jenny jeans (Debut Wash) in 29 and 30. The 31 was backordered and has not arrived. No way to the 29s. I could probably go out in public in the 30s but the "hint of stretch" is pretty much non-existent and they were not comfortable in the knee region. They are too tight. The 31s will probably fit okay but I would have to love these jeans an awful lot to keep them at this price, and I don't see that happening. I tried the 29s in the Aphrodite wash a while ago and they were too tight too. I will say that I think they run a bit small.

An SA once told me they looked they fabulous but she could tell I "wasn't ready for them" - she was totally right. I just wasn't comfortable with the look but I'm more confident now - got my first pair in flame last week and love them! Can't wait for the green to arrive.

    I wish I could visit a store, but, alas, none are near me. I've been putting the stovepipe trouser in and out of my shopping cart for weeks. But even at the amazing $35, I don't want to be stuck with something unwearable. The only pant I repeatedly buy from jcrew is the cafe Capri. I online chatted today w jcrew and was initially told that the stovepipe would be roomier in the hip and thigh. However, after getting the measurements of the stovepipe in two sizes, I asked for cafe measurements in my tried-and-true size to really judge how they'd do. Thigh measurement was an inch smaller on the stovepipe! What to believe? Ladies, how would you compare cafe capri to stovepipe? I wear size 2 in cafe, 00 in skirts.... My thighs are what I need to fit, hips and waist never an issue. Feeling stovepipe cut might not work.

    1. cateJanuary 18, 2013 at 3:23 PM

      Bridgetabcs, I thought the Stovepipe trousers were less forgiving in the thighs. I did not like them on me in the thigh and rear. The Cafe Capris are much more flattering on me and IMO are more forgiving in those areas. I can believe the Stovepipes measure smaller in the thigh. All that said, I'm a bigger size than you and I may have problems with fit that you wouldn't have.

    2. ladybug007January 18, 2013 at 3:24 PM

      i wear 0 in cafe capris and 00/0 in no.2 pencil skirt. I got stovepipe in 2P and it's perefect fit for me. I have to say 2P, the hip area is not tight but there is no room left. I do think the hip area runs on the smaller side than cafe capris. HTH.
      I do love them! FYI- 2P measurements = to 0R. I am only 5'3" so petite length works perfect for me.

      Delete
    3. suisuiJanuary 18, 2013 at 4:05 PM

      just to add my two cents. I loved these and ordered them in every color. I got these in 00 which is what I wear in the cafe capris, but I found that the stovepipes fit my thighs just right without showing any iffy contours whereas the cafe capris are slightly roomier in the thighs. for hips I would say the stovepipes fit me much better, the fit is more flattering while the cafe capris my friend commented were borderline mom pants in the hip area even though they're both favorite fit I believe. so if you do 2 in the cafe and are worried about how the thighs may fit, you might want to size up.

      Side note for the petite: strange, but for me, i'm 5'3 and so i ordered the petite 0 for one color and the thighs were tighter than they are for the 00 and so I had ugly lines on the back.

      Delete
    4. BeedeeJanuary 19, 2013 at 9:23 AM

      Thanks so much for the advice! It's the price that keeps me revisiting the stovepipe, but it's more and more clear that these will likely not work for me. Suisui, I agree, it sounds like sizing up again would probably help in the thigh, but I already have to alter my 2 cafe capris in the waist and hip. Another size could warrant deconstructing these pants!. Not something I want to tackle. Sounds like I need to road trip and try on every style JC offers so final sale isn't so scary. Drat final sale!!! Thank you JCAs!

    5. fideleJanuary 19, 2013 at 10:01 AM

      I got the stovepipes in a 2. I have worn a 0 in cafe capris, but a 2 in Minnies, since I don't like 'em tight. Both stovepipes fit fine, but my second pair, in "saddle" (camel), was smaller in the waist and thighs than the black pair. Certainly a bargain, and nicely made; though they're not lined, the wool isn't itchy.

    I just got my box from the most recent sale so a couple of quick reviews if anyone is interested. Cashmere colorblock waffle sweater- absolute love love love! Soft, cozy, well cut if slightly slouchy and (big plus for me!) length and sleeves are decent not short. A perfect neutral. Size down for a more fitted look. Now stalking the red/navy color lol.
    Cashmere boatneck in heather cabernet- I will be buying many more of this style, its that flattering. Love how the neck sits slightly 'up'. Super soft and beautifully cut. I sized down one size.
    Perfect shirt in blackwatch- my best buy of the season, this I am wearing with everything! just LOVE!! Thanks to whoever previously advised to size up one if not two sizes, that advice was spot on. I am usually a 0, in this I took a 4. Go figure J.crew. The only thing I'd change is I may change the cheap white buttons for some more elegant. Soft, great length, great dressed up or casual.
    Double cloth greatcoat in camel- I actually really liked this. True to size although if you are bigger up top then you may want to size up. Hit me right above my knees and I am 5"8. Fabric is a little synthetic looking. Liked the cut. Liked the gold buttons actually. Color is a little 'dirtier' than is portrayed online if that makes sense.
    I have the collecting colorblock cashmere sweater in navy/snow/caramel on the way too so will see how that goes but I've been coveting it since it first appeared so fingers crossed.

      Wow...this article addresses her teeth...she wears dentures and admits it !!! She had a illness that caused her teeth to malform. I never knew this about her...and as a dental professional I NEVER thought she had dentures in this day and age. I bet she has implant supported dentures. Sorry to carry on about her appearence...but she is the face of J Crew. But I am always going to be looking at her teeth from now on . I do think it is brave of her to be open about this condition she had/has.

I was in my local store and wanted a size they didn't have in a sale item; the SA found it in another store, but instead purchased it through WWFIFY for the other store to fulfill (not sure why, unless they are trying to get away from stores having your CC info over the phone).

      That's what I have been told at my B&M. They apparently cannot confirm sale prices if the item is sold out. For my store to price match with the website, they need to see the exact style and color online.

      All this wouldn't be necessary if they'd just have consistent pricing.

    2. UnknownJanuary 20, 2013 at 1:47 AM

      D*ska - It used to be that once an item sold out, the staff couldn't see the sale price. This goes for b&m & red phone staff. From my understanding, the b&ms only see what we see online. However, now the red phone staff can see the most recent price and that includes sales prices. I had a mgr call in for me just the other day. HTH

      If they call CS, the store can learn the "last selling price" even if item is no longer available on line. I have asked them to check numerous times. Yesterday I saw a purse I want and I know the "last selling price" but the purse scanned at full price and sometimes I am too tired of it all to ask them to call (which I ask a lot because their store seems further behind on pricing than most......

I ended up returning the items and I got $201 CAD back, meaning I lost $14 just for the transaction!! Is this a VISA issue or a JC issue? In any case, I'm not impressed (sorry to complain).

    Was visiting relatives and decided to stop by their area store. Overheard an agitated customer. Seemed like she shops there a lot, but she was upset because the SAs would not give her a price match for an item that was ringing up higher in store than online. Looks like they would price match only if they could give her 30%, not the 50% they were honoring in store. She walked out empty handed and didn't look happy. Not sure why they were ok honoring the price but not the % off especially since the item was in store and the store was having 50off. Shady practices if you ask me. Having inconsistencies in pricing just does not create consumer confidence in the brand. Not sure where they're heading with that strategy. Didn't see anything I had to have instore, but enjoyed time with the relatives.

      Just saw them yesterday, still full price in store. They are willing to match the online sale price, but only for the online sale discount of 30%. meanwhile sale in store is up to 50% off.

    Sorry if this has already been asked. Does anyone know how long the sale will run in stores? I was thinking abut going tomorrow to see if there are any goodies left.
