  1. Personally, I really like the Factory roll out better then the retail site roll out. Although, Factory has a Tilda shirt version. It's Fall J. Crew! This was a spring item at retail. I know I can wear this in Los Angeles, but can't really see people who live in states with real weather wearing this for very long. Wow! That being said some of the sweaters and the Factory Peacoat are really tempting! Better prices then retail and cute!

  2. Well love or hate the reissues, looks like they are a money maker. The hothouse floral dress is sold out already. Had it in my cart this morning and was debating. Now it is gone.

  3. The fair isle socks I've been looking for all year have shown up at Factory online!! I love these gray socks but lost one of them. I could never find them again to buy another pair. Every now and then stalking an item pays off ;)

  6. Wow - what happened to the leather Gigi pants? They can't be sold out already? I looked at them this morning & they were is stock in all sizes. Now at noon (only about 3 hours later) they are completely sold out?

    The red puffer vest is also MIA now? Why do I have trouble believing that they're sold out?

  11. The jeweled raglan sweatshirt is also sold out. At $128 (for Canadians), it was a little too rich for me. Maybe I just need to learn how to bedazzle my own sweatshirt!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I wonder if these "sold out" items will pop back tomorrow when the new arrivals roll out to everybody.

    Louise, that jeweled raglan sweatshirt is still popping back on the retail sale site - so keep an eye out!

    ReplyDelete
  13. As far as stuff "selling out", the wine colored midrise toothpick cords, to my extreme dismay, sold out last week... only to magically reappear in all sizes yesterday morning. I think a) they don't have all of their stock initially when an item hits the website, and b) people buy alot of stuff to try on and return most of it! So, there's hope if you want something that sold out today.

  14. Kind of excited to see the hothouse floral pattern back, though nervous about how bright it will be

  15. Can anyone comment on the factory classic pea coat? How does it compare to the retail Majesty Pea Coat in terms of quality, softness and sizing? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Factory - 50 off everything in-store & online, incl new arrivals. Priced as marked. It's 2am pst and prices haven't flipped yet. Should be completed after 3am est.

    1. Beyond annoyed- I want to go to sleep!

    2. 4:30a est and prices still haven't flipped. Go figure.

      It occurred to me that the outlets may do that thing where they give you a coupon for the 50% off when you enter the store. That would make the outlet coupon non-applicable.

    3. Ugh, I want a price adjustment!

    5. So annoying. I placed an order yesterday with a 20% off coupon and the prices are still lower today and would be even lower with the coupon. Do you think they'd do a price adjustment over the phone?

      Delete
    6. Kelsey I did the same thing. I can't just re-order because the coupon is used now. I don't know if they will adjust the price, maybe as a one-time courtesy.

      Delete
    7. that's so ridiculous! why not offer the cheaper prices to the 'factory first' day?

      Delete
    8. Gabriela... seriously! I didn't order yesterday because I had a suspicion that today would be cheaper. What's the point of factory first then if you don't actually get any perks?!

      Delete
    9. Re-ordered a top today which will save me $15, even though I have to pay for shipping to Canada (which is $10). So annoying though because we Canadians don't get free shipping on returns and can't return in stores. Luckily I'm going to the states soon and can do the return there, but what a pain in the butt.

      Delete
    10. I am also annoyed, as I placed an order last night. I asked for a PA through email.

      Delete
    11. They did a price adjustment for me. They weren't sure at first they could stack my coupon on top of the sale, but after checking, she was able to. I was going to argue, since I know that a promo code is always good on whatever the marked price is. I know I can't use two promo codes, but if merchandise is at 50% off, I should be able to use my 20% coupon on top of that, at least historically. That is how it worked out in the end.

    12. Cate, thanks for posting. I'm going to try the same thing. You called customer service?

  17. Does anyone have a 20% code for $125 they are not using? If so, please email pihwoah@gmail.com. Thank you!

  19. Also, I swear that the Jeweled Raglan Sweatshirt was listed as $108 yesterday and now it's 'full price' is $98?
    There's also a few items that weren't showing up in yesterday's preview that are now available.

    1. you're right... it was... i happened to notice it because i tried the retail version and zoomed in on this factory version to see how similar it was and i thought that the over $100 price tag was a bit much

      Delete
  20. This morning, I definitely reordered the entire order I placed on Tuesday. It's just costing them money in the end to do these price changes constantly. I got free shipping on both orders since they were over $100, and they will have to restock everything I return.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm glad I waited to order...last rollout they dropped the prices after the factory "sneak peek." But it's a little ridiculous - doesn't seem like much incentive to be part of the "factory first" if they slash the prices even further when the actual rollout things. I'd bet they pulled a few items from being on sale...ie the leather Gigi pants. Hoping to get up to the Factory store in the next week or so but I may place an order since the prices + the 20% off code is a pretty good deal. I like the black polka dot skirt and the flannel pj pants are a steal...and will likely be stocking up on another white Tilda since this has been my go-to layering under sweaters. They added a pewter color of the square stone bracelet - I have this in the crystal and black and love it! Happy shopping :)

  24. Also, I called my local factory store to see if I could put a hold on the red quilted vest and - Surprise! - they're not getting them in until after the sale! So sneaky.

  26. Just curious as to where the 20% off codes are coming from. Were they via email or given out in store? I usually get all the emails but don't recall getting this one.

    2. Hi julie, I ordered one about a month ago in the blue color and returned it. I thought it was nice but the style is not great on me (was probably same style/cut as retail one) and I wasn't in love with the color. I also think the wool wasn't quite as nice as the retail cocoon coat wool. That said, it was a very nice coat, especially at the price I got it for.

      Delete
    3. Thank You Cate! Good to know! I think I might bite the bullet and try it since the price is really good!

    4. I have too many coats, otherwise I might have kept it! Hope you like it!

  28. Oh also were the Gigi leather pants real leather? Since they are gone I can't look it up and want to know if it worth hitting up my store. Thanks!

  29. @JessF, I received a postcard in one of my Factory orders for 20% off $125...I don't recall receiving an e-mail for the same promotion. There were a few general promo codes for 20% off but as stated above, they're all expired.

    1. Thanks! Last time I placed an order was with the previous rollout. Can't remember if I got one or not . Don't think so but will have to double check.

  31. Hothouse floral dress sold out AGAIN! And this time while in my cart. :( Customer service was very vague on the phone - she said it might be in stores but doesn't look like factory is getting more.. which is what the online rep said yesterday, and then voila, more today. Anyway, rant over - if anyone sees the hothouse floral sleeveless dress in stores, please let me know so I can track one down in a 0! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  32. You didn't hear it from me but...if you call factory customer service and tell them you had a 20% off code and it's not working, they'll give you 20% off

    ReplyDelete
  33. I ordered the hothouse floral dress just to push my cart over $100 this morning. I am sure it will be too short and high waisted, but thought I'd try it for the price. But I can't believe it is now totally sold out! That was around 7:30 and all sizes were in stock.

    I will let people know if the store near my house gets the dress, but usually it never gets any of the good stuff :(

    1. I was ready to purchase it too, with all sizes listed as in stock, and 10 minutes later it says it's totally sold out

  34. Ok, now I'm suspicious. The belted wool-cashmere coat, which was fully in stock this morning, is now totally sold out in both colors? I highly doubt that, J.Crew. I think they just pulled some items purposely when they realized they were selling too well at the deeply discounted prices. Just like the vests and the retro ponte dress magically disappeared for this promo... hmmmm....

    1. Yes, it does seem they are pulling items off the site. I had put four waffle henleys in my cart (different colors & sizes as I'm not sure what size I am at Factory). Five minutes later they were ALL sold out. I checked other colors and nope, EVERY color and size is supposedly sold out. This was very early this morning, too. Whatever. I really don't NEED anything. :)

  35. Arg! So mad! I ordered a flannel plaid shirt last night on promo for $48 (with a free shipping code) and now it's down to $34.50. If I call CS, what are my chances of getting a price adjustment?

    1. Do it. I emailed once regarding the Leather-Front Gigi pants, and after a response, I emailed right back about a PA for my order.

    2. Very good -- definitely give them a call! :)

    3. I placed an order last night and even with my 20 percent coupon the prices were still lower today. I called customer service and they did a price adjustment for me including the coupon- thankfully!

  41. Does anyone know what the make up is of the Factory coats? I.E. what % is wool, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Just got back from my Factory store. The 50% off includes clearance.

    It seemed as if they had pulled stuff off the floor for this. No vests, no houndstooth jackets, no Tildas etc. Even the jewelry ... only colored versions, no crystal/clear. Is the stuff really selling out or are they hiding it in back during these big % off promos?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I just got back from my factory store, and they had tildas and crystal jewelry out. I overheard some of the sales associates talking as I was trying things on, and apparently, they do have "exclusions" that they pull from the sales floor before the sale begins. They were surprised that a coat they were looking at hadn't been excluded from the sale.

  43. I called my factory store looking for the GiGi leather pants and the girl said she thought they might have been pulled off the floor. Seems shady to me that they would pull certain merchandise.

    1. Yeah. I don't know why they don't just exclude certain merchandise and leave it out. Or better yet - just include it in the sale!
