J.Crew's Brrr Event: 25% Off Winter Favorites

"Thanks!" to many of you, who shared the following news/ email from J.Crew with us.

J.Crew is offering customers a special treat: 25% off winter favorites. To take advantage of this offer online, use promo code WINTER. This offer expires November 24, 2013. The fine print includes:
*Offer valid on the purchase of Winter Favorites styles at jcrew.com from November 19, 2013, 12:01am through November 24, 2013, 11:59pm ET. Discount valid on styles found on the Winter Favorites page only. Offer not valid in J.Crew stores, J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. Offer not valid on third-party branded merchandise, babies' merchandise or Wallace & Barnes merchandise. To redeem, enter code WINTER in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promo code per order. Valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.
This is an okay promotion. Not as good as the universal 25% off offers we have seen lately.

What kind of promotion do we expect to see post-Thanksgiving? I personally don't know. They usually were the worst- offering maybe a percentage off a category like sweaters. However, we have seen J.Crew pull out some amazing promotions in the past year, so they might really surprise us this time!

Random side note: Apologies for not keeping up with the blog too well. My household came down with a cold bug and its making the rounds. Ugh.

Will you be taking advantage of this offer? If so, please share! :)

    i kinda don't understand the whole "winter favorites" thing... i mean, should ALL sweaters be 25% off? eh... maybe i'm bitter because the sweater i want for myself and the cords i want for my boyfriend are NOT included in the 25% off sale... and i still haven't spent my rewards card yet!!! :/

      I say give it a week or two... I am guessing we will be having another 25% off across the entire website soon.

    Meh. Brrr indeed considering all the three-quarter length sweaters, ankle-length pants, and super thin button downs that are included. Pass for me.

    I checked the JCA archives and this looks like what we had for past Thanksgiving sales:

    2012 - 25/30% for cardmembers
    2011 - 25%
    2010 - 25%
    2009 - 20% off sale (that was it?)
    2008 - tiered promo 20/25/30

    I agree with Rose, I think there will be another 25% sitewide soon.

      silver lining, thanks for the awesome historical perspective! Can we hope for 25/30 sitewide again?

      Here's hoping!

      Are we due for some Factory new arrivals? Seems like it has been a while.

      Good record keeping, Silver_Lining! A 30% cardmember would be very nice.

      Now that they have 25% off practically every other week, I'm hoping they'll do something bigger for Thanksgiving

    One thing to note about this sale: it includes the Ludlow topcoats and blazers. Usually the sitewide 20-30% offs exclude all Ludlow items including these. I'm taking advantage of it to pick up a topcoat.

    was hoping the aran crafts turtleneck would be included, but alas...

    have a review of the excursion vest in stripe and the majesty peacoat here for anyone who may be considering these items.

    I hope you feel better soon!

    I want the wintress puffer because I'm looking for a good puffer for the cold winters we have here, but I'm holding out hope that there will be more than a 25% off sale soon. It probably won't happen, but hey, who knows.

    Just got the Factory Early Access email. Has 40% off New Arrivals and Free Shipping. I noticed though, that many of the new items feel....springy? Its almost like a half resort rollout. Resort usually comes right after Christmas, but there are some items that just don't feel holiday to me. Anyone else done any browsing?

    fyi, If you're ordering from Early Access, the EARLYBIRD extra 10-20% off still works!
