Final sale items cannot be returned or exchanged.J.Crew has a nice update to their Sale (click here to shop online) section online this morning. Lots of merchandise (1500+ for Women and 650+ for Men). There are quite a few new items that made it to sale too.
I am happy to see this promotion back. I am also pleased to see that brick & mortar stores will still be offering the same 40% off sale promotion. (I was wondering if they would reduce it to 30% in stores too.)
However, things are just not moving as quickly as they should with an additional percent off sale. J.Crew needs to move more items in the 50% off section in order to move merchandise lounging around on sale. At this point, last year's swimsuits have come full circle in the sale section (as in, in-season again!).
Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? If so, please share!
I did bite on some non final sales items: pumps (double strap ones) and a lace dress and the line green dress....my local BM had 40% off yesterday so am guessing they all go to 30% today?
ReplyDeletein the fine print above, it looks like stores are sticking with 40% off sale through the weekend.
DeleteMy store gave me 50% off without me asking...
Deletewhoa, that is generous. jealous!
DeleteDoes anyone know about a facebook promo that might be going on today for JCrew? I am not on facebook.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Doodle Daschund - I'm not seeing a FB promo on J Crew or J Crew Factory page at the moment.
DeleteI have it. I had to "redeem" it and then they sent me an email, but try the code FACEBOOK25.
DeleteThank you for the code.
DeleteIt just came up on my FB feed. In order for the code to work, I had to click through the link to the JC website from FB. I bit on the Matelasse dress, which has been fully stocked from yesterday, with the 25% off, plus some additional 30% non-final sale swimwear. Nice code.
DeleteHow long is the facebook promo good for?
Deleteclotted creame: the facebook code is good until 4.14.14.
DeleteThanks so much, Melissa!
DeleteHas anyone seen the Nora perforated flats in 8.5 in gold or black in stores? In my store they were $99 with 40% off - sadly they didn't have my size. I don't know why they're full price online.
ReplyDeleteLiz, if you are in a store and they don't have your size, my experience has always been that ha SA will call and order your size online, will tell the online rep the instore price, and that price will be honored. You may or may not have to pay shipping; usually they will waive it, but I've heard that sometimes they don't.
DeleteLiz - I saw the gold perforated Noras yesterday. Email me for the info. Yes, size 8.5.
DeleteLiz, my email is gigiofca at gmail
DeleteThe Collection cashmere stained-glass sweater, item 08152, is now $167.99.99 after the 30% off. I'm wondering if I should wait. It used to be $319.99 but the price dropped to $239.99 one or two weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteNothing for me - I still find the sale section to be totally unfriendly to navigate. In case you're reading, JC:
ReplyDelete1. Every time I advance to the next page, the items load in the "middle" so I have to scroll back up to the top to see all of the items on a particular page. After doing this once or twice, I just give up.
2. If I'm in a particular section (like "girls"), under Category should show the items for girls, not everything. Every time I'm in the crewcuts section and want to drill down into a category, I end up in the women's section because that's the first one that pops up. I already chose the section I wanted - just give me the items for that section.
3. If I look at an item and then click "Return to Sale", it always takes me back to the top of the page, forcing me to scroll back to where I was.
Feel free to add any more, JCA's... since we're the ones doing the user testing! ; )
I HATE that it navigates to the middle when opening up the next page of sale. That is so annoying. I only use the Quick Look option anymore when perusing the sale section. It's tedious to have to page back & forth otherwise.
DeleteAdd me to the list of ppl who loathe the way the pages load.... Ugh.
DeleteBit the bullet on the side panel merino v-neck in black - extra 50% brought it down to $28 or so. Also ordered a pair of Andies in the dark grey - they came to $49 with the 30% off.
ReplyDeleteI posted on Instagram earlier - the Clare cardigan over on the Factory site is on sale for $20 for all colors. I have never seen it that low without some kind of additional promo before!
Hooded basket-weave jacket item 09619
ReplyDeleteit says oversized fit. i'm usually a size 4 and sometimes go either way with XS/S. any suggestions on sizing for this?
Miss JR - IMO, go for XS in it. I wear 4 or 6 and the S felt big. Click here for the review. I would get the XS or S. However, I don't have a need for thick layers, so the slightly tighter sleeves of the XS would be fine for me. Something to keep in mind. HTH :)
DeleteI'm the same size (classic schoolboy size 2, but otherwise usually a 4) and have it in a small. I don't think I could have sized down - shoulders would be too tight. Gigi reviewed it.
Deleteinjanuity - Ford! We're posting at the same time ;)
DeleteHi g! Lol. I agree with you that this is a good playground jacket. Super casual. Big pockets - perfect for snacks and cell phone. The color of mine is a lot more saturated than the one you reviewed. JCrew is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. ;)
DeleteI'm a S, sz. 4 in JC tops for the most part and I got the Hooded Basket Weave jacket in sz. S and think it fits pretty good. *Maybe* I could've gone w/a sz. XS, but where I live, I'd mostly be layering under that jacket, so sz. S works for me. It's super cute!
DeleteThanks for the mention, Alexis :)
ReplyDeleteI ordered the drapey crepe tank (review) & glad I acted quickly because the ivory is sold out in my size.
The schoolboy blazer in black & in navy are crazy good bargains. $128 + 30%. I have size 8P. Review here of the grey flannel color in sz 6 & measurements.
A lil' crazier is the classic navy schoolboy, which is $99.99 + 30% off. I have 6P in that.
I'll be creating a new markdown list later. In the meantime, there are many links to reviews in my last Sale Irl Pic Guide.
Thanks for posting this. I think I'll get mama ford the classic!
DeleteI would also like to thank you for posting this, Gigi! This seems like the perfect time to get a schoolboy, and just in time for my birthday! I ordered petite sizes in the classic navy, regular navy, and black, and am waiting excitedly for them to arrive! :)
DeleteYay they did a price adjustment for me for the classic navy schoolboy I got a couple days ago!
ReplyDeleteI've got a question about the t-shirts if someone could help me I'd really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple plain t shirts from J Crew that I absolutely love. They aren't the "vintage" style tee (which is much stretchier), they're stiffer and don't stretch out as much, and kind of have a smooth surface if that makes any sense. Does anyone know what style t shirt this is? I don't know if it's a tissue tee, and it doesn't say on the shirt what style it is.
Thanks in advance for anyone that helps!
Greetings Grace - You may be talking about JC's "Perfect Fit" knits. I have several of these items in various styles. I love the Ballet Button Tee (so flattering) and the Mixed Tape Cardigan which I can't wait to wear this summer. I used the crewneck tees as layers under the oversize Boyfriend Sweaters this winter. These tees are definitely more structured than the vintage cotton tees, tissue tees, or linen tees. Also, JC is not kidding with the "slim fit" description. I am usually a size Small / 4 (sometimes a 2) in JC tops, and I definitely size up to a Medium in these. I think these are well-made basics, and like the Tippis and Painter Tees, JC seems to come out with some new colors each season. Jennifer
DeleteGrace Chen, you may be able to search for an style # on the tag with the washing instructions. Then enter that five digit # on the jcrew site to search and identify it. If that doesn't work google search: jcrew 12345 for example and it will usually come up with a link and description. That way you will know exactly what style you like and can go on the hunt for more! HTH

DeleteThanks JenniferD and Shopping Celle! I love wearing these tees for absolutely everything because I think they'e the perfect basic for me and definitely want more colors as spring and summer roll in. I'll also take a look at the style #, didn't know you could do that! :)
DeleteI love the Perfect-fit tees, too, especially
DeletePerfect-fit scoopneck tee which is no longer for sale. I think I literally have twenty of these, maybe more. They hold their shape and wash/dry really well. The ballet button tee is kind of like the scoopneck but I prefer the scoopneck -- I think the fabric is thicker.
So I looked up the style number (71383) and turns out its the J Crew Factory Layering Tee, and out of stock :( Do any of you know what the regular J Crew equivalent of this is?
DeleteHi Grace - it looks a lot like the retail perfect-fit tee to me. Gigi reviewed the factory tee here so other JCA's may want to weigh in.
DeleteThanks silver_lining for your help! I'll definitely look into the perfect fit tee.
DeleteI stocked up on andie chinos!! I've been waiting for a promo like this where I could get them ~50% off. Also got the drapey crepe tank, thanks for the review gigi.
ReplyDeleteI should've posted this in reviews, but during the last promotion I got the aggie ankle boots (item 04567) and I love them. They are really comfy and cute and are under $100 with the promo! I'm having a hard time resisting ordering them in chester brown, too.
I've been interested to try a pair of the andies. I'm curious about sizing in the andie -- do you take the same size in the andie as the campbell and/or cafe capri? TIA
DeleteThe Andie chinos are probably TTS but they have no stretch and I found that the fit kind of varied pair to pair in the same size. I'd buy same size as Campbell but a size bigger than my Cafe Capri size. If anything I think they run a smidge small, but that may just be the slimmer cut/no stretch.
DeleteI agree with Cate,they run a bit small prbably due to that they have not stretch.
DeleteThey vary even in the same size when i tried them on in different stores.
yes they are definitely a slim fit, but I didn't feel the need to go up a size. If you're in between then you may want to try the larger size.
DeleteThanks Ladies!
DeleteI couldn't resist the non-final sale either! Ordered waaayyyy too much, but with free shipping ($5 to return), I'm trying styles that I hope will keep getting marked down a bit for ordering later. That way, even on final sale, I'll know my size! Things are staying in sale section for so long, and I live so far from a store, that this will be my "dressing room at home" box! I've even ordered multiple sizes of things. Does anyone else do this?
ReplyDeleteBridgetabcs, that's my modus operandi and a lot of JCAs do just that too. I have a store nearby but it's small and rarely had the pieces that I'm looking for.

ReplyDeleteI have a few more reviews of some new arrivals on my blog:
ReplyDelete-silk chiffon sweet meadows dress
-boyfriend tee
-workshirt in pink plaid
Also a few sale reviews: carrie sandal,camille dress.
Check it out here.
Does anyone have the collection t-shirt with the jewels all over it? It comes in navy and white...I'm wondering how much of a pain it is to launder etc. I keep telling myself I don't need it, but I can't quit thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteI don't have it, but the website says "hand wash". I've seen a few in the stores with a couple of the jewels already becoming unraveled.
DeleteHollDoll129 - In case you didn't see, I reviewed the jeweled collection tee in this post. I assume that's the one you're talking about. Thumbsup, but not practical for me, personally. Not sure if that'll help. FWIW the jeweled seemed very, very secure.
DeleteI just got it today and it does say "hand wash" and "don't iron on embellishments (doh!). Initially I was more drawn to the navy but it felt a bit evening-y and dark for the season so I went with the cream one. I could have sized down but I prefer it a bit slouchy. Will post Instapic.
DeleteJust received a $25 coupon from Madewell via email for purchases of $26 or more. It's says "first online order" even though I've ordered from them before, and it expires on 4/15.
ReplyDeletest - Thanks for sharing that. I went to look & got a coupon for $25 off of $100 from Madewell.
Deletest, I got the same and I am not a first-time customer. Go figure!
DeleteI got both, one for 25 off 26 and one for 25 off 100. Exciting!

DeleteIf anyone doesn't want their coupon, I'd love one!
DeleteI got both colors in the weekend skinny sweatpant (so comfy, love them!) which were on promo + 30% off, and a popback: the neon hibiscus cashmere getaway hoodie. Wish it was addl 40 off but I'll settle for 30 ;)
ReplyDeleteReviews here of a few sweaters on sale + FRESHSALE or FACEBOOK25. Incl the merino zip shoulder, which was a surprise thumbsup.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I've been holding back...
ReplyDeleteI'm probably too late, but if anyone has seen the Radial Medallion Necklace (item a5695) at their store, could you please let me know - either here or by email: ajswirsky AT sbcglobal DOT net. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI took advantage of the Facebook25 code and picked up a few things this morning (glad to not have final sale!) Trying out the Curator pant finally...hoping these might be kind to my hips...also ordered the photo floral patio skirt, jeweled collar oxford and a white Tilda which randomly showed up in my size...I've worn my other one like crazy, I'll be happy for a backup :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a Facebook exclusive: 25% off women’s & men’s styles, in stores & online (+ 30% off sale) and it expires Monday, April 14, 2014.
