P.S. Don't forget about Gilt's offer for 30% off Factory items (both online and in stores). Click here for more. This promotion ends September 14, 2014.
Have you received this email? Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? Any items you are interested in? If so, please share!
I did get this email, but probably will not take advantage of the promotion since the item I'm interested in has been around for awhile. Speaking of which, I was wondering if anyone has tried the Factory funnelneck sweatshirt and can comment on quality, sizing, etc.?
ReplyDeletei have....My thoughts are the feeling of the material is "icky" feels like poor quality. not soft and lux like some of the $$ retail sweatshirts. No comparison really...it is not worth it IMO. if possible buy the retails closest version...it 100% better... Carolyn
DeleteI have last year's version and I bought my regular size. I did find it a teeny bit small, but I could still layer. It pilled horribly, so hopefully it's better with this year's version.
DeleteThank you Carolyn and Wendy. I think I'll just save my money for something else or look for the retail version on Ebay.
DeleteI used the get the Early Access mail but not any more despite several mails to customer service. Would appreciate it if someone would post the link. TIA,
ReplyDeleteHi fleur de lys - Here's the link. :)
DeleteThanks, Melissa!!
DeleteVery happy to see long-sleeved cotton (cotton!) henleys!
ReplyDeleteOT- I got the harper flats in calf hair leopard....I'm normally a 8.5 but based on reviews I got a 9...but I feel like it may be too long? What do the JCA's think? try the 8.5 or will they be too tight? I could keep these and just use a heel pad so I don't slip out....ugh what to do (I'm overseas- but will hopefully be back in the US in three weeks to order/try on the 8.5 to compare and I think I'll be under my 60 day return window)
ReplyDeleteFunny you mention the sizing. I bought two pairs of shoes from J crew at my normal size and I felt they were a little long. Is jcrew doing vanity sizing on our feet? Can you exchange for your normal size and compare?
DeleteMe too - bought a pair of flats recently in my normal (aka 1/2 size down) J Crew size & they're too big.
DeleteI'm an 8.5 shoe size as well. Purchased the Dulci pumps and had to size down to an 8. The 8.50 was wayyyyyy to long but the 8 fits perfectly.
DeleteI looked at the email but don't see anything that interests me. There are some thing I want but don't need (until an awesome sale hits), and I'm also not in a shopping mood. Good for my wallet!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Camel sweater (item a9035). I wanted last year's retail version, but could never catch it in my size at the sale price, and wasn't willing to pay a ton for such a novelty piece that I would only wear once or twice a season. But with the Gilt 30% promo, it brought the sweater down to a little over $40. Now that I can do!
ReplyDeletethought I would grab a new winter coat today with this link and the 30 percent off Gilt promotion, but I read the fine print for the Gilt code and apparently outerwear is excluded. this is a change from last year, when I got two cocoon coats using the Gilt promo. disappointing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the fine print says the discount won't work on outerwear, when I added the toggle coat (and puffer coat) to my cart the discount worked. Still doesn't work on puffer vests.
DeleteOT - Tom Mora talks about not so precious sequins and how yes, you can wear those Bermuda shorts to work (1:11 total).
ReplyDeleteanybody have factory cashmere cardigan that can comment on the quality? thanks
ReplyDeleteI have one from last year, and was very please with the quality and softness. Like all J.Crew cashmere it does pill. I think its worth it and the price point is better.

ReplyDeleteCan anyone comment on the SHIRTTAIL MINI SHIRT from last reason for fit and material?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance~
Elaine - I haven't tried the shirttail mini, but it's 16.5" whereas they've lengthened some of the minis to 17." I wear 6 in J. Crew, but would probably go for an 8 to get that extra 1/4" in material for length.
DeleteShOperaRach reivewed it in black and in cobalt. HTH :)
Thx Gigi! I chatted with a SA and it turns out that the material is 70% wool and 30% viscose/rayon whereas the retail mini is 100% wool. So I didn't pick it up.
DeleteI am *supposed* to be doing a "no shop September" but with the Gilt coupon I ordered the new plaid flannel shirt in the grey/mustard colorway & the jeweled-front oxford. Oh J Crew, I wish I could quit you.
ReplyDeleteOT: Madewell added new arrivals to their website earlier this week, plus they are offering an extra 30% off select fall styles with code ADDTOBAG until tomorrow. I've shared my New Arrival picks, as well as the link to the styles eligible for the extra 30% off in this post on my blog today. As always, there is plenty to love at Madewell. :)
ReplyDeleteThree reviews Factory here, incl the warmspun Fair Isle sweater. Link to the Gilt City 30% coupon is also in the post, i fyou need it.
ReplyDeleteTwo more reviews ---> houndstooth sweatshirt & houndstooth Charley sweater
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried on the factory city coat? I am loving it in pink, but am wondering how it compares to the retail cocoon coat in quality and fit.
ReplyDeletefrockgirl - I posted an Instapic of the city coat yesterday. Size down one, imo. I thought it's the same and they didn't mess w/the fit, but they actually changed it from a long zipper to hidden buttons. I still give it a thumbsup.
DeleteComparison of last year's retail cocoon to the factory version in this post.
HTH :)
Thanks gigigoneshopping. I normally wear a 00 or 00p so not sure if those will be too big on me. Thanks again!
