If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in the SALE, or to see some NEW 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!
No trip to J.Crew for me, but I did place an order for a flannel shirt from the men's section for myself earlier this week when they offered the free shipping on all orders. :)
ReplyDeleteFor those shopping the sales this weekend, I've updated both the J.Crew and Madewell Promo-Priced Items & Markdowns lists with all the latest additions. There have been a lot of new markdowns and promo items added to both sites this week.

For those interested, I've also shared my picks for the new arrivals that Madewell added to their website earlier this week. See them here.
I'll go to return a shiny puffer vest. I'd like to keep it, but it smells like wet dog. I hope I can find one that does not smell. Can anyone comment on their olfactory experience (or lack thereof) with this vest? TIA...
ReplyDeleteHi NewJCA - I found that to be the case with the navy excursion vest that I ordered about a month ago. The wet dog smell hit me as soon as I opened the box. In doing some online research I read something about not letting down fully dry (I'm sure as a cost cutting measure) before stuffing coats and that leading to the smell. I also tried a Factory puffer coat last winter that smelled okay at first, but while going on a walk it got some snowflakes on it and then the wet dog smell started to come out. Personally, I think I'm just going to give up on down as an outerwear option.
DeleteCan't comment on that particular vest, but I had a JCrew puffer a few years ago and it STUNK when I received it. Rotting animal stink or something. I liked it though so hung in a spare closet and hung outside when I could and the smell slowly dissipated over a month or so. Had that puffer a long time and it never smelled again, even when wet, so yes, the smell did go away...eventually.
ReplyDeleteWent to the Bethesda J.Crew on my lunch break. Sale is 40% off. Not a whole lot of great markdowns, although the Dannie's are marked down to 59.99 in store, a much better deal than online. Puffer vests and sweaters are 25% off. Asked if I could use my $50 off $150 email on sale merch and was told no. Bought the buffalo check flannel in black/white (it looks more grey IRL than on the website, very soft, will wear for work and weekends), the triad necklace, and a set of ponytail holders using the email promo...I basically got the necklace for free. :)
ReplyDeleteI was considering the triad necklace. It looks pretty delicate. What do you think of it? Does it have some sort of bead between the triangles? It's hard to tell from the pic on my monitor.
DeleteThanks
It does have beads stationed along the chain. The color I bought is not online-mine has blue-green, almost aquamarine like triangle stones and pale pink tiny beads. I found it to be a bit more delicate than the usual chunky necklaces I buy from J. Crew. I can see myself wearing it year round. HTH!!
DeleteThat color sounds really pretty. Thanks for the info, Sara.
DeleteA review of the J. Crew Schoolboy Tipped Blazer--both colorways here HTH!
ReplyDeleteHi guys, I bought the vest and didn't have any problems with the smell. I usually wear XS or S and the S fits in this. I wish it was a tad longer for me (I'm 5'8").
ReplyDeleteToday the vest is 40% off and not showing final sale! (I already complained that I wasn't able to get a price adjustment but I did reorder to get this great price!)
OMG the vest has been taken off promo! Hope somebody else was able to grab that deal before they changed their mistake!

ReplyDeleteNo JC for me right now. I'm finding far more interesting Fall items over at Boden. This weekend they are offering 20% off entire full price purchase with free shipping over $50. Love it!! It's like the vault on JC of 2005-2009 has been opened. Heehee.
ReplyDeleteNo....visting/shopping for for me. What is coming up? another fall rollout or are we at the peak right now?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a min roll-out this Wednesday, and a big roll-out two weeks after..
DeleteI have a feeling they'll be rolling out winter/holiday items, not so much fall..
thank you.....
DeleteIt looks like the shiny puffer vest is still 40% off with the JCrew card and CARDSONLY ($76.80+tax).
ReplyDeleteThanks silver_lining, Julie Taylor, and whatthemom.com for your comments on the vest smell/lack thereof. It looks like it may be hit or miss. I'll see if I can find one that does not smell because I really like this puffer.
I have been totally off the Crew lately. I rarely check their website for sales items anymore and it used to be the first thing I did every morning. I did stop at the JCrew store on North Ave in Chicago yesterday and picked up the cropped v neck merino wool sweater in the pale pink color. I love that color and I love cropped sweaters. In netted to about $30 with the 40% off sales items. I tried on the lattice pleated skirt- not sure if that's the name- in the pale pink and loved it except it was obscenely short and I only 5'4" A size up may have helped with the length. I found it on the sales rack but it did not have a sales price sticker so not sure if that means it wasn't marked or someone just stuck it there. There was only one. I would say both the sweater and skirt are TTS. I saw a bunch of the houndstooth schoolboys with the orange under the collar on sale. Something must be off with that blazer if they are on sale already. It was $180 before 40% off. I also saw the perforated Downing tote in saddle for $130 before 40% off. Great deal IMO. I have the transport tote in the saddle so don't need another. The only item I am remotely interested in is the asymmetrical zip pencil skirt but won't even consider it until it goes on sale. Same goes for the Factory excursion vest in black. There were other promos going on but I didn't pay much attention to the signs.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say copped v neck Merino cardigan not sweater
DeleteWent yesterday to pay my bill with my ATM card and was told it's only cash or check due to a glitch in the system that they're working on. So I wandered the mall to find an ATM so that I could pay my bill. Other than that, the sale section has a massive amount of t-shirts with phrases/words on them. I hope we'll see only a couple of these next year.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the v-neck merino cardigan (09160) is on sale in store? It's $61 with promo online & just wanted to see if it was worth a trip to the store. Other than searching for the perfect cardigan, I'm pretty much off J Crew for a bit. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf its not on sale in the store they can adjust the price to the online one.
DeleteI got the pale pink for $30 after 40% off. Not sure if other colors were on sale at the store
DeleteThanks I think I'll give them a call- and probably stop by
DeleteI got the Schoolboy that I wanted with the orange under the collar for $108 after the 40% off, it just arrived in the store mid to end of August, anyway much more fun to buy at that price.
ReplyDeletestuff comes in goes to markdown then to FS within 7 to 8 weeks? why buy at full price at all....someone please answer this
My husband and I went shopping together which we hardly ever to do an he likes a deal as much as I
