Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

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!

  1. not for me.... no reason to go. this is the same promo...Until another roll out happens...I am sitting it ALL out. (esp. Factory)...there last weekend. the prices are a joke (next door Gap) had superior items at half factory cost.
    I am avoiding factory now as it seems to be just cheaper fabrics than retail...IMO

    1. Glad to know that I am not the only one that dislikes Factory. I stopped by last Friday and as usual left empty handed. I too find the fabrics cheap and the items not a good knockoff in my mind of the retail version.

    2. i am not crazy about the knock offs either and the quality is often not that great either.

    3. I find Factory very hit or miss, sometimes excellent quality (merino charleys, flannel lounge pants, mens shirts), sometimes plain awful (poly, sweaters that are handwash and then shrink three sizes). So will buy but only the occasional item

  2. Stopped by Tysons Corner, Virginia store this afternoon. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Sequin Side Stripe Shirt. I don't see them online yet, but tried on the blue and the white shirt and brought both home. The shirts are long, but super cute worn under one of the new cropped sweaters so you can see the sequin sides of the shirt peeking out. Nicely made shirt and the sequin side stripes are tastefully added IMHO. Subtle, pretty detail. Run, don't walk to try them. Also, got a pair of the sateen toothpick jeans on super sale and a couple of the cropped Merino Pointelle cable sweaters. Worth the trip (and the extra 25% off) for the shirts alone today. SA told me the 25% off new arrivals sale will be extended through the weekend in stores. Not sure about online. My guess is probably yes.

    2. Thank you! I really don't need to buy anymore gifts for myself after my purchase of the berliner tote from madewell, Hunter boots and dv suede ones that I have gotten this month lol

    3. Happy birthday!
      I own the Chelsea rain boots in leopard, and I love them! I'd suggest going up to the next size if you're a half size (I'm a 7.5 and got an 8) so that you can wear some thick socks with them.
      I know the elastic on the inside bothered some people, but I haven't found that to be a problem. Definitely worth the price, and my feet have stayed nice and dry :)

    4. Thank you! I think I am going to go try them on tomorrow!

    5. Caroline, I did a quick stop at J Crew on my way to Madewell and I thought I remember seeing a sign that the rain boots were $58. My store was still running the 25% fall styles as of this evening and 50% off sale, not sure where promo items fall with the discounts. Also, Happy Birthday!!

    6. I sized up 1/2 size and wear long socks. If not the top will scrape your skin

    7. I got them and they ended up being $44! Now if I can figure out the cutest way to wear them!

  4. I popped in today for a bit. I wanted the zip-pocket mini in tweed item b0526 which is now $79.99 plus extra 40%. They didn't have my size but ordered it for me at the instore price -40% & waived the shipping:) Can't wait to get it as it was one of my must haves. So that I wouldn't leave empty handed, I bought the deco folded metal necklace item B6678 which was $39.99 plus extra 40% off. I am loving the longer necklaces this season and I think this one will work with lots of colors.

  5. I went to the Eaton Centre yesterday. The sale section has now grown smaller, and nothing new was added, so I passed on that. They were all out of the 0 and 2 in the blurred ikat skirt, which I really wanted to try. The SA suggested sizing down in that one.

    OT, but I tried on the Pixies yesterday, and the regular length is the same length as the short ones I ordered last year. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe the pair I received wasn't tagged properly :s

    Also, does anyone have a review of the Kiltie Monk Strap loafers in the brown colour? Would love some JCA feedback before ordering! Thanks :)

    2. J. Lee: Are you on Instagram? I posted pictures of the loafers earlier today. My username is jcrewismyfavstore. The shoes are fabulous quality. I took my normal size 9. HTH!

  7. I went yesterday to make a return. The SF store I go to is a mess. I didn't even bother looking at the sale rack, but it was full of stuff, @ 40% off.
