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. Hi JCA's!

    Cousy brought this up earlier in the week, and it's been confirmed - JC is discontinuing their bridal line. Articles here and here.

    1. Thanks for sharing, silver_lining. I hope this move helps JC start to right their ship!

      Although... just as I was writing that, I remembered their new athletic line -- I don't think it's a bad selection at all, but rather that it doesn't have a whole lot to do with their brand in some ways. As other JCAs have mentioned, I don't think of JC when I'm thinking of athletic gear. The market already offers plenty of good stuff, IMO.

  2. OT: Madewell is offering 25% off 'Wear-Now Style' with code LAYERUP at checkout. I've shared my personal picks in this post on my blog for those interested. :)

  3. Sale was 40& off at the Toronto Eaton Centre yesterday. Hope that helps someone!

  4. No visit for me but I did just score the Rome destination art tee for $15.00 being shipped from a store. I noticed this morning that it had gone on sale online so had to have one. I am wearing a lot of these tees lately since the weather has been so hot where I live. They make a nice thin layering piece.

    1. Yay-DD! That's an awesome buy. I noticed it went on sale, but have had absolutely zero luck getting a SA or someone via chat to say they can find any sizes in a store in anything that's sold out online lately. :( Total bummer. Any tips?

    2. Call the Georgetown store near D.C., they had not marked them down yet and I think the guy said they had a whole stack. Good luck. If they don't have it, they will look it up and maybe find another store for you.

      Delete
    3. Thanks, DD! Just ordered one from there. I find that store to be one of the most helpful. Also, the Tysons Corner store is usually a good one to call. I used to live near both of these.

    4. Thanks so much for the tip; I was too late. They are sold out :(. I used to be able to get my local store to look up item stock, but I've been getting the "our online inventory is real time, and will show any if any are available, even in stores" line a lot lately... If only ;)

      Delete
    5. I called Tyson's Corner, and they were about to ship me one. They verified it as full price, and I questioned whether it was on sale. She said it was a brand new Rome tee, F8901. Since I have no idea what that one looks like, I backed out of the sale :( If anyone sees a L or XL of F4361, can you pls let me know? Thanks much!

      Delete
    6. Wendy, I bought the XL at Georgetown and there were only 4 stores showing this size. I found it on the second call so I just called the two other stores for you but they don't have it. I would watch the website because one store said they just shipped them back to online yesterday. I will bet one will pop back.

    7. That is bologna about the online inventory reflecting what is still in store. When I get that, I just hang up and call another store that knows what is going on and get them to look up the item.

      Delete
    8. @DD, yeah, that whole explanation is bogus. I just put a medium on hold @ Willowbend. They definitely have stock of the Rome tee.

      Delete
    9. Yeah, the sales associates definitely don't seem as helpful finding things lately. It seems like they would want to sell their merchandise if someone is willing to buy it. And Wendy, if it makes you feel any better I bought a small from the Georgetown store. If I see a l or xl while I'm out this weekend I'll have it held for you.

    10. Went today after work. They have New York, Paris and Rome tshirts in all sizes in 347 Madison Ave store in New York

      Delete
  5. DD, you are beyond sweet to do that. Thank you so much for trying! :)

  6. I was sure that I saw the red Margot silk top in the sale section in store this week but it's not on sale online. It's quite new so I was surprised. I'm wondering if stores and online are getting inconsistent in sales again.

    1. Hi Jan, just visited my local store for a return and it doesn't seem to be on sale at ours (the red one, I mean). I've seen the hot pink one on sale, online, not sure about the red color.

      Delete
    2. Hi TM93, I saw the pink on sale and noticed the red ones too maybe they were hung there by accident? I didn't look at the price but there were a few in the racks.
      I bought a ballet tee on sale and later realized that the store didn't cut their price again this week like online did. I'll have to pay better attention. :)

  7. As suspected J. Crew is discontinuing their bridal line. Article here:

    1. I'm sure the world can do without the selections for the bride but the bridesmaids dresses will be missed. They always looked so stylish compared to the offerings at the bridal stores.

      Delete
    2. Although it's a long time since my wedding, I have always loved looking at the JCrew bridesmaids dresses. They have so many beautiful, chic options, I wish they'd been available when I got married. I love the idea of having different styles in the same colour, or the same style in coordinating colours.

      Delete
    3. I always enjoyed looking at the collection, too.
      I was soooo happy when I got to buy one of their bridesmaid dresses.

      Delete
    4. One of the articles (see @silver_lining) makes reference to a focus on special occasion dresses, so maybe there's still an opportunity for bridesmaid dresses. Also, a reference to what people want to wear to weddings, so maybe that helps explain some of the aesthetic from NYFW for Spring 2017.

  8. I guess December roll-out is Tuesday next week? December Style Guide is uploading on Pinterest now.

    1. I think it is the other way around as i said it-sorry.

  9. Not a review, but I have itemF5922, collection jeweled heels in houndstooth, size 7.5, that are too big for me and will return to the store next week. The cost is $163.00 + shipping. Email me at arhgmyers@charter.net if interested. PayPal

  10. Has anyone been to a Madewell store this weekend? Are there any promos on bags? I'm planning to buy the clutch within the next few days for a wedding but would like a better promo than my student discount if at all possible! TIA!

  11. Has anybody seen a cap sleeve dress in shirting stripe in size 0 in one of your stores? I've been trying to hunt this dress down and coming up empty :( TIA!

  12. Hey JCA's with the new 25HOURS promo going on, I was able to apply 30% off from the Preorder search items that is not even released yet. I ordered the Croc embossed Signet bag, and it wasn't excluded.
    You might want to pull the item from your Preorder search, to put onto your shopping cart. Good luck!

    1. Also from that Presearch, I ordered the pom pom accessory, and it honored the 30% off!

      Delete
    2. Also, did a mock check-out on the Metallic Tweed Jacket, also from Preorder, and 30% worked!

      Delete
    3. Yay!! I ordered the houndstooth Tippi from next week's roll-out and the 30% off promo worked! Plus 5% off with Ebates

      Delete
    4. Yay! Black Friday come early! :)

      Delete
    5. Thanks guys!!! Got 3 items from the preorder with 30% off. Wonder when they will figure this one out?

      Delete
    6. Thanks @JSR! Wanted to try Collection Maxi Skirt in Tartan and 30% off worked + 5% Ebates. Saw a woman wearing something similar last year @ the country club, so interested to see how this one works.

      Delete
    7. I ordered that one too, Mygoddy. I absolutely love maxi-skirts, and this one is especially perfect for the holiday season.

      Delete
    8. Thanks for the PSA! I was able to check out with the pre-order wool Maddie pants in Black Watch Plaid (I like these better than the version offered last year which I believe had a leather tuxedo stripe down the leg) and a pair of the Sperry Shearwater Flannel Boots both at 30% off, plus 5% Ebates. It's been a good morning :)

      Delete
    9. You're welcome! 🤓

      For sure when these Preorder items roll-out, JCrew will not offer a percent off full price! Especially on hot/popular items. Good that there's free shipping, too!

      Delete
  13. Anyone out there try on the Factory version of the lace pants or this years retail version? I really like the concept but last years version just had a weird fit on me and I am hoping this years is better.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I was looking at the new lace dress in the preorder search results and it looks as if it has large utility flap pockets right across the chest which seems a little weird. Maybe it's the trick of the photography so I would be curious if anyone has seen it in person. I thought it might be a nice, work friendly, dress for an event but flap utility pockets across my chest, eh, don't know about that.

  15. I've shared my personal picks for the 25HOURS promo in this post, as well as links to IRL photos of the Icon Trench in Plaid and Long Downtown Field Jacket. Lots to love this time around!

  16. I like the Sadie pom-pom ankle flat in tartan. I missed out on the tartan flats last year :( I am wondering whether I should order my true size 8.5 or order down 1/2 size per the suggestion on the web site? TIA - Melodie

  17. Anyone with the new style guide; can you provide the style # of the wolfstooth sleeveless dress styled with the jean jacket? What material is it? And is it offered in petite?

    1. Hi JSR - it's the denim jacket in Tyler wash (C0172), which has been on the site for a while. Cotton and available in petite.

      Delete
    2. Hi Silver Lining - Thanks, but I needed the style # for the wolfstooth sleeveless dress. ☺️

      Delete
    3. Oh, duh! I need more coffee.

      Flounce silk in wolfstooth (F8207), also available in petite.
