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. This is a long shot, but has anyone seen the Tippi in the black and white cat print at any of their stores? Need an XS, should have bought it in the fall! Some sizes have popped back, so I'm hoping I can snag it...

    1. KER, that size is available online right now!

    2. It was literally sold out by the time I read this, minutes later! Hoping for more pop backs, maybe after Christmas?!

    3. You can find pop back online on Nordstrom frequently. I shop mainly there now for JCrew. I can't keep up with the changes in daily sales :)

  3. I stopped by the outlet yesterday - my store was pretty much decimated. Bare racks, I think it was 50 off the store, but there wasn't really anything to look at so I left. Went to the retail store today for returns, it was very busy but not crazy. 40 off the store and they gave 40 off sale too. The sale section is still half summer stuff - my store had some of the leopard fur vests but none in my size, I would have snapped up for $30. I did get the 1988 heritage sweater which rang up $59 before the 40% off so for the blend of the sweater, I was good with the price. That'll be it for visits until after the holiday!

    I don't understand why they don't match the online sale to the in store sale...

  4. Stopped in store for online pick ups & returns. Store has redlined summer items at additional 40% off plus all the other sale stuff. They also matched new online promo for 50% off certain full price items so picked up ribbed wool popover in olive and furry slippers in pink. Could stack with 15% off coupon. Also ordered a couple of online sale items in store (red/white striped funnel neck top in tall (hopeful longer length will work better) & tipped cotton pjs).

  5. My love for the 'Crew was short lived. They shipped my item, intended as a gift, WITHOUT TAGS and wrinkled. Who does that around the holiday season? In addition, when I contacted them, they said that because the item didn't have tags it could not be returned to a store and that they would leave a note ALLOWING a return via mail. Note, this is NOT a final sale item. Presented with some caps lettering but without comment.

    1. That is just so wrong. They sent it to you without tags... That's totally on them and they shouldn't make it hard to return because they messed up.

      Delete
    2. Agreed - sounds like the CSR you got may have been holiday help (not to excuse their response). I think that an established rep would've processed a pre-return and sent you a new item overnight.

  6. Has anyone had any luck with price adjustments? I ordered the Lodge coat exactly one week ago during the 40% off sale and also used my 15% student discount. Today it’s on sale for 50% and with my 15% discount it comes out to $155, a price which would allow me to overlook the coat’s imperfections ;)

    The website says, though, that price adjustments are only available on full-price purchases, which seems a little antiquated considering their liberal use of promos. Anyway, should I even bother contacting CS for the adjustment or should I just reorder?

    1. I have received PA on sale merchandise for a while now, as long as it is within 7 days they will do a PA so I'd call CS. They have always been very helpful.

    2. I got my price adjustment! They'll adjust as long as it's 7 days from the ship date. Love J Crew CS!!!!

  7. I received a 15% off coupon that I won’t be using:

  11. Stopped in yesterday morning to pick up a stocking stuffer for my mom. The store was so empty with very little merchandise to choose from. Sale was packed in but picked over. 4-5 people working the floor, but few customers. By contrast Madewell next door had lots of merchandise and new sale items. It was just a better shopping atmosphere. It could be that the Madewell store is much smaller, and my J crew store is just too big if they aren't going to carry many items in the actual store. Curious if others had the same experience.

  12. Nordstrom rack online has one of the J Crew leopard vests in Petite M. It's $49.97 right now but it'll be an extra 25% off on Dec. 26 if it doesn't sell out. (There's only one in stock, though)

  13. My lone holiday purchase from J Crew was the Park Blazer in Tartan - wore it last night to a party and received a million compliments. It is gorgeous and so perfect over black, dressy or casual.

    Nothing else interested me so no store visits, and online promos have been lacking. I typically do a shopping ban after the holidays, and it probably won’t be difficult to stick to this year with most of what J Crew is offering lately.

    1. Nice to hear the Park blazer was a hit! The tartan are so fun when they're done well.

  14. just had a weird experience with madewell CS. I have a $25 off your next purchase coupon for my birthday and the website would not allow me to put 2 codes so I called CS. And CS took the $25 off the price of the item first and then give me the 30% off. And she insist that this is the only way I can use the coupon. I never experienced this. Jcrew would always first give the % off and use $25 off... Anybody had similar experience?

    1. Well, Madewell didn't send me my bday coupon. I contacted them to inquire and they were kind enough to honor it, but the item arrived damaged. They sent a replacement which also arrived damaged. The CS rep I chatted with led me to understand that bc I used a coupon and they were not making any $$ on my purchase that they couldn't set up another replacement. Needless to say this has not been a good shopping season with Madewell and J Crew for me.

    3. That sounds like what Kohl's does when you spend their Kohl's cash rewards. If you buy a $100 item and have a 30% off coupon and $25 Kohl's cash, they take the Kohl's cash off first and then apply the 30% off coupon. $100-$25-30%= a net $52.50. The other way would be better for the buyer: $100-30%-$25= a net of $45.

    4. Weird... I used a birthday promo during the Black Friday sale and they definitely did 25% off and then $25 off. I didn't call CS though; I used their twitter messaging feature.

    5. I just used my Madewell birthday $25 in the store and they applied the 30% off first, then the $25. I was surprised they honored the extra 30% off since I couldn't stack codes online. Anyway it was great, so I'm sorry you had such trouble.

      Delete
    6. I've tried using my Madewell birthday $25 a bunch of times this month and they will not let me use it with any other promo. I've tried online AND in store

    7. @Anthro Blogger, the service you receive should be based on a whole ethic, not one transaction and how much money they are or are not making this particular time around. And to suggest that your patronage isn't worth it... Well.

    8. December birthday rewards pretty much stink. I just asked again via chat and they make a big deal. Why should I have to choose between 30% off and using a birthday gift? I finally insisted other people were able to do it and I asked again. Now I need to call to have it go through.

    9. Happy Birthday to all those other December babies.
      @Suz Has yes December birthday perks usually go unused because there are so many other promos. Anthropologie gives a 15% off code which is virtually useless since they run 25-30% off promos during December. I tried to stack it and CS said it was no problem - then financial dept. denied it and charged me more. 2 more phone calls and they finally let me use it as a "one time courtesy". The irony is that I could "stack" it in my online cart, so not sure why there was such a problem. @ J crew it was super easy and J crew CS was great at applying my birthday perk AND the 40% off. Happy Holidays

  15. Success applying Madewell birthday gift using Live Chat and completing transaction on Live Chat. I had not received my birthday gift and use Live Chat to inquire. Live Chat stated that birthday gift is sent via email and email could not be resent, agent advised to order and then send email to Madewell and account would be noted. I opted to restart Live Chat and place the order with agent rather deal with email after the fact. The Live Chat agent explained that generally double promos are disallowed, but she went ahead and applied the 30% off and then applied the birthday gift. Very pleasant transaction. HTH someone.

  16. I'm still trying to find the double leopard topcoat in a size four. I bought a six but it is too big. Has anyone seen one in a store? I'm watching for one online but no luck so far. Thank you!

  17. Here's a last-minute Christmas gift for some JCA. Sorry I didn't find this in my catalog earlier, but I can't use this $50 off $150. Code is CHO2F5VJY. To be used by midnight tonight. Pls. post if you've used it so no one else wastes time trying it. J. Crew isn't what it used to be, but I'm so glad that Alex has continued this community.

  18. Was running errands and dropped by the Flatiron store just to see the instore promo. 40% off everything including sale. Wasn’t expecting to get anything so I didn’t bring my 15% off card, but ended up with the embroidered Mary Janes ($78 + %off!). Anyone know how I can retroactively apply the card for an instore purchase?

    1. Just ask the SA’s to return it and rebuy it wih the 15%off
