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!

ReplyDeleteWas someone here looking for the leather peplum jacket Item K3313? It's at Nordstrom rack along with a lot of the vanished sale stock. $199. Black.
ReplyDeleteI have a little insomnia!
Delete@p, Thanks I ordered a couple for my OA in a couple of different sizes. BTW I too, am somewhat of an insomniac. Best shopping times for me are in the middle of the night. I miss CS 24/7 @ Jcrew. Always a nice group to chat with.😀 Nice to know someone is already around here on this site to get feedback and tips on items. Hope you went back to sleep.
DeleteLynn, thanks I did get some sleep, and still hope for a bit more. Fortunately I am still working from home, so when I can't sleep I just start working and that tends to put me out.
DeleteI thought you might want that jacket, and a few others on here as well. The fitted shape looks to be more flattering on a woman's shape than the 'moto' jackets. Back when I had my motorcycle I wore a leather jacket, but it was not a fashion statement. And the peplum is subtle. Looking forward to hear if it worked for you.
Thank you! I have t worn a leather jacket in forever but I love how simple this one is. A little more than I wanted to spend but worth a shot. I also tried three sizes because of reviews.
DeleteSuz Has, what sizes did you order? Can you return Nordstrom Rack to Nordstrom?
DeleteI ordered 2/4/6. Reviews said it ran small but IMO it depends on body type, and I could only wear this over a thin top, more like a fitted blazer so I don't want it to be too loose.
DeleteThere's a Nordstrom Rack on Rt 10 just west of the Livingston circle which is about 20/25 min away so I'll just drive over. Can't be returned to Nordstrom as far as I know.
@p banos, will do, and thanks so much again. I may actually keep one depending which one fits my PA. Have a nice weekend.
DeleteLynn, if you are returning an 8 and my 6 doesn't work out, maybe we can do something. I should have ordered two, but in the middle of the night I'm too dim.
DeleteP, will do. Keep you posted promise
DeleteIncredibly my jackets are arriving today...which is perfect since husband and daughter are on a ski trip. 😉 by the time they come home on Monday I can remove all evidence.
DeleteInterested to hear what you think of them, Suz.
DeleteLol @Suz 😂 that is perfect timing! I hope that the jacket works out it looks like a great piece. I’m totally confused why Jcrew would sell of such a piece since it was selling well.
DeleteWell, stupid Narvar. Tracking info isn't updated still says it's due to arrive today but there's no tracking info other than it left wherever. Grrr
DeleteInsomnia for me tonight too. There are some new arrivals if you search by item type, including some new liberty prints: Sherpardly Song and Flora Belle. The flora belle is a pop over style that tends to be better for my shape so I’m going to give that a go (I haven’t bought anything since before Christmas). I’m also going to check out the hook up of the diagonal stripe merino skirt and sweater since they both are on sale. I heard somewhere on IG that the skirt is lined, which I think will be more flattering for me than all the other sweater skirts I’ve tried that were not lined. All 3 items ring up at 40% off, including the liberty shirt!
ReplyDeleteNvm, new arrivals show up under new arrivals just are not featured on the first page (if I don’t see anything new on the first page I’ll often go search by item).
DeletePurchased the merino stripe diagnol skirt and sweater which arrived recently. Very pretty colors. Top is short. I’m 5’71/2” thin with thin arms but a 34 DD, long legged and high waisted. Went up a size in the top. Skirt is lined a fuller A-line. The only problem I see with this outfit that even with diagonal stripes one has to be more willowy in stature which I am not, otherwise in my opinion not flattering for most. I also think it looks terrible on the model, dirty looking unkempt hair. Certainly doesn’t have the Wow factor for me and I have a good figure. Hubby said it looked “ok” translated he didn’t like it on me. Probably will send back. Liberty Shepardly arriving today, posted earlier looking bland. Waiting on the Flora not sure about this print either. Wish they’d done a bright turquoise or a different shade of blue.
ReplyDelete*diagonal top and skirt
DeleteMy hubs would say, "Well, if you like it..." and thereby condemn to a return.
Delete😂

ReplyDeleteNice to see new arrivals coming in and the 40% is a good promo, but no visit for me this week. LL Bean got my money - another cotton tunic fisherman sweater and two cashmere hoodies. I learned they also give a student/teacher discount which was a surprise.
ReplyDeleteNo visit for me. Heading to Richmond for a weekend getaway. The liberty shirt I ordered yesterday already shipped and I didn't see anything else I wanted.
ReplyDeleteMiss JR, mine arrived and there is a review below.
DeleteI will be there after work today. Thank you to Suz Has for putting items on hold for me! I'm happy to scout if anyone is looking for things, and will report back.
ReplyDeleteI will probably stop by just to see if there's anything I can't live without for $10. I wish my store had shoes! Cheri - if you see any 9/9.5 goodies let me know :)
ReplyDeleteWill do, I will contact you via IG CM. Should be there around 5 pm.
DeleteOooooooh, Cher can you let me know if you see any shoes in size 8? Or any of the bags? A girl can dream!!!!!
DeleteYes of course, I am happy to do so! Anthro, are we friends on insta?
DeleteI'm looking for SZ Blockprints tops - they run small - so probably a M. And any heels or sneakers in a 10. I have insta, but no cell phone now. Could you post here and I will call them and then run out tomorrow? Love!
DeleteSure thing, p!
DeleteAs of earlier today (yes I'm crazy and went back because I reconsidered the resume dress which wasn't there around 11am) there were only some sequin high heels which I had previously tried and found terribly uncomfortable, the plaid block heel pump in a 6, and several of the blue tweed with silver bow flats.
DeleteI tried these in 8.5 (snug) and 9 (loose) and agree the toe box felt narrow.
I also tried a crepe wrap dress in 00 which was a smidge narrow around the upper back but obscenely low cut on me, the tweed shift dress which fit nicelybut the proportions felt off as the waist sits high on my long torso so I get the dreaded butt gap, wide leg full length chinos in a stretch fabric in a 0 that fit but weren't so flattering, another pair of unflattering tan chinos in a 25 (not sure which style, could be the same as the ones I got yesterday, the high rise boy chinos), the velvet pull on pants in a 2 which I would have bought had I needed a third item but they were kind of blah, oh and a denim dress in XXS that was wide at the bottom but narrow up top and I thought I might have been stuck for a minute. Had to basically do an inversion to take it off.
There were a few dresses with elastic waists in M,L, XL and some ruched crepe/jersey dresses that weren't my style. Black lace pants, the clay cropped pants with the tie belt, tan wide leg crops with the elastic waist and tie belt from last summer, some velvet pull on pants in black and the rose leopard, burgundy velvet toothpicks.
No blockprint tops that I saw at all.
DeleteThanks for the report, looks like no reason to go at this point. I'd tried the lace pants, but they did not work on me at all, ditto for the crops with the elastic waist (my size gave me diaper butt, and the 0 pulled at the crotch)
DeleteUnless there is stuff hidden in the back or a new shipment coming in, I'd agree.

DeleteNothing different than when Suz was there
DeleteAnthro, I sent you a DM
DeleteThank you Cher and everyone for the sale reports. It's so much fun to shop at a distance!
DeleteMy local store had virtually nothing in the red line sale section when I stopped in with my returns about a week and a half ago, so I doubt there’s much at all now. I have no plans to visit any time soon.
DeleteI just have to share this article about Scottish woolens.
ReplyDeletehttps://dieworkwear.com/post/182793521989/something-about-scottish-woolens
I had heard of a couple of the listed companies, but had never heard of Beggs before. The prices are high but not out of line with other high end brands. I'm unlikely to ever buy but I found the article interesting and the pictures were inspiring.
@Toronto Modern, so appreciate the article you posted. I too, found the photos inspiring. My husbands best friend comes from the Shetland Islands in Scotland and gifted him with one of these sweaters years ago. Ah,the quality and workmanship unsurpassable. Thank you again.
DeleteBeautiful, I loved the 'collaborations' bright scarves. But I think my husband will need to be happy with the $10 cashmere scarf from the crazy men's sale at J Crew, and me with the $6 cashmere hat.
Delete@Toronto Modern - Interesting article. Thanks for posting it. It’s unfortunate that most of these mills have closed. I’ll happily pay more for the quality! I have a drawer full of beautiful Brooks Brothers cashmere sweaters, made-in-Scotland of Italian cashmere. Unfortunately even BB now sells a lot of made-in-China knits, but I think they still carry a limited number of the good sweaters. I also have several made-in-Scotland wool scarves that I bought at the Wall Street TJ Maxx a few years ago for a pittance. I have no use for them now, but I can’t give them up. Maybe I’ll travel to somewhere cold some day...
DeleteJCA poll, those of you who have or tried on the Poppy ballet flats in tweed J8237 that Suz reported seeing yesterday in the sale section, what size do you have? Reviews are all over the place and Alyssa indicated they run large. I’m a size 8 in shoes elsewhere and in Kiki and Cece, a 7.5 in Sophie and Cleo loafers (remember those?!) and an 8.5 in the old Martinas. Any feedback appreciated as they would be final sale, but for the price I can’t pass them up!
ReplyDeleteI tried them on and found them TTS length-wise, but too narrow for me in the toe-box. My foot runs a little on the wider side though.
DeleteWe are foot twins- I'm an 8 in Ceces and 7.5 in everything else (Dulci's, Avery's, Gemmas). To expand upon my "run big" comment- 7.5 was okay to a little loose- I felt like my heel was slightly slipping out of the back, though it was only a very brief try on bc I decided I didn't love the bow. Hope that helps!
DeleteThank you kel and Alyssa, I played the crewlette!
DeleteThe sheath dress in the Mayapple print (L2593) looks cute - I liked this print but not for swim, so was happy to see it elsewhere. Unfortunately, I think I would get really limited wear out of the dress. Booo... I may give it a try if nothing else shows up in the print next week.
ReplyDeleteThe darker background looks great, nice print. If you get it, post a review.
DeleteI was looking at that too. I wish it were more of a scoop neckline, or had cap sleeves, or came in petites. I feel like the proportions are weird. The heavy fabric and high neck juxtaposed with the sleevelessness and floral print seem like an odd contrast? The print is beautiful. Make it in a pencil skirt and I'll buy it in a minute.
DeleteI'd buy the top half! But I like high necklines.
Deletep banos, we could split the cost of the dress and cut it in half, lol!
DeleteYes, but too bad the surgery would probably not be successful unless I wanted a crop top and you a mini.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI volunteer to do the chopping and sewing!
DeleteLiberty Shepardly Print arrived and here is what my PA said about it. TTS, with the floral pattern there are various shades of lavende, brilliant purple, some heather aqua, a dark olive green and a more kelly green, a little brown sprig here and there, sapphire blue, a heather peri type blue, a little darker blue , cerise, shell pink and perhaps it’s a light guava, a little black and a little gray stems. Body of shirt is Ivory. Judging from the photos she sent I am dizzy trying to identify all of the colors as there are so many variants. Purple shades seems to be most predominant at least this is what the two of us saw. Fabric is very lightweight. Anyone that has a Brilliant Purple color in the featherweight cashmere(she put mine over it) definitely can add pop to this otherwise bland blouse. I am just using one of my colors as an example. It definitely needs something to jazz it up and not the earrings that were pinned to the collar in the previews 😂
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be online now!
DeleteOT but brilliant purple is such a gorgeous color, I miss it!
DeleteHappy I purchased this color and all of the others when they were worthy of being called cashmere years ago and they haven’t pilled at all. Heather Peri looks nice for a more subtle look, various shades of pink pops it, green looks very nice,and heather aqua looks very pretty as well as heather hyacinth. I believe they put the bright colored earrings on the collar to add some pop of color. Still on the fence about keeping it and was hoping the company released some new designs in necklaces. I gravitate towards mixing whimsical and conservative. Have any ideas?
DeleteI found a few more things on my trip today. Four items for $29. Black sweater with jeweled shoulders, olive lace 3/4 sleeve top, black point sur lace trim top and crepe faux wrap top in light pink with the navy floral print. Couldn't say no at those prices.
ReplyDeleteI received the Tall Point Sur wide-leg full-length pant in caramel in my usual size 2. Too short not full length, and ran a bit small. I love the color, but will return. I'm not going to size up, because they would still be too short. Maybe I will try the officer pants if they are restocked in tall.
ReplyDeleteWent to store. As I said above, nothing different than when Suz was there earlier (and yesterday 😂). Picked up:
ReplyDeleteRed cotton roll neck sweater she graciously put on hold for me
Green plaid classic fit button down
Men’s green lambs wool bomber jacket Sz XS for me which I LOVE
That is fantastic!!! Happy for you.
DeleteThank you! Sorry your pants didn’t work out. Frown face.
DeleteNada here. Still sulking over the sell-off as I have three items I really like but need in other sizes. They're sitting here in limbo. Going to check Nordstrom Rack as tipped here :)
ReplyDeleteThis should go in the vent thread but why do they always send bday coupon codes that don’t work! And why is the same mercantile rain boots that show up on both factory and retail websites higher priced in the regular J Crew website vs factory (well technically the list price is higher on factory but it’s been on forever promo for less than the retail price which is excluded from all promos). It’s sold out in my size in factory website so I guess I have to buy the higher priced on retail website even though it’s the same item! Tempted to just buy the Target version!
ReplyDeleteI have never ever gotten the promised birthday code from Factory even though my birthday is listed in my profile.
DeleteAlyssa, Call CS they will take care of you.
DeleteDoes anybody know if coats were included in this sale? I'm also curious to know what bags, shoes and blazers were included on the women's side. It seems that stores are marking stuff down inconsistently.
ReplyDeleteThe irony of the situation is the reports that the company is drowning in sale stock but they unloaded the desirable pieces from the warehouse instead of the million velvet tanks and shorts languishing in stores. Not quite sure who is minding the shop.
My store had coats during last week's $19.99 phase of the sale, but they went quickly! I ended up with h2076 in navy, j7228 in gray, and k0896 in black. I remember they also had one Collection Lurex tweed oversized coat (J8515) and a Perfect Winter Parka (H2222). Bag-wise they had a few of the Harper Mini Satchel (J9604) and the Mini Velvet Signet (K0958). There were also a couple black tweed blazers with a silver thread - can't find the item now. This stuff was all gone by the end of last weekend though.
DeleteI agree about inconsistency! When I went to a store across town, they seemed to have way less marked down. Maybe the good stuff had just already sold.
Kel, would you mind sharing the store? I may try to give them a call to see if I can snag a coat if there are any left in their stock room.
DeleteYou had so many great coat finds!
Try online cs support, they should match it for you. I ordered 3 coats last week( me, my mom, my sister), few cashmere sweaters and wraps. All were 13.93..... all stuff shipped .... very excited...
DeleteChicago Southport!
Delete@Kate Did you order a coat style which disappeared from online sale section? I am just wondering whether those disappeared online still could be ordered through CS.
DeleteKate, i don't even understand how that was possible. Which coats? They were online but not in stores? My store had no coats during the event.
DeleteThank you for the tip, Kate. I reached out to CS but they refused to match it. It seems like it's the luck of the draw depending on the CS agent you get. Unfortunately, I didn't have luck this time!

ReplyDelete5% ebates and 40% off made me order the slingback heels in colorblock snakeskin print. They remind me of old school J Crew.
ReplyDelete@fleur de lys, I am considering these too and yes they do remind me of old J Crew. Pretty colors. Not sure how much wear I would get out of them though. I only wear heels when it’s an absolute necessity and yes I collect them, but I am a complete klutz when I have to walk more than 50 ft in them. Also considering the color print brocade pointed toe flats. Do you like these?
ReplyDeleteThe slingback heels do look lovely, I love the snakeskin print too but don’t think I’d get much use out of them as I too usually wear flats or open toe sandals when it’s really hot. Part of me wants to buy things that are old Jcrew in fear of them going out of business someday so perhaps they’d be an investment. 😉
Delete@Lynn, I caved and ordered the canary yellow sorrento sweatshirt. Thanks for your previous input on it. I really don’t need another sweatshirt and I’m not 100% sure about the size of the graphic but my yellow obsession won and I have to try it.
@jan, sounds like we are “birds of a feather” with yellow. It is a beautiful color. Wish there was a sweater or sweatshirt in the same exact color. If you don’t care for the graphic at least you can admire the beautiful color and gauge other yellow items that may be released. It’s weight is similar to the Mon Cheri.
Delete@Lynn Chunky heels are the heels that get worn, my kind of heels. I have a couple of kitten heels and while they’re very elegant I don’t wear them that often. They always manage to find the cracks in the pavement;-). The brocade pointed toe flats look gorgeous and remind me of the Vivs of yesteryear.
Delete@fleur de lys, Thank you very much.I’m going to try both. Just wish I could view and try on at a store. Tough time with JCrew shoes at times, narrow heel and medium width we’ll see. Have a nice weekend.
DeleteThank you, Lynn. The brocade shoes look very pretty!
DeleteI noticed that new items on the website don’t have reviews (and I can’t see where one could do a review). Not sure if it’s just the Canadian site but I hope they’re not removing that feature. I can only see reviews/write a review feature on older items.
Lynn, thank you for the article above on Scottish woolens. That was a treat. I am off to visit my scarf collection and dig my husband’s cashmere ones out of the drawer. Why don’t men wear scarves? We are in the frozen Midwest and I rarely see them.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t heard of these mills but I have splurged on a couple Brora cashmere pieces over the years, also Scottish, and they are incredible. It’s good to learn about these places - it’s makes one more thoughtful about buying low quality fast fashion.
@Ruffles, Thank you for the thank you but Toronto Modern posted it. I don’t know why men don’t wear scarves in the US but my husband is European and wears them when we are home in Europe. Wow, living in the Midwest or anywhere else where it gets cold I would have assumed men would wear a scarf. I think they look so nice.I do see a few when in NY or Boston when traveling but again, nowhere as in Europe. My husband could wear a burlap sack head to toe and look gorgeous😂 The pieces of quality cashmere you or anyone else splurges on lasts a lifetime and are a good investment in my humble opinion. In fairness, I have purchased some of the Jcrew scarves in the bright colors and I think given what they are and if you pay a lot less for them are a decent compromise. They certainly feel better than the Everyday cashmere sweaters of late.
DeleteOoh gosh, sorry. Haven’t had my coffee. Thanks to you, Toronto Modern!!!
Delete@jan, received an email from Shopbop featuring sportswear. Tibi has our Canary Yellow color in cropped pants etc. Gorgeous! Downside is they’re $395.00 with 25% off obscene price and will pass. JCrew are you listening please???
ReplyDeleteHopefully Jcrew will offer more items in the beautiful shade, since yellow looks to be popular for the season I’m sure they will. Speaking of yellow, I washed my new vintage tee on delicate and it came out better than I feared. :)
DeleteAfter receiving some sort of JC package at least 2 times a month for the past not sure how long, my hubby came home from the mall today and announced that he is now on the JC train. To my usual eye-rolling hubby every time there's a JC box at the door, Welcome to the love train!
ReplyDeleteOT but Victoria Beckham kills it lately. There's a pic of her wearing black pants, a button down and sweater on IG today and although the pieces themselves are elevated classics, the fit and how she puts it all together wow me.
ReplyDeleteShe just had her show at London fashion week! Saw it on Eva Chen’s insta.
DeleteI think the pic was from that show. I really like her more recent style.
DeleteI like some of the menswear-inspired looks she wears, and I also like some of the retro-inspired looks in her collections. I would have bought one or two of her Target collab pieces but all of the dresses were so short! I tried on one of her blouses in a department store last month (so I guess it was the VVB line). The pattern and cut were gorgeous classics, but it fit very small (I could barely get into the size 12), and I wouldn’t have been willing to pay $200 CAD for a polyester blouse.
DeleteI didn't know or realize she had a collar with target. I know her regular pieces are way beyond my budget and no need for my lifestyle, so I just take inspiration from her looks.
DeleteI think the Target collaboration was 2017? I remember hearing about it here on JCA and looking it up. I’m with you, no budget or lifestyle for her regular lines, but fun to look at.
DeleteG5061 Liberty Thorpe sleeveless top just purchased online at the Rack. $24.97 size 8. If anyone wants this I have 2 hours to cancel and release. Post if interested
ReplyDeleteinterested!! been stalking that one for a while!
DeleteJulie, it’s too late for me to cancel but when I receive it I can let you know when it’s on it’s way back for return if you’re still interested.
ReplyDeleteyes, please do let me know if you decide to return. Thank you so much Lynn. My email is julielion96 AT gmail if that is easier. Merci mille fois!!
DeleteDoes anyone know the difference between the button-up shirt in Japanese denim (K9810) and the Everyday chambray shirt (G7529)? I received the Japanese denim shirt but it’s a wide unfeminine cut; curious if the everyday is cut differently.
ReplyDeleteI haven't compared the two but I have the chambray shirt. It's not exactly a feminine cut either. Not like the slim perfect shirts. I think the difference is really just the material. But I haven't seen the Japanese denim version nor compared them side by side. Just my guess.
DeleteIt's funny I just got a chambray shirt that looks just like the Japanese denim, with the buttons on the pockets. Fabric is cotton and linen though. I also have an always chambray shirt and I sized up to a small and that's not any more feminine. I usually bring it as an extra layer for warm weather or for layering.
DeleteYeah, I find the chambray shirt cuts tough - they look cute online but when I wear them I often feel like an extra from The Shawshank Redemption. Maybe they need to be thinner/more broken in so they "flow" better? The best one I had was a perfect-fit shirt from years ago that was chambray colored but had the front and back darts. So not really chambray but had the look of one that was more feminine. Factory has one they call "perfect fit" (item J4720).
DeleteSorry Unknown, this is no help!
Thanks all! I went ahead and ordered the Everyday Chambray for comparison. I used to have a gorgeous J.Crew chambray button-down from about a decade ago and the fabric "flowed" perfectly. Alas, it got torn last summer and I've been on the hunt for a replacement ever since. ~ Erin
Delete@JulieTaylor, Yes, Julie I will post here first to let you know whether or not I keep it. Don't worry, I will stay on top of it and put your email address in my address book.
