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. It’s the witching hour and the retailmenot code is still working! I just reordered the collection silk-twill button-up shirt in jungle print for $35.70 and added several slim stretch perfect shirts at $17.85 each. *happy dance*

    2. I also ordered the ruffle classic popover shirt in Liberty Favourite Flowers (L6743) for $35.70 and
      the classic-fit boy shirt in end-on-end cotton in peri (J7801) for $17.85 last night. I doubt that I’ll keep them all, but I wanted to at least try them at those prices. People never believe me when I tell them I can shop at J.Crew for less than Walmart prices, but it’s true!

  3. I saw nothing at 4 am but they added more. I only see scores in the shoe category. Urbanstem is no longer stacking

    1. URBANSTEMS is still stacking - you need to be logged in for it to show up. So many good deals on shoes - I tried to restrain myself. Picked up the two tone vintage straight jeans, white peplum button up, sleeveless chambray tie front top and cerise ankle strap sandals as well as the snakeskin stella sandals in the silver/ivory combo.

    2. PSA the driving moccasins in suede in cobalt blue and pink are now $29.99. With promo FRIDAY and URBANSTEMS $15.29. Needless to say I ordered them (in pink)😊

      Delete
    3. Ugh, yes I ordered shoes I have no room for. The driving mocs in cobalt, the jacquard mules, and suede stacked heel pumps. At 15.29 I couldn't say not. Also got my husband a few things to try: a white linen shirt at under $10 and the denim short sleeve sweater. The sweater was $25 in the early morning, but back to $85 now. Oh, and I ordered myself a roll-neck unisex sweater for $10, but now it is back to regular price too. That one must have been a mistake, we'll see if it gets cancelled.
      I'll send my stepson a linen shirt if he wants one. And my stepdaughter shoes if she sends me her size before they sell out.

    4. Ack! THANK YOU ANNE! Sorry for my false information! I got 4 pairs of shoes and had a 10% code to stack so I’m happy enough.
      I was in the mood for deals!! Didn’t need shoes but I’m happy with the purchases and really looking forward to those snake stella strappy heels.

    5. @fleur de lys - Thank you! I ordered the driving mocs for only $15.29! I already own one pair that I bought for $41 and I thought that was a good price, but this is a steal!

    6. Cheri - happy to help! Pretty sure the ankle wrap suede sandals are going to make it in to my cart before the day is done...

    7. I got the peony driving Mocs too. Not my usual style or color but I like it for spring and have plenty of accessories that match.

      Delete
    8. @jeanne I couldn’t believe my eyes when I that the driving mocs were only $29.99. I went back on forth on them earlier as I love the pink color but not sure if I would wear them that often, too casual for my office. But for $15 I couldn’t not order them

      Delete
    9. ok, sooo do I need the driving mocs too?! LOL. Also just added the black bow slides to my cart...so much for one order. I can't imagine how they're even staying in business at these prices :/

      Delete
    10. LOL I got those liberty wrap shoes even though I had to size up to try them. Also got the snakeskin stellas, the peony mocs, and penny sandals in stripe with glitter heel! It was a no brainer for not being final sale items!

      Delete
    11. @Anne - The driving mocs are really nice IMO. I already own the brilliant sapphire and I love them. The color is beautiful. I’ve gotten so many compliments! I was concerned that the pink would get dirty, but at this price I can invest in a can of suede protector spray. I’ll be watching for markdowns on the remaining colors.

    12. I am weak. Ankle wrap sandals, pink driving mocs and black suede slides purchased. Apparently had some rewards too so I practically stole them. I bought five pairs of shoes today. FIVE. Send help.

    13. @Anne lol. We will be twinning in our pink driving mocs

      Delete
    14. I’m weak too and need an intervention! I bought 6 pairs.

    15. Yes @Jeanne, I'm buying some suede protector too. I also ordered the Nordic boots a few weeks ago (under $15!) and need it for them as well.

    16. Seven. I think I have a problem. I’m hoping some don’t work or cancel.

    17. I too caved on the driving Mocs in pink earlier, I really hope my usual size works. Do they run TTS?
      I was trying not to order things I don’t need but failed today. I also threw in some things on sale for hubby. Wish full price had a better promo. I hate paying shipping $12 for Canada but I couldn’t pass on the shoes.

      Delete
    18. After reading all the comments about the driving Mocs I caved and bought the peony color & the liberty ruffle neck top in flora belle
      I can imagine wearing the top with white jeans & the peony driving mocs
      these prices are crazy! This is my 3rd order today we’ll have to do an

    21. @fleur de lys Great minds think alike😂 that shirt was what swayed me towards the peony color shoes - we will definitely be twinning at some point

  4. Today’s “surprise” for me was that items that have been on sale for weeks are now back to full price. It’s getting as bad as the J.Crew Factory pricing rollercoaster. Nothing for me today I guess.

    1. It's completely nuts and shows no rhyme or reason. Least none I can sort out.

    2. And they’re also not discounting some items on the CDN site again, such as the Perfect Tees. Hard to imagine how they make these decisions.

    3. @shopgrrrl I wonder when the clown car will stop again and more crazy pricing decisions will be made.

  5. Add me to the list of people buying shoes they don’t have room for. Got the gingham Mary Jane flats for 16.xx. I wishlisted them awhile ago and forgot. I didn’t have the patience to go through the entire sale section so I just went through my wishlist and bought whatever was eligible for the promo and not FS. Stacking the retailmenot code gets pretty close to 50% off.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Score one for the Canadians! At 10:30 on the western side of Canada I saw the 'Friday' promo while watching Kimmel. The Wallace & Barnes cotton vintage embroidered full-zip sweater was on sale plus the additional 40% off. After looking at this retro styled track jacket for weeks I quickly clicked. Added in a short sleeved rugby polo and it was only $90. This morning the track jacket is back to regular price with a cheesey 15% off. I'll never get their pricing strategies .... or lack of strategy.

    1. @jcrew guy I'mm glad you found the great sweater. I bought my husband the short sleeve sweater that was $25US this morning then back to full price $85 later. Also a white linen slim-fit shirt for under $10.

      Delete
    2. @pbanos the constant parade of price changing is so tiresome. I can't understand the business logic of it. The Wallace and Barnes sweater is $179 today less 15%, yesterday with the promo it was $63 for me. JCrew linen slim fit shirts are awesome, I have a few and love them.

  7. Spent an inordinate amount of time trying to reduce the number of items in my cart. It's hard to remove cute $20 shoes and blouses (not final sale!) and I was not very successful in my efforts to be disciplined.

    I am not sure whether to hope the deals ship or I get the dreaded "update" email telling me that they didn't have enough...

  8. Same TORONTOModern.
    I also found the best deals in shoes. Looked for simple blCk/white tops/tees but didn’t find what I wanted and was tempted by a few other things (gold cashmaere sweater with fuchsia stars?!) but showed restraint...if restraint means buying I don’t know seven pairs of shoes? Only one is final sale and they’re mules so fit should be ok.
    I do think some things are priced higher than previously.

    1. I was tempted by the cashmere stars as well! So cute and such a good price...

    2. I know, and I like yellow but prob not so flattering next to my face. I don’t think I’ve worn it since the ‘80s.

  9. If anyone needs basic tees, the slim perfect fit tees are $15 plus 40% off plus the URBANSTEMS 15% - total cost $7.65 each. Definitely ordered the cobalt driving mocs, what a fabulous price!

    1. I bought a few of these a couple weeks ago at the same price. That is a good price. But I do not like these as well as prior versions of the perfect fit tee. The sleeves are longer and the fabric is rougher. I'll keep them but am not ordering any more colors. I still had to order up a size from my usual S to get a flattering fit. The S fit, but I found the close fit to look cheaper than the M which is a bit too large.

      Delete
    2. @pbanos - I ordered a few perfect fit tees last time at that price, too. They've been a long time favorite of mine. I actually prefer the current longer sleeves over the cap sleeve style short sleeves of a few years ago, but I wish they hadn't cut the torso length. I've spent my life searching for tees that are long and slim rather than short and boxy. They're so hard to find!

      Delete
    3. Ladies that prefer shorter sleeves - Nordstrom Rack sells the regular short sleeve version of J Crew’s perfect fit tee. I saw both solids and stripes yesterday at the store & I believe they are online also.
      Jeanne, I hear you re: short & wide. I have a long torso - I need the length! I’m sure I get strange looks when I’m in store measuring up all the tees against each other to find the longest one!

      Delete
    4. I’m glad to know I’m not imagining things! I ordered a Perfect Tee back in the crazy January sales but didn’t bother to try it on as I already have several from a few years ago. Then I ordered two more last week which I did try on immediately and was surprised and disappointed by the new fit. I expected and welcomed the longer sleeve length, but was so disappointed by the shorter torso length (I’m 5’9”). I also agree with pbanos that the fit is just a bit smaller, which looks okay in the navy, but terrible in the yellow. I might keep the L as a layering tee, but size up to an XL for wearing on its own if they go down below $10 again.

      Delete
    5. @shopgrrrl, I’ve only ordered a white perfect fit tee around Xmas (I have many great ones from last year) and noticed it was thinner, more sheer and felt diff than my white one that’s about a year old. Very disappointing to hear about the shorter length too. I love the thicker cotton of mine from a year go or so, I bought so many colours now I hesitate to order more.

      Delete
    6. I just ordered a white perfect fit tee two weeks ago. The one I received is thick and not sheer. It is also not short. The older one I have in white is definitely thin and sheer; I only use it as a layering piece. I guess it depends on whether you get shipped older stock or new. The stamped “label” inside the shirt is also different.

  11. Last night I was at J.Crew store—it’s about an hour from my house—to do some exchanges

    I saw the cobalt driving Mocs for $29.99 and thought “Wow! what a fabulous deal!”

    They also had one peony moc, but not in my size.

    I thought the manager was Super Duper nice when she ordered me the peony in my size, to be shipped “free” to my house

    BTW as of last night all colors were still listed at the “sale price” Of $120 on the website

    Now I’m annoyed at the manager—Is it possible she didn’t know the Mocs would be 50% less a few hours later?!

    It’s not so much the $— they’re a great deal at $29.99 and an insane deal with the two codes—

    It’s the

    1. Awww, I understand your frustration! They are still great deals! I can tell you with certainty that when I worked there we had no idea what the promos were until we got there (to the store, very early) that morning. If the manager was so nice, I bet she actually felt bad when she saw the promo this morning, if it's even in stores.

    2. Stamp your feet in frustration, then admire the cute shoes. I don't think the associate knew. You could return and reorder...that will be the price J Crew pays for no more price adjustments on sale times.

      I'm glad to hear you like these, I just ordered the cobalt blue.

      Delete
    3. Ha. The cobalt and peony are both $91.99 in my store today with no additional percent off sale. Pricing games should not be in play for in-store merchandise. I would hope once they're marked down they're marked down for good!

      Delete
    4. @Alyssa Oftentimes the price on the box is not the price it rings up for. That means even it if says 91.99 on the box it will show up the cheaper price once they are rung up during checkout.
      @52 reasons Promos drop early morning,so the manager could not have known the new promo.

  13. Well, I couldn’t help myself LOL! Ordered shoes and clothing that have been on my wishlist. Looking forward to silk jungle print hook up, orange linen skirt, pink linen trench dress and peony mocs. Also reordered a few things with new PA policy.

  14. For the 1st time ever, I ordered the hubby some stuff. I actually was looking for the denim shirt for me but the prices were too good to leave the items when I saw his sizes (and not mine, Oh, Shucky Darn!) But of course, I did order the sapphire driving mocs. Who could resist those cuties, and I had a reward to redeem on top of the discount.

    ReplyDelete
  15. As many people that have ordered those driving mocs, the site still says "in stock". They must have had 1000s of those in stock. Even QVC's numbers go do after an hour of a great deal!!

  16. Thanks for the reality check, Cheri and Ina :). After I had my tantrum, I ordered a back up pair in the peony b/c it is such a lovely color! pbanos, thanks for directing my attention to the brocade mules--those had to come live with me, too....

  17. Sale is at 30% today... No more incentive to look except I did notice that New Balance and Superga sale shoes were included which they aren't always. I think I am good for now!

  18. I actually did well yesterday, spent way too much but was able to email my VPs with snapshot from my phone that o tool overnight: and she priced matched the prices during the witching hour. Got 2 Cameron pants for $28 each and liberty shirt(white and pink flowers)$30, and navy suede pumps for 85... pair of wide pants with for my daughter for 24.... YAY...
    On the bad note my return is lost.... it Was a large box with multiple orders.... very annoyed...

  19. Excellent customer service yesterday after I had a problem w an online order. I was trying to place an order w the “Friday” code plus educator discount and the web site wouldn’t allow me to enter either one. I placed the order and called CS and he promptly applied both without even asking for verification. Two second, cheerful process and an email summarizing the price changes a minute later.

    I wish J Crew would realize that even though their merchandise has become pretty ordinary, great CS can still elevate the brand and they shouldn’t cut corners there, too.

    2. Mommy & I both wore J Crew for her Mother's Day brunch, which I held yesterday to capture the beautiful weather. She wore an embroidered pullover, and I wore Liberty/Tretorn navy/white floral sneakers, and 'almost' matching navy/white floral tissue T-neck, and white skinnies. Plus I wore my grandmother's earrings. My husband wore JCrew as well, a collarless button-up shirt.
