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. Noticed there are new Ratti Collection pieces out in silk and cotton. What’s your take everyone? Not crazy about the large ruffles and some of the patterns aren’t attractive to me at all. My humble opinion

    1. I'm not a ruffle kind of woman, doesn't work with my muscular square shoulders. I'm also not a fan of some of the latest Ratti prints, though I like the lilac floral this summer. The block color prints left me cold. With you on missing Drakes prints.

      Delete
    2. @Lynn, for some reason I can’t pull up the new Ratti items. I’m not into large ruffles either, it looks like overall they’ve made a lot of tops with ruffles this season. I agree with you and pbanos about bringing back Drakes prints! I keep hoping for beautiful prints to return.

      Delete
    3. @jan, they pulled a fast one again. Probably put them up too early and then discovered they shouldn’t have been there until whenever. I saw them at full priced and preorder with arrival not until Dec. One item I was able to retrieve was AT672 collection pull on silk pants red chains print & shows sold out. Not true. I couldn’t locate the Ratti ones unfortunately The company has previously done this with many items.

      Delete
    4. @jan, they’re not showing up under the item number. This came out of my history. Sorry

    5. Hi Lynn, that’s happened to me before. Recently I preordered the vintage pjs in black Stewart plaid, then they disappeared from the site. I received them beginning of Nov and then maybe a week later they appeared on the site. I hope that your items work out for you!

      Delete
    6. Hi Jan, Thank you. I didn’t preorder anything from the new silk or cotton collection. I did reorder the autumn tweed pink multi jacket AR 428 for 34.01. The first one I ordered I paid was about 41.00. They took 20% on this last order because of the credit card promo. It’s a gift for someone and an excellent price. I haggle all the time with CS, or any company for that matter; sort of a game for me. Some might be ashamed to admit it but I’m not:) I’m happy I can pass on nice things to people especially when the price is right! I wish you were getting big deals up there. 30% off is stingy for them. Perhaps for Black Friday they’ll pass something better to all of you. Hope so. Have a nice weekend. Still here in Fl. Ugh!

      Delete
    7. @jan, OT. Did you ever inquire about using a shipping agent? Have an idea. If you would like me to order some items for you I could ship them from here to you as “Used personal items”. Then there’s no import duty. Happy to do it for you. Let me know.

      Delete
    8. Hi Lynn, that is so so kind of you, thank you so much! I appreciate the offer, I won’t bother you right now. I did call the ups shop just across the border and they said they can combine boxes and ship to Canada I would pay the shipping fee plus duty depending on the value. I used to order to Florida when we’d go for our yearly trip. I’m worried that this spring/summer we may not get to go again depending on the pandemic.
      I hope that you get to your next destination safely and easily.
      I’m not sure if I mentioned it but I received the autumn tweed pink jacket and am very happy with it. Love the colours. Thanks again for your review on it.

      Delete
    9. @jan, you’re welcome. I don’t know how much duty you pay. Let me know. Will be have to do this. No trouble. If they take the tags off etc they can be classified as worn items. Have a very nice weekend and again let me know. It’s no trouble at all

      Delete
    10. @jan, I’m sorry I did t congratulate you on the autumn tweed jacket. I’m sure it looks very pretty on you. Very well made too. Enjoy wearing everything in good health and happiness

    11. The Ratti paisley, at least on my monitor, looks more like something from Lands End. No slam on Lands End, I've ordered casual things from time to time, but definitely a different vibe from what I expect from Ratti. Maybe the print is not as subdued in real life? Like the chain print but orange is second only to citron and mustard for making me look like I have a liver disease when worn close to the face. A skirt would be nice.

      Delete
    12. @Lynn, thank you so much! The offer is really appreciated! Did you keep an autumn tweed blazer for yourself as well? Hope you and Tango are doing well!

      @Mary G, def agree that it’s unexpected for a Ratti print. Thank you @Lynn for mentioning the new arrivals that are now online.

      Delete
    13. Mary G I agree with you, maybe in real life the poinsettia paisley looks more bold. The orange green purple melting floral reminds me of Halloween. I think the print is unique and mod but I wouldn’t wear those colors.
      The chain print looks designerish but I don’t do orange or coral near my face either.

      Delete
    14. Actually the melting floral reminds me of a bad 1970s tuxedo. Maybe it’s supposed to be ironic.

      Delete
    15. Suz Has, Agreed on melting floral. Those of us who lived through the 70s, no matter how young, were scarred by some of those polyester prints in for life.

  2. Someone had mentioned this recently. Keep your checking your bags where items were shipped to you. I have received 5 $10.00 coupon codes. For thos of you interested in cashmere items and other items CARDLOVE can be stocked.

    1. I got one of those coupons! They work fine as a second code. The cashmere sweaters that were on promo are back to regular price! I did pick up a pair of navy Kiki flats for $10 with $10 coupon!
      Wondering Black Friday will bring better prices!
      I have black cashmere pointelle sweater and 2 pairs of Peyton pants on my list! But waiting as I am expecting some gift cards for my BD next week!

  3. Canada has SALE30 which gives 30% off on selected sale items. Better than nothing...

    Can anyone tell me what your recent experiences have been with Liberty slim perfect shirt sizing? I've always found them tight in the shoulders and under the arms and had to size up at last one, possibly two sizes for ease/comfort. How are you finding the recent sizing on these?

    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. very small in arms, shoulders, did not work for me. at least one over regular perfect shirt, two over boy shirt.

      Delete
    2. Funny, because I just checked and when I purchased my last Liberty shirt it was called "Perfect shirt in Liberty®" Little Marquess (black multi) print Item AR564 but it's now listed as "Slim perfect shirt in Liberty". I always take a size 2 in these and have not noticed any difference in sizing. I do have long arms and sometimes need to size up for shoulders, but not in Liberty shirts.

      Delete
    3. I have the Perfect shirt in Liberty®" Little Marquess (black multi) print Item AR564, and it fits in my 'usual' size, does not have the skinny arms that the slim fit does.

    4. @TorontoModern, I was happy to see some kind of promo but really want a full price one. A lot of sale items are final sale, not great for buying gifts. I hope we get something decent for Black Friday.

  5. Toronto JCAs - visited Yorkdale this past Wednesday but will not be going this weekend due to Monday’s lockdown. Store was still 50% off everything in advance of their closing in late January but not sure how the upcoming 4-week closure will impact this. None of the Xmas pieces had arrived instore when I was there, and given they will not reopen until Dec 21 who knows what will be there. Mall traffic this weekend will be like December 23 as everyone tries to get their gift shopping done before lockdown! Stay well everyone.

    1. @cagliari67, I was thinking of you as I know you live in Toronto. I hope that all is well. I’ve actually ordered from Yorkdale over the phone a couple of weeks ago, they are so lovely there I’m so sad for the staff. I’ve been trying to buy more but as you said they are slow in receiving merchandise lately. I too was wondering how the lockdown will affect them. I wonder if they’d do curbside? Such a tough time before Christmas for the lockdown. I’m in a ‘yellow’ zone so feeling lucky so far. I hope things improve for Toronto.

      Delete
    2. Thank you Jan! Thankfully I live in a very low-incidence neighbourhood of TO, so we are doing just fine. I am SO sorry that the Yorkdale JCrew will probably have to close Monday, during the spring lockdown they were not open at all so I doubt they’ll be doing curbside pickup since there’s no way of ordering online from them. I agree, the staff there are just wonderful and I’m feeling such empathy for them. Such terrible timing for a lockdown, they ought to have done it a month ago! I imagine the mall was crazy busy today, I know my high street was. For now I’ll just be looking at the JC website and hoping our one little store manages to open again before - and after - Christmas.

      Delete
    3. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well. I honestly wonder if the lockdown will even help since it seems most cases are from big gatherings, parties, weddings. I feel so badly for the businesses and staff. Hard to imagine the Yorkdale store closing for a month then opening for only one more month after. Take care, hopefully December will bring good news.

    1. I have the opposite combo and I do like them. I got them at end of summer! I did pick up a pair of the current version yesterday with my $10 coupon for only $10. I will leave them at work and I think I can get lots of use! I had no idea they are black and ivory

      However velour joggers A778 are marked $44.50 with 50 off plus 20. It’s not going through but they did do a adjust for me. $17.80 per pair! I seem to need joggers with work form home! My daughter is remoting her freshman year in college as well! So grey and navy for both of us! And one pair for my mom! I think it’s a good price . But I really wanted additional 20 off . Ughh. Rules lol

    6. AT778 is the style number for the joggers! Sorry

    7. KATE where is your daughter going to school? Mine is remote as well but she rented an apartment in her college town for fall semester to make the best of it.
      I saw the joggers this morning but didn’t look closely because I find them cold inside, I think I tried them last winter.
      I also have the kikis in ivory with black toe and sand with gold toe that I first painted black, then red, after my girls scuffed the gold. Right now I’m waiting for my eldest to custom paint a design on them which she’s been doing to stay creative over quarantine. A fun way to update a classic shoe and make them more unique.

      Plan was dorm And then it felt through! Manhattan ghost town lately. Star sucks closes at 6 pm. She is set her mind for next year to leave the house. But it’s Hard to predict what’s going to happen. I don’t think city Manhatan schools will reopen any time soon. They overfilled and building are very old. It’s depressing for the kids! But safe for me! She is home, no commute, no huge parties. No covid hopefully!! Lol

    12. I got a package today (super sale tissue tneck I’m the navy white dot print) and there was no coupon, but I got a free great deals this week so can’t complain. My little boy loves boots and I picked up Sorels for $22! Plain white tees for my bf for layering, $3 each. And those low heeled olive green suede boots for less than $50.

      Went to the store today to check out sale and try to use my birthday rewards. Left with nothing but a poor mood (just kidding, but I was disappointed to leave empty handed!).

      Love to read all your posts, feeling extra grateful for our community.

  8. Thanks Lynn for the heads up about the new arrivals. The Ratti prints in Poinsettia Paisley (which does not look Christmasy) and the mod Melting Floral are up now. The non-Ratti silk shirt and pant in Red Chain print (which looks more coral or orange) are catching my eye. I especially like the look of the chain print shirt. Nothing in jewelry or shoes is really speaking to me and I sure don’t need anymore holiday tartan shoes.

  9. OT but I ordered the new Everlane half zip mockneck sweater. It’s merino but almost like a boiled wool, thick. It’s called oversized so I was originally going for XS but that sold out and I got the S and it’s fine, a little wide but not huge. It’s pricy but considering the material content, if you like the shape. I am considering it almost an investment piece but it’s much more reasonable than comparable sustainable brand sweaters I’ve seen. The zip neck is tight but I thought worn slightly open it’s perfect for one of my colorful JCrew silk scarves peeking out. The zipper is silver (I would have preferred gold) but it’s not so shiny that it makes a statement.

  10. Striped perfect shirt with jeweled buttons
    Item AU269
    Color: NAVY STRIPE
    Inside label says Slim Perfect Shirt
    Is not a Navy looks more like a dark gray or faded black. Comes with an extra button. They should have included a lot more. The buttons are sewn on as if I had done it. I flunked sewing😂 really loose and the buttons are cheap looking. This one is going back as fast as it arrived.

  11. Ribbed cashmere V-neck cardigan sweater Neon Fuchsia
    Item AR944 Beautiful!! A keeper. I sized down one size and the fit is perfect. Hits me at my waist. I am high waisted. It soft, one of my favorite all time colors and doesn’t look sloppy. It’s not as wide as it’s on the model. I think it looks better as far as the fit. The V neck is so nice and I will wear it without a tee or tank. I’m a 34D. For reference I paid $100.00 tax included with a promo. If there’s another promo I may order another color. That’s how much I love it. It’s a winner at least for me.

    3. Would like to see 60% off and be able to use CARDLOVE with it. That would certainly make it more affordable and people might purchase multiple colors. Would order the Heather Muslin. VPS mentioned the other day that the Neon Fuchsia was the most popular followed by the Heather Muslin.She’ll tip me off if she hears anything and I will post here.

    4. Lynn, I didn’t even notice that cardigan until you mentioned it. Based on your recommendation it’s now on my wish list. I have a long torso but since you mentioned it works for you I think it would be fine. The pink is gorgeous! It’s $308 Cdn which is crazy, prices used to just reflect the exchange rate but that’s more.

      Delete
    5. @jan, wow that’s absurd. The Neon Fuchsia is a little darker than the original but beautiful. No way I would pay more than I did for this even though it’s beautiful.

  12. No store visit for me this weekend. I did receive the Ruffleneck classic-fit boy shirt in stripe. I sized up and that was the right call. It will be lovely tucked into skirts in the spring but not sure it works for a drapey top with jeans. I think I will keep. A bunch of stuff is in my cart but nothing compelling me to buy. I really want to order my kiddos some new stuff but sale prices haven’t been great. Hoping for a BF deal!

      There's a good tip the the reviews that you should tack down through the waistband in a couple of places to keep the elastic from twisting in the wash. Plus I'd wash inside out so they don't pick up lint.

  25. Are fellow Canadians waiting/hoping for a better promo on Black Friday (Cyber Monday) or are you going to go ahead with the 30% off?

    Last year, I don't think they had anything special on either day for Canada. I keep pretty good (but not perfect) records of my shopping and I think the best we've gotten during the whole pandemic is 30% off purchase.

    What strategy will you be following?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi TorontoModern, I’ve been going through the same thoughts. Wondering and hoping for better on Friday but I think last year was 30% off. I decided to buy the Nordic boots at 30% even though it pains me knowing how much cheaper they are in the US. I know I’ll get use out of them though.
      I’m going to wait until Friday for a couple of things ie jeans that aren’t low stock or pressing because 30% is a let down.

      What are you planning?

      FYI for Toronto JCAs Yorkdale is doing curbside. I don’t think they can do send sales during the shutdown.

    2. Hi, Jan

      I've been planning on buying more tissue turtlenecks for a while. In the good old days, I would be paying less than $10 Canadian each thanks to the amazing discounts we used to get, so it's a little hard to adjust to the new pricing, which is a little ridiculous since even today we are not talking about meaningful amounts. I also feel like I need to be efficient with the $14 shipping fee so I've been holding back. I'd love to get more Liberty shirts, but it's been hard to reconcile myself to the current pricing. (And of course I don't need anything...) I am almost grateful to J Crew for their new Canadian pricing as I have really cut back!

    3. I meant to post in reviews about a tissue turtleneck that I received. I think it was you asking about sizing, I apologize if I’m wrong. I received the ivory one and it’s consistent with the sizing from last years. It’s very very sheer though so I’m going to use it underneath and not on its own. I think that colour was on sale when I bought it.
      I agree about the shipping fee. I try to place big orders to get free shipping on the $250. I always pay PayPal so return shipping is covered by PayPal. I’ve probably used that 5 times this year and am grateful for it.

    5. Hi Amahendra, just sign up for the return shipping on them program in your PayPal account (it’s free) and then after you make a purchase if you return something you’ll see the option to request a shipping refund if you click on the original transaction. It’s up to $30 shipping and I think it’s up to 12 times per year. Since JCrew charges $30 now this makes shopping there much more attractive. It’s easy to send the documentation to get your money back.

    6. Hi, Jan

      I've used the PayPal refund service before (which is great and I still don't know why they do it), but I have mailed back on my own through Canada Post. How does the J Crew return service work? Can you generate a return label on your own or do you have to call Customer Service. Is it UPS return only through J Crew? Thanks.

    7. Hi Toronto Modern, you call CS and they initiate the return and email you a UPS label and paperwork. Unless there’s a defect or something the $30 shipping charge will be on your email from them. That’s the proof you’ll use for PayPal. JCrew deducts $30 from your refund. The $30 doesn’t appear on the paperwork for customs just in the email from JCrew. UPS returns usually arrive back in a few days, they go to Pennsylvanian and lately JCrew has processed them a few days later. Much faster lately although holidays might slow it down. HTH

    8. I should mention not to claim your shipping refund until the return is processed. JCrew used to send an email saying it’s processed lately they don’t so I use the original return email from them. I also attach a screen shot of the email from PayPal saying I have a refund from JCrew and PayPal has been accepting those two things as my proof.

    1. Wow, I check often and have ordered a few things in the past but I can’t believe some of the deals. The tread trainers are my best fitting sneakers. I paid $50 which was a great price, I can’t believe they’re $20. Too bad my size isn’t available.

    I like the demi boot cut crop cut. Hoping these are the same as the ones I bought last summer but am nervous about the final sale . . .
