Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} 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 stopped by a J.Crew store this past 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 was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

  1. Friend arrived with the Red totes, Dalton Herringbone linen/cotton blazer and the Dalton Italian stretch wool blazer etc. I thought about keeping one because I have red Kikis and old Italian made Cece’s in the same color but these totes have a terrible odor to them. Awful!! I have no idea what they were treated with but terrible. Perhaps if they’re exiled and aired outside it will dissipate, but not confident. The attachment is chintzy but can be rectified by replacing with a scarf. Anyone who pays more than $30.00 after this post and is unhappy don’t forget you were warned. Jackets are cute lining is ok but not impressive. They’ll work for me. The herringbone one will work when it’s cooler with white jeans or blue jeans. The wool one runs large but I intentionally purchased a size larger to wear shirts, cotton, featherweight and regular cashmere gauge sweaters underneath. Price was fine because I used rewards. No more purchases as I’m waiting for the next launch and there are so many beautiful things here I’m trying to exercise self control. Not easy my friends😂

    1. Thank you for the details!

    2. You’re welcome. Totes were in plastic bags and the handles were wrapped in paper. Blazers were shipped nicely with hangers and wrapped in plastic. All items were shipped in boxes which was a good thing.

    3. Thanks for the reviews Lynn. Are these the AH945 carry all tote or the AW046 Large carryall tote in pebbled leather?

      Delete
    4. Shopping Celle, AW046 pebble leather large carryall tote. As I type this they’re airing out on my balcony. Keep you posted.

      Delete
    5. @Shopping Celle, it’s been several hours now and he order has dissipated somewhat. Not nearly as bad as before. I’ll continue to leave outside. Wanted to add bag is made in Cambodia. Does it appear to you that Jcrew is having more and more items manufactured outside of China these days? Hope so. Have a nice day!

    6. Lynn, thanks for sharing the feedback on this bag and sorry to hear they're disappointing. I had the red one in my cart when it was marked down with the 60% off but definitely not paying $100+ now. I miss the days of the blazers having beautiful linings (and I still have several). Cautiously optimistic for fall and winter.

      Delete
    7. @Anne, Odor has dissipated significantly now after being left outdoors all day. Let me stress again, it’s not a bad bag for $30.00 and it is lightweight. The red is such a nice color and red certainly is a popular color right now and into fall and winter. I will keep one for use as a shopping bag simply because I love the color and the size is large enough to stuff a lot of items into it. It is leather so again for $30.00 it’s decent.

  2. This is from my little birdie:
    Found out about a few pieces with the new August launch on 7/27/21. The color palette will be: cypress green, dusty ivory, mauves and peaches, faded indigo, and washed blues.

    The Featherweight Cashmere Slim Crewneck Sweater (item BA040) will be ribbed and will have a left chest pocket. It will come in Heather Natural, Heather Petunia, Heather Spruce, and Ink Navy. Price is $128.00. We'll be offering a Pull-on Camp Pant (item BA291). It's the fall version of the Seaside Pant. It's a little thicker and more structured, with chic front patch pockets. We're offering a new denim fit - the Classic Straight. It will come in several washes, as well as, Garment-dyed Cotton. It will have an 11" rise and the leg opening will be slightly wider than vintage straight. Some of the styles are:

    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Jean in Buoy Wash (item BA650)
    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Jean in Honeydew Wash (item BA653)
    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Jean in Scuttle Wash (item BA656)
    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Jean in Charcoal Wash (item BA659)
    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Jean in Rinse Wash (item BA665)
    High-rise '90s Classic Straight Carpenter Jean in Natural (item BA668)

    While I don't have images, this is what I've been able to find out so far, but if I find out anymore, I'll let you know.

    1. 11” rise? No thanks. I can’t stand the 10” vintage straight jeans I ordered on super sale. Guess I’ll be looking elsewhere for jeans this season. The legs on the vintage straight jeans are plenty wide enough IMO.
      Thank you for the updates. Hoping to find things to love and spend my gift cards on.

      Delete
    2. That’s so funny, I guess we are all shaped differently. 11 inch rise is great for me, just below my belly button. And vintage straight jeans I have tried are all tight on the leg, almost like toothpicks until below the knee. if I size up the crotch area gets too loose. It’s basically why I’ve stopped buying most jcrew jeans and pants.
      I hope they carry some of the new jeans in store so I can try there before I order.

      Color palette doesn’t excite me but it never really does. As long as there is some black and white I will be fine. And I look forward to the red mentioned a few days ago.

      If the red leather tote finds it’s way to the $30 mark again I will have to get it for me and my girls. Mad that I hesitated.

    3. Thanks for the update, Lynn. I'm with Suz Has that the 11" rise is great for me, but those colors sound dull. Maybe fall will be better.

      Delete
    4. Kinda hate hire rise! Feel like it comes up my diaphragm and suffocates my breathing lol

      Delete
    5. A few years ago I did a side by side comparison of jcrew 8” rise toothpick vs Everlane 11” high rise skinny and on me the 11” is much more flattering. What my girls didn’t want I have listed on posh so if anyone is needing 8 or 9 inch rise I have plenty! 😜 but I totally understand how someone with a shorter torso or less defined waist might not like them.

      Hopefully stores will still carry a variety of rises so everyone can feel comfortable and find their most flattering pants.

      Delete
    6. High rise works for me too. The relaxed look will still be evident for fall. Colors aren’t grabbing my attention As for jeans I’ll stick with what I have skinny, high rise, mid-rise and especially my Levi’s 501’s. I do like some of the wide leg jeans as long as the fit is perfect in length and not large in the crotch as I’ve found some of them to be. The cashmere is not grabbing my attention so if anyone sees it when it’s released please post. Colors seem too drab for my personal taste.

      Delete
    7. I also meant to say that I’m curious about the camp pant. I hope it’s a nice material. I want a structured casual black pant since I gave most of mine to my girls.

    8. Yikes, mauves and peaches?! I look dreadful in pastels… I guess I will be holding out for the holiday releases which will hopefully feature some brighter jewel tones.

      Delete
    9. I guess my body type doesn’t work with J Crew’s high rise jeans. 25” waist and long torso/flat rear end. It’s just too much fabric and then I get a “fwup fwup” sound from the excess denim. Mid rise looks better on my pancake rear. 😉

    10. 😂 true story: I grew up next to a girl who was a few months younger than I was but we were about the same size. Except she had longer legs and no butt and I always had a little butt. As a joke (sort of, I guess) her mom always told me I had a fat ass. Well no one would say I had a fat ass but hearing this over my lifetime it totally gave me a complex. It made me kind of self conscious.
      I have to size up for my “fat ass.” 😜 now at 51 I feel like I am finally appreciating it.

    11. Oh Suz, I have been the butt (pun intended) of family jokes for years. Wish people would think before they comment on appearances. The hurtful stuff stays with me. I’m old now though and now say if you don’t like it, don’t look!!!

  3. I went to the store today! 2 items returned! One final sale item and one not. No issues at all. Sale was 40 off and select reg items were 25 off. Did not look at anything. Had yo get to work!

    1. That’s good, maybe they are easing up on final sale returns. I’ll still buy carefully but if something is really off won’t hesitate to try and return or exchange.

    2. @Suz, you can always pull out your red Longchamp bags and by the way, they have another red out

      Delete
    3. Lynn, that’s why I hesitated, because I have several red longchamp bags! I saw a new campaign this morning with lots of fun bright colors.
      My red leather longchamp already has some scuffs on the edges and I have barely worn it. I think from now on I’ll stick with Le pliage in nylon. For my work bag I ordered an insert from Amazon. It fits the large longchamp perfectly and would be great for travel too.

      Delete
    4. Thank you for the reviews and intel on future releases, Lynn. I missed out on the red tote. I was hoping to get it monogrammed and give as gifts. Suz, I was hoping to get one of those Amazon inserts for my tote. I think I will use it more often if I do.

      Delete
    5. @Suz Has…I am still scared of final sale. They put me through hell last few times. So I am cautious too! Maybe having smaller returns and less items is better then large returns! Not sure!!!

      I have Amazon insert for my long champ and just got one for my new tory. They help with structure and organization. I have the felt one for my long champ and leather Tory perry tote and just got a silky ones with zippers for my Ella Tory ( green with flowers)

      I missed out on the red bag too… I saw the light creams color in store, it seems decent!
      I did get the Navy long tote I returned it. that’s how I ended up with new tory when they had their 25 off sale items

      Delete
    6. @Suz, That's why I made the comment about your Longchamp bags! I missed out on that one with the stripe you have. I love the nylon Le Pliage ones most of all, they are lightweight practical, & I have many that have whimsical patterns. They continue to serve me well on a daily basis. Wanna swap the striped one for one of my Jcrew red totes:)

      Delete
    7. Lynn, the stripe one is the personalized one. I’m surprised they are not doing them anymore. It was such a fun way to get the colors you want. I also got ithe leather embossed with my initials,”SHH” so you probably don’t want it. I love the monogram too but their type options were not as fun as some others I’ve seen so I kept it simple with the embossing.

  4. @Kate, I am still cracking up over your comment about the high rise jeans/pants. I bought 2 pairs of Veronica Beard H/R jeans. The color was the perfect dark shade but between the H/R up to my boobs, my belly not cooperating in the jeans and the extra long length, I was D.O.N.E., and had to return both pairs. Possibly, just my story...

  5. What brand are these felt and nylon inserts by Amazon please? Thank you

    2. Thank you Kate. I got a few to give as gifts at Christmas. Will air them out :)

      Lynn, I haven’t purchased an insert yet. I am still looking. Also check Etsy if you want to avoid the Made in China Amazon stuff.

      Delete
    3. Now I am contemplating on the bag. Do I need it? Lol

      Delete
    4. Can’t add the creme color to bag. Ughh! What does the pocket inside looks like on the red bag? Thanks

      Delete
    5. @kikigrl, thanks so much. Have a wonderful day!

      Delete
    6. @Kate, off white and the zipper attachment is red.

      Delete
    7. Those inserts on Amazon what item numbers are they please

      Delete
    8. I got this one for my work bag, I like the look of the felt better but thought the nylon would be better for this purpose.

    9. I tried adding other colors of the tote to my cart early this morning and they were full price. The smaller leather tote was $52 for the brown. I was tempted to get the red but only one of my girls would like the red and I really don’t need it so I passed. I really am trying to not accumulate more stuff.

  8. medical care is what many people lack in the interior areas of the world. people face a lot of health issues everyday without solution. Weed, can help you recover shortly. However, marijuana has always been a perfect remedy for ill health. Nevertheless, carts may also help.
