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. Wanted to share that the 15% off code for online orders is still working as of today 12/31/21. Code is: SMP3F8YJ It worked for me when I entered it FIRST, before the current promo code YAY2022. If it doesn't work, try another browser,or play around with it, it eventually does work.

    2. The code that I have written down is SMP3F8JYJ.

  2. Caution about applying promo codes. I placed an order with the current promo and CARDLOVE and the system overcharged. Evidently I’m not the only one and I waited 10 minutes so they must be very busy. So play with these 2 promos see what comes up before ordering.

  3. summit parka (BA541) would be $77 after double promos... I was looking at the heather opal color. Just can't pull the trigger based on reviews and sizing questions. Not sure if I need at 6T or a 4T. Fabric doesn't look that nice. Did see it reviewed on a blog somewhere and it didn't look that great. Jan 1 is the last day to add the "cardlove" promo.

  4. Decided to try camel cashmere dress since store had it in stock. It definitely runs big. I would recommend sizing down at least 1 size. Cashmere is a nice weight and it can be worn belted or without. Will work well for the office. Planning to style with a silk scarf and heels. Trying to show restraint and avoid ordering deep ruby too. A local meteorologist wore it during the evening news broadcast and she looked great.

  6. Happy New Year!
    Ordered two cashmere crewnecks at $65 a pop, and, I'm confused. The sleeves are not too tight! Yay. But the sweater itself feels huge. Like boyfriend style. Hits below my hip. The cashmere itself is soft and lovely and not itchy. I have no idea how to wear this, though, without looking like an orphan. I'm 5-2, 100 pounds.

    1. I can't size down - I ordered an XXS

    2. I guess you can take it to a tailor but you might not want to spend anymore money.

    3. You can try to shrink it. Handwash and then dry on delicate for a few minutes, keep checking…

    4. FlowerPower, call CS and explain. The measurements could be way off or mislabeled. I ordered a Navy Large to gift to someone and she normally likes her sweaters large. It arrived and it was too small. After speaking with CS for measurements it was determined it was mislabeled.

    5. Thanks everyone! I don't know about shrinking, because that may affect the arms. I'm intrigued about the mislabelling theory. There is just way too much fabric in the midsection area for this to be flattering, but maybe if I were taller it would work better. Shame because the color and wool are just gorgeous.

    6. @FlowerPower, It’s not theory, it’s a fact regarding the mislabeling of this item at least with the Navy color. It’s also occurred with other unrelated items in the past. I had discussed his with my stylist and she verified this.

  7. I’ve purchased more this month than I have all year.
    I do think fit is inconsistent and some fabrics are not great but there are a few winners.
    I like the relaxed fit shirts and reordered the Thomas mason tie neck (it had a pull and I returned it), the relaxed fit tuxedo shirt and the ivory plaid flannel after liking the red which I found in store.
    Yesterday in store I grabbed the leather Nordic boots and the clog boots in the clay color. Brown was my first choice but I actually really like the look of the nude pink/clay. Ended up ordering two pairs of Nordic boots for my mom after I told her how much I like wearing them for walks around the neighborhood in the winter.

    One negative though—I had gotten my mom two of the shorter ponchos that had stripes. I would never have gotten them due to the fabric but she liked them. Well she wore them once and not surprising she said they look like garbage. She doesn’t live near a store but I might have her give them to my kids when they visit and maybe I can send them back. They were not cheap.

  8. Just received an email with the heading: Two Birthdays are better than one.Happy Half Birthday because celebrating once is never enough. $10.00 off good until 01/31. Anyone else receive this? Odd

    1. I got one of those once. But nothing on my birthday?

    2. Hi Lynn,
      I did receive that email too! My birthday is in July!

      Delete
    3. I won’t be using the promo code online, since you can only use two at a time, and I like to stack the sale promo code with the 15 percent off. I’ll likely use it in store!

      I was also wondering if you could give me the email addresses of the customer service representative and stylist you previously referred me to for price adjustments? Or even the time of day you call them?

      I’ve tried calling both phone extensions, but someone else answers the phone. My time zone is EST.

  9. @Elizabeth, Hi Elizabeth call Dana at ext 53453. She will be in Tuesday morning. My birthday is in July too. I remarked odd because I received a $25.00 off in July and then another in November stating birthday. I think the Nov. one was for my husband and he nor ai never buy any mens JCrew.

    1. Hi Lynn,
      Thank you so much! I will do that! 😆

      Right, this is the first time I’ve heard of the half birthday coupon, it must be newly introduced for 2022! It’s just so unfair, to people who have birthdays before July, as they potentially won’t get a half birthday coupon.

      That’s interesting! If your husband doesn’t have a J.Crew account, I’m not sure why you received one for his birthday? But even if he isn’t as fashion savvy as you, you could certainly take advantage of J.Crew men’s sweaters! I get wool and cashmere men’s sweaters from J.Crew every year. They shrink over time and dryer usage to a more flattering fit. 😁

      Thanks again, Lynn!

    2. ElizabethP, No interest in men’s sweaters. Been a JCrew shopper for over 20 years. Have more cashmere from them in every color palette that’s it’s embarrassing. As for my husband not being as fashion savvy as me even in jest, that’s an incorrect assumption on your part. Not all guys like JCrew’s styles. He for one is not into the sloppy look that the company currently projects and is more into Ralph Lauren Collection items and Italian high end brands. We have a very unique lifestyle and the way we dress as others here do would tend to agree.

    3. I can barley get anything for my husband Here. Tshirts black
      Shoes form past years
      Maybe sweatpants
      I did pick up a blazer for him
      Waiting on suits
      Cashmere pants and sweaters all went back. I am done trying lol

    4. Lynn, that’s so great! How long do the cashmere sweaters last after regular use?

      I had no idea, I’ll have to check Ralph Lauren out! It’s great that you and your husband are such a fashionable duo!

  10. The vintage cashmere from years ago last far longer than the current ones of the last several years. Ralph Lauren Collection far better but far more expensive. Depends what you one want to spend. Depends how you take of these. Mine are wrapped in acid free tissue paper and stored in The Laundress Bags depending upon frequency of wearing. Our closets are temperature and humidity controlled so this plus are a part too. Always keep a cashmere comb ready, wash properly. Ralph Lauren Collection cashmere needs to be dry cleaned but I’ve washed those as well with The Laundress Wool/Cashmere detergent and they’ve come out perfect. Please read carefully, these sweaters are Collection not the RL Polo cashmere. Hopefully this helps you.

    1. Hi Lynn,
      Thank you so much for your input! I’ll have to see what the collection cashmere sweaters sell for on eBay! If you wrap them in tissue paper, then how do you know what color you have prior to opening the tissue paper and/or bag up? Is it a guessing game, or do you remember which color is where?

    2. Elizabeth, I have small sticker label with the name of the color and then are stacked. Ones that I wear more frequently are stored on Laundress shelf liner paper in drawers which are also temperature and humidity controlled. I tend to be fanatical taking care of my clothes but I’m still wearing items that are thirty years old and in perfect condition. This also includes JCrew apparel.
