I don't think it applies much to J Crew customers. I don't always wait for things to go on sale, but if I do it's because I refuse to buy at the high full price. The shoes are a great example, I will not pay $275+ for a pair of shoes. The markdowns actually draw me in to buy things I would otherwise not buy.tamara.chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897696857151633520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48570038966513708722011-04-13T00:06:02.297-04:002011-04-13T00:06:02.297-04:00Extra 30% off Final SaleExtra 30% off Final SaleJustVisitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656188832783701628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-91682135993210463182011-04-12T23:06:59.474-04:002011-04-12T23:06:59.474-04:00^ above, by "broken" I meant that the ho...^ above, by "broken" I meant that the home page jcrew.com wasnt working.

My eyes are always drawn to their prints and fabrics. <br /><br />Just this week I got daring and purchased the Men's Gingham Button Down XS (I'm a 2 in Women's) and I LOVE it. I get a little retro, true borrowed from the boys vibe. <br /><br />Besides the vibe the fabric is what I really love about it. Thicker than the womens, not just a hanging tissue without structure. The collar doesn't fall and the buttons are just a bit thicker so they don't mysteriously unbutton all day as I am toting baby and bags around. <br /><br />Since I was on a roll I ordered a crewcuts boys tee because I needed a white tee and couldn't help but wonder why they can't use the same fabric for the womens line? It is soft, not heavy but not to thin (read transparent). I just want to know if there are really any women out there wearing just a plain white tissue tee from the women's side? (I can't stomach seeing every part of my unders through my tee)? <br /><br />I guess you could say I took borrowing it from the boys seriously this week. Maybe this should have been a comment on the last post! : )MegCrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749008268323578897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71593497292325647762011-04-12T17:24:43.409-04:002011-04-12T17:24:43.409-04:00Total OT, but still makes me laugh every time I se...Total OT, but still makes me laugh every time I see it:<br /><br />Product Short Desc - Please update at the product level <br /><br />spotted here:<br />http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~29396/99102133747/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~15~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~cobblestone/29396.jsp<br /><br />Found it by searching "cobblestone."

The SEC is such a joke, it's crazy that Mr. Drexler can so brazenly say he doesn't regret breaking any rules but there are no consequences, so why not?<br /><br />The thing is, he's right. Taking the company private is absolutely the right move, especially in the wobbly retail climate. I'm comforted that J.Crew is making the correct decisions right now. I wish they'd been a little more sensitive to stockholders...but what's done is done. I look forward to the company being out of the public's critical eye so that they can focus on a return to quality and engaging design.roxyturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175313932217919783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48611139276615527742011-04-12T15:45:22.383-04:002011-04-12T15:45:22.383-04:00I agree, dinster -- he's gotten a little too b...I agree, dinster -- he's gotten a little too big for his britches and he needs to think before he speaks, to consider what customers might think about his flippant attitude. I think sometimes people who came up through the ranks of traditional B&M retail tend to forget how informed consumers are now and how many ways we have of sharing information. Maybe 10 years ago we wouldn't even have known he made such comments. But things are so very different today.<br /><br />I admire what he's done; he's worked very hard to get where he is. But all his $$$$ is being made off of working people's backs and wallets -- he'd be wise to remember that.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193483506777142971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-75379035223001921732011-04-12T15:35:38.247-04:002011-04-12T15:35:38.247-04:00Linda, Thanks for the feedback on Crew Clothing. ...Linda, Thanks for the feedback on Crew Clothing.
