J. Crew Extra 40% Off Sale Items Clearance

By | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.

Extra 40% off and Free Shipping on Sale with code LOVEIT

*Note: This appears to apply to not just final sale, but all sale items.  Expires 7/26/11

The graphics are a little misleading.  At first glance you might think that the code LOVEIT will only take 40% off an item marked “Final Sale.”  Final Sale items are the very ends.  The bottom of the barrel.  And that means you can’t return or exchange it.  But we took the liberty of testing out the code on a few plain ol’ regular sale items, and the 40% discount still works.

The code gets you free shipping too.  A pair of suede bucks went from an on sale + shipping charges price of $162.50… to $88.80.  That’ll work.  The code expires Tuesday, but by then the selection will be decimated for sure.

J. Crew Corded Cotton Sportcoat in Ludlow Fit – $71.99 ($148)
Striped, light, easy to wear.

Medium, Large, and XL still available at posting time.  Guaranteed to be the item that goes the quickest.  Seventy bucks shipped for a J. Crew sportcoat?  Guessing that hasn’t happened since 1995.  Final sale.

 

J. Crew Leather Railway Bag – $119.99 (reg. $298)
Looks good, but will it hold up?

“Built from supple but brawny genuine cowhide… it’ll take anything you throw at it.”  We’ll see.  J. Crew’s reputation on messenger bag leather quality isn’t the best, but that’s based pretty much on the strap issues of their canvas bag.  Original retail price for this bag should hopefully mean the leather is much, much better.  Final sale.

 

J. Crew Suede Bucks – $88.80 (reg. $168)
Not just for summer either.

The already referenced bucks.  Gotta love them in grey too.  Especially with jeans.  Traditional looking toe, not super sleek, but lookers all the same.  Doesn’t appear to be a final sale item.

 

J. Crew Vintage Utility Deck Jacket – $52.80 (reg. $98.00)
A good football season companion.

The hoodie upgrade.  An expensive upgrade, but a big upgrade.  Shawl collar, hook and eye closure, looks beefy and tough.  Speaking of tough, those hooks will probably be hell on your other clothes in the washer and dryer.

 

J. Crew Striped Watch Bands – $9.00 (reg. $20.00)
The impulse buy.

Yes you can buy one of these, for nine dollars, and it’ll ship free.  Four color/striped options available.  3/4″ wide.

 

Baird McNutt Linen Shirt in Slim Stripe – $29.99 (reg. $79.50)
August. Right around the corner.

Irish linen fabric, shirt’s made in China, $80 was a huge reach for a shirt.  Now just $30.  Lots of sizes.

 

J. Crew Linen Cotton V-Neck – $41.99 (reg. $98)
Not tiny.

The linen lessens the heaviness while the beefy v-neck and 5-gauge knit means it’s still no lightweight. More of an in the woods or unexpectedly cool morning sweater.  Final sale.

The J. Crew extra 40% off sale and free shipping code LOVEIT is set to expire on Tuesday 7/26

  3. What the good sir Chuck *meant* to damn was his (and my) “freaking utter lack of fiscal discipline, making us well-nigh powerless to resist.”

    Step 1: admit you have a problem…

  5. Which is slimmer down the leg: regular or classic fit?  Specifically on the wool bowery pants.  Are these suggested?

  6. not sure if this is the case w/ other items, but some things aren’t even listed as “sale” items, but clearly are… example, solid watch straps: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/accessories/necessaryluxuries/PRDOVR~19474/99102499069/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~90~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~solid%20watch%20straps/19474.jsp

  7. Step 2: Make the purchase, justify it in your mind, feel guilty, and go back to step one… (repeat)

  8. I’m going to stay away from J. Crew luggage in the future. I bought the aforementioned rugged twill briefcase in December and the leather parts of it are falling apart. The strap split into two.

    I contacted J. Crew and they said if I shipped the bag back to them, I would get some sort of gift card in return reflecting the current price of the bag (I think it’s $78 now?). I’m going to do that, so if anyone cares, I’ll post an update on if it works.

  9. Classic fit is slimmer, but not what most would call slim. For that you’ll want Urban Slim. Regular, depending on your build, might be too roomy. I’m pretty average (comparable to Joe’s measurements), and the classic fit works really well.

  12. There’s sale, and then there’s final sale.  Regular items it won’t work on, but plain ol’ sale items it will.  Sale items you can return, final you can’t.

  14. That deck jacket is tempting. They also have a similar version on sale in grey, although I’m leaning towards the navy color.
    But after you pointed out the possible washing problems I’m a bit hesitant – how big of an issue do you think it would be?

  15. Not real sure.  But I have visions of those hooks getting torn off in the washing machine.  Since it looks like a bigger outer layer, you could tread it more or less the same way you treat a blazer.  Never in the washing machine.  Steam it to refresh it, send it to the dry cleaners every once in awhile.  You could always just hand wash it from time to time too…

  17. Sweet! http://www.jcrew.com/mens_factory_category/allnew/PRDOVR~43658/99102354029/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~P_saleprice%7C0~205+16+4294966731~90~~~~~~~/43658.jsp

  18. Washing it by itself might help, but I think Joe’s suggestion would be best. It probably isn’t that high maintenance that you can’t easily enjoy it.

  21. I bought them in grey and I’m thinking with dark levis a black belt could work. With khakis or any other color chino, probably have to find a grey suede belt. Here’s some ideas: http://www.bonobos.com/store/item/berge_grey_suede_blue_stitch  or for a more modest approach”: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=868298002&tid=onaff2178999&ap=2&siteID=onafcid89

  22. My deck jacket (the one Joe mentioned) arrived. Very nice. Thick fleece and a deep navy.
