Use code OURTREAT for an extra 30% off J. Crew Sale + Factory
Code expires Thursday October 27th. Watch yourself on those “final sale” items which can’t be returned.
Indeed we just did this. It was only a few weeks ago that J. Crew ran one of these extra 30% off Sale / Factory codes, and it was then that it seemed as if this would become a once a month thing. And now they’ve gone and done it twice this month. ‘kay. Part trick and part treat maybe.
The good news is that we all get an extra 30% off if we’re in the market for something like the items below. The bad news is that the next time you want something from J. Crew’s lower FACTORY line, you’re probably best waiting for one of these sales. Lots of new stuff from Factory, and all items from Factory ship free…

Factory Blackwatch Tie – $20.65 ($39.50)
Already on sale and with the free shipping it drops to the price of a tie from thetiebar (including shipping from them.) A not emaciated 2.75″ at its widest point. Wool poly blend in a particularly fall and winter ready pattern.
Factory Lambswool Suede Palm Gloves – $18.55 ($26.50)
Maybe your budget isn’t allowing leather gloves this year, or you maybe want a backup pair for when leather gloves look out of place. Under $20 shipped for black lambswool gloves with a contrasting brown suede palm will more than satiate that want. Also available in grey. UPDATE: These actually aren’t on sale on the Factory site (while the rest of the site pretty much is) so they aren’t available for the 30% off. They do ship free though. Credit Adam (and Adam) in the comments for noticing.
Factory Bags: Laptop – $45.15 ($69.50) | Weekender – $61.60 (98.00)
At this price you’ve got to wonder if one day you’ll be walking through an airport, all of the seams will give way at once, and your belongings will go rocketing out onto the concourse forcing you to leave your bags unattended (TSA will have your rear for that) so you can pick up your gear that landed half way into some overpriced generic t-shirt shop. Or maybe they’re built just fine, and with decent care they’ll last plenty long. Looks great for the price.
Factory Sweaters: Merino Striped V – $34.65 ($49.50) | Lambswool – $31.15 ($49.50)
The FACTORY solid merino might be one of the best, most affordable sweaters of the year (they’re plenty smooth and fit decently through the sides with a close to perfect V depth) but the fact that you can get a striped version, or, a warmer more casual Lambswool crewneck for around the same price is certainly worth a mention. Over generalized sweater fabric breakdown utilizing NES Ice Hockey player types can be found here.
J. Crew Selvedge Twill Sportcoat: Black – $139.99 | Navy – $104.99* ($278)
This could have made an interesting “would you wear it” item. Has an interesting look to it. Ludlow fit, but the lapels on the black in the photos look even skinnier. *NOTE: This one is weird because the Navy is a FINAL sale (no returns), while the black appears not to be. Limited Sizes available in the Navy.
J. Crew Sherpa Lined Fleece Jacket – $61.60 ($98.00)
Has a bit of a Carhartt look to it. Now available closer to a Carhartt price with the code. Proof that clothes which would look most appropriate raking leaves don’t have to look terrible.
J. Crew Point Collar Gorham Check Dress Shirt – $41.65 ($79.50)
Down to a reasonable price and available in neck and sleeve measurements. Speaking of, a good size selection is available but count on them to move pretty quick. Maybe.
J. Crew Suede Bucks in Grey – $90.99 ($165)
These are a final sale item. Barring any particularly nasty weather, you can pull off bucks during this time of year as long as they aren’t gleaming white. “Rockface grey” which is the color these claim to be, should do just fine.
Also worth a note: The Factory Thompson Suit (still says ship date is January?) and Factory tweed sportcoats are also, as always, on sale. The 30% off J. Crew Sale and FACTORY items code OURTREAT expires Thursday 10/27.
Been waiting for the price to drop on the laptop bag for a while ago. Free shipping sealed the deal!
s/ago/now/
Does that laptop bag only have…one handle?
For most of my sweaters, I like to size down so that they fit nice and snug but if the Factory Sweaters fit well through the sides, do you think I should still size down? Never owned any J Crew Sweater before so not sure how slim they are.
I just bought a couple of their sweaters, one merino wool and the other a cotton cashmere blend. I bought smalls and they fit great! I’m 5′ 9″ 135 lbs. They’re very snug and perfect for layering over a T-shirt or button up. Hope that helps!
aargh, that ludlow wool jacket….must…not…purchase…
Nope. Two.
in the main photo it looks like two, but in the photo of the bag opened up I only see one…
anybody have any thoughts on the laptop bag? I remember reading that the bags from the regular j crew line fell apart quickly so I’m hesitant to try this out since there’s no factory store near me for returns. would love it in a lighter color though, it could be a poor man’s filson…
Sadly the gloves aren’t on sale and thus not able to use the 30% off…
FYI, the gloves aren’t a part of the sale. I tried to pick up 4 pair for Christmas gifts. The discount doesn’t work on them and when I went back through the sale section they aren’t in there.
Huh. Weird. I honestly didn’t even notice that those didn’t get the usual couple of bucks markdown to activate them for the sale. Much appreciated, I always thought all of Factory was on sale when they did these things. Thanks Adam (and the other Adam below)
Yea that’s what I’m seeing too! I saw the bag in person the jcrew version and not the factory version briefly in store and it looked like it only had one handle back then as well!
How are J.Crew’s Sportcoats? I’m looking into buying a sportcoat, and dont really know where to start.
Really like that blackwatch tie, but I’ve bought too much stuff lately already.
I’m 5 10 and about 137-140 lbs, but unlike Adam, I wear XS in wool & cotton cashmere. Never bought merino wool, but I figure it’s the same. I find small too boxy around waist and it’s just too much room. Very similar to other brand’s small as far as mid-section is concerned.
Yes, it can feel a little tight around shoulders and upper back at first (and arms if wearing long sleeve shirts) with XS, but over time, they stretch and it’s fine. I am curious on how it Adam with similar height and waist feel small snug; maybe I have really a thin torso.
I have both of those bags. Well actually, the laptop one isn’t exactly the same but very similar. I have had some problems with the edges on the straps fraying off and the strap connection points to the canvas starting to separate too. The weekender bag is the absolutely perfect size for a well weekend trip. I just went on a four day trip and it was perfect fit for my stuff and for the overhead bin.
Only one I have experience with is their Ludlow cut. It fits well, assuming you’re somewhat in shape (average or better). sleeves tend to be a little long, but then I like my jacket sleeves shorter. thankfully, they’re usually non-functioning buttons, so they’re alterable. don’t pay regular price; figure out what size you are, and either buy used, or wait till the end of the season/for an inevitable sale.
So do you recommend the bags? How long did you have them and how much use did you get from them before the straps started coming apart?
I see. Thanks for the advice. Well I’m a smaller guy so I’ll have to check up on the sizes.
Oh, and I wouldn’t dare buying it at full price, but this 30% off sale seems to be pretty good…Either that or I’ll wait for another sale to pop up.
is the selvedge jacket considered a spring jacket? i don’t mind picking up a of jacket now for spring / summer now since the price appears good but just curious if it’s appropriate.
Just got the factory version in the mail – the construction is definitely not up to par. They’ve replaced the leather strap with a nylon one, and it seems like theyve replaced most of the leather trim, like the base, with pleather. The twill also doesn’t have much weight. I’ll try taking this home tonight and loading it up, but right now I’m not sure I’ll be keeping this.
