STYLE40 = 40% off J. Crew.com Sale Items + Free Shipping no min.
UDPATE: If you’ve been itching for something on the J. Crew Factory site, they’re doing 30% off site wide and free shipping, today (President’s Day 2/18/13) with the code PRESDAY. Not bad.
And the winter clearance season continues to roll on. Despite the use of the word “final” in their graphics, the extra 40% off code STYLE40 appears to be working on all sale items on J. Crew’s website, not just those marked final sale (which can’t be returned.)
Meanwhile, if you’ve had your eye on something that’s not on sale but you’ve hesitated because standard shipping under $175 is $8.95, J. Crew is offering free shipping on any order, no minimum. Just have to pull the trigger by the end of Monday, 2/18/13.
Danner Vertigo Boots – $173.99 ($320)

Ooof. Been on the radar for quite awhile now. But some of us who like to get out and hit the trails might already have too many boots on hand. Incredible looking. Made in the USA. Lots of sizes. Unlined so early spring isn’t that bad of a time to consider investing. Now almost half off. Awfully tempting.
Non-Iron Gingham Dress Shirt – $46.80 ($88)

Nice that these ship free. Lots of sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) at post time and in a standard navy gingham. Description also seems to imply that these’ll move and feel a little bit better than cheap, scratchy non-iron shirts.
SLIM non iron dress shirts in micro-tattersall or banker stripe – $46.80 ($88)

And these are available for the same price as the gingham, only in J. Crew’s slim fit. Zoom in on the micro tattersall in “roasted pepper”… you’ll see that there’s some blue in there. Also available in a violet bengal stripe. These shirts are hitting quite a few in the Top 10 Hierarchy.
Ludlow Sportcoat in Khaki Cotton Twill – $94.80 ($158)

Huh. It’s not every day that a standard J. Crew item drops below it’s Factory cousin in price (Factory option is labeled as a suit jacket, and this is a sportcoat, but… whatever). Not available in a more versatile navy color, but if you’re a sportcoat/blazer honk, an option like this is real easy to wear with jeans (or as the J. Crew stylists show here, some off white pants & a blue shirt.)
Cashmere V-Neck in Heather Coffee –$119.99 ($225)

Still expensive, but J. Crew Cashmere has a pretty good rep. A few other colors available, but they’re all bright. A medium to dark brown like the heather coffee can be a foundation for your sweater collection, if you’re the type to drop this kind of money on cashmere.
“Lagoon Blue” leather card holder – $15.00 ($29.50)

The perfect odd-ball card holder for those of us who prefer to dress in a mainly dark, minimalist style. One bit of flash every so often, especially at $15 shipped, is a great thing.
Harrington Suede Bucks – $83.99 ($178)

Limited sizes and only in this khaki color, but $84 shipped for a spring/summer buck ain’t half bad.
Orange Striped Pocket Tee – $23.90 ($45)

Praise be to the pocket tee. $24 is still pretty expensive for a t-shirt (not quite tricked by bizness levels yet… sorry… obligatory), but the orange stripes and pocket help set it apart from underwear.
Ludlow Sportcoat in Harris Tweed – $316.80 ($548)

Okay big spender. That’s a lot for a blazer. More than half a grand retail is nothing to sneeze at. Just showed up in their sale section. 3/2 roll for the buttons, and while the description says it’s “bird’s-eye”, it sure looks like a herringbone. Patch pockets, double vented back, lots of extra details. About as “sporting” as a sport coat gets. Still a ton of cash, even on sale.
Alden Shoe Paste Wax – $5.50

Well, if they’re gonna offer free shipping.
The Extra 40% off sale items on JCrew.com code STYLE40 expires on Monday, 2/18/13.
Thanks Joe, got the sport coat and the wallet (couldn’t resist)
Random style question, but how do we feel about wearing a tie bar with a tie that’s not quite tight up to the collar as in the picture of the khaki Ludlow blazer?
Huh? I think the photo shows the “correct” way to wear one. You arent supposed to wear it right up the the collar.
Speaking of navy gingham, I got the JCP one linked that other day for $15 and its pretty nice. It is definitely slim, I sized down to 14.5 like I normally do for dress shirts and its noticeably smaller in the shoulders and chest than the “normal” billowy dress shirts. It looks good but I cant really move (theres no box pleat). Going to try 15.
I think he was referring to wearing a tie bar with a loose tie. I for one don’t like it. You wear a tie bar to complete a crisp look but wearing your tie loose kinda defeats the purpose.
I think he’s referring to the loosened tie, not to the position of the tie bar.
The only time I loosen my tie is when I head home from work after a long day. Not a big fan of the loose-on-purpose necktie in general.
Picked up the card case, willing to take a bet on that for $15. Also got a purple vertical stripe shirt thingy and a white crew neck sweater with horizontal lines thingy. $100 total. DOPE.
That khaki sportcoat is fly as hell but I just couldn’t do it. I’d never actually wear it.
Just clicked on the Ludlow sportscoat Harris Tweed, which took me to the Australian page (as I’m in Australia.) Here’s what I find:
was $758, now $730.
In case J.Crew happens to read this (rest assured I will contact), SCREW YOU. I will never purchase from your site. What possible justification could there be for charging almost 40% more for the full price, and 130% more for the sale price?!?!
This price doesn’t include shipping of $10. What a rort.
Couldn’t pass up the card holder. Definitely the color stands out.
Same thing happened to me when I tried to order something from Frank & Oak. They’re based in Montreal, so when I was about to complete my order I was charged ~$100 for taxes. I joined their Hunt Club just to avoid it.
