The Rare Deal: A J. Crew Factory, stackable, “free” Gilt City offer

Gilt City:  Take an Additional 25% off at J. Crew Factory (allegedly doesn’t stack)

**UPDATE**

Thanks to Jeff L. and a few others who got their codes and sent along an email with not so good news.  Looks like your voucher code does, in fact, go in the promo code box.  So, stacking with another code appears to be a no go.  Which is honestly, a little strange, being that it clearly says: “This 25% off voucher can be used on top of J.Crew Factory’s already existing sales and promotions of up to 50% off.”  What’s a promo code if not a promotion?  Ah well, at least they were free, right?  A general sale might come up in the next week and a half or something.  Who knows.  Wool Thompson’s are still extremely cheap.

Three key factors here:

1.  “This 25% off voucher can be used on top of J.Crew Factory’s already existing sales and promotions of up to 50% off.”  Obviously huge.  If you can stack this with an upcoming code, there’s major potential to snag one of their new summer suits for a song.

2. It costs nothing to get a voucher.  You just “RSVP”. You click a button, Gilt says they’ll send you some sort of voucher number in the next 24 hours.  Assuming it’ll go in the “Gift or Rewards Card” field, which is a separate field from the promo code field.

3. “Valid through Sunday, April 21, 2013, 11:59pm ET.”  So, we’re on a pretty tight clock.  But worse case scenario is that another code fails to come along, and you never use the deal.  If that’s the case?  You’re not out any money.

jcrewfactory gilt city extra off

So what’s the catch?  Doesn’t seem like there really is one, but you do have to have an account with Gilt to access the offer.  Looks like that’s where Gilt is getting some value from all of this… they get your email.  Also, the fine print reads that it can be used with other promotions to get “up to 50% off”.  So if they run a 30% off code, does that mean you can’t use the extra 25% at all?  Since that’d equal 55% off?  Or will they just cap the discount at a maximal of 50% off and leave it there?  (Update:  Math is wrong there.  If it’s a $100 purchase, 100 x .70 = 70 … then 70 x .75 = $52.50. )

When does this offer come down off GiltCity?  And are there an unlimited number of vouchers available?  Word is, there might not be an unlimited number of these.  So… maybe want to hop on this.

J. Crew Factory isn’t running a code right now, but there are heavy reductions on their two wool Thompson suits (they’re separates, so don’t forget the pants), as well as the wool/poly blend Thompson.  The all wool is on sale for $216 right now.  An extra 25% off would drop it to $162.  That’s as good as it gets.  Full review on the all wool from back in July can be found here.

the more things change the more they stay the sameIt’s fused, but for $162?  (Thanks to Ismail and raptorrapture for the style tips)

    Noooooooo! When the best sales make it to Dappered, all the good stuff sells out quickly!

    Your math is incorrect.

    A 30% off a purchase code, with an extra 25% off purchase code comes out to 47.5% off your purchase, not 55%.

  4. Joe says

    April 10, 2013 at 10:24 AM

    Indeed. Fell into that mathematical trap again. It’s not 30% + 25% at the same time. It’s 30% off, then 25% off that reduced price, which since it’s reduced it’s not… well yeah, updated above.

    Was looking to purchase a blazer… but if this works with another code, might just be getting a summer suit instead!

    is it just me or does the color for their navy suit look different?

  7. Justin R.T. says

    Don’t forget, JCF raises their “listed” prices when they have official xx% off sales, so using this now might actually give the same discount.

    For instance, if they have an “EXTRA 30% OFF EVERYTHING SALE”, they will raise most shirt prices back to $49.50, so 30% off will bring them back to $34.65, which is roughly what they are right now. So the extra 25% from Gilt will likely be the same discount then as it is now.

  8. Eric Gauvin says

    April 10, 2013 at 10:55 AM

    This might only apply to their standard pricing since that is already a “sale” off of the “msrp”. Also codes wouldn’t stack like that anyways. you would get one saving then the other so if it was 30% off and then the 25% you would save 47.5% off the total.

    JCrew Thompson Grey Suit or spring for Indochino, who’s having a 10% + free shirt + accessory sale? Thoughts? Ultimately comes down to about $160 for the Thompson and $340 for the Indochino.

  11. Loren says

    April 10, 2013 at 12:21 PM

    I don’t think this is stackable. From the fine print: “Cannot be… combined with any other offer.” The code goes in the promo box also. Not sure how it works in store, but I also don’t think there’s a Factory store around me anyway.

  12. John Giardiniere says

    April 10, 2013 at 12:31 PM

    Anyone know if the Thompson suits come with room to be let out? to get the original factory one I’d need to do a 30/30 when I’m really a 31/30, and a 36s when I’m usually a 36R.

  13. diversification says

    April 10, 2013 at 12:35 PM

    Comparison question:
    The blazer from Banana Republic (like the tailored blue birdeye one) fit be practically perfectly. So do their wool tailored slim fit pants.
    .
    The Bar III slim suits from Macys also fit me pretty well.
    .
    Given that info, will the Thompson fit me or will it be baggier? My guess is that I’d need a decent amount of tailoring to get it to fit…

  14. Riggaman says

    April 10, 2013 at 12:47 PM

    Just got mine. It says that it does *not* combine with other offers.

  15. Michael Tovarez says

    April 10, 2013 at 1:08 PM

    Fine print in the email I received:

    just got an email saying 40-50% off all shorts and polos at jcrew factory, hope this stacks

  17. Mark C says

    April 10, 2013 at 1:21 PM

    Damn. Just spent $350 at Factory after 30% off with MOREPLEASE.

    Package should be arriving today.

  18. Joe says

    April 10, 2013 at 1:34 PM

    Yeah, I finally got my code and it looks like it does go in the box. Fine print has what appears to be conflicting statements, and the conflict doesn’t work in our favor. Damn. Updated above.

  19. Furious Styles says

    April 10, 2013 at 1:46 PM

    I just got mine; I’ll just have to print it out to see what the store can stack.

  20. Joe says

    April 10, 2013 at 1:47 PM

    It does look lighter on the J. Crew Factory website. Haven’t seen one in person since July, but while it wasn’t quite a deep, dark, inky navy, it wasn’t as light as it is on their site either. Wondering if it’s darker in person than their website, or, they changed the color? Not sure.

  21. Redford says

    April 10, 2013 at 2:15 PM

    Might be a good time to get some polos and shorts since they’re on sale without code.

  22. John says

    April 10, 2013 at 2:36 PM

    So does JCF just not do 40L for their jackets/blazers?

  23. A Griffith says

    April 10, 2013 at 3:29 PM

    It stacked on top of their 50% off polo shirts sale. I picked up 4 polos for $13.xx a piece. Thats a hot deal for any grade of polo shirt.

  24. Chris Powers says

    April 10, 2013 at 3:45 PM

    The codes ARE stackable. I got the email, as someone said below, pertaining to the 40-50% off shorts and polos. So the shorts (Gramercy) were on sale for $25 and I added the code to make them $18-something. Two pairs of shorts + tax + shipping came to $44-something.
    CODE IS STACKABLE

  25. Chris Powers says

    April 10, 2013 at 3:46 PM

    It worked just fine for me…

  26. Justin R.T. says

    April 10, 2013 at 4:34 PM

    Thats not what stackable means. You only used one code, because the sale prices were already marked down on the site. Stacking means using multiple codes at once.

    So if you would have had to use a code to get the 40-50% off your shorts, you wouldn’t have been able to then use the 25% code on top of that.

  27. Justin R.T. says

    April 10, 2013 at 4:40 PM

    Thats not what stackable means. “Stacking” means using more than one code at once. You only had to use one code because their 40-50% off prices are already marked on the site, so you didn’t need to use a code for that.

    If you needed a code to get the 40-50% off, then you wouldn’t have been able to use your 25% code on top of that.

  28. Alex J. Schwartz says

    April 10, 2013 at 5:04 PM

    So I could stack it on a 50% off weekend, ex: the one that just past?

  29. Andrew says

    April 10, 2013 at 5:35 PM

    Time appears to have run out for this. I was able to checkout and received a confirmation email, but then promptly received another email indicating that the “item is out of stock.” I guess that’s what I get for not being on earlier. Oh well, my wallet can breathe easier now.

  30. Foxxblood says

    April 10, 2013 at 7:25 PM

    I just went to my JCF outlet store and they accepted my code at the register in addition to there current in store promotions. I think this is the way to do it if the code is not stack-able online. I purchased some Chinos that had a 30% off promotion and then they took off an additional 25% =) They had some suite separates that all had a 20% off listing but nothing in my size =(

  31. Zilch says

    April 10, 2013 at 7:48 PM

    Correct. 🙁

  32. Riggaman says

    April 11, 2013 at 4:26 AM

    Joe, I was just in the brick and mortar Factory store the other day, and the wool suits are the same lighter navy color as before. I suspect that JCF had gotten some complaints about the shade, and wanted the picture to be more representative. The cotton piqué suit looks lighter online now as well.

  33. Alex Graber says

    April 12, 2013 at 9:28 AM

    Can’t stack but you CAN order more than one. Accidentally did this twice and got two, sent one to my GF. I bought the grey Thompson factory suit last year but was aggressive with the pant sizing, even with them let out :/ Gonna use this on suit separate pants and get that thing back in the rotation for work. Can anyone confirm if the color of the grey is the same

  34. Miles Benton says

    April 12, 2013 at 4:49 PM

    Thank you Dappered! New Seersucker suit in 44L, 34/34 for under $200.. now, where to wear it?

  35. Tseten Dekhang says

    April 13, 2013 at 10:48 AM

    the stuff is already lower than normal…usually they hike up the prices when they do sales like Justin said…but this is one of their better deals…Got button down shirts for $20….these are like Gap’s F&F discount prices…too bad they are one time use because I saw something else i liked right after i clicked the confirm order button…
