WEDNESDAY = Extra 40% off Sale Items at J. Crew (exp 7/10)
J. Crew will run an extra 30% off sale items code every few weeks, and it’s a great time for those of us on a J. Crew Factory budget to jump up and snag something from the top line. This time around, it’s an extra 40% off with the code WEDNESDAY, but just for one day. Watch out for final sale items since you can’t return those. Picks are limited to items with at least a decent size selection at post time. But things can go quick.
Italian Chino Ludlow Center Vent Suit Jacket + Pant = $267.60 ($456)
That’ll do nicely. Being that the fine striped cotton is on its way back, might be time to consider this one. Word is (thanks to you guys in the comments) that the fabric is a bit on the heavier side, but much softer. Bemberg lining, great construction, etc… You’ll have to scroll down a bit for the pant. And these certainly don’t appear to be “final” sale. Despite all the graphics saying “extra 40% off final sale” items, the code seems to work on regular sale stuff too.
Oxford Cloth Sportcoat – $136.80 ($248)
Kentucky Derby meets the woods. Made from Italian Oxford cloth, but takes plenty of details from sporting/hunting style jackets. 2/3 roll closure, patch pockets, and slightly wider lapels than their standard Ludlow. Unconstructed. Fabric is woven in Italy. Careful with these, since the fits aren’t as exact as the 36, 38, 40, 42 sized blazers and suit jackets.
MacAllister Brickman Boots – $88.80 ($158)
Stitched out welt, Italian suede uppers, and a red brick rubber sole. Simple but all kinds of right.
Made in Italy Striped Cotton Knit Tie or Pindot Cotton Knit Tie – $35.70 ($69.50)
Of course there are cheaper alternatives, but $35 for a well made tie doesn’t seem too off base. Perfect for that upcoming summer wedding, or, injecting some warmer weather style into your look once fall rolls around. Striped tie is 2.5″ wide, and the dotted tie is 2″ wide. Both made in Italy.
Cashmere Crewneck Sweater – $89.99 ($225)
FINAL SALE. So, no returns. But that’s actually not too weird of a color. Usually J. Crew’s cashmere sweaters have to be of the Rainbow-Brite collection to end up in the sale section
Harness Buckle Embossed Edge Belt – $34.80 ($68)
A buckle that’s just different enough. Made in the USA.
Indian Cotton Shirt in Regular or Slim – $39.00 ($65)
Not a bad looking Madras-like shirt. Button down, chambray lined inner collar, and available in slim or regular.
Broken in Pocket Tees in Regular or Slim – $13.50 ($24.50)
Sizes and color selection are a bit all over the place, but not a bad free shipping balance tipper if you end up close to the $175 threshold. Which, is a lot.
Ludlow Irish Linen Suit Jacket + Pant – $389.80 ($456)
Damn. The jackets aren’t in the sale section (yet?)… but the pants are. And with the 40% off the pants, the entire suit now dips under $400. Ships free. These are incredible. Will need a bit of tailoring at the sides for most, but the fabric and construction is outstanding. Worth it under $400? Depends on your budget and how much you’re going to wear it. The jacket, especially in indigo, goes fantastic with jeans. For price comparison sake, if (and it’s a big if) the jackets ever end up in the sale section, the entire suit would dip to the low $300s with an extra 30% off code.
The extra 40% off sale items code WEDNESDAY expires today, 7/10/13. Also, it looks like they’ve gone back to $8.95 flat rate shipping. That $5.00 lower rate was sure nice while it lasted.
Huh, those Brickman boots are $172 when I follow the link, did that just change? They must have gotten wind that you were featuring them, Joe!
Check it again. I just got the lower price
So, if the item isn’t marked as final sale but the code works, can I still return it later? I’m thinking about grabbing the Chino Ludlow, but hesitant to pull the trigger if it ends up being final sale because the code worked…
Anyone had any experience with the Branson loafers? There are a few bad reviews but for under $100 with the code I might take a flyer. Do they fit TTS?
Unless the item is specifically marked as final sale (it’ll be marked both in the item description and in your shopping cart), you’ll be able to return it. Even if the code works.
Damn, my jacket size is 35, so I don’t know which way to go on these Ludlows. I would love to get one…
Thinking of pulling the trigger on the khaki-colored italian chino suit from first pic. Any warnings or anything I should be aware of?
The sale prices in store are much lower than on the website for some items. I just grabbed 4 pairs of chinos for $12.99 each in-store during the 40% off 4th of July sale last week. The same pants on selling on the website in “on sale” for $60+ right now, plus the 40% off. Check stores if you can before ordering online.
I found the Italian Chino jacket (size 40R) to fit much roomier than my Ludlow wool suit jacket in the same size, which required minimal tailoring. The Chino was very blocky, not unlike Joe’s Fine Stripe suit that was featured yesterday. I’m sure some tailoring could fix it, but I was disappointed based on my previous experience with Ludlow suiting. Also, in person it was more of a stone/light tan color than the grey that appears on the website. That may be a deal breaker, as I already have a light tan cotton/linen suit, which I wore today and the wifey commented “isn’t that the same color as your new suit?”
Something you left off this list, the Indigo slub polo, in navy. I just got it on sale last week, and, besides being delicate, it’s amazing for under $40.
Are you saying that the grey colored suit actually looks light tan in person?
I ordered grey jacket and pants during the 4th sale. It should arrive today so I’m interested to see how it looks.
Yep. It’s confusing, and I’m not quite sure why J. Crew splashes the word “final” around in all their graphics myself…
Just re-checked, still $172. I’m thinking there must be a currency conversion (I’m in Canada) happening behind the scenes which is odd because it still specifies USD.
Its grey, but leans towards the tan side of grey rather than blue in my opinion. Granted I only had time to look at it in the light of my closet last night, but I found it very close in hue to a BR Factory cotton linen suit I have in Stone. If it fits and the color matches your expectations then its a great deal.
is this final sale only if you use the code? I thought items had to be .99 to be final slae at jcrew? Like the oxford cloth but I cant take the risk if its nonreturnable
Mad respect to Joe…. But Uniqlo is running an incredible sale on two similiar blazers in this post – fine striped cotton and cotton/linen navy blazers for $30! I bought both in extra small and they are both incredible bargains that fit well. Tail is a bit chopped but I actually like that being that I’m fairly short. Stock up on some summer blazers – I can’t pass up a bargain and got 6. I have problems.
wish i could try these on
for those buying the italian chino suit i still have plenty of pants left. check my other comments. 55 dollars shipped. even on sale they are going for 90+.
im just waiting for the moment those linen jackets go on sale
what size pants you wear? i got a few of the wheat ones for 55 shipped
Joe, youve tried the herringbone linen ludlow. Would you say the ludlow linen suit above is of same quality material and construction? The blazer is quite a hefty piece.
They used to carry Tall sizes.
They’re pretty sweet – at 30 bucks, it’s not much of a risk to just try it out. If you buy their shirts, just size down from what your shirt size is with them. I’m pleased with them, I own nice expensive blazers too and these are an amazing find if you’re on a tight budget.
