SHOPNOW = 30% – 50%* off Sale items at J. Crew
*Two notes on this one. First, as always, the graphics on J. Crew’s website say “final” sale, but even regular sale items, which are the ones that you can return, get the extra 30% off. Second… there are a few out of season items that are getting an extra 50% taken off with the code. Fifty. Five-O book em’ Dan-o. Can’t recall ever seeing that before. Those items are noted below. Prices in red reflect that discount. Code expires Monday 9/30/13.
WARNING:
According to the customer rep WB from the comments talked to… the 50% off items are final sale and can’t be returned. Even though there’s no red-text notification on the item’s page like there always has been in the past. Tread carefully here guys.
UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with J. Crew. Here’s the key: If an item’s sale price ends in $.99 THEN IT IS FINAL SALE. Even if it doesn’t say it’s final sale. The rep said that they recently updated their website, so that red text that used to be there, saying it’s final sale? Isn’t there now. Eeesh. But… read the comments. Lots of conflicting reports from customer service reps and store managers. Just don’t want anyone to get burned here. Good luck!
50% off: Ludlow Japanese Seersucker Suit – $215.99 ($456)
Who needs a seersucker suit in late September? Nobody. And that’s why the jacket is an extra fifty percent off. The pants are an extra 30% off, dropping this thing to… less than a Factory summer suit. Good cripes. Anyone getting married next year? Throwing a derby party in May? There’s also a slimmer cut pant option available. You could also make it a three-piece. Pants and vest are below the jacket on the same page. You’ll have to scroll down. FINAL SALE
50% off: Ludlow Italian Oxford Cloth Jacket + Classic Pan- $184.99 ($506)
(rubs eyeballs)… The hell is going on around here. You’ve got to go to each items individual page, but, most if not all sizes available at post time. Skip the seersucker, here’s the wedding suit. They do have the slim-pant option, but those are all but sold out. Update: That jacket on the right is what shows up when you click on the only color available… “navy”. FINAL SALE
Italian Cotton Pique Ludlow Suit Jacket + Classic Pant – $228.99 ($407.99)
There’s also navy and a grey, but the sizing is all over the place (or non existent on those). The summer appropriate “stone” though, appears to have plenty of sizes. 30% off on the jacket, an extra 50% off on the pant. FINAL SALE
Ludlow Herringbone Italian Linen Sportcoat – $174.99 ($348)
Already marked down a-plenty. The extra 30% off makes it actually affordable for most. Also available in a charcoal. Sizes are scattered. FINAL SALE
Italian Chino Suit Jacket + Unhemmed Matching Pant – $265.99 ($379.98)
This combo is only available in the classic grey shown here. Not 50% off, but 30% off gets it down into the mid $200s. FINAL SALE
Abingdon Laptop Bag – $66.50 ($98)
Dark navy, khaki, and a deep olive. A cheaper alternative to the Filson while you save up to… buy the Filson.
50% off: Irish Linen Suit Pant – $64.99 – $39.99 ($158)
There’s not a lot of sizes left in the jacket, but if you just want a pair of really well made, high quality linen pants… then these are them. Want the slimmer fit? They’ve got those as well. FINAL SALE
Macalister Brickman Boot – $110.60 ($168)
Stitched welt, made in Italy, and a slimmer profile than most other chukkas.
Italian Linen Cotton Ludlow Suit Jacket + Slim Pant – $272.99 ($546)
Not 50% off, just an extra 30% off. And the pant sizes are somewhat limited. FINAL SALE
Steele Canvas for J. Crew Made in the USA Tote – $47.60 ($68)
Wait a minute… some of you wouldn’t carry this? You don’t say.
Abingdon Travel Kit – $31.15 ($58)
Just got mentioned during the 25% off code sale, and now an extra few bucks off. Surprisingly substantial feeling with plenty of room for all your essentials.
HAN KJØBENHAVN Wolfgang or Janitor Sunglasses – $79.80 ($134)
Made by the Danes. In Denmark. No, not the Dutch. The Danes. But you could in fact share a Danish with a Dutchman in Denmark… if he’d be willing to make the trip. Here: I had to draw myself a picture.
Dock Peacoat with Thinsulate – $199.50 ($288)
FIT SHENANIGANS. The navy on the left sure doesn’t look as fitted as the charcoal on the right. Hm. It’s awfully early on to put these on sale isn’t it? What gives? UPDATE: These are now sold out? Strange.
Made in the USA Silk Dot Bow Tie – $27.99 ($55)
I don’t ever wear bow ties, but if I would, I’d choose this one. Stay Preppy my Friends. (oh, and… FINAL SALE)
The J. Crew 30% – 50% off code SHOPNOW expires on Monday 9/30/13.
Holy smokes… some great stuff in here! Thanks for the picks Joe!
I’ve been waiting for something like this to pick up a suit for my wedding next summer. Glorious!
My wife is cursing you out right now. My credit card company, on the other hand, sends you their profuse gratitude.
how do you know which items are final sale and which items aren’t?
Picked up the italian linen-wool suit in pewter and the italian oxford cloth suit in navy for a hair above $400. Should go great with my new AE Walnut 5th Aves. What a steal!
The Navy Pique jackets are gone… the Dappered Effect!
Just snagged the oxford suit but with the double-vent.
Just spoke with a J.Crew rep, concerning returns….the “Final Sale” items are the items eligible for 50% off. The other items that are eligible for 30% off can be returned.
It’ll have a little red-text notification that says “final sale” near the item description, one you click into the item’s specific page.
Or at least that’s the way it USED to be. See WB’s comment below. Updating shortly…
Well that’s kinda… crappy. Used to say clearly on their site “FINAL SALE” next to items that couldn’t be returned. I’m not seeing that now.
The promo’s wording is very misleading too, it leads you to believe that if you use the SHOPNOW code, then the items will be nonreturnable.
Misleading and then some. So is everything final sale? That’d be a huge departure from how they used to operate.
The rep I spoke to said that the Seersucker and the Italian Oxford cloth suit and pants were returnable as they were not marked “Final Sale” next to the items. Better be careful however..
Get the chat transcript emailed to you, just in case.
Unfortunately this was on the phone.. 🙁
I just got off with a rep on the phone. This is confusing. The rep I spoke with said if the item ends in $.99? Then it’s final sale.
The only item that I’ve found (so far) that specifically says “Final Sale, no returns” is the “Unhemmed Ludlow classic suit pant in Italian chino”
Thanks for this. Have the double-vent&pants in my cart now.
I am just going to cancel my order. I don’t want to take a chance here.. Great prices though..
I’m not buying the “Final Sale” non-returnable biz some of you are getting from the customer service reps. There are items in the sale section that clearly have the red “Final Sale” when you select them, and there are others that don’t. That’s the way its always been. None of the items in my cart were marked “Final Sale” and therefore should be returnable, as its worked in the past.
Should? Yes. But, plenty aren’t going to be willing to take that risk. I haven’t seen the red “final sale” text yet. Was searching around to get a screen shot and couldn’t get it.
Weird. And I’m not seeing that text on my browser: https://dappered.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/no-final-sale-text-for-me.jpg
Test this link….for me it sends back the Final Sale red-text when I select a size&color:

Is that oxford cloth jacket actually in Navy, like the product page says? If so, that’s the lightest, greyest navy I’ve ever seen.
But, when I proceed to billing, there is NO mention of “final sale”, “no returns”, etc to signal that the pants are nonreturnable….hmmm weird.
I have been mulling over the oxford suit and linen blazer all morning….then this….THEN THIS JOE! You’ve made me have to pull the trigger, or else they would just disappear to the dappered masses. I blame you….I always blame you!
I’m trying to figure this out as well.
Spoke to the rep again and she said the items that are not marked “Final Sale” can be returned or exchanged. I had them put this note on my order. That should help if/when I try to return them.
I just sent them an email, I’ll post an update if I hear back.

Lawd! This is awesome!
I can confirm. Called the rep and she said that as long as it’s not marked final sale on the website, it should be returnable.
It looks grey because oxford cloth will be one navy thread alternating with a white thread – you get a blue gray that’s in between the to.
Nope. No final sale note there for me.
Well, I have no choice but to play the “But it didn’t say Final Sale” card because I bought an item yesterday using the now expired SHOPFALL 25% code for an item that ended in .99 but didn’t say Final Sale, neither in the item description or in the cart like it always has said in the past.
Their return policy on the website makes no provision for what’s considered final sale or not other than used lingerie and other items that don’t apply here.
And if worse comes to worse, I can file a complaint with the credit card company. In most cases they usually have your back 🙂
WARNINIG*** The color options for the suits do not match the photos. Word of caution before purchasing a non-returnable item.
I’m pretty sure that if it isn’t marked final sale/non-returnable, you can either return it or successfully file a chargeback, so you’ll get your money back either way.
UPDATE: Just got an email from a “J Crew Chat Specialist” (whatever that is…) he says this: “None
of the vests you are interested in (the Ludlow Vest in
Herringbone Italian Linen, in Harvest Herringbone English Wool, in Navy
English Wool, and in Glen Plaid English Wool) are listed as Final Sale,
so they are eligible for return or exchange in accordance with the
guidelines listed above”
Now the thing is, when asking which items are Final Sale/Nonreturnable I used the exact item#, so there should’nt be any confusion. That statement overrides the “$.99” rule told to Joe b/c the Ludlow Vest in Herringbone Italian Linen ends in $.99
Lots of conflicting information coming from J. Crew to say the least!
The oxford? Updated that above. Kinda makes me want it more.
Indeed. I’m going to let the post stay as is, just in case.
For the record…one of my favorite purchases this year was the Unstructured Ludlow Fielding Sportcoat. Love this coat every time I pull it out, I just dig it.
It’s not super skinny, think English not Italian.
$70 bucks now. wow. I know I didnt pay full price, but I didnt get it that cheap. I would have paid full price for it though. Love It! (sorry, I dont post much so linkage is a problemo)

It does look weird, but if you zoom in on the picture of the interior of the jacket, it looks like it might be navy combined with a white/off-white/grey. Then if you read the description, it says: “woven in the traditional manner using two different-colored threads to create a subtle variation in color.” So I would go with yes? I found one on eBay too with the navy description and it matched Joe’s update to that one above, so…
Either way, I ended up pulling the trigger on that one, too good to pass up.
How about fabric? Which would suit (no-pun intended) me best from this sale. Get the most use and/or is capable of more seasons?
I really hope this is the case, but, just in case it’s not, on a national level, I’ll keep the freaky warnings in the post 🙂
Just never know I guess.
the dock coat is not sold out if you go here: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/wool/PRD~05534/05534.jsp but it is also not on sale. somebody messed up with this one. congrats to those who pounced on it. looks awesome in the pics at least. love the length. also the linen worsted brown one is lovely looking. if anyone bought the 38s and doesnt like it i will buy it off you

for what it’s worth…I placed an order before reading the comments and purchased a couple of the suits the morning the sale began. Last night, I ‘chatted’ with someone from JCrew, she checked my order and said all was returnable. She also assured me that the red text stating “this is final sale and cannot be returned” is still part of the checkout process. Nothing has changed in regards to the warning. She also stated that the .99 does indicate sale, but does not indicate “non returnable”. So, not sure where the confusion started, but it seems to be just that. I’m sure glad it’s not true!
ahhh, not much of a ‘selfy’ and post it type o’ dude…not that there is anything wrong with it! I will say however that it fits nice. It is unstructured. I wore it yesterday to the office though it may be jussst a tad casual for a ‘suit office’. The pic on the site does it justice. It’s fitted, just not overtly. I wear 42R and my tailor has done nothing to a L. (I just put it in the cart and ‘almost’ checked out to determine that it is not a final sale item and be returned at $69.99. For the love of Pete that is a great deal!)
Is this sale also going on in stores?
yes
Just got the jacket and pant in. I can confirm that the material is a combination of navy and grey interwoven threads. Overall, it looks like a grey suit.
Pulled the ludlow ‘navy’ into my boat…
My word it’s sexy. The pants go especially well with the tweed…also on sale if I’m not mistaken .
Just one more dappered opinion for the buyer of the future.
Killer with some eBay Cole haans too if you’ve never looked.
