J. Crew Factory: 70% off select warm weather blazers
FINAL SALE UPDATE:
The day after this post launched, JCF moved these to FINAL sale. Which means no returns or exchanges. That wasn’t the case originally, and clearly that changes the value proposition immensely.
J. Crew’s step down/more affordable line J. Crew Factory has gotten slammed pretty good by inflation. To be frank, after their recent price increases, 50% off a lot of their goods still feels pretty steep when it comes to the bottom line.
But … $135 (70% off) for a 100% linen blazer, which is just partially lined to maximize breathability? That’s pretty good in today’s pricing environment, no matter the brand. Usually at that price you’re looking at something in a cheap synthetic fabric, and/or fully lined and it won’t breathe as well. Just be prepared for it to wrinkle, but that’s part of the charm of linen/summertime, when formality expectations drop as the temperatures rise…
Houndstooth linen blazer – $135 FINAL ($450)
Micro houndstooth looks fresh & summery without being overly bold or “drunk uncle” loud. Would look good with navy or light gray chinos. Would also do well over a t-shirt with olive five pockets and sneakers or drivers.
Brown Glen Plaid 100% linen blazer – $135 FINAL ($450)
Tonal glen plaid adds contrast up against a solid shirt and trousers. Just add chinos, a button up, and some smart looking lace ups or loafers and you’re set for peak wedding season.
Seersucker suit jacket – $142.50 FINAL ($475)
Throwing the 100% cotton seersucker suit jacket in for those who want to stand out even more. No you don’t need to buy the matching trousers (the jacket can be worn as a sportcoat,) but the pants are here if you want to make it a full seersucker suit.
Final notes:
The above three are tagged as a “limited time deal,” so who knows when time’s up on the solid 70% off. None of them are final sale (yet) so they can be returned/exchanged. FRIDAY UPDATE: JCF has now moved them to final sale. No returns or exchanges. Outbound shipping is free, as they’re each north of the $99 free standard shipping threshold. All appear to have non functioning sleeve cuff buttons, which makes for significantly easier/cheaper tailoring post purchase, if you so choose.
That’s all.
Carry on.
