JCF: Extra 70% off FINAL SALE w/ TAKE70 (exp 1/27)

Sat. 1/24 UPDATE: This post originally ran in early January, but they’ve brought the sale back, and their clearance section is still pretty stocked up. Code TAKE70 now ends Tuesday January 27th.

Why anyone would want to wear only clothes mainly from one store, I don’t know. BUT. It does make for a fun experiment, especially when it comes to showing the versatility of some classic (or even trendy-ish) pieces. Or maybe you already have similar gear, and this can act as inspiration.

WARNING: This one’s for the gamblers. The true deal hunters… who are also willing to come up empty (or worse). Because all of the J. Crew Factory stuff below is FINAL sale. No returns or exchanges. None. Zilch. Once you purchase it, it’s yours, for better or for worse. But… tis the season for End-of-Winter clearance blowouts. And at 70% off… this is one of those.

The J. Crew Factory Extra 70% off Final Sale Clearance items code TAKE70 is set to expire Tuesday 1/6/26 1/27/26.

JCF: 17% off w/ LUCKY + addit. 20% off $100+ w/ BESTDRESSED

Lucky indeed. Nothing like getting a snail mail flyer from J. Crew Factory on St. Patrick’s Day, only to find out it’s stacking with their one-day 17% off LUCKY code:

BESTDRESSED does stack with the one-day St. Patrick’s day LUCKY code.
Thanks Mr. Postman!!

Combines for an extra 33.6% off

Note that the 17% off code LUCKY is set to expire tonight (3/17), but the 20% off $100+ deal BESTDRESSED is scheduled to run clear through April 30th.

OUTTA THE WAY, CHUCK T. J. Crew Factory has a fistful of shamrocks and they’re not messing around.

Knit 97% Cotton/3% Poly Blazers – $132.13 ($199)

JCF’s take on the knit blazer/swazer thing. Does appear to have some structure. And cotton based instead of all poly based. So cautiously expect these to be affordable versions of the Bonobos Jetsetter knit blazer.

Four-season Wool Blend Thompson Fit Trousers – $66.73 ($100.50)

A hard to pass up deal on some smart dress trousers. 58% polyester/40% wool/2% elastane blend. Four colors. And they come in a couple different inseam lengths, so if you’re lucky, you may be able to skip any extra post-purchase tailoring. A mere fifty cents north of the extra 20% off threshold ($100), so a max deal this time around.

Suede Camp Mocs – $78.64 ($118.50)

Too early for camp mocs? Perhaps. Yet those look awfully similar to the excellent mainline J. Crew suede camp mocs from a couple years ago. And if they’re like their autumnal suede boot brothers from last season, they could be serious winners. But it’s a bit of a gamble with shoes at this price.

Classic-fit Thompson University Wool-blend Blazer – $158.36 ($238.50)

Full review here. That’s a very, very good price for this blazer. Hasn’t dipped this low in quite a while if memory serves. 40% wool, 29% poly, 28% viscose, 3% elastane mid-weight twill exterior. Fully lined. 100% poly back & front. 51% poly/49% viscose sleeve lining. Non functioning sleeve cuff buttons which are easier to tailor. Size shown above is an off-the-rack/untailored 40R on 5’10″/185.

Twill Chore Jacket – $82.66 ($124.50)

70% cotton/16% viscose/12% lyocell/2% elastane. So an educated guess is that this might have more of a soft hand feel than a rugged feel to the fabric.

TWO pairs of “TruTemp365” Chinos – $78.35 total (Norm. $60ish per pair)

Works out to $39.18 per pair once you apply both codes. These appear to be J. Crew Factory’s take on BR’s popular Core Temp pants. Description reads: “TruTemp365 fabric offers year-round comfort in warm or cool weather with temperature-regulating technology.” Ah yes, yee ole’ “temperature regulating technology.” Like a smart thermostat, but for your butt. Slim or straight fits. Lots of colors ready for the warmer weather ahead. You will have to buy two pairs to use and therefor stack that extra 20% off $100+ deal.

100% Linen Sportcoat – $184.92 ($278.50)

Like a slightly more affordable version of mainline J. Crew’s Portuguese cotton/linen sportcoat. Although this one is 100% linen, so it’ll wrinkle more. Like, a lot more. Does have a matching pair of trousers if you want to make a suit, but it’ll be easier on the eyes if you instead pair the jacket with, say, a simple pair of those TruTemp chinos in gray or off white.

The J. Crew 17% off code LUCKY is set to expire today, 3/17/25. But the stacking 20% off $100+ code BESTDRESSED is set to run through 4/30.

SHOP24 = Additional 24% off at J. Crew Factory (exp 9/10)

So when is something a deal? Short answer: That depends.

Long answer: For J. Crew FACTORY, this quiet and not shown on their website SHOP24 code appears to be a deal. JCF is almost always running a 40% off sale, so when they open it up a bit to 40% – 60% off, and then drop a quiet additional 24% off code, it’s worth a look. We’ll do the math so you can decide. Most picks below will be limited to items listed at half off or more pre-code, with the additional 24% off tipping them into “well okay then!” territory.

Ready for (mostly) cheap basics? Remember that this is JCF and not mainline J. Crew. So don’t expect things to feel quite the same on arrival. Also, Passport members don’t get free shipping no min. over at JCF. Free shipping kicks in at $99 for everyone. Code SHOP24 expires tonight, 9/10/24. Off we go…

Slim-fit flex chinos – $22.42 ($79.50)

Already on sale for 63% off that (inflated) MSRP of $79.50, and the extra 24% off that sale price helps quite a bit. 99% cotton, 1% elastane. Five colors to pick from. 4.6/5 stars after 673 reviews. One of their bestsellers. They are what you think they are, and twenty-two bucks and some change seems pretty good. Shown at the very top of the post, at left, in “slate” grey.

Cotton washed jersey pocket tee – $7.22 ($34.50)

100% cotton, jersey knit, washed for softness. Chest pocket keeps it from looking overly basic. Shown at the very top of the post, at right, in “vintage sage.” Currently under ten bucks without the code. Drops to $7.22 with the additional 24% off. $34.50 MSRP is about four miles down from “raucously optimistic” and around the corner heading towards crazy-town.

Long-sleeve henley in slub cotton – $20.90 ($59.50)

Half off has them listed at $27.50. Extra 20% off drops them to just under $21. All cotton. Slubbed to give it that texture and well worn feel.

Waxed twill jacket – $112.86 ($248)

Barbour-like-style, budget-conscious price. British country estate looks without the zillions of dollars it costs to possibly have such a piece of property.

Flex oxford shirts in slim, classic, untucked, tall – $33.82 ($89.50)

Because sometimes you just want an oxford cloth button down that also is made in various fit templates like slim, classic, tall, and untucked.

Flex casual shirts in slim, classic, tall, untucked – $33.82 ($89.50)

And now the poplin fabric button downs. A little lighter, crisper feeling than oxford cloth. Some patterns here too, although there are solids as well.

Suede Lace-up boots – $128.44 ($248)

Mentioned in Monday’s tripod but getting more run here because they’re a few bucks cheaper. They also look great from here. Full disclosure: No personal experience with J. Crew Factory shoes or boots. Full honesty: Try not to expect that much? Especially not some of the greatness that J. Crew mainline has churned out in the boot department these last few years. But maybe they can be on par with the old (very old) JC Penney Deacon/Camlin or something like that. Outbound shipping for these is free as they eclipse the $99 free shipping threshold. Returns through the mail will set you back a $7.50 return label.

Walker Quilted Vests – $58.14 ($128)

It’s the JCF more-affordable alternative to the popular Sussex Quilted vests at mainline J. Crew. Button tabs at the back in case you want to streamline the look a bit. That deep red would be a good way to get your Marty McFly Halloween costume ready well in advance.

Suede Belt in Dark Brown – $26.98 ($59.50)

Cheap suede > cheap smooth leather. Almost universally. Perhaps something to throw in the cart to trip the $99 free shipping threshold if you’re not quite there.

Garment-dyed five-pocket pants in Slim OR Straight Fit – $37.96 ($128)

No clue why these are priced even higher than other JCF pants ($128 MSRP!) but they’re 63% “off” before the code. Bottom line: Sub $40 for some garment dyed five pockets seems good. Think of them as significantly cheaper alternatives to the famous Huckberry Flint and Tinder 365.

Jersey-lined quilted jacket – $86.64 ($228)

Half off and listed at $114. The extra 24% off drops these under $87. Not bad, but there’s also plenty of puffers on Amazon for less. The “shacket” style is cool though. Lined in a jersey knit (t-shirt like) fabric.

Classic-fit Thompson university wool-blend blazer – $181.26 ($398)

Full review here. That’s a good price for this blazer. Not a great price. Has dipped into the $160s in recent memory but that could be tough to replicate.

Thompson wool blend trousers – $37.62 FINAL ($168)

Throwing these Final Sale (no returns or exchanges) trousers in here at the bottom. A risk, because they’re final sale, but the price is nice. Decently reviewed as well. Fabric is a blend: 54% wool/41% polyester/5% elastane. Weirdly these are final sale but NOT on “clearance” therefor the additional 60% off clearance items code SALE60 won’t work.

The quiet J. Crew Factory extra 24% off code SHOP24 is set to expire tonight, 9/10/24.
