50% off select Last Call (but not final sale?) Winter Styles

J. Crew: “Boy winter sure is wrapping up, isn’t it?”

Everyone else: “Pardon? I can’t hear you over the sleet in my ears.”

Timing is, as they say, everything. And even though much of the U.S. is getting slammed by icy cold at present, the Vernal Equinox is less than 2 months away.

“Cold comfort” indeed.

Bottom line: This is a really nice sale, because it’s a Black-Friday-like, maxed out discount for J. Crew. Usually they run 30% or 40% off their full-price, in-season stock. Anything more than that and they’ll tag it as final sale. *And at post time most of this stuff isn’t final sale yet.* That’s key. So it can be returned/exchanged. Yes you may be able to get one of these items cheaper in a few weeks once it hits final sale status, but at that point you’ll be stuck with it, even if it doesn’t fit.

Returns in store are free. Other than that you’ll be out a $7.50 pre-paid label. Button up. Stay warm. Let’s go.

 

100% Merino Wool V-Necks – $58.50 ($118)

For whatever reason, these didn’t get much discount-love this year. So it’s nice to see them dropping under $60. Navy, black, or gray. Merino wool. Yes one can certainly find cheaper options out there, but perhaps these are worth the upcharge over the competition. From reader Toby R.: “I’ve always found J. Crew’s wool sweaters to hit really well at the ‘somewhat budget conscious but also wanting to look nice while being long-lasting and functional’ intersection.”

 

Suede Field Boots – $172.50 ($348)

Consider sizing up by half. New for this year. Review of the previous version can be found here, when they were making them in a darker suede. Richer and (even) more eye catching this go-round. Seems like they still may run half a size small.

 

Slim, Classic, or Tall Fit Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $37.50 ($75)

A customer favorite. Their standard weight henleys. Henleys are great, and J. Crew’s vintage-wash fabric has its fans. Not super thick or bulky. Eight colors to choose from.

 

Dock Peacoat – $248.50 $223.99 FINAL w/ SHOPSALE ($498)

Friday Update: As predicted, some of these items have gotten shifted into their final sale section. The Dock Peacoats are one of those items. They’re now final sale, you’ll need to use that code, and they cannot be returned or exchanged anymore.

Also shown at the very top of the post. Perfectly placed chest-high handwarmer pockets, 80% wool / 20% nylon fabric, and PrimaLoft insulation. Size shown at the very top of the post is a size medium on 5’10″/180.

 

Seaboard Soft-knit Shirts – $58.50 ($118)

One of their bestsellers. 4.8/5 stars after 1000 reviews. Classic work-shirt style, but “impossibly soft and stretchy” thanks to the yarn used and knit construction. So instead of it being woven like a poplin, it’s knit more like a tee or sweater. Tons of patterns and a few solids to pick from.

 

100% Cashmere Beanies – $44.50 ($89.50)

All cashmere, six colors, and extremely well reviewed.

 

Select Made in Italy 97% Cashmere / 3% Wool Scarves – $58.50 ($118)

And the scarves to go with the hats.

 

Stretch Corduroy 5-Pocket Pants in Straight Fit – $58.50 ($118)

Five pocket jean-like styling. Hard to beat a pair of cords this time of year.

 

Stretch Corduroy Trousers in Straight Fit – $58.50 ($118)

And the trouserfied version. Meaning: pockets are like chinos or dress pants, instead of the jean like 5-pocket style. These have slashes up front and welts in the rear.

 

Rivington Single-Breasted Topcoat in Italian 95% wool / 5% cashmere – $249.50 ($598) 58% off

Black or navy. Something to go over a suit, or frankly, anything than else. Topcoats look just as good over a sweater and jeans as they do over a suit. Lots of class in a simple, 95% wool/5% cashmere package.

 

Tech Pants in Straight or Slim Fit – $62.50 ($128)

Of of their bestsellers. They’re comfortable. They move well. Hidden side seam zip pocket. Interior gel gripper waistband detail to help keep shirts tucked. Clean, snap front closure. Performance + cotton blend fabric. Not full performance. Which many prefer, as it avoids the sometimes but not always “plasticky” look of some full performance fabric pants.

 

Wool Barn Jacket – $162.50 ($325) 50% off

One of J. Crew’s heritage/flagship styles of outerwear… only in wool. Limited sizes. These’ll probably sell out.

 

Slim Fit Bergen 5 Pocket Pants – $58.50 ($118)

J. Crew’s new revamped 5 pockets. Something that’s in-between classic chinos and jeans. It’s the style of pants a lot of us reach for multiple times a week if not almost every day. 97% cotton/3% elastane.

 

Sportcoat in Broken Herringbone English Wool – $249.50 ($598) 58% off

100% wool from England’s Moon mills. Broken herringbone is a little easier on the eyes than true herringbone. Base grey = goes with everything.

 

Classic Creased Wool Trouser – $88.50 ($178)

Classic fit, 100% wool, and a work-appropriate higher rise. Charcoal or navy.

 

60/40 Barn Jacket – $98.50 ($198)

60% cotton / 40% recycled polyamide for a bit of extra water resistance. Great for the wet, gross months ahead.

The 50% off select “Last Call Winter Styles” J. Crew event is set to run through Monday, 1/26. NOTE: J. Crew can change regular sale stuff to “final sale” status on a dime. So be careful. If that happens we’ll do our best to update this post ASAP, but in case they flip status on some of these picks, remember that anything tagged as final sale can’t be returned or exchanged.

Secret Wash Shirts in Navy + Blue + White = $46.50 FINAL w/ WEEKEND ($98)

These are a bit buried in J. Crew’s Buy 3 get 70% off Final Sale section, but once you find them and pick theright” colors, you can end up getting three of their bestselling Secret Wash shirts for $15.50 per shirt when you apply the code WEEKEND:

Combo shown = $46.50 total when you apply the additional 70% off promo. NOTE: If you decided to go with three white shirts, or one white shirt and two “waterfall” (lighter) blue, then obviously the total will be higher as the shirts are all priced differently.

But one white, one light blue, and one darker blue seems to be about as versatile as it gets.

Remember, final means final, so no returns or exchanges. No mediums available at post time on the slim white and light blues, but large and small are available. And there are mediums available on the navy and some other colors/fits. Available in slim, classic, tall, and untucked fits.

Outbound shipping should be free for their Passport Rewards club members.

That’s all.

Carry on.

J. Crew: Extra 70% off 3+ FINAL SALE items w/ WEEKEND

*Note: Code WEEKEND is also good for an extra 50% off 1-2 sale items, but if you play your cards right, it can often (but not always) be cheaper to get three items at the 70% off.

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 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 an extra 70% off… (if you purchase 3 or more items) this is certainly one of those. Figured it was worth throwing together a few quick combos to see if we could spin some mega-clearance “straw” into style gold. Code WEEKEND is set to end Tuesday, 1/20/26.

Y’know what’s a terrible idea?

Sh*tty AI chatbot pop-ups asking “DO YOU NEED HELP SHOPPING” like they’re some sort of annoying in-store salesperson even though you’re specifically avoiding that annoyance by shopping online?

Good point.

You were saying?

Final sale shoes bought online, sight unseen. Those are also a terrible idea.

Indeed. Because if they fit poorly, there’s nothing a tailor can do to fix that. And as they’re final sale, you can’t return or exchange them.

They’re an awful choice.

Especially if it’s a pair of shoes or boots with a known fit issue.

…… HOOOOOOLLLLD MY BEER!

 

J. Crew Goodyear Welted Field Boots in English Leather – $122.40 FINAL w/ SALETIME + addit. 10% off members deal ($378)

Allegedly, these have historically run on the small side. So if you’re gonna take this insane gamble, consider sizing up by half before you risk lighting your almost $123 of hard earned money on fire.

See our shoe expert’s review of last year’s suede version here.

Here be the many deals that are happening, all at once, and stacking on these boots:

  • They’re on (final) sale
  • They’re getting an extra 60% off with the SALETIME code
  • If you log into a passport rewards members account and tick the box at checkout, you’ll get an additional 10% off:

But again, they’re final sale.

And while they’ve historically run small with many recent customer reviews seemingly confirming that, some other reviewers say they run true to size. While others say they run big. (The hell?)

So, yeah.

What could possibly go wrong?

That’s all.

Carry on.

J. Crew: 50% off select, no code needed

Sunday 12/14 Update: J. Crew just rolled out an additional 10% off for their Passport Rewards Club Members, and it stacks on this half off stuff. Just make sure you tap/tick the offer box at checkout to apply the additional 10% off.

In case you were in a Thanksgiving tryptophan coma over the Black Friday period… J. Crew has brought back part of that huge sale.

Not everything that was on major Black Friday special is back on sale to that level. But some of it is. You just have to know where to look, as it’s a somewhat quiet section tucked around and behind their gift guides and other holiday-based marketing materials.

No code needed. Prices are as marked, so fingers crossed there’s another teeny members-only code in the works or something which could stack (that is seriously wishful thinking, don’t bet on it). Off we go with the picks. Runs through Tuesday December 16th, so this could be the last-chance saloon for 50% off this stuff before it goes to the final sale section during end-of-season winter-clearance time.

 

Suede Field Boots – $172.50 ($348)

$155.25 for members

Consider sizing up by half. New for this year. Review of the previous version can be found here, when they were making them in a darker suede. Richer and (even) more eye catching this go-round. Seems like they still may run half a size small.

 

Seaboard Soft-knit Shirts – $58.50 ($118)

$52.65 for members

One of their bestsellers. 4.8/5 stars after almost 900 reviews. Classic work-shirt style, but “impossibly soft and stretchy” thanks to the yarn used and knit construction. So instead of it being woven like a poplin, it’s knit more like a tee or sweater. Tons of patterns and a few solids to pick from.

 

Dock Peacoat – $248.50 ($498)

$223.65 for members

J. Crew’s excellent Dock Peacoats are back for another season with their perfectly placed chest-high handwarmer pockets, 80% wool / 20% nylon fabric, and PrimaLoft insulation. Here’s how a size medium (in black) fits 5’10″/180. “Just” navy so far. No black yet.

 

100% Cashmere Beanies – $44.50 ($89.50)

All cashmere, six colors, and extremely well reviewed.

 

Made in Italy 97% Cashmere / 3% Wool Scarves – $58.50 – $62.50 ($118-$128)

And the scarves to go with the hats. Supremely giftable. Even if (especially if?) the recipient is you. Solids as well as a couple of plaid options available.

 

Sportcoat in Broken Herringbone English Wool – $249.50 ($598)

$224.55 for members

Also shown at the very top of the post. Looks to be a perfect fall/winter/early-spring sportcoat. 100% wool from England’s Moon mills. Broken herringbone is a little easier on the eyes than true herringbone. Base grey = goes with everything.

 

Kenton Chelsea Boots – $162.50 ($328)

$146.25 for members

Goodyear welted, versatile shape (not overly pointy or elf-ish). Mini lug sole for traction. Also available in black. Pair shown above = the 2021 version. Review of the 2021 version can be found here.

 

Classic-fit 10-wale Corduroy Trouser – $68.50 ($138)

$61.65 for members

Dressier than their other cords. Black, “whalebone” off-white (also shown very top center of post), or the holiday-party ready “deep wine” which is sitting on the stack shown above.

 

Quilted Sussex Jackets – $118.50 ($238)

$106.65 for members

Also available in olive. One of their annual bestsellers. A quilted, insulated jacket that’s not puffy like a puffer, and doesn’t have the synthetic “shine” cheap-y quilted jackets can sometimes have.

 

Sussex Quilted Vests – $78.50 ($158)

$70.65 for members

And the vests too. Great to have on hand for warmer days. Also great to have on hand to layer under a coat for the unusually cold days.

 

Classic Creased Wool Trouser – $88.50 ($178)

$79.65 for members

Classic fit, 100% wool, and a work-appropriate higher rise. Charcoal, navy, or brown. Shown at the very top of the post as well.

 

Roughout Suede Work Gloves – $72.50 ($148)

$65.25 for members

Not sure how “work” capable they are, but as they’re thicker and less dressy than other gloves, the style seems to fit the name. Full grain suede exteriors. Could be a sneaky great, new favorite to wear with casual/smart casual stuff in the cold weather.

 

Stretch Corduroy 5-Pocket Pants in Straight fit – $44.50 ($118)

$40.05 for members

Pricing note: Not sure why their cords are 62% off instead of 50% off, but… they’re not final sale yet. So we’ll take it!

It’s prime cords season. So here they be. Five pocket jean-like styling. Seasonal colors.

 

Stretch Corduroy Trousers in Straight Fit – $44.50 ($118)

$40.05 for members

And the trouserfied version. Meaning: pockets are like chinos or dress pants, instead of the jean like 5-pocket style. These have slashes up front and welts in the rear.

 

Shawl-Collar Dinner Jacket in Velvet – $198.50 ($398)

$178.65 for members

It’s the rare item that’s both truly festive but also pretty cool and paired back. Dress it down with jeans (as shown), or dress it up with dress trousers or dark, pressed chinos.

 

Slim, Classic, or Tall Fit Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $37.50 ($75)

$33.75 for members

A customer favorite. Henleys are great, and J. Crew’s vintage-wash fabric has its fans. Not super thick or bulky. Ten colors to choose from.

 

Short-sleeve Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $22.50 ($45)

$20.25 for members

And now the short sleeves. Something to mix it up when a t-shirt feels too boring and a polo feels like too much. Looks great with jeans and under a chore jacket.

 

Basket-stitch Cotton Crewneck Sweaters – $44.50 ($118) 62% off

$41.85 for members

100% cotton. Textured knit. For those who appreciate the ease of cotton and/or have an allergy to wool or are extra sensitive to anything that may “itch.”

 

Ludlow Slim-fit Suit Jacket in Italian Corduroy – $222.50 ($448)

$200.25 for members

If you like the idea of a velvet blazer but don’t feel comfortable wearing something so showy, try corduroy instead. It’s still soft, it’s still a bit of a statement, but it’s not the “full beans” that velvet is. Yes there are matching trousers if you want to make it a full suit, but… that’s a lot of corduroy all at once.

 

* Warning: below this line is Final Sale and an additional 50% off w/ SALETIME *
final sale = no returns or exchanges

 

Field Boots in English Leather – $122.39 FINAL w/ SALETIME ($378)

*Sizing is tricky. These boots run small, so if you really want to still risk it on final sale shoes, try half a size up.

Looks like AE’s Higgins Mill, costs a fraction of the price. Not gonna be quite the same quality and not made with weatherproof leather, but… you get the idea. Runs on the small side. See our shoe expert’s review of last year’s suede version here.

 

Rugged Merino Shawl Collar Cardigan  = $84.49 FINAL ($188)

Surprised that this has already wandered over to the final sale section. It’s prime season for the wool “house” sweater.

 

Brushed Wool Crewneck Sweaters – $102.49 FINAL w/ EXTRA ($228)

“Shaggy” sweaters are a prep standard. Stripes are hard to beat. Best of both worlds here.

The J. Crew “Perfect Presents” event is set to run clear through Tuesday 12/16.

Steal Alert: J. Crew 50% off Black Friday/Cyber Monday + 30% off Suiting & Chinos https://dappered.com/2025/11/j-crew-black-friday-event-2025/ Thu, 27 Nov 2025 11:30:55 +0000 https://dappered.com/?p=276507 Heads up: Buying via our links results in us getting a commission (not always, but just about), which helps keep the lights on around here.

J. Crew: 50% off select + 30% off Suiting & Chinos (11/27-12/2)

Before we get started, let’s jump in the way-back machine to earlier this week when J. Crew had launched a 40% off deal:

Their fine print says this 40% off is set to expire Wednesday… which seems to indicate they have something different in the works for Thanksgiving onward. Haven’t even heard a whisper. Just reading the fine print like anyone else. Now they DID send out an email saying starting today (11/25) in stores they’re doing 50% off select + 30% off their usually excluded chinos and suiting. So that’s another clue. We’ll keep an eye on it and update if/when necessary.

Well. Sometimes reading the fine print and between its lines pays off.

Okay. Back to the present.

This is by far as good as it gets for J. Crew. 50% off with minimal exclusions. 30% off their usually excluded suit separates and chinos too. Off we go. Scheduled to end Saturday Tuesday 12/2 (they extended this for Cyber Monday.)

 

Stretch Chinos (slim, straight, or athletic tapered fit) – $68.60 ($98) 30% off

These things are almost always excluded from sales and codes of any kind, because J. Crew doesn’t need to mark them down to sell boatloads of them. And that should tell you something. Slim, Straight, or Athletic tapered fit. Lots of colors. Fabric is an all-season weight, 7.9-ounce cotton/elastane twill that’s casual but not beat up or grungy looking. They can be dressed up with an OCBD and sportcoat, and they can also be dressed down with a t-shirt and sneakers. They’re a flagship bestseller which only goes on sale a handful of times a year. This is one of those times.

 

Court Sneakers in Leather – $74 ($148) 50% off

Leather lined. Vibram sole. Timeless classics.

 

Dock Peacoat – $249 ($498) 50% off

Suede Field Boots – $174 ($348) 50% off

Consider sizing up by half. New for this year. Review of the previous version can be found here, when they were making them in a darker suede. Richer and (even) more eye catching this go-round. Seems like they still may run half a size small.

 

Field Boots in English Leather – $189 ($378) 50% off

Consider sizing up by half. Looks like AE’s Higgins Mill, costs half the price. Not gonna be quite the same quality and not made with weatherproof leather, but… you get the idea. Runs on the small side. See our shoe expert’s review of last year’s suede version here.

 

Ludlow Fit Worsted Italian Wool Ludlow Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $560 ($800) 30% off

Their flagship Italian wool suits. Fabric is a worsted wool from Italy’s Lanificio Di Tollegno. It’ll look a little more interesting and less flat than most other suit fabrics, without shouting or being weird or shiny. Sold as separates. Don’t forget the pants.

What about Crosby fit? Yes, these are available in their more athletic/more accommodating Crosby fit for both the jackets and pants.

 

Made in Spain Goodyear Welted Essex Cap Toe Oxfords – $237.50 ($475) 50% off

Wasn’t expecting these to be included in the half off-deal. That’s a true surprise.

These have been all but excluded since their launch earlier this year. Haven’t seen them up for a significant discount like this yet. Just black. No brown yet.

 

Made in Spain Goodyear Welted Essex Derby – $225 ($450) 50% off

And the open-lacing derby style. These do come in brown (and black too).

 

Ludlow Traveler (96% wool/4% elastane) Wool Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $487.20 ($696) 30% off

Ocean Blue or Carbon GrayFull review here. Big fan. Size shown is a 40R and 32×32 trouser on 5’10″/185. Italian wrinkle resistant stretch-infused wool from Tollegno. Two versatile colors to pick from. Jackets are half-lined in the back for extra breathability.

 

Rivington Single-Breasted Topcoat in Italian 95% wool / 5% cashmere – $299 ($598) 50% off

Fine-Wale Corduroy Shirts – $59 ($118) 50% off

Winter texture for your torso. Sidenote: as someone who does a lot of laundry, that looks like the laundromat load from hell. Wash with like colors on cold, people!

 

Brushed Wool Crewneck Sweaters – $114 ($228) 50% off

“Shaggy” sweaters are a prep standard. Stripes are hard to beat. Best of both worlds here.

 

Limited-edition Waxed Heritage Barn Jacket – $99 ($198) 50% off

Wool Barn Jacket – $162.50 ($325) 50% off

One of J. Crew’s heritage/flagship styles of outerwear… only in wool. Perfect for this time of year if you live in an area that’s just a little too cold for their classic cotton barn-jackets, but don’t often need to be super insulated/bundled up.

 

Slim or Straight Fit Bergen 5 Pocket Pants – $59 ($118) 50% off

J. Crew’s new revamped 5 pockets. Something that’s in-between classic chinos and jeans. It’s the style of pants a lot of us reach for multiple times a week if not almost every day. 97% cotton/3% elastane.

 

Kenton Chelsea Boots – $164 ($328) 50% off

Goodyear welted, versatile shape (not overly pointy or elf-ish). Mini lug sole for traction. Also available in black. Pair shown above = the 2021 version. Review of the 2021 version can be found here.

 

Bowery Performance Stretch Dress Shirts with Spread Collar – $49 ($98) 50% off

These shirts are surprisingly good. Maybe not great (like something from Ledbury) but good. Quite good. Lots of colors and patterns, three fits (slim, classic, and tall), and made from a not flimsy feeling twill fabric with good stretch. 67% cotton/28% polyamide/5% elastane. Sold in “alpha” sizes though. So they’re more ballpark than the traditional neck and sleeve measurement shirts you’ll find elsewhere. Size shown above is an unaltered medium slim on 5’10″/185, and it’s a tad too small (especially in the neck) for my normally 16/33 shirt wearing frame.

 

Midweight Cashmere Boatneck Sweater in Stripe – $166.60 ($238) 30% off

Niche and spendy for sure, but it’s one of those items J. Crew has lifted from historical archives and bougie-d up. 100% cashmere. Boatneck. Breton-style stripes.

 

Ludlow Italian (Loro Piana) Wool Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $560 ($800) 30% off

Slightly different than their already mentioned worsted wool flagships. Fabric comes from Loro Piana, which is a famous Italian fabrics producer. Six colors to choose from. Half canvas construction. Sleeve cuff buttons are non-functioning for easy tailoring. In terms of styling: know that you are very much not required to wear your pants “flood stage” short as the J. Crew models are doing. That’s just something the stylists seem to do for their photos. Trousers shouldn’t be artificially cropped in terms of fit out of the box. It’s just J. Crew doing J. Crew things with their visuals. Again, sold as separates. Don’t forget the pants.

What about Crosby fit? Yes, these are available in their more athletic/more accommodating Crosby fit for both the jackets and pants.

 

Shawl Collar Lounge Jacket in Italian Corduroy – $348.60 ($498) 30% off

Ostentatious as hell… or to-hell-with-it awesome. Maybe it’s both. Or it’s both until the owner finds their head in a guillotine, instead of sipping champagne and nibbling on brioche. Then it probably leans harder to the former. (Too dark?)

 

Stretch Corduroy 5-Pocket Pants in Straight or Athletic Tapered – $59 ($118) 50% off

It’s prime cords season. So here they be. Five pocket jean-like styling. Fall/winter ready colors.

 

Stretch Corduroy Trousers in Straight Fit – $59 ($118) 50% off

And the trouserfied version. Meaning: pockets are like chinos or dress pants, instead of the jean like 5-pocket style. These have slashes up front and welts in the rear.

 

100% Cashmere Beanies – $44.75 ($89.50) 50% off

All cashmere, six colors, and extremely well reviewed.

 

Basket-stitch Cotton Crewneck Sweaters – $59 ($118) 50% off

100% cotton. Textured knit. For those who appreciate the ease of cotton and/or have an allergy to wool or are extra sensitive to anything that may “itch.”

 

100% Merino Wool V-Necks – $59 ($118) 50% off

Still no camel option. Navy, black, or gray. Merino wool. Yes one can certainly find cheaper options out there, but perhaps these are worth the upcharge over the competition. From reader Toby R.: “I’ve always found J. Crew’s wool sweaters to hit really well at the ‘somewhat budget conscious but also wanting to look nice while being long-lasting and functional’ intersection.”

 

Quilted Sussex Jackets – $119 ($238) 50% off

One of their annual bestsellers. A quilted, insulated jacket that’s not puffy like a puffer, and doesn’t have the synthetic “shine” cheap-y quilted jackets can sometimes have.

 

Sussex Quilted Vests – $79 ($158) 50% off

And the vests too.

 

Heritage Cotton Cable-knit Shawl-collar Sweater – $84 ($168) 50% off

For when you just wanna batten down the hatches and stay at home. 100% cotton for these. Just black so far.

 

60/40 Barn Jacket – $99 ($198) 50% off

60% cotton / 40% recycled polyamide for a bit of extra water resistance.

 

Organic Cotton Chambray Shirt in one-year wash – $49 ($98) 50% off

Organic cotton chambray shirt in one-year wash

Can look really smart and different under a more casual leaning sportcoat or suit or v-neck. For when you get tired of the same old poplins and oxfords. Chambray is a little more rugged looking, a lot more interesting, but still easy wearing in this “one-year wash.”

 

Lake Shoes in Leather – $99 ($198) 50% off

“Ain’t it the wrong season for those?”
Not if you want a perfect pair of house-shoes to slip into when you get home.
“Good point.”

Full review of the lake shoes can be found here.

 

Slim, Classic, or Tall Fit Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $37.50 ($75) 50% off

A price-increase note: Last year these were $59.50 at full price. This year = $75. Yowza.

A customer favorite. Their standard weight henleys. Henleys are great, and J. Crew’s vintage-wash fabric has its fans. Not super thick or bulky. Ten colors to choose from.

 

Short-sleeve Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $22.50 ($45) 50% off

And now the short sleeves. Something to mix it up when a t-shirt feels too boring and a polo feels like too much. Looks great with jeans and under a chore jacket.

 

Rivington Car Coat in water-resistant cotton twill – $249 ($498) 50% off

Lighter than a wool coat but still plenty of protection thanks to the water resistant twill and extra length. Half lined in the back with a plaid cotton, and lined in the sleeves with Bemberg for easy on/off. Once you find one of these you like you’ll be surprised how often you wear it.

 

Ludlow Navy or Black Shawl Collar Italian Wool Tuxedo Jacket + Matching Trousers = $732.20 ($1046) 30% off

Ouch. Tuxedos are expensive. These are no exception. Any savings helps. But again, even these come in separates, which is exceedingly rare if you’re shopping for a tux. Italian wool, shawl collar, traditional one button closure (although the buttons are standard and not covered like a “true” tuxedo). Are they available in Crosby Fit?  Not for the shawl collar jackets. But they do have black peak lapel tux jackets in their Crosby fit. Trousers are here.

 

The Full Captain Holiday

That’s either holiday party dynamite, or the North Pole is missing its gigolo. Milk and cookies don’t pay the rent, Agnes. Leave the cash on the nightstand or you’re going on the one “naughty” list you’re not begging to be on.

The J. Crew Black Friday/Cyber Monday event is set to run through Tuesday 12/2.

SHOPFALL = 30% off select full price at J. Crew

Why anyone would want to wear only clothes mainly from one store, I don’t know. BUT.

J. Crew Stretch Chinos (slim, straight, or athletic tapered fit) – $68.60 w/ SHOPFALL ($98)

*Wednesday Update: J. Crew changed this promo overnight. Gone is the requirement to sign into an account. It’s now open to everyone if you use the code SHOPFALL. And the chinos are still included. BUT… they have excluded a few things from the original event. So there’s that to know as well.

J. Crew 20 bucks off chinos steal alert 31924

These things are almost always excluded from sales and codes of any kind, because J. Crew doesn’t need to mark them down to sell boatloads of them.

And that should tell you something.

Yes you have to be logged in and tick a box at checkout. No these didn’t get mentioned in the original sale picks post because frankly I coulda sworn they were excluded when the sale launched. Weren’t they? Could be wrong, but this feels like a recent addition to the ongoing Members event. Or maybe their site was glitchy at the kickoff (it was for me) and these only appeared as 30% off later on in the day once the gremlins/cookies in their servers got sorted out.

Slim, Straight, or Athletic tapered fit. Lots of colors with new colors just in for the season. Fabric is an all-season weight, 7.9-ounce cotton/elastane twill that’s casual but not beat up or grungy looking. They can be dressed up with an OCBD and sportcoat, and they can also be dressed down with a t-shirt and sneakers.

Ships free for Passport rewards members. Returns will still set you back a $7.50 pre-paid label, unless you can get them over to a physical brick and mortar J. Crew store.

Everyone: “What do you do for a living?”
Me: “I write about pants.”
Everyone: “…..

Just out here, fulfilling my destiny.

That’s all.

Carry on.

J. Crew 30% off w/ SHOPFALL (way less exclusions than usual)

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: This is now open to everyone. No log in required. Use code SHOPFALL at checkout instead of ticking a box. Original post/picks are still below…

Data is king. See all of the brands and retailers who have been running “log in and get XYZ% off” deals lately.

But this might be one of the best yet.

You gotta be logged in to a Passport Rewards members account. And true, 30% off isn’t super steep for J. Crew. Play your cards right and you can get a deeper discount even before something at J. Crew hits their clearance (read: final sale) section. But those more aggressive sales always come with significant exclusions. Not this time. Just check the box at checkout:

Suits. Suede jackets. Sportcoats. So log in (or create a free account) if you want to play along. Let’s get to the picks.

 

Ludlow Traveler (96% wool/4% elastane) Wool Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $487.20 ($696)

Ocean Blue or Carbon GrayFull review here. Big fan. Size shown is a 40R and 32×32 trouser on 5’10″/185. Italian wrinkle resistant stretch-infused wool from Tollegno. Two versatile colors to pick from. Jackets are half-lined in the back for extra breathability.

 

Suede Field Boots – $243.60 ($348)

New for this year. Review of the previous version can be found here, when they were making them in a darker suede. Richer and (even) more eye catching this go-round.

 

Dock Peacoat – $348.60 ($498)

J. Crew’s excellent Dock Peacoats are back for another season with their perfectly placed chest-high handwarmer pockets, 80% wool / 20% nylon fabric, and PrimaLoft insulation. Here’s how a size medium (in black) fits 5’10″/180. “Just” navy so far. No black yet.

 

Kenton Chelsea Boots – $229.60 ($328)

Goodyear welted, versatile shape (not overly pointy or elf-ish). Mini lug sole for traction. Also available in black. Pair shown above = the 2021 version. Review of the 2021 version can be found here.

 

Limited-edition Waxed Heritage Barn Jacket – $138.60 ($198)

Normally excluded. First time these have gone on sale this season. May be the only time they go on sale until winter clearance time. Blackwatch pattern, waxed cotton exterior, all the trimmings you’d expect from a country-gent styled jacket. Good looking, timeless, and functional. To get it on any sort of sale feels super rare.

 

Midweight Cashmere Boatneck Sweater in Stripe – $190.40 ($238) 20% off

Worth noting that cashmere (while usually excluded) is only getting 20% off instead of 30% off. Niche and spendy for sure, but it’s one of those items J. Crew has lifted from historical archives and bougie-d up. 100% cashmere. Boatneck. Breton-style stripes.

 

Slim or Straight Fit Bergen 5 Pocket Pants – $82.60 ($118)

J. Crew’s new revamped 5 pockets. Something that’s in-between classic chinos and jeans. It’s the style of pants a lot of us reach for multiple times a week if not almost every day. 97% cotton/3% elastane.

 

Ludlow Slim-fit Jackets in English cotton-wool blend – $243.60 ($348)

Every year J. Crew sources fabric from England’s Abraham Moon & Sons for a set of their unconstructed fall sportcoats. These are those. 53% cotton/47% wool. Unlined back. Non functioning sleeve cuff buttons make for easy tailoring. Wear it with jeans, chinos, cords, or…

 

Ludlow Slim-fit suit Pant in English cotton-wool blend – $138.60 ($198)

… the matching trousers if you want to create a casual but still smart fall/winter suit.

 

Heritage Cotton Cable-knit Shawl-collar Sweater – $117.60 ($168)

Bring on shawl collar season. 100% cotton for these. Just black so far.

 

Quilted Sussex Jackets – $134.75 ($238) 43% off

Weirdly enough these are 19% off at post time and the 30% off for members deal is stacking. For now. Until it’s not. One of their annual bestsellers. A quilted, insulated jacket that’s not puffy like a puffer.

 

Sussex Quilted Vests – $110.60 ($158)

And the vests too. Although the vests aren’t getting any sort of additional savings. “Just” the 30% off.

 

Field Boots in English Leather – $264.60 ($378)

Leather is from the famed English tannery C.F. Stead. Vibram soles. Heads up on sizing: It’s gotta be safe to assume that like the suede version (reviewed here) these may run a half size small. Also worth noting is the price increase. Last year they were $328 at full MSRP. This year they’re $378. Ouch.

 

Ludlow Fit Worsted Italian Wool Ludlow Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $560 ($800)

Their flagship Italian wool suits. Fabric is a worsted wool from Italy’s Lanificio Di Tollegno. It’ll look a little more interesting and less flat than most other suit fabrics, without shouting or being weird or shiny. Sold as separates. Don’t forget the pants.

What about Crosby fit? Yes, these are available in their more athletic/more accommodating Crosby fit for both the jackets and pants.

 

Ludlow Italian (Loro Piana) Wool Suit Jackets + Matching Trousers = $560 ($800)

Slightly different than their worsted wool flagships. Fabric comes from Loro Piana, which is a famous Italian fabrics producer. Six colors to choose from. Half canvas construction. Sleeve cuff buttons are non-functioning for easy tailoring. In terms of styling: know that you are very much not required to wear your pants “flood stage” short as the J. Crew models are doing. That’s just something the stylists seem to do for their photos. Trousers shouldn’t be artificially cropped in terms of fit out of the box. It’s just J. Crew doing J. Crew things with their visuals. Again, sold as separates. Don’t forget the pants.

What about Crosby fit? Yes, these are available in their more athletic/more accommodating Crosby fit for both the jackets and pants.

 

Rivington Single-Breasted Topcoat in Italian 95% wool / 5% cashmere – $418.60 ($598)

Something to go over those suits. Or frankly, anything than else. Topcoats look just as good over sweater and jeans as they do over a suit. Lots of class in a simple, 95% wool/5% cashmere package. Four colors.

 

Bowery Performance Stretch Dress Shirts with Spread Collar – $68.60 ($98)

Can be excluded from normal sales. Surprisingly good. Maybe not great (like something from Ledbury) but good. Quite good. Lots of colors and patterns, three fits (slim, classic, and tall), and made from a not flimsy feeling twill fabric with good stretch. 67% cotton/28% polyamide/5% elastane. Sold in “alpha” sizes though. So they’re more ballpark than the traditional neck and sleeve measurement shirts you’ll find elsewhere. Size shown above is an unaltered medium slim on 5’10″/185, and it’s a tad too small (especially in the neck) for my normally 16/33 shirt wearing frame.

 

MacAlister Boots in leather – $138.60 ($198)

Still made in Italy. A real favorite. English leather uppers, natural crepe rubber sole, unstructured and casual without looking sloppy. Something J. Crew has been making for years. Full review here.

 

Straight-fit Five-pocket Pant in stretch corduroy – $82.60 ($118)

Has recently gone for less, but if you just can’t wait to “wale”… then more power to you and your (new) pants.

 

Rivington Car Coat in water-resistant cotton twill – $296.50 ($498)

That’s quite the classy mac. Lighter than a wool coat but still plenty of protection thanks to the water resistant twill and extra length. Half lined in the back with a plaid cotton, and lined in the sleeves with Bemberg for easy on/off. Once you find one of these you like you’ll be surprised how often you wear it. I’ve got an old Brooks Brothers navy mac (long since sold out) and I wear it all the time, with everything from jeans & tees to suits and dress shoes, and in all weather short of blazing hot and bitter cold. No personal experience with this new J. Crew option, but it sure looks the part on the screen.

 

Cotton “Moleskin” Chore Jackets – $166.60 ($238)

Size shown is a medium on 5’10″/180. Available in brown or black. It’s not the super soft, plush, almost suede-like cotton moleskin many of us are used to. It feels more like canvas. There’s a very, very light brushed feel to it, but there’s no “squish” factor some other moleskin fabrics present. Still though, quite good. A brand new arrival. Should look great with everything from t-shirts to polos to over a sweater when it gets truly cold. And don’t think these are limited to “outerwear” use. Sure you could wear them as a light jacket, but more often than not those of us who love our chore jackets (my hand is raised) they’re worn like a super casual sportcoat/extra layer over tees, henleys, etc.

 

100% Merino Wool V-Necks – $82.60 ($118)

STILL no camel option yet? Navy, black, or gray. Merino wool. Yes one can certainly find cheaper options out there, but perhaps these are worth the upcharge over the competition. From reader Toby R.: “I’ve always found J. Crew’s wool sweaters to hit really well at the ‘somewhat budget conscious but also wanting to look nice while being long-lasting and functional’ intersection.”

 

Merino Wool Half-zip Sweaters – $96.60 ($138)

And the half-zips. Breathable, temperature regulating, 100% merino wool.

 

Court Sneakers in Leather – $103.60 ($148)

Leather lined. Vibram sole. Timeless classics. Good for those working their way through transitional weather and/or those who want to add a pop of brightness to the usual darker earth tones of fall.

 

Ludlow Navy or Black Shawl Collar Italian Wool Tuxedo Jacket + Matching Trousers = $732.20 ($1046)

Ouch. Tuxedos are expensive. These are no exception. Any savings helps. But again, even these come in separates, which is exceedingly rare if you’re shopping for a tux. Italian wool, shawl collar, traditional one button closure (although the buttons are standard and not covered like a “true” tuxedo). Are they available in Crosby Fit?  Not for the shawl collar jackets. But they do have black peak lapel tux jackets in their Crosby fit. Trousers are here.

 

Italian Suede Harrington Jacket – $628.60 ($898)

Wednesday Update: This got excluded when they went from a members only deal to open to everyone with the code SHOPFALL.

Oh my. Normally excluded. Because it’s suede. Big time splurge. But these suede Harringtons getting any kind of discount feels like a blue-moon event.

The J. Crew 30% off most/ 20% off cashmere w/ SHOPFALL event through Monday November 3rd.

SHOPFALL = 40% off select full | extra 40% off FINAL sale items

After a very, very quiet summer, J. Crew has really put the pedal to the promo metal to start fall. Over the summer they were doing lots of “up to” events, where many of the on-sale items hovered in the 20% – 30% off range. A flat 40% off w/ the code SHOPFALL is pretty significant for them. And simple too.

But hasn’t the regular MSRP gone up on a lot of their goods?” Yes. Just like many other brands. But if tariffs are truly a “one time price adjustment“, then situations like this (no matter the brand) aren’t some mark it up to mark it down discounting trickery. It’s just the new (more expensive) normal.

AND… members are getting an additional $20 off purchases over $100. Check out this example:

Got that? Sweater is $168. Apply the 40% off code SHOPFALL. Make sure you’re logged into your account and then check the $20 off $100 offer at checkout. Final total = $80.80. Which is more than half off.

And yes, you can combine multiple less-expensive items to trip the $20 off $100 threshold.

Pretty… pretty good.

Prices below reflect the 40% off w/ SHOPFALL and if the $20 off $100 can be applied too, that’s noted as well. Deals run through Monday, 10/6. Let’s do this…

 

MacAlister Boots in Leather – $98.80 with $20 off $100 ($198)

Really, really surprised to see the additional $20 off for members applying on these. Haven’t seen them drop that low in good long while.

Still made in Italy. A real favorite. English leather uppers, natural crepe rubber sole, unstructured and casual without looking sloppy. Something J. Crew has been making for years. Full review here.

 

Cotton Moleskin Chore Jackets – $122.80 with $20 off $100 ($238)

Size shown is a medium on 5’10″/180. Available in brown or black. It’s not the super soft, plush, almost suede-like cotton moleskin many of us are used to. It feels more like canvas. There’s a very, very light brushed feel to it, but there’s no “squish” factor some other moleskin fabrics present. Still though, quite good. A brand new arrival.

Sure you could wear them as a light jacket, but more often than not those of us who love our chore jackets (my hand is raised) wear them like a super casual sportcoat/extra layer over tees, henleys, etc.

 

Heritage Cotton Cable-knit Shawl-collar Sweater – $80.80 with $20 off $100 ($168)

For when the defecation hits the ventilation and you just wanna batten down at home. 100% cotton for these. Just black so far.

 

Kenton Chelsea Boots – $176.80 with $20 off $100 ($328)

Well under $200. Huzzah!

Yes these have gone up in price, overall. But so has (checks notes) lots of stuff. Like, everywhere. Across so many brands and shops. For example, even Allen Edmonds “handcrafted in Wisconsin” shoes have gone up ~$20 per pair of shoes, as they import a lot of the leather from Europe/have other imported “inputs.” So to grab a pair of these bestsellers from J. Crew for under two bills… that’s nice.

Goodyear welted, versatile shape (not overly pointy or elf-ish). Mini lug sole for traction. Also available in black. Pair shown above = the 2021 version. Review of the 2021 version can be found here.

 

Basket-stitch Cotton Crewneck Sweaters – $70.80 ($118)

Also shown at the very top of the post. 100% cotton. Textured knit. For those who appreciate the ease of cotton and/or have an allergy to wool or are extra sensitive to anything that may “itch.”

 

100% Merino Wool V-Necks – $70.80 ($118)

Still no camel option yet? Navy, black, or gray. Merino wool. Yes one can certainly find cheaper options out there, but perhaps these are worth the upcharge over the competition. From reader Toby R.: “I’ve always found J. Crew’s wool sweaters to hit really well at the ‘somewhat budget conscious but also wanting to look nice while being long-lasting and functional’ intersection.”

 

Field Boots in English Leather – $206.80 with $20 off $100 ($378)

Looks like AE’s Higgins Mill, costs half the price. Not gonna be quite the same quality and not made with weatherproof leather, but… you get the idea. Runs on the small side. See our shoe expert’s review of last year’s suede version here.

 

Bowery Performance Stretch Dress Shirts with Spread Collar – $58.80 ($98)

Note: This is another one of those foundation items where buying two and applying the $20 off $100 could pay off nicely. If you bought two (mix/match color patterns if you’d like) then the total would be $97.60 total for members thanks to the $20 off deal. Works out to $48.80 per shirt, which is about half off. So in essence, it’s a BOGO deal.

These shirts are surprisingly good. Maybe not great (like something from Ledbury) but good. Quite good. Lots of colors and patterns, three fits (slim, classic, and tall), and made from a not flimsy feeling twill fabric with good stretch. 67% cotton/28% polyamide/5% elastane. Sold in “alpha” sizes though. So they’re more ballpark than the traditional neck and sleeve measurement shirts you’ll find elsewhere. Size shown above is an unaltered medium slim on 5’10″/185, and it’s a tad too small (especially in the neck) for my normally 16/33 shirt wearing frame.

 

60/40 Barn Jacket – $98.80 with $20 off $100 ($198)

Now half off with the stacking deals. 60% cotton / 40% recycled polyamide for a bit of extra water resistance.

 

Straight-fit five-pocket Pant in Stretch Corduroy – $70.80 ($118)

Boots season is also cords season. So here they be.

 

Secret Wash Cotton Poplin Shirts in slim, classic, tall, or untucked – $58.80 ($98)

Secret Wash Cotton Poplin Shirts in slim, classic, tall, or untucked

Another defacto BOGO (buy one, get one) if you put two in your cart and apply both the SHOPFALL code and log into your account to take an additional $20 off. That would see them drop to $48.80 per shirt ($97.60 for two, normally $98 per shirt when not on sale).

These are their bestselling, lighter weight, broken in feeling but not broken down cotton poplin shirts. The shirts that made J. Crew famous. Slim, classic, tall, or slim untucked fits.

 

Harrington Jacket in Cotton Twill – $86.80 with $20 off $100 ($178)

Shown at the very, very top of the post in green. Hard to get more classic than that. One of their bestsellers/top rated items. Good to see they made it in black as well as navy, along with the usual earth tones.

 

Slim or Straight Fit Bergen 5 Pocket Pants – $70.80 ($118)

J. Crew’s new revamped 5 pockets. Something that’s in-between classic chinos and jeans. It’s the style of pants a lot of us reach for multiple times a week if not almost every day. 97% cotton/3% elastane.

 

Long-Sleeve Textured “Sweater Tees” – $41.70 ($69.50)

A long sleeve tee that’s a bit more than “just” a long sleeve tee.

 

Organic Cotton Chambray Shirt in one-year wash – $58.80 ($98)

Organic cotton chambray shirt in one-year wash

Can look really smart and different under a more casual leaning sportcoat or suit or v-neck. For when you get tired of the same old poplins and oxfords. Chambray is a little more rugged looking, a lot more interesting, but still easy wearing in this “one-year wash.”

 

Slim, Classic, or Tall Fit Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $45 ($75)

A price-increase note: Last year these were $59.50 at full price. This year = $75.

A customer favorite. Their standard weight henleys. Henleys are great, and J. Crew’s vintage-wash fabric has its fans. Not super thick or bulky. Ten colors to choose from.

 

Short-sleeve Vintage-wash Cotton Henleys – $27 ($45)

And now the short sleeves. Something to mix it up when a t-shirt feels too boring and a polo feels like too much. Looks great with shorts, chinos, or jeans.

 

***Note: Anything below this line is final sale and an extra 40% off with the code SHOPFALL***

Lake Shoes in Suede – $84.99 FINAL with $20 off $100 ($195)

For those who feel like boat shoes are too preppy, but still want an easy & casual slip on. Scattered sizes available at post time.

 

100% Cashmere Waffle Sweaters – $82.19 – $95.39 FINAL ($228)

All cashmere crewnecks in a thermal style waffle knit. Final price depends on which color you’re after. Five colors to choose from.

 

Crosby Fit Wool/Linen Sportcoat – $183.99 FINAL with $20 off $100 ($378)

Not their Ludlow fit, but their more generous leaning Crosby. 50% wool, 50% linen from England’s Moon Mill. Half lined in the back for extra breathability.

 

Flight Jacket in Lightweight Cotton Poplin – $87.39 FINAL with $20 off $100 ($198)

Again… final sale so no returns or exchanges. One of those looks that J. Crew excels at. Simple to the point of boring to some eyes, yet really well executed and timeless without looking frumpy to others. Lightweight cotton poplin.

 

Cruiser Jacket in Double-faced Wool blend – $81.99 FINAL with $20 off $100 ($298)

Last year’s very Filson-looking wool cruiser jacket. Still a good selection of sizes left at post time. Nice price, but final sale so nor returns or exchanges.

The J. Crew 40% off select + additional 40% off final sale items code SHOPFALL plus additional $20 off $100 for members runs through Monday October 6th.
