Another J. Crew Sample Sale

Thursday through Thursday, 9/10-9/17, Clothingline is hosting another J. Crew sample sale. In January, and then again in April, we found an so-so selection of $25 shirts (medium only), $35 dress shirts, $60 cashmere sweaters (medium only), $35 cotton and wool sweaters (medium only), $20 shorts, and $25 chinos and cords.

Report from the field as of Thursday afternoon: "Decent -- If you wear MEDIUM shirts and sweaters, and 32 x 32 pants. There are a few larges in shirts, sweaters, vests, and blazers. I scooped up a large sweatshirt, and a bigger cut medium shawl collar cardigan. That was it for me. There's a good selection of outerwear - peacoats, raincoats, a few topcoats, some puffer vests...lots of jeans, and some cords. TONS of cashmere sweaters -- mostly in medium, but a few other sizes too. "

Hats off to Prepidemic Magazine and Debonair Magazine for the heads up -- definitely two resources to check out.

    Skip this sale ... j crew at clothingline is terrible every single time. The merch is crappy, some of it is marked "sample" in permanent marker. The service is awful and they berate you for attempting to try anything on. Check out j. crew's outlet stores or keep an eye on their in-store sale racks.

    have to disagree with that. i've gotten some great finds at the sale in merch.(dress slacks, wovens, etc.) and sizes(med. 32x32) that are rarely in stock on sale. a lot of it's marked sample and some of its damaged...don't buy that. i got a great wool duffle a few sales ago marked sample on the breast pocket,which isn't apparent from the outside. yeah, the service is sh*t, but you shouldn't expect bloomie's type service. you can snag much better deals on much better quality gear given the caveats noted.

    i agree with uwsclotheshorse. i've gotten great pieces there, especially at the end of the sale when they add additional markdowns. obviously, if you're not a standard sample size it probably won't work as well for you...
