Hi ladies...I'm looking to,get a JCrew puffer and was wondering if anyone could comment on the difference between the retail and factory versions......warmth, style etc....thanks :smile1:

I have last year's Factory puffer. It says the filling is a minimum 70% down, with remainder waterfowl feathers. It is plenty warm enough for my climate (mid-Atlantic) and what I like is that it never seems too hot either. The lining and outer is polyester.

I have never seen the retail one, though, so I can't compare.

Go with the retail version. The factory is poly filled. The retail Currently has a puffer thats a combination of down and poly. However, if you wait a bit j crew usually comes out with a 100% down filled, that's the one to get. It's more expensive, but worth it. They also go on sale pretty quickly it seems.

The factory version is pretty flimsy and offers zero warmth.

I bought the puffer last year right after Thanksgiving, it was a great sale online and free shipping, great deal! It's perfect for the Pacific Northwest winter, esp with the hoodie. Really regretted not getting it in other colors when it was on further clearance. I did get the double cloth lady day coat in a cobalt blue when they went on clearance. All ready for winter now!

Hi all! Haven't posted in some time. Anyway, does anyone have feedback on the stadium-cloth cocoon jacket? They have a 25% sale for outerwear and just curious if anyone has tried this on in the store or bought it already?

I'm petite so I'm not sure if this coat will overwhelm me, but I like the idea of getting a roomier coat, especially with some of my thicker sweaters in the winter.

I love the dublin green color!

I received my black velvet Schoolboy EBay purchase yesterday. It was just as described (NWT) and a nice addition to my blazer collection:smile1:

How are you styling it? I have two of them (eggplant and dark navy) and every time I try to wear them, my outfits either look frumpy or costumy. I am looking for fresh inspiration ;)

There is some good stuff in sale. I returned and repurchased the new blue thick tartan flannel (I think that's what it is called- it is bright blue and orange). It was 45 ish, then 25% off and then 15% student discount. Great deal! It is super thick and is going to be super warm.

Small rollout in my store, not much though. I wouldn't have noticed if my VPS hadn't pointed a few things out to me. Next one supposed to be Oct 23ish. Can't wait!!

Was in store today and was told @ checkout that they no longer combine sale % off with teacher/student 15% off discounts per a memo sent out earlier this week. Has anyone else been told the same?

I don't know if there is an official policy. I have been told yes or no depending on location and SA. I was expecting for them to say no. :shrugs:

My store price matches the online sales on ceces. I think there are a couple leather/suede ones on sale right now for $89.99-99.99. If you have the same ones in the store, they should match it.
