You're totally right, I bought a J Crew cashmere in store last year and it wasn't that great. I just can't find any good cashmere that I can afford lately, so I'm just hoping these will at least be cute.

Have you tried Aqua? It's a little better quality wise and about the same price wise. When it goes on sale, I get it at Bloomingdales, it's totally affordable. I try and stock up during after holiday sales in Jan/ Feb. The important thing is I've been happy with the quality, I expect my cashmere to last more than one season Aqua does, J Crew doesn't a lot of the time.
 
I hope they bring back the swiss dot Tippi. How stupid of me when I saw it in August and didn't buy it. At the time I found it too pricey and though I'd wait for a markdown, then it sold out completely!
 
It popped up yesterday. It's best to get up early in the morning, that's when sokd out items pop up

Oh no! I wish there'd be a feature to set up an alert. Onto more stalking, then! If you see it again and you remember, do you think you could shoot me a message?

Also, I've seen people take their normal Tippi size in this and others say it runs large. Which is true?

I got my normal size. Check as soon as you wake up every morning. When I am looking for a pop back I look everyday! Before 8 EST is the best time to get something. You could also try WFIFY but I have not had the best luck with that service.

I still haven't worn mine because it just got cold here this week, but I keep seeing it on tv and on blogs so I'm looking forward to using it!! I knew as soon as I saw it on Katie Holmes online it would sell out.
 
I love J Crew's perfect fit long sleeved tees! I wish that they'd ship for free. :sad: I've got a J Crew near me but when they have a sale my size disappears ASAP and I'd rather order online. I just bought a red buffalo plaid shirt and I love it!
 
Are the factory items cut true to size. There is a dress I want for work but not sure if I should order an 8 or a 10. I normally fit an 8 but I have kinda large boobies so I'm not sure. I wish I knew if they had it in a store.

If you get them to place the order for you in store you will get free shipping. I never pay for shipping, I either order during promos or bring a list of what I want to my store to order.

I find the factory dresses run about a size smaller than retail. I wear a 00 in most retail dresses but can wear a 0 in the factory suiting dresses.
 
Does anyone have the booker boots? I usually buy Frye boots but I really like these. Are they as good of quality as Frye? I haven't been thrilled with the quality of J.Crew shoes for the price. I really like their flats but only on deep discount.
 
I received the Edie Calf Hair wallet today and noticed the j crew tag has the retail as $128. Online and in store the retail is $198.

Anybody else notice this?

Weird, I just bought an Edie wallet (red leather) today in store and the tag said $128 on it as well! But they had marked it down to $39.99 + 25% + student discount so it was a steal. I don't understand the price discrepancy though.

What!! $39?

Ok, Nevermind, I see you got the red leather. Not the calf hair.
