Thanks so much for the responses.I think I'm just gonna have to head to a J crew store to try things on for size, and let my decision of whether to buy something I really dont need sit for awhile.

Thank you very much for yourvreply! : )I tried this coat on today, along with many others (Stadium boulevard trench, bow coat and some other trench). I am a size 0 in J.Crew tops, and a size 4 in J.Crew bottoms. the 0 coat in all the styles fit great everywhere except RIGHT at my hips/love handles area. The 2 looked better in the hip area. I was also happy to notice that the sizing was consistent among the styles. I've never owned another J.Crew coat so I can't comment on past season's styles. But if you own another coat from this season, I would take the same size. I would say it runs pretty true to size, the other 3 coats I purchased from other retailers this season were a 2/S
i just got the sequin sweater and i love it so much!definitely looking forward to add more j.crew to my wardrobe 
What's on everyone's wishlist from the Spring 2013 list? I just added a bunch of stuff to my cart, hoping they will all go down in price during the next big sale (I hate buying full price at J.Crew!)
-Colorblock perfect shirt
-crinkle city mini in jade
-painter striped tee in papaya
-collection icon trench
-gwendolyn wedges
Also I was so pleased to find out that you can get the J.crew wallets embossed! At $128 + $10 for embossing, I think this would make a great gift for someone. I know my best friend loves anything monogrammed. I have a feeling I will be gifting these to close friends throughout the year for birthdays, graduations, etc. I checked out the rest of the monogram and I think the cashmere sweaters..especially the Isabel sweater.. would also make a very luxe gift.

I was super excited when I ordered a pair of Sperry's from J.Crew. But then I got an email a few days later saying they were out of stock and were sorry for the inconvenience.
As you can imagine I was super bummed out, and was not too impressed with the way the site was run and their grasp on stocktake

Does J.Crew ship for free if you order from a store? I am looking at the Hacking Jacket in Sheer Mint online but don't want to pay for shipping. Would I be able to ask a store SA to place the order for me and get free shipping? I also would like to order in-store because I could have my student discount applied on top of the extra 30% off sale items.

Renzo how are you able to combine discounts? I have always asked and they say its corporate policy that you cant do this. However im reading about so many tpfers doing this! They honored this for me once a couple months ago because i complained but they were pretty firm the other day.
They will combine the student discount in-store with the extra % off final sale. They won't stack discounts when it is a blanket 25% off your entire purchase though.
How do you know if something is final sale when you purchase in store? I bought items in person that were final sale online but I didn't see anything to indicate that they were final sale. (In the store) I want to return a lavender Tippi but I'm not sure if it was final sale?
Thanks DC-Cutie, I checked my receipt and it was final sale. I'll save the lavender for spring.

That's such a good idea! I would also be interested to know if they ship from stores for free.
Just wanted to say that I finally bought a lady day with thinsulate coat (2011 version purchased on eBay) in size 4 and it's fab. I had previously purchased the wool-cashmere plaza coat with thinsulate (2006 version) in 4p and the sleeves were a little too short and shoulders were a little too narrow and just didn't fit me well despite my 5'3 frame. This size 4 was perfect. I think if you're 5'3 like me with regular length arms, go for regular sizes. I'm very happy with how the regular size fits.
One thing i noticed is that the plaza coat (including interior lining) from 2006 is slightly better quality than my new lady day coat. Oh well. Hope this helps!

Not at my store (SoHo in NYC). They said they can't stack discounts PERIOD, whether is 30% off sale, 20% off entire purchase, 30% off $250... I bought the bow coat on sale just the other day and they would not let me use the student discount. The same thing happened at the J.Crew outlet after Christmas holiday.
I remember back the in day they would definitely do it. When I was in my college years (2006-2010) I remember being able to combine, but lately they haven't been doing it. Can anyone else comment about their local B&M's policy?
