I have purchased outlet tshirt and I think the quality is outstanding. They are the only tshirts I buy now b/c they look great even after a zillion washes and you can get them at a good price.

I have a vneck sweater and a top from the outlet and both have held up well.

I absolutely despise the factory store, I don't even step in there anymore, it's not at the same quality at all IMO. I often see way better deals at the regular Jcrew store (btw, I'm a total JCrew addict).

bought a couple cardigans from there, not happy with them at all :nogood::tdown: they are 100% cotton while other Jackie cardigans i have are cotton, spandex and nylon blends. the 100% cotton looses its shape very quickly and starts to look faded after just one wash (no dryer), plus the buttons are very loose and when i tried to button it they just didn't stand up sturdily and fasten very securely. they feel very loose and flimsy, would not repurchase.

i did also buy a few plain ribbed tanks and i'm happy with them as far as a basic tank goes

Thanks guys for the info. I have that Gilt 25% off that stacks with the sales, and I can't seem to find anything to buy. I am not buying a jackie outlet sweater for 64 dollars. That is ridiculous. What about shoes? There are some flats on sale.

no, the shoes are horrible, they are not even leather and they don't even label it as faux cheapie plastic.

in love with the multistripe dress - went with my usual j. crew dress size. fyi: it is short (i'm 5ft3).

So cute!! I am not even a dress person, but I need this dress in my life. Sad that it is sold out on the website.

I love the blue one, it reminds me of the colors of Superman. I need to stop coming to this thread, I keep adding things to my Jcrew list. Are these flats true to size?
