They let you stack the student discount w the additional 40% off? They rarely do that for me, they say we can only use one discount. That's such a good deal though congrats!

I *think* the new rule is, if there is a blanket discount off the entire store, they will not stack discounts. But if its discount off the sale items only, they will. Every now and then I will find an SA who will stack discounts for me even when its a discount on everything. So I always ask even when I expect the answer to be no! Every SA tells me something different about what they will allow and what they won't. During the 30% off pre-christmas sale, a J.crew rep over the phone said they should honor the combined student discount but in store they made a big fuss over it, and then said "this one time only we will combine discounts blah blah blah".

I can't speak for this particular eBay seller, but I can tell you that there are J Crew clearance centers in Lynchburg, VA and Arden, NC. I visited the one in NC - they sell first quality overstocks and returns at a fraction of the original price. It is hit or miss, and I am sure if I lived there, I would hit the store every day! I got a pair of Darby suede slip-ons for $30 and a Lulu Frost necklace for $35.

Keep this in mind you see a seller from VA or NC. They can scoop up bargains and resell them at a good profit.

Sounds about right. The sellers location is Forest, VA which according to google maps is only a 20min drive from Lynchburg. Wouldn't be surprised if she bought out the whole factory clearance store and is now selling for a profit on Ebay! Although her prices aren't too bad, especially considering most of us are located nowhere near a clearance center!

Hey girls!
I wanted to get a couple of tops from J Crew, but I've never worn anything from the brand before and there are no J Crew stores in my country. The whole different sizing thing stays difficult, especially if I don't know the brand!
I've had tanks from Abercrombie before in a size XS and in Zara I usually wear a size S or XS. Should I go for 0 or 2 at J Crew?

What do you think, does J Crew usually run small or large?

I definitely recommend a 0 as J Crew runs large.

Thanks a lot girls, that's really helpful!! In that case I'll definitely get a 0 or even 00.

International izing confuses me so much, when I first came to the States I had done some research for shopping and all the online conversion charts said I was a size 6, but I ended up getting everything in 0 or 2. They should fix those charts!

Good morning! Just wondering if any of you girls have ever shopped with JewelsGood.com for J. Crew necklaces or bracelets. I just happened to come upon this site and saw that they carried quite a selection. They say their items are genuine but just wondering if they are actual authentic J. Crew. Hope for some feedback, many thanks!

I hope this is the right thread to post J Crew shoe sizing question. Could someone who own or has tried on the leather oxfords comment on the sizing? Are they TTS? TIA!

I bought these on NYE and then went on vacation, so I haven't had a chance to wear them. I think I sized up a half-size (can't remember exactly b/c I don't have the shoes with me at the moment).

You aren't the only one confused - I'm born and raised in the Southern USA and still can't figure out why I'm a 00-0 or XS/S in J.Crew when my measurements land me around a size 4-6. J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, among other popular US retailers use vanity sizing in order to flatter the consumer. I wish these companies wouldn't lie to us consumers about how big our @$$ really is, because it's annoying and makes it really hard to shop at times. Good luck with your shopping in the states!

Just have to say my local jcrew had some pretty good customer service. I had a silk shirt that I had planned on returning due to a defect (the cuff just ripped at the seam as I was about to put it on). However I threw away the receipt as I had no plans to return it. Due to the sale they would only be able to give me $60 in store credit. Since I paid more I was thinking "forget it" and I could technically repair it at home (though it's a total pain for me due to the material). The sales girl then offered to have it fixed by the tailor on the house. I appreciated it and took her up on the offer. :) and then when I went to pick it up I ended up spending $30 on the star chambray shirt and merino fair isle leggings. Lol. Guess it wasn't free after all? Haha

I just got the Sabrina double cloth coat in Ivory for 200$ less than the original price. It's possibly one of the most beautiful coats I've ever had. I've had so many compliments on it esp. from women I know who are unbelievably picky.

I got that in Camel earlier this season. I also get a lot of compliments. I didn't get as much of a discount, but still got a good price. What color did you get?
