I have ordered online from Jcrew pretty consistently for the past two or three years and just got my first cancellation of order notice the other day. I am pretty bummed and shocked since they seem to be pretty good with inventory.
 
Does anyone know how the J. Crew Factory Shorts fit? Do they run small or large?

I want to get a pair of these, but I've never worn J Crew before and there's no store in my country so there's no way to compare. I wear a 26 in Sevens and XS in Abercrombie - should I go for a 0 or 2?
 
I was looking forward to JCrew coming to the UK but it's shady business what they're doing matching prices with the US , even with 20% VAT in UK and there is still a huge profit they are making here!!! Oh not to mention that UK website discount codes never ever match the US ones , totally unfair . I will stick to LK Bennett , Reiss and the like for far better value IMO

It sucks, but EVERY company does that in Europe.
I used to be an Abercrombie fan when I was in highschool, I was pretty excited when they opened their first store in my country but of course everything was super overpriced. The hoodies that are $68 in the US are actually €88 over here!
Same with Levi's, jeans that are $78 are €109 here... It's absolutely ridiculous and it makes me want to move! Now where can I sign up for a green card?
 
Has anyone washed their Jcrew Pixie/Jcrew Factory Gigi pant? I just washed my twill Minnie's after a Jcrew employee said they wash it at home, and they came out fine. Wondering if I should take a chance since it's not wool. I would do delicate wash and hang dry. Thoughts?

Also, my wool Minnie's stretch at least 2 sizes larger (and I even sized down to avoid this) after a few wears and dry cleaning is getting pricey. Has anyone dared to throw their wool Minnie's in the washer to shrink it a bit?

What color are your twill minnies? Why I ask is because I hand washed my black minnnies and the first couple times were a nightmare they bled dye like crazy!

I have both pixie and gigi pants and hand wash them. No issues with bleeding.

Thanks, I'm gonna try washing my pixie/Gigi's at home too. My twills are black. I washed them in my HE washer with no middle bar, which is pretty much as delicate as hand washing, and the other clothes I washed it with were fine. Didn't notice any excessive bleeding but I also washed it with all black clothes so maybe I just couldn't tell.
 
Hey everyone, has anyone here gotten their Jcrew clothes altered? I am buying a blazer and since I am petite, I have to get the sleeves shortened. For anyone who has done that to their Jcrew blazers, is it a relatively easy process? I going to take it to a tailor, how much did you pay to get them shortened? I just want to know the relative ballpark of the cost since I have never done this before. Thanks in advance.
 
Going on vaca. I have the crystal necklace with the one white flower from last year. Wanted to take it with me as my "statement" piece for dinners out, but the darn thing is so heavy I'm afraid airport security will go bonkers. I would never pack jewelry in my luggage. My question is, has anyone traveled with any of themheavier jewelry pieces and how did it go? Side note I was shopping today and I got 20% off with my j crew card, I didn't see any signs so asked if it was a sale and they said no it was because I used my card, that was it no explanation. A little weird, but any percent off is good to me. Also I went in for a price adjustment and the item was not on sale in the store and they gave me a price adjustment anyway, is this new? I know in the past they always told me catalog and store prices were different and independent of each other.

I travel with my jewelry in a case that I throw into my carryon. I've never had a problem and there is usually one or two pieces from J.Crew (including more recently my gray crystal brooch necklace which is on the heavier side compared to some of my pieces). Hope that helps! I had no issues with security.
