Wow! Who would have thought these two tees would sell out so quickly? I ordered the Elephant Parade Tee when it first came out and then had to search for the Gold Elephant Tee.
~ Elephant Parade Tee, Small ~
The description said this was a “Slightly loose fit.” so I sized down and ordered the Small. I would feel a little more comfortable in the Medium but the Small fits fine. If you want it to fit a little loose, go with your normal size. This looks so much more lux than I had imagined. You can see the White Elephants are more saturated IRL than the online image, which shows them to look almost gray. This is a cotton blend and so comfortable. I’m afraid I’ll end up using it as a sleep shirt too which will mean laundering it more and maybe having the navy fade quicker. We shall see.
~ Gold Elephant Tee, Large ~
No, I did not buy this because I wanted it so badly and it was the last one left. 😉 MamaBella called me with orders from the catalog she received and when she did, this was sold out online. She was so disappointed as this is the second time something she’s really wanted was sold out. The first time was with the Dutch Floral Cropped Sweatshirt. I was able to call Customer Service and they found it quickly for me. This time she said, “Call your people and have them find it.” LOL! “My people…” which I guess you JCAs are. Anyway, I called CS two days in a row and they couldn’t find it. I finally contacted my in-store VPS and they had just received new stock that day! As soon as she let me know they had one I immediately drove over to the store to get it. I was going to save the tee as a Christmas surprise but I had to tell her since “my people” helped me find it.
This is a Large and fits over-sized, of course. Personally, I would probably get the Medium just to have a little more loose fit. The Small would probably fit exactly, like the Elephant Parade Tee above. Also, this is a Poly/Linen so it might shrink some if accidentally put in the dryer, which I’d probably do. And the pretty gold elephant could melt. I really like this tee but choosing between the two would stick with the Elephant Parade Tee.
As of now, both are back in stock online. Also, check your stores or call Customer Service. GIVETHIS gets you 30% off on select items, including these two tees, as well as sale items.
Have a Great Day!

I purchased both tees — they are versatile and fun. They did go out of stock quickly online (my orders were cancelled), but then the stores received a shipment, and then they received them again online. The tees are comfortable, and the other tees I purchased recently with the same material content, do shrink in the dryer. So, the size small tee, I would definitely hang to dry. I'm really not a t-shirt person, but I guess that's the most appealing item I think I've found at J. Crew recently (and maybe why they just lost over $600 million for the quarter). I love the reindeer tee from yesterday's post. Thanks for all your reviews!
Hi CC! Thanks for the tip on the Small size I bought. I have had so many laundry incidents and shrink things all the time. Glad you liked yesterday's post too!
Wondering how sheer they are compared to JC's recent t-shirt offerings. They look great!
