The J Crew Factory is running a 50% off everything promo right now both in-stores and online, no code needed. I was able to stop by on Thursday and but only had time to grab what I would buy. The Excursion Vests were only 30% off but that’s more than the normal $5 off I’ve seen in-store.
~ Warmspun Fair Isle Sweater, Small ~
The Small fit very well on me so I wouldn’t size up to my normal Medium. I felt I could still get a layer under this and be comfortable. Wasn’t this print done as sweater leggings last year in Retail? I don’t recall this as a sweater. The darker color is navy and not black so it would pair with a lot of bottoms in my closet. This is a lovely sweater but this type of Fair Isle is not really my style.
~ Side-Button Elbow-Patch Sweater in Stripe, Olive Mist Navy, Medium ~
This is big on me in the Medium. I would size down to a Small. I have started to be more consistent with wearing a size Small in Factory sweaters so I should now consider that my “normal” size. I loved this sweater and didn’t notice the elbow patches until I looked it up online. I would lay around all-day Sunday watching football in this sweater.
~ Fair Isle Sweater, Medium ~
I have the retail version of this sweater and I don’t see a difference. I have the retail version of this button-down as well and have worn the two together. I don’t regret getting the retail version of the sweater because I wore it quite a bit. The Medium was the better fit, especially with a layer underneath. I definitely would have bought this if I didn’t have last year’s exact version.
~ Embroidered Cheers Sweater, Medium ~
This ran a little big through the body so I would size to a Small. I immediately saw me wearing this with the Gold Stripe Mini Skirt (Factory sister) I bought from last year. This should sell well. The material is really soft, almost a cashmere feel. The embroidery is well done as well.
~ Foulard Sweater, Medium ~
This is not online, maybe sold out? I took a pic of the tag but it came out blurry. I loved this sweater and so did a whole lot of other people. There were only 5 left in the whole store. This ran a little small so I’d actually size to a Large.
All of these sweaters were so cozy against bare skin/no layers, especially the Side-Button Sweater and Cheers Sweater.
I”m running a little behind today. I’ll have more reviews later.
Have a Great Day!

That foulard sweater especially looks fantastic on you!
I was thinking about buying the first fair isle sweater. I love the bright colors, although I think I have too many of that "type" of sweater. Thanks for the reviews!
Thanks SO much for these reviews! I've been wondering about the fair isle sweater, so it's great to see it IRL!
