I had an office visit on Thursday and finally had time after to stop by the J Crew Factory to try on all the new Fall arrivals. There were all sorts of different promos and then the Gilt 30% off coupon applied on top of that. All promos listed in the next few Factory posts were as of Thursday. They seem to change almost overnight and/or for the weekend.

~ Slim Stretch Wool Pant, Olive Moss, size 8 ~
I originally thought these were the Skimmer Pant in Wool until I got home and saw they weren’t. The fit is a little snug in the 8 but nothing a little Spanx-ing couldn’t take care of. These are not lined and felt a little itchy. The Olive Moss is a beautiful color too. Loved!
 

~ Winnie Pant in Stretch Twill, Navy, size 8 ~
These were a very nice fit. Very similar to the Minnie in a size 6, including the length. They were 20% off in-store. There was one pant left in the Pinot Noir color. I passed on these since I have 2 pairs of Navy pants. 
 

~ Frankie Chino, Vintage Aubergine, size 8 ~
I loved this color! The fit was TTS compared to the Andie Chino, The length might be just a little longer than the Andie. No complaints from these pants. Would have loved to have gotten them but the Andie Chino in Deep Garnet also caught my eye. These were 20% off. Also, the Tuxedo Stripe were 50% off in store as of Thursday.
 

~ Toothpick/Skinny Ankle Jean, Classic Rinse, size 30 ~

I need another pair of jeans like I need another pair of shoes but at 50% off the deal was too good to pass up. All Toothpick/Skinny Ankle Jeans were 50% off and then the Gilt coupon applied on top of that. I bought these for $28. The Classic Rinse denim is a little stiffer so I went with the size 30. If the denim is softer then I can get a 29.

As soon as I can, I’ll have more reviews up. A few highlights were $5 off on the Excursion Vests but the Gilt coupon will not apply, Horsing Around Sweatshirts were 30% off (online doesn’t have them on promo), Wool Blazers were 50% off and the Isabelle in Houndstooth are GORGEOUS!

Until the next Factory post!

I had a little time in the week to head to the Factory store (um….twice) to make some returns and check out the new arrivals. Promos changed from “everything in the store up to 50% off” to “…60% off”. I’ll be breaking this up into a few different posts as there was so many things I tried on. I really loved this latest Factory Roll-out.

Boy Jean, size 28 – These are supposed to be the Factory version of the Vintage Straight Jean. My size in those is 28 so I grabbed the same for the Factory. These just fit in this size but I think the size 29 would be too loose. I wasn’t looking for these and just tried on in case those of you aren’t near a Factory store. My verdict is to size down if you are looking for a super casual Saturday pair.

Skinny Ankle Jean in Dark Rinse, size 29 & 30 – I ordered these in the Northport Wash during the Early Access. I saw them in-store as well as the Classic Rinse and preferred the Classic Rince instead. I’m a 30 in the Toothpick Jeans but have been sizing to a 29 in the Factory version. You can see the size 30 are bunchy in the front. They get a little loose throughout the day so the front would be really saggy at the end of the day in the size 30. Toothpick Jeans were 40% off on Saturday and then changed to 50% off on the next Wednesday.

The Northport Wash…

Skimmer Pant in Chambray, size 6 – I have been searching for these as well and they finally arrived in last week’s roll-out. They are comfortable on and fit looser than the Skimmer Pant in Oxford that I ended up returning but only because I bought these instead. These were 50% off in-store both days.

I bought everything but the Boy Jean. I will hem the Skimmer Pant and have already worn the Ankle Toothpick in Dark Rinse twice. Also, the Factory Matchstick Jeans were 60% off, if you are a fan of those.
