Maybe this can be a case of sour grapes for me. Let me know how the dahlia works out. For the price it is crazy that they are not lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-405070 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:22:47 +0000 Auburn 405070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the wool capris in Dahlia and Yacht Blue RIGHT after getting my catalog, a couple of weeks ago, and the Dahlia were already back ordered until mid-October.<br /> I can't quite tell what is manufactured to be low quantites as a way to drive up demand (LAME) vs. failure to predict how popular certain items will be (DUMB). I think maybe it's a mix of both. Sometimes things do come back in stock but I know that their coats, for example, are very popular and once they are gone, they're often gone--I have been on wait lists and had sales associates trying to find a given coat for me with no luck. Especially true on the small sizes.</p> <p>A specific comment on the cafe capri--I think the fit is a bit weird on these and they are NOT lined which I don't love. I returned the Yacht Blue ones right away to my local J. Crew store (where the sales associate commented how happy they were to have that return as they got ONE size run in those pants and had blown through them already) and will wait and see what I think of the Dahlia when they arrive. They were a bit more fitted through the leg than I would prefer, especially for a work look, but a size up would leave them way too big in waist... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-405068 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:15:28 +0000 bj1111 405068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>many stores do create false scarcity. even nordies did this for syc, holding back merch from pre-sale buyers and my sa couldn't put in the order until the first day of the sale for the public. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-405028 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:57:46 +0000 rae 405028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, how annoying. Way to waste everyone's time, J. Crew. Like I can spend multiple days checking back on your site to see if something that *might* work is in stock. Rude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404966 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:55:25 +0000 Nakidra 404966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed that too online, but my local store has TONS of them so I'm sure they will pop back later on online.<br /> Totally cute, BTW .... I have been lusting after these for awhile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404926 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:10:56 +0000 DressLover 404926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want them sooner rather than later, try a store locate. Store associates can usually track down things "sold out" on the website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404925 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:10:49 +0000 Heather 404925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sobbing*</p> <p>*more sobbing*</p> <p>Someone hold me. :'( I REALLY wanted the Yacht Blue; however, like TXSarah--where is that pre-fall coupon?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404922 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:02:48 +0000 Sarah 404922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting.<br /> Well I hope they restock because I really want the yellow ones. I was just waiting for a coupon or a sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404805 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:38:45 +0000 DressLover 404805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah really. :(</p> <p>I don't know if it has been officially documented, but I have heard first hand from J.Crew employees and read about this on message boards. J.Crew likes to pull its stock of items that get press or blog mentions so everyone gets nice and worked up and then slowly trickles stock back in. Frankly I don't get it. Just more chance more these items to wind up on markdown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404797 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:28:41 +0000 catgirl 404797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REALLY? Is there somewhere I can read about that? It makes me want to boycott them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404795 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:25:10 +0000 DressLover 404795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an old J.Crew tactic dating back to years ago. They still have plenty; they are just creating artificial demand. I wish they'd stop playing with stock levels like that because it just disenfranchises customers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-stuff-sold-out-already#post-404788 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:07:43 +0000 catgirl 404788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just slightly considering the wool cafe capris in the "bright dahlia" - the catalog just arrived. Well, they are GONE, along with most of the other colors. What the...??!</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/pants/PRDOVR~49398/99102446773/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~cafe/49398.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../49398.jsp</a> </p>
