The coat will be with you for a long time.

Crew only toward the end of the winter, so I can't speak for when the coats got heavily discounted (although I do get the sense that last winter's sales were really unbelievable and J. Crew has significantly trimmed inventory to avoid having to discount as much this year). By last March, there were some coats to be had (lots being offered at $100 &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; the 20%-30% discounts), but I don't remember seeing many if any lady day coats. My impression from reading blogs is that that's one of the most popular cuts, so it might be worth it to get it sooner and not wait for the fire sales in late winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100938 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:00:56 +0000 Taffy 100938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to second Sarah... I got my Jcrew coat at 50 % off around this time last year....just keep an eye on the website. I think was only a week long offer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100873 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:21:51 +0000 Sarah 100873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a JCrew coat last year around Thanksgiving for less than half of retail. The personal shopper at our store was so helpful in finding me my size at another location. I just happened to duck in the store the day that all outer wear was marked down an additional 30% off. Definitely check around then because sometimes they mark things down in anticipation for Christmas. You can also find good deals after Christmas, but there's no guarantee that they'll have what you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100868 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:40:14 +0000 shana 100868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year the J Crew coats went on sale around Thanksgiving but it was truly an exceptional year for sales in general. They were super slashed after xmas (around $150 and below) too. Most stores have decreased inventory levels significantly this year however so I don't know if you'll be able to snag such great bargains again. If I recall correctly, the only colors left at the end of the season were black, brown and mustard. There's usually more selection of petites on sale since it is online only.</p> <p>I agree with Ana's points - if you love it, buy it. Also, I don't think the j crew coats on ebay are fakes but there is PLENTY of fake J Crew jewelry (bubble necklaces for example).</p> <p>JCA has a weekly selling post and you might be able to snag a previous year's model for a good deal. I've gotten a few good deals this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100867 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:20:34 +0000 garmenta 100867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are a couple of other places you can check for deals and price comparisons. For deals, retailmenot.com (<a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.retailmenot.com/</a>) is always worth checking. For price comparisons, I like this site (<a href="http://www.beatmyprice.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beatmyprice.com/</a>). For retailmenot, it's online buying, and the other, online search, but it's useful.</p> <p>J Crew has such a following that it has several blogs, where coupons, deals, garments, and fit are eagerly discussed:<br /> <a href="http://jcrewaficionada.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jcrewaficionada.blogspot.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://jcrewaholics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jcrewaholics.com/</a></p> <p>Hope that helps and you find your dream coat at a discount. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100865 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:16:31 +0000 Ana 100865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to anticipate whether an item will go on sale or sell out. I usually don't try to time sales--if I love something and think I'm going to have it for a long time (ie, it's not a "trendy" item), then I just end up buying it when I have the money saved up, rather than waiting for it go on sale. Sometimes the item ends up going on sale after I buy it, and sometimes it sells out. But because I really love it, it doesn't really matter to me either way, I'm just happy to have whatever the item is. Does that make sense? Are you a student or teacher? If so, you can get a 15% discount on full price merchandise at J. Crew.</p> <p>Also, if you are going to wait for it to go on sale, keep an eye on it--if you see other sizes in the same color selling out, then you should probably jump on it. If you are a smaller size, 0, 2, 4 then I wouldn't wait, those go fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100851 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:12:37 +0000 Maya 100851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh gorgeous coat. I don't know about sales, but ebay is totally fine for J Crew. People don't waste time scamming J Crew. Not enough money in it! I have bought a few items in the past and they were fine.</p> <p>There are more fruitful opportunities within premium denim (at least the big brands like CoH and 7FAM), and anything super high end or couture is very questionable. I would not buy a Chanel bag or anything like that. </p> <p>I was a victim of fake premium denim years ago. Now I am probably over-educated on how to tell a fake from the real thing, so I am comfortable with it but I wouldn't advise it unless you've done your homework on cut numbers, styles, labels, and washes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-can-i-get-the-best-deal-on-jcrew-lady-day-coat#post-100846 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:37:35 +0000 cyan45 100846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i just got back from LA (woohoo!), and popped into j.crew to find out what size coat fits. now that i know that the regular (NOT petite), looks best, i have my eyes on the dark poppy lady day coat.</p> <p>however, i have limited funds and need some advice: when can i get the best deal, and do you think that style/color will sell out fast? i don't NEED it ASAP, but since i hear the color is popular, i don't want to wait around and end up disappointed.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/outerwear/wool/PRDOVR~79203/79203.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../79203.jsp</a></p> <p>also, what do you think of j.crew coats on ebay? the real deal or a scam?<br /> thanks! </p>
