How do you find the quality? The first jumper I bought two days ago ... while looking great on ... has a small hole in it under the arm so not impressed. I got it in the Net a Porter 70% off sale so unfortunately I can't get an exchange - it's a refund or live with it and sew it up!

If its got a hole its faulty - return it.

I find j crew fab to be honest, their customer service is amazing and I've found the quality amazing.

Was really disappointed with two J. Crew T-shirts I bought on holiday, one wash and the seams twisted...

MrsCampbellBlack · 10/01/2014 20:55

You should have returned them olivia.

I ordered some pyjamas recently and only the bottoms turned up so they just refunded me the cost but told me to keep the bottoms.

pixelchick10 · 10/01/2014 20:59

Mine are J Crew brand but from Net a Porter

Pixel which one did you get? Can you link? I think I may have got the same one.

MrsCampbellBlack · 10/01/2014 21:03

Speak to nap pixel - they're normally very good at customer service.

I love J Crew but Tbh I've never been that impressed with their T-shirts. They are particularly good at coats and cashmere sweaters. I like the look of their suiting but I've no need for workwear so can't vouch for that side of things. The shoes are well-made but the sizing can vary quite a bit, so careful there. If you buy directly from the site they are very good about refunding you quickly upon return. The best thing to do is check the website regularly for markdowns on trusted items and then snap them up as soon as they hit sale. I've also had good luck with J Crew coats bought NWT from Ebay.

pixelchick10 · 10/01/2014 21:21

Thanks all. Marsha it's this one

Yes! I really like mine too. What a shame they can't exchange.

pixelchick10 · 10/01/2014 21:28

No large ones left in stock though will keep monitoring the site :(( I might just keep even though it's faulty

If you love it, I'd be tempted to get it mended by someone.

I know it's a pita.

And if it makes you feel a bit better I paid more as bought too early Grin

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2014 21:35

Too early in the sale that is, classic error. I could have got 70% off.

CatAmongThePigeons · 10/01/2014 21:37

I have a J crew t-shirt and it's incredibly thin, it has also laddered which I'm gutted about.

MrsCampbellBlack · 10/01/2014 21:40

Cat - return it or email [email protected] - seriously they are very good at customer service, as is nap.

faustina · 10/01/2014 21:45

My jcrew tshirts haven't lasted well either - they're the vintage cotton ones. Won't be buying them again. The cashmere is v good - as good as Brora. Prices have gone through the roof since last year though!

i agree with Mrs cb about the customer service - except when they answer emails they always say "thanks for reaching out to us" Grin

MrsCampbellBlack · 10/01/2014 21:57

Yes, it always makes me laugh to email julie though.

I don't think any t shirts last well from new look to wang/splendid whatever

pixelchick10 · 10/01/2014 22:09

My Whistles ones do last and old H and M! And very cheap Next too ...

pixelchick10 · 10/01/2014 22:10

Good to know their customer service is v good tho'

OP posts:
faustina · 10/01/2014 22:13

no - I have a couple of Splendid ones which have lasted me Mrs CB. The best have been ASOS though. So no price-quality ratio with tshirts for me!

MrsCampbellBlack · 10/01/2014 22:20

No, I think its best to spend less on t shirts and buy often. But then I only ever buy from j crew when there's a discount code and its the sale.

pixelchick10 · 17/01/2014 21:51

Just an update - I now have a replacement jumper from Net A Porter - excellent customer service
