I forgot to mention that J Crew told me I could return the final sale item to the store, too. I think they say that, but they will take items back under certain circumstances. Good luck. Let me know how you make out. Karen. I forgot to mention that J Crew told me I could return the final sale item to the store, too.

They let me order a size 4 (website). They called the store (Westport CT) to verify that I got it on sale. It is now 50% off, so I paid around $93. It is backordered, so it should ship out around 11/24th. I am going to keep both & decide which one fits better. The blazer is boxy, so I don't know if the 4 will be too tight. I usually wear a size 2 pant w/J Crew, size 4 coats, and S or XS sweaters. I am a true size 4, but there clothes are all over the board for me. I bought the velvet blazers in a size 6. The 6 in the Astrid has a lot of room in the chest. I am about a 36-37 around the chest. As I mentioned in an earlier post, after having children I think my back is broader. I hope that answers your question. If you get the 6 and it is too big, I would immediately call the 800# they were very accomodating to me. Karen. They let me order a size 4 (website).

Now I'm a little worried. I normally wear a size 6 as well. I'm about a 35" around the chest and was told by J Crew CS that the 6 has a chest of 38" - which sounds about right but now I'm thinking that I need a 4 too. Don't mean to be too personal, but are you about the same size as me? Hi Kim, ARGH! Now I’m a little worried. I normally wear a size 6 as well.

I wanted to let you know that I received my blazer today & absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I think the 6 is a little big in the chest area (which is suprising, because I feel I have broad shoulders & usually go up a size w/their blazers). J Crew is on the lookout for a size 4. If I don't find one I am going to have this one taken in. Thanks to all that told me this coat was spectacular. It is even prettier IRL. Hi Everyone.

Nice Score! I am looking for the Acorn Bracelet or the Pinecone-Squirrel Bracelet. If anyone has seen one or both of them in a store, would you kindly let me know? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Karen :) Kim, I’m so happy that you found the Astrid Jacket and the bracelet! Nice Score!

I did get the sale price for the Astrid jacket. I called the Westport, CT store and they told me it was 40% off. They also had the Desert Floral Bauble bracelet & earrings 30% off the sale price, so I added them to my total. Now, if only the necklace had been on sale. Keep your eyes open & let me know!!

Thanks. I used the J Crew locator and they found me one. I just hope I ordered the right size. I went w/a 6. I have the velvet blazer and I bought a 6 in that. I don't know which store they found it at, but I am going to see if I got the sale price, too. Thanks. Hi Karen. Thanks. I used the J Crew locator and they found me one.

They are $179.99 on Final Sale and the store is offering an additional 40% off. I don't know when the extra discount ends but I purchased it yesterday. With the discount it rung up as $112.99 before taxes. I don't know what other sizes they have but give them a call. I had to call about 15 stores before I found one that had a jacket in my size. Only the Blue is on sale. The Charcoal is still full price. The Purple is an online only item and is also full price. I hope you find a blue one. I tried on the blue when it first came out in August. I loved it but could not justify paying full price for it. I'm glad to have purchased it for half off. I have my fingers crossed for you. :) Kim, I purchased my Blue Berry Astrid from the White Plains, NY store. They are $179.99 on Final Sale and the store is offering an additional 40% off.

Lots of website stores/companies do this. I do know a CS store rep once told me things sell online better. I don't think they have to offer sales as much online. I no longer have a store nearby so I buy what I want online. I have had my purple Astrid since the second week it came out and got 20% off it and have worn it so many times pluls it is sold out in my size in purple so would not have paid to wait in this case...
