J.Crew Factory

With low prices and great threads, what could go wrong?
Everyone here was very helpful today. I had a few questions and had them answered in no time. This store was also very clean compared to other j crew outlets I’ve been too with very messy shelves and scattered clothes.

I’m not slim fit nor is my frame the same for which they determine an XL.
It made me depressed shopping here.

The J. Crew Factory Store has been a generally good buy for those who want J. Crew clothes off season by about a month or three. However, there are many things to consider as a guy who has come here several times. Take note that the Christmas season, particularly the weekend before, is the best time to visit the place. I got 70% off everything, and laughed all the way home. Don’t forget the military discount either, for all active veterans (10% off).
The factory store offerings many good things for guys, namely button up shirts that have washed patterns perfect for the casual afternoon look. Most of the patterns are slightly bold (colorful in spring or slightly darker for evening/​fall/​winter) or traditional, but not too flamboyant which is great for those venturing out. For those conservative 90’s traditional types who wear black, grey, or blue solids there is some remnant of those styles. However, they seem to be few and farther between peak shopping periods at the store. I am currently noting pant sizes to be between 28 and 38, while shirt sizes go from XS to XL at this store. Newer patterns focus on dark blue, with lighter color pants, and solid henleys best suited with some Converse Chuck Taylors or chukkas. It seems to be the look these days for the working yuppie, and manipulated by the hipster in all kinds of unique ways.
Although I am not a fan of the prices here most of the year, I like to take advantage of holiday sales. Furthermore, the quality of their clothing is far better than what I find at Gap and often Banana Republic. Take note that there is a fitting room to try on your clothes, and during this holiday season there may be a line. Parking for this store is best in the middle of the lot, as it is near the entrance to one of the shopping plaza. Coming from the south, you should exit Carmen for less traffic.

Good selection certain times during the year. If you like J Crew, there are always things to buy at Camarillo!
TIP: sign up for the mailing list to get special coupons and be notified of sales.

This is probably my favorite outlet store at Camarillo. I always walk out with something, whether that’s good or bad! They have a great selection, and always have good sales.
This past weekend, we had an extra 20% off coupon, so I struggled to make it to the $ 125 cap, but when my bf added a polo the price actually dropped! The lady at the register asked if I wanted to keep going, but I figured I wouldn’t push my luck. No arguing with the computer if it wants to give me additional discounts! Score!

J. Crew is great. The J. Crew Factory Store is NOT. You can hardly call it a J. Crew. First, it was absolutely packed and there was literally nobody around to help me find what I was looking for.
Second, although they have great deals, you get what you pay for! The fabric is completely different from the normal J. Crew, and you can even tell by the labels they use on the clothes.
Go for quality and go to the non-​factory stores!

Assuming you go during a day that is not a retail holiday /​frenzy it is a perfectly fine place to shop and they often have incredible sales. Last I went I believe they were taking something like 53% off. Sure, why not.
Being an outlet, I recommend going early because later in the day the Camarillo outlets are terribly busy. And yes it is a bit far, but I still find it worthwhile.
That said, the factory website has opened up fulltime, so perhaps that is something to use if the drive is a little daunting.

Love coming here on the weekdays to see if they have extra special sales. Typically the J. Crew Factory store online is more expensive than the actual store by 10−30%.

When you check out, the cashiers always ask if anyone helped you. And if no one did, they always apologize. I usually love coming to Jcrew because the outlets have cheap sales and on top of that, you can use your student ID to get 15% off for everything (including SALES!!!). AWESOME!
They have a large variety of sizes for women from XXS to XL (I think)? Quality of the clothing is awesome! I love their cardigans!

Amazing! Worth a 30 miles drive because this place has the deals. A third of the price of the regular chain.

J. Crew: A very classy place to shop for work or your everyday wear. The quality is much better than other places but the price tag reflects it. The outlet prices are somewhat more reasonable with most items at least 20% off if not more. Plus, I’m forever a student so that’s extra 15% off for me! Score.
I really enjoy their knitwear and jewelry although I must say the jewelry is way overpriced even with the 20% off. A lot of the things I wanted are out of my size. Obviously they were good deals so XS/​S are all sold out. I find it interesting that solids and prints are always different in price, but I guess solids are more classic pieces so that’ not a problem for me.
I did pick up some pants that my friend recommended. They were great skinny, crop fit pants. Perfect for anyone that’s 5’4 and under if you want something just above your ankles. So, my friend sold me– and I bought the same style in 3 different colors. She should have gotten some commission for that.
I didn’t have any issues going into the fitting room or the registers. The fitting room associate was a little on the quiet side but she did get another size for me. The cashiers were both friendly (since I had to stand in line twice).
I’ve always loved J. Crew so I’ll probably be back for more great finds :)

You know, it’s just fine.
Beware of «made for outlet» items. I was in here looking for clothes for my toddler (they don’t carry children’s clothes, btw) and ended up in the SALE! racks. The shirts there were not made for human women. I’m assuming they were made for giant rectangular creatures. I ended up buying a loose-​fitting «peasant» top in purple, in a size XXS. I’m athletic, fairly tall, and usually wear a size 4 in pants, but I’m really not an XXS, more an S. ‘ve worn the shirt twice, and i’m just not excited about it. It looks and feels cheap (So do you! Ba dum bum).
I did end up buying a cute little strapless dress that was hanging out in the front of the store. It was a steal at less than $ 40, and has some quality features to it. Wore it to a wedding.
So, as with any outlet, I’d say, beware the impulse purchase! Customer service here was just fine.

I wish Unilocal!Would allow zero stars! I was there the other day and got ZERO customer service! Not even a «Hello». I even had to search for the fitting room AND get my own fitting room! It wasn’t even crowded, and they seemed to have adequate floor coverage.
I needed a dress for an event and they (unfortunately) had one I liked. I’m still on the hunt for a different dress, so i can return the one i bought. They had two ladies at the register, one was helping out a customer with some issue. (He was on the phone talking to some other J. Crew rep, she was folding his items.) I haven’t a clue what the other lady was doing, but was clearly to bothered to even acknowledge me. Neither ladies did the typical. «I’ll be right with you.» I didn’t even get. «sorry for the wait.» «did you find everything ok.» «thank you.» when I finally got to the register.
I used to work in retail, I was just absolutely stunned at the lack of anything there, if anything. It would be a shoplifters haven there.
IF you must ship at J. Crew, go online or go to the mall. Deals, or no no deals, the lack of service isn’t worth it– unless your gonna seek out lifting.

Average women’s last season choices, but way more to choose on the men’s side. It’s a hit or miss, but lately, I haven’t had any luck.

Disappointment visit! I bought these ties that were priced as 39.50 with 50% off and rung up as 42.50. The tie wasn’t marked as the 42.50 so it didn’t make sense to charge me that invisible price. I returned the ties because it didn’t make sense to me to pay for a price that is non existently priced.
I think management needs to tend to this discrepancy.

Usually, I hate outlets. Too crowded, too many eager shoppers, desperation clings to the air. Parking is a mad house. It offends my sensibilities. This is coming from a bargain hunter herself.
While this outlet boasts a variety of designer names, there are only a few stores worth your time. (Unless your idea of an idyllic Sunday afternoon is standing outside of Coach in a line wrapped around the store, surrounded by every Asian ethnicity on the planet.) That would be Banana Republic, J Crew, Ann Taylor and BCBG.
I will need to make an annual trip to these outlets simply because of J.Crew. The quality was great, service fantastic, and selection varied. I was so surprised that their prices were so incredibly reasonable (for once). This was my inventory:
J.Crew:
— White collared business shirt $ 25
— Brown corduoy pants $ 41
— Feeling smug for not overpaying Priceless
I wanted to buy out the whole damn store but this is a recession after all. Again, service was impeccable. Their manager was clear, concise, friendly and knowledgeable. Fan-​tastic.

J. Crew outlets are much like the full-​line stores in appearance and cleanliness; customer service is generally good and frequent sales make happy customers. I was disappointed to find on my recent visit that this outlet is completely devoid of items from the full-​line store, meaning that this is no longer a great place to get quality items at a steal (my sole reason for shopping there). Then again, I can’t stay mad for long when my new favorite hair accessory only cost $ 3.

This store is alright — best during sales. Caveat emptor: the quality is not always that great. I bought an expensive, trendy t-​shirt with sequined appliques that nearly fell apart after only 2 wearings. I took it back and it had been more than 90 days so the manager wouldn’t refund me. It wasn’t until I amped up my complaint a bit (threatening to bring Amex into the dispute) that she agreed to refund me for the poorly sewn shirt.
Also, as I was standing in line waiting to speak to the manager, I was surrounded by racks of cheap belts and plastic bangles marked in the $ 20-​$ 30 range, which blew my mind. This is supposed to be an outlet yet here they were displaying China-​made garbage worth less than one dollar and had the audacity to mark them $ 20 and over. That’s certainly worth a double-​take. Did you say this was an outlet?
