Get classic J. Crew style from J. Crew Factory. Buy discount men’s clothing, women’s clothing, and kids clothing. Find great deals on sweaters, dresses, suits, shoes, accessories and jackets.
I only buy clothes for myself two times a year: the week after Thanksgiving and the week after Christmas… and this is one of the few stores that gets action from me. Why pay full price for an oxford elsewhere when you can get it for 50−75% less here? I usually go between the website and the physical store to see who will give me the best deal after coupons/coupon codes. Upstairs is men’s, downstairs is women’s. I’ve never called upon their staff for help because they always seem to be engrossed in conversations about upcoming work hours, or badmouthing another employee who apparently has a terrible work ethic. This thankfully leaves me more alone time to talk myself out of purchasing my 17th lambswool quarter zip sweater. Gotta have every shade, you know. Winter lasts for like 14 months here in Maine, and you’re going to need every sweater you can get your hands on! Good location, just a short walk down the hill from LL Bean. Parking can be tricky on the weekends, so try and hit it up on a week day or night.

Loved visiting the Freeport, ME J. Crew Factory Store on a fall afternoon. The bottom floor is women’s(with the far back corner for Crew Cuts) and they have many factory styles that aren’t sold in regular J. Crew stores. They have a fair shoe selection, from boots to flats, and a great selection of cashmere sweaters, of course! I was unimpressed with their dress shirts, tees, and blouses. There are always great deals at this store, and if you’re looking for J. Crew jewelry, this is the place to get it for 40%+ off discounts! The men’s store has dress shirts and casual button downs as well as a wide variety of pants from khakis to jeans. Their socks and boxers selection could use a boost. Wish I needed jewelry or shoes because I would have had better luck!

The J. Crew Factory Store in Freeport is one of our must-stops when galavanting around the area, but I only occasionally walk out with a bag. I like some of the clothes here(the ones that don’t make me feel like a heffer, anyway, pants just do not work for me at this place). I find their business casual clothes to be stiff and personality-less. My real gripe with the factory store is that the prices are absurd. Everything in the store – belts, simple shirts, shoes, etc. – starts at $ 50 and moves up from there. I suspect it’s so they can make it seem like a HUGEDEAL by advertising«Entire store, 40% off!» This never-ending sale just serves to bring the goods to a more reasonable price point for the quality and style, it certainly doesn’t feel like outlet pricing. There are only 2 fitting rooms downstairs(not sure if there are more upstairs) so the line can get very long, very quickly. I give bonus points to the associates for keeping the place spotless because it can get crowded fast. Pro tip: If you have a student ID(or if you’re a teacher), you can get an additional 15% off your order, even on sale items.

Love this place! They are always dog friendly! Usually the girls fuss over my dog and I always find something I like here. Somehow, the way they display the clothes makes me want to buy more even more so than at other jcrew stores or jcrew outlet stores. It also feels like their prices are lower plus, they do the 15% discount for students like at other jcrew places.

Decent prices on statement necklaces and other accessories you’ll see in past seasons’ lookbooks. I usually go about 5x a year to score 40 percent(at least) discounts on jewelry, hats, scarves, and other small accessories.

First experience going outlet shopping and it was a memorable one for me. This J Crew location had a ton of things on sale for St Patties day weekend. I mean it’s already marked down because it’s an outlet store but if you go on a holiday weekend it’s marked down even more. Staff was very friendly and more than helpful. I got a pair of relaxed fit jeans and i think 3 or 4 pairs of summer shorts for well below the cost of what i would have to pay retail. Extremely happy with the entire experience.

I am going to say outright that the only reason I went into J Crew was because I have been on a massive search for rain boots. Not just any rain boots, though. These boots will have to go with the plethora of dresses I like when rain and snow come to Denver. So, there I was walking around the outlet town of Freeport when my eyes fell on a candy store! Woot! I dragged my boyfriend in that direction when all of the sudden my eyes fell on a window display full of rain boots! Double Woot! After browsing the candy store and going into the wrong store due to a mistaken idea about which display window belonged to whom, I ended up in J Crew. I can’t recall ever being in one of these chains before, perhaps because most of my clothes came from the 50s? Anyway I hit pay dirt. My rain boots are pink. And are you ready for this? They have little bicycles all over them!!! It was like somebody made them just for me. Best of all I only paid like $ 30 for them because it was an outlet store. I strolled out of there happier than when I left the candy store. And that’s really saying something for a girl like me. Um, I also think J Crew sells clothes, but I can’t confirm that. ;)

For a long time, I was against J. Crew, but now their pants are the only kind that fit me right. Damn them! Since this is a factory store, it can be hit or miss, but I always pop in and see what’s what. The most recent time(Labor Day), if I hadn’t been on a schedule, I would have spent hours in here trying everything on. I’ve never been so lucky with clothes. I nearly dropped $ 200 on a tweed suit that I didn’t need, but, fortunately for me, they didn’t have the pants in my size. Whew.
