JCrew Catalog: Did You Get A Copy?

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
I got the mail today and couldn't believe my eyes... there was the September J.Crew catalog in the pile of bills and unwanted junk mail. For joy! (I thought for sure I would not get one.) :)

I have to say, the catalog is beautiful. Is it comparable to the Paris catalog- no way (nothing will ever be in the same league as that catalog!) Is it better than the August catalog- you better believe it! ;) The catalog is also quite lengthy, containing 125 pages of luscious clothes.

There are lots of winter coats, sweater jackets, and berry trim dresses to be dreaming about tonight! What's interesting is an apology and an offer to take 15% off regular priced merchandise with code FALL included in the catalog. (The image of "the apology" is in the slide show.) I actually appreciate the inclusion of the apology (which comes across to me as sincere):

"An Apology From Us

Over the last few weeks, we have been updating and improving our web site to make shopping at J.Crew better for you in every possible way. But on the road to improvement, there were some unexpected bumps.

We want to apologize personally for that. There's no excuse. More than anything else, a great exprience for our customers is what drives absolutely everything we do at J.Crew.

Thank you for your patience with us and as a toke of our appreciation, please enjoy 15% off your next catalog or online purchase.

Millard Drexler
Chairman and CEO, J.Crew Group

Tracy Gardner
President, J.Crew Group"

UPDATE: As you can see, I took photos of the entire catalog. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos. On a bright note, the entire catalog is there- including women's, crewcuts, and mens items. :)

Have you received your copy of the September catalog? If you did get one, did you get it by mail or did you pick one up at the store? What are your favorite items in the catalog? What do you think of the apology inserted in the catalog?

P.S. My laptop crashed yesterday and there is a good chance I lost all my data. I am currently borrowing my husbands desktop to use in the meantime. Therefore, I do apologize for any lateness in response or posting.
