Some of you have pointed out (throughout posts) that (1) J.Crew prices for certain items have increased this year (from previous years) and (2) that prices for items online are different than the same item in-stores. I thought this definitely needed its own topic to see if this is something that many of you have been recognizing as well.For example, NE-Guy (in the "J.Crew's Fumbles Impact Stock" post) mentioned: "...in the men's section, their suit vest which was once $98 a couple of months ago, now sell for $118! Also many of the other outerwear item have increased $20 dollar as well..." Another example is a comment by Weab (in the "J.Crew Website Is Updated With New Arrivals" post) where she saw "...the Stephanie is $128 in the store and $98 on the web".
I have also noticed prices for certain items (like basic cardigans) increasing. As a result, I have been adjusting my expectations in terms of price. In particular, I have been "raising the bar" on what I believe are acceptable prices for items. :) Although prices of supplies (e.g. fabrics for items, gas for transportation) have definitely increased over the years, I am not sure if J.Crew's prices have risen by the same percentage.
What are your thoughts on prices increasing at J.Crew? Have you noticed any price differences for the same item when its online versus in-stores?
