Untitled edit
9/8/09 - Removed the inaccurate assertion that a Macy's New York employee is the maintainer of the "J. Crew Aficionada" blog. The employee named has no connection whatsoever with that blog. The assertion seems to be a malicious attempt to make trouble for the person named, whose maintenance of such a blog might well be construed as a conflict of interest by her employer.

7/06/06 - Under the "Initial Public Offering" section, the sentence "J.Crew, which is owned by private equity giant Texas Pacific Group, had it's stock market debut IPO on June 28, 2006, causing J. Crew's share price to increase by nearly $25." has an extra apostrophe in the "it's" and is generally inaccurate.
Post-IPO, it is no longer primarily owned by Texas Pacific Group, although TPG does own a large stake in it. More importantly, the IPO did not cause "J. Crew's share price to increase by nearly $25." For one thing, it did not have a publicly traded share price before the IPO. A more accurate statement would be that "J. Crew's share price opened over 25% above its IPO offer price on its first day of trading."
10/12/05 - Removed link to "J. Cruel." No reference to this site is made in the body of the article and the link served no purpose beyond publicity for the site.
Adspeak edit
This article needs a serious revamp. It reads like an advertisement. -Plasticbadge 01:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Origin of name edit
Where did it come from? Imagine Reason (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
The name didn't come from an actual person, but it just embodied the image they were trying to capture. It says it in a Teen Vogue article. [1] Cameron Carone 22:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Info on company sales edit
J. Crew has been in the news recently as it has been suffering from a severe decline in sales. The page needs to be updated to include the company's recent struggles. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 04:55, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Covid-19 bankruptcy claims edit
Can we get a reliable source, or press release from the actual company stating that they are filing for bankruptcy due to the coronavirus? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.112.177.218 (talk) 11:58, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
