J.Crew Black Friday 2025 Sale - What to Expect & When

If you’re planning to shop J.Crew’s Black Friday 2025 sale, it helps to know what kind of discounts are likely, when to expect them, and what items usually get the best markdowns. J.Crew has followed a pretty consistent sale pattern in recent years, so we can make a few solid predictions about how this year will go. Here’s a look at what to expect this year.

Likely Black Friday Sale Dates for 2025

J.Crew’s Black Friday sale is expected to start on Sunday, November 23, 2025, and run past Cyber Monday, likely wrapping up on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. That would give you about 10 full days to take advantage of the deals, which is right in line with how the retailer handled things last year.

Historically, J.Crew rolls out different types of offers throughout the full Black Friday week. They usually add extra discounts right around Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and then again just before Cyber Monday. Expect new markdowns to appear in stages during that stretch rather than all at once.

Overall Discount Levels Expected

If J.Crew sticks to what they’ve done in the past, the general storewide offer will likely hover around 40% to 50% off select full-price items. In 2024, they ran an “Up to 50% off” Black Friday event both online at jcrew.com and in stores. This discount was automatically applied at checkout, and the qualifying products were clearly marked.

There will also be deeper discounts on sale items, usually with a promo code. Last year, shoppers got an extra 60% off already reduced styles during both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, though different codes were used for each.

On Black Friday, the code was FRIDAY, and then just before Cyber Monday, the code changed to CYBER. These were valid only on items specifically marked for the offer, and some exclusions applied, especially for premium categories.

What Was on Sale Last Year (Examples from 2024)

Looking at last year gives a pretty clear picture of what might be discounted again in 2025. Here are some real examples from the 2024 Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale:

Cashmere Classic-Fit Crewneck Sweater: Regular price $138, marked down to $82.80 during Black Friday (40% off)
Ludlow Slim-Fit Suit Jacket in Italian Wool: Originally $425, dropped to $255 (40% off)
484 Slim-Fit Stretch Chino Pant: Marked down from $89.50 to $53.70 (40% off)
Wool-Blend Topcoat: Went from $398 to $238.80 (40% off)
Raglan-Sleeve Fleece Sweatshirt: Originally $78, offered at $46.80 (40% off)
Extra 60% Off Sale Items: Items already marked down were discounted even further, in some cases dropping final prices to under $20

During Cyber Monday last year, J.Crew introduced what they called 500 “Cyber Deals” with prices starting at $14.50. These included basics like tees, tanks, socks, and accessories. Some knitwear pieces and seasonal items like scarves were included in that group as well.

How the Discounts Are Applied

J.Crew usually runs their main Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions in one of two ways:

“Prices As Marked” Sales: For sitewide or broad category discounts (like 40% off cashmere), the sale price is automatically displayed. No code is needed. These are the easiest offers to shop.
Promo Code Sales: For deeper markdowns like an extra 60% off sale items, you’ll need to enter a code at checkout. In 2024, it was FRIDAY for Black Friday and CYBER for Cyber Monday.

In both cases, the discounts are not stackable, so you can’t combine a sitewide sale with a promo code unless J.Crew specifically allows it. There’s also typically a limit of one promo code per order.

Exclusions to Watch For

As with most sales, there are some fine print details to be aware of. Here’s what was excluded from last year’s Black Friday offer, and it’s likely to be the same again in 2025:

J.Crew Factory items and orders at jcrewfactory.com
Third-party brands
Collection styles
Gift cards
Phone orders
Previous purchases
Some cashmere and suiting styles (if not marked for discount)

Also, final sale items bought with the extra 60% off discount cannot be returned or exchanged, so be sure you’re confident in your size and fit before buying.
