But I'm in a similar position in the UK.
I can upload fit pics tomorrow, cause I don't have them yet and I stay at my girlfriend's place tonight. The idea is, that I am also located in Europe but if I order to my country I have to pay a lot for shippng + 22% taxes + 7% duties. We will talk on DM's about that.

Any chance of a fit pic? I plan on layering with the Mercer tank and I'm not sure whether it's worth sizing up one in that too - i like the layering effect on the model's fit.


For layering, sure stay with a medium, but for actual hoody day to day use size up 1.

For a layering piece I would go more with the crewneck version

I mean using the hoody as a top layer rather than layering it underneath something. What size are you?

I know what you mean. M in everything and size up on the villian hoody for a more hoody day to day feel. But that's just me.

Didn't you just say you wanted the u neck and/or mercer too? Both of those have elongated hems anyway.
Yeah I do and I want the hoody to be considerably shorter - correct me if I'm wrong but the model wears
Villain and a large Mercer?

WRT fit, this is is the look i'm after size wise...

that's how my villain crew size L fits me. almost tight in the shoulders and arms and very similar length, which I think is a little too short if you dont wear a long tee or tank under.

p.s. this is not JE hoodie on the photo.

I dunno. I have XL in both the villain and u neck and layering is good, but I can't see there much of an issue if I'd size down on the shirt (or up with the hoody) so the u neck was a size smaller. The u neck isn't as fitted as the villain is so I think you'd be fine. Nail the fit of the hoody, the other pieces shouldn't be an issue imo.

I know; the hoody is Balmain from two seasons ago but they're sizing pretty similar according to Mr Porter, which measures things very accurately.

Would really benefit from a fit pic from someone around my size. To me ( I could be wrong) but Kanye's looks tighter than the JE one the model wears on site.

I've heard there is quite a lot of give/stretching on the villain after a few wears.

The shirts already run longer than the hoody length wise. Like I said I don't view the hoody as a layering piece because it's more day to day so I've never thought about like that. U should be fine sizing up 1 or just staying true. True will just be snug at first.


@JohnElliottCo is the blue jacket still dropping?

The blue jacket is dropping, but not until July / August.
