I'd say small.

I think you should be ok with the small. The current gen fit much slimmer than the old ones.

Didnt pull the trigger on the Escobars yet, just wondering as Im only 5'5" tall, do you think I will get similar look like the model has on JE site with size Small even though Im so short? I really like the Nike Tech Fleece fit with sz Small (quality isnt good though), but tried JE x Gap sweatpants in sz Small, and they were way too baggy...

Is the black friday code valid until monday aswell?

The model is taller so you will have more stacks. Slimness wise, will fit the same. These fit like the tech. I had the tech in small and now the escobars In small. Fit is perfect.

I need some honest opinions on JE denim. I've been thinking of getting some black denim to switch it up every once in a while, but I'm not sure whether it's worth the price tag.

I own the obsidian and the more you wear it the better it looks. I'm 30/31 waist and 29 fits perfect, no belt required.

How much has the waist stretched out for you? I'm considering the Cobalt but can't decide between 28 and 29. I have the Coast in 29 and they fit well in the thighs and calves but are slightly loose in the waist, which is fine with me because I plan on gaining a little bit of weight back.

Bruhhhh these stretch a lot lol. I've soaked and stretched out took to alter to take the waist in, and have stretched out the waist again. Going to soak again in a few months and take the waist in again. I have nimbus and cobalt first season

Is the Sand color more white or an off white? (maybe beige?) Anyone have problems with staining it easily or denim staining it? (possibly a silly question)

Any experience with the Cyprus shorts? Are the pockets pretty shallow? I know my Lima shorts had shallow pockets.

Yeah im aware that they will stack more, but since these pants are slimmest from the bottom, Im afraid it will stack so much that it wont be that slim from the calves. But if they fit like tech, I think its perfect, thanks.

Just want to be sure when youre paying shipping costs for 65dollars :p

You run the risk of staining any light fabric. I don't think it'd be any worse than say the light grey.
On that note, i went ahead and got the sand villain too. My third purchase in three days from JE. Price is too good to pass up.

I'm looking to buy the villain hoodie, but was thinking of wearing a flannel under it. 5'9 170 broad shoulders, I'm thinking XL so i can wear a flannel underneath. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Large would suffice. XL might be too big.
