Received my loopwheel order; Grey flash dual fullzip and black escobars. Very happy with the quality and fit; super soft and heavy weight in comparison to my regular esco's and villains. My first dual fullzip and thinking of getting the black one in non-loopwheel as it is pricey. The hoodie could go without the drawstrings but that's just my opinion, love the extended drawstring on the sweats. The arms are longer than my villains which I like as well, it may look a bit loose in the upper arms but I find it fits great. 5'7" 160lbs size 2/M in both Looking forward to S/S 15!
Grey looks freaken awesome

If you like John Elliott's terry. You will not like premium Cos Terry. Not very soft. It's hard, stiff and itchy. Was very disappointed with my tee.

I like them both, I don't find it hard and stiff. My white Terry tee was fine, doesn't show my nipples like the white JE tee. JE is better in craftsmanship, but I'd expect that coming from Cali.

premium co is an awful brand

Yeah, I knew there was something that wasn't right about that brand. Too "street" for what I'm looking for. John Elliott + Co is just about right.

On a side note, how do you guys say "John Elliott + Co"? John Elliott plus co? John Elliott plus company? John Elliott and company? I've always had an issue with this. Why can't it just be "John Elliott"?

The outter shell is nice but that actual Terry isn't soft imo.

Got a chance to check out some loopwheel goodies today.(by iron heart) very soft! I see what they mean now. Extremely soft

I could only imagine with the process the Terry goes through. I'm excited to see what SS15 has

For anyone with the loopwheel sweatpants, do you find that they don't stretch as much/ bag out less as you wear them than the traditional fleece? The fit is always spot on out of the box or fresh from the wash on my burgundy escobars, but they get a bit baggy (especially in the butt) after a few hours of wear.

So far they have barely stretched. And I am loving every second of the non-stretching.

But, it should stretch. I also got the loophole villain and it has formed more to my body and gotten a little looser on the arms, not really on the body. It's warmer, but not like fleece warm. I wish we had a fleece option for the colder months.

I always see people on IG & twitter complaining about their customer service. That alone itself kept me away from the brand.
pretty much the reason for that post plus the quality of their clothes is not that great

that happened to me and i hate my escobars now. they were perfect when i got them but after about 25 wears and 3-4 washes they have stretched out a lot in the butt and knee area. they are slim fitting yet baggy at the same time not a good look imo. im 5'11 162 right now and i went TTS with a Medium. i would not consider buying another pair but i have not had any problems with my villians or flash hoodies. been wearing them every week for months and the fit is still spot on
