I believe this has been discussed in the past but I don't remember the answer: should I expect the Coast jeans to stretch out in the waist? I of course expect the raw selvedge denim to stretch a size or two, but not sure about the washed. The 16" waist of the size 29 sounds perfect for me, but I don't want it to stretch out and become too loose.

Fit pics of moon mercer shirt and charcoal villain.

I do wear a large in shirts and XL in villains. I know some people had questions regarding layering with different sizes.

Neck is slightly enlarged in mercer tees but nothing dramatic.

Also I am 5'10 approx 185lbs



Please tell me shorts are size L!

this, I wish there was more feedback on the denim since nowhere near me sells them in store.

Thinking about getting the obsidian denim...
I got cobalt denim. I wear all jeans always size 32", I ordered cobalt in size 31" and they were really tight fit, but after wearing them few times they stratched so they are perfect fit now. You can se the fit on the photo below.

Curve U-neck tee size L and the cast cobalt in 31

P.S. I wear size L in u-neck tee, do you think I should go for size M next time? I am 5'11" and 172lbs

Thanks for the feedback on the denim. We are about the same height and weight and I wear a L in all the tees too. I prefer the extra length and draped look rather than a fitted shirt. I don't see anything wrong with a L u-neck, although I do think you could still fit a M if you don't prefer the elongated look. How much did you cobalts stretch in the waist? about an inch?

I will order one tee in M just to see the fit. I can't say if they stretch in waist as they were already a little roomy in waist for me, but tight in thighs :D If I could choose I would get the same size with adjusted waist haha my problem is that I have strong legs and all pants always fit me tight in leghs and roomy in waist. Have to skip few leg days ;)

Shorts are size XL. I am a 32 waist but I usually like to go a little bigger in my shorts

@JohnElliottCo

how do you guys wash the u neck tees and tanks? thinking cold/delicate wash and tumble dry low/no heat


don't risk the dryer. Hang to dry to avoid any shrinkage

I wash cold/or hand wash and hang dry. I've accidentally put one in the dryer before, no shrinkage but made it softer lol

but I think they all get softer each wash (except the silk joints)

The medium on the model fits like yours but he's 160 pounds. Might be pushing it considering the large isn't too baggy. The sleeves might look better though.

I'm like you though with sizes. I'm between a medium and and a small. I have about 10 JE tees and I mix it up with the sizes. Some are small ans some are medium.

Did you hem the jeans? I realize they're rolled but is that the full inseam rolled up?
