Bleeckers are baggier than the Escobar but a little shorter. Both might be a bit short on you. I'm around 6 feet and they fit almost perfect. So I'm guessing it'll be too short for someone that tall.

I could have size L but I don't need leggings. I use those to run in. Escobars are longer.

Yes, I worded that wrong, I meant the bleeckers are baggier and shorter than the Escobar

Honestly you could achieve the same fit by sizing down. The leg they tapered a lot better than the first run of bleekers. But I'm not trying cause that's not the fit I'm achieving. I even sized up on my escobars to avoid the long john look.

Already regretting it and I haven't even gotten them in. I didn't know they didn't have riri zippers andfinding that out ruined it for me already.


Honestly, the Gap collab is not that bad.
Yeah, Riri zippers are good but the ones on Gap (IDEAL) is not bad at all.
99% of you won't be able to tell the ******* difference of the quality between them zippers without the branding.
If fit is the problem I can understand, but if you are complaining and thinking the product is so much inferior because of a 5 inch zipper?
I don't know, maybe I'm the crazy one.
After all, the Gap collab is priced at almost third of the JE mainline price.

Personally, I think JE is really awesome just going straight to his core products and offered Gap to basically make a replica. Which is the reason his collection was probably the most successful out of the entire GQ lineup.

the only positive comment to my question so far. in the picture the zipper looked almost like the zippers on the main line's escobar sweats so i thought they used riri zippers on there as well. but i was informed it was not and was iffy.
if its the same, looks the same, smoothly zips. i'd be happy with it.
the fit is a bit different but as long as its not too baggy i'd be fine with it.
i just hope the material used on the pants aren't going to be horrible/cheap. i want it to be closer to the JE material.
which is why i asked if its like the bleeckers. cause the bleeckers are thinner, i'd like it to be closer to the heavier weight of the escobars.
but was told it was worse. which on not sure if he meant material wise or fit wise.

i haven't received my pants in yet so i'm waiting on that to judge them myself. was just asking for reassurance that i didn't make the wrong purchase getting them when i could've spent a little more for the real thing. if it's not too far off material wise and is just a bit more baggy i'd be fine.

but the comments made me feel like i made the wrong purchase. oh well, im going to wait until i get them to see myself.

It it absolutely ridiculous that I cannot talk to a person. The phone number for customer care they show is 855 425-5986 and when calling you get a message that says the mailbox is full, good-bye
My son ordered something online and they messed up the order, I've already sent 4 emails and nothing.
I will not allow him to order again.

The number you listed is for Apartment Number 9, are you trying to contact them?
