Thanks. Looks great! Now on the hunt for a size 36.

How's the stretch? Been debating between those and Coast which doesn't have a stretch, so not sure if they're comfortable or lose shape over time.
The stretch is nice and super comfortable, and I'm glad to have it on the more tapered Cast 2 fit since I think it helps with the stacking a little bit. I feel like they'll also be cooler for the summer.

I've got a pair of Cast 1 Carbons that definitely started out rigid, but have broken in over time without losing their shape at all, so if you love the wash on the Coasts, go for 'em.

Thanks for the feedback on those.

Now need to wait for a restock. How often JE restocks jeans?

I'm probably a little too short for these, but I love the wash, fit, and feel so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe just roll with a little excessive stacking. I hate the idea of hemming $350 jeans.. I think I'd rather DIY raw hem them, but maybe a regular hem would end up looking okay.

looks great on you. What's your height if you don't mind me asking?

I've heard that Escobar's stretch out a bit after wearing, do these look okay for the first wear? I'm 5ft11, 175lbs and took a size L but I normally have big thighs and a big bum, just don't want them to become too baggy after a while. Do I need a Medium instead?

its silly for them not to restock the most popular and best color of the kake mock.


i dont disagree with you but its likely somewhat intentional ... keeps the hype machine rollign

look at nike/jordans and yeezy and supreme and any other limited items. they can release 1 new shade every season without oversaturating market and guaranteeing a full sell through. pretty genius but sucks for the average consumer

The sage kake was sold at a few other retailers along with JE. I don't think they will restock it because it was part of the capsule/pre-collection, which was supposed to be limited. JE generally only restocks mainline products. They haven't really restocked anything else from that capsule. I don't expect to see them restocking the Hanoi denim, so I doubt they'd do the sage again.

Do NOT go for that Medium. Large is pretty fitted on you as is. Just wear it more low, otherwise I think it'll stretch to perfection.

Just got the oversized cropped hoodie in black. I wouldn't really call it black more of a dark grey. I like it however.
