When did those drop and why don't I remember the ripstop single pleats?!


Still available! I got the matching jacket for a nice casual suit. Mine fit slimmer than past single pleats so I definitely recommend sizing up.

@NickPollica - Is the Jian pant meant to fit slimmer than the older Single pleats? The description still says "This garment runs roughly one size large" but since the name change they seem to fit quite a bit slimmer.

I’m a size 40 jacket and 32 waist. The Kanata is a 44, the work shirt is L, and the pants M. In general I bounce back and forth between M and L for shirts, just kind of depends usually on how cropped the length is. I have 5 pairs of one pleats and 3/2 are M/L and I prefer the way the M fit. I wear M in Gorecki and L in double knees.

Ripstop single pleats are one of the most slept on things we’ve ever made.
The pants are great, got them on the archive sale. Nice lightweight pants to wear to work or on short hikes with the dog. Wish I'd picked up the jacket as well.

edit: while I'm at it, picked up the balloon pants today. My girlfriend sewed herself a pair a few months ago, so maybe now we can be twins. Gotta say though, not loving the dark photos.

I emailed 18E about them right after the drop and they said they did "modify the sizing on the Jians a bit" since last summer (the slate linen single pleats).

Curious, what size did you try on here? And what size do you usually get? Lol wondering if sizing up 1 or 2 sizes would work
Solid side is L, pattern side is XL. Went with the XL (last one in studio) and usually go with XL in 18 East without thinking twice about it. I have the L on the way if anyone is interested.
