Opinions on the padded overshirt? Was interested in picking it up as i don't have anything similar in my closet. Heard it runs tight near the shoulders and chest. Fit pics would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not the greatest fit pics. Mercers and u necks look really long because the kake is cropped. JE needs to make some cropped mercer and u necks

Just got my dark grey and black kake mocks today. Not sure if the 3/Large is the right fit for me. It's a bit boxy which I like, but the arms and the pit might be a bit too wide for me. Not really sure. Sleeve length is cool... I like that it bunches up a little at the wrists. Honestly, if it draped more it would look perfect. Probably will as the terry gets softer with wear + washes.

For reference, I am 6' and 160lbs. Broad-ish shoulders and lift but not super built. I'm always between a normal M and L.

Anyone looking to trade a 2/Medium in any of the kake mocks?
Nice - I got mine in too. Wearing my Grey today. 3/L. it's big but i like the look. I am 5'10" 185, built, so this fits me pretty well. there is no way a M would work on me I don't think. I got some XLs too bc I didn't know the sizing...so if anyone wants an XL Kake - PM me...

Yeah If it stays this size, sure it'll be fine for me. Worried about the terry stretching making it a little too large for me. Oh well, if I can't get a 2/M I can rock my 3/L. I need to bulk more anyway.

Runs really small, I'm small in kake and OS crew/hoodie, medium in villain. Had to size up to large because it was too tight in the chest. Looks good open, weird in the mid section when buttoned. I have a flat stomach and it makes me look like I have a gut when I button it. Here are some crappy pics I took with an OS Crew and u neck. Not wearing the crew when buttoned btw.

Haha I wouldn't worry! These guys defs makin' me second guess myself a bit too haha cause I'm between an M and L in the Kake too. I went with L and love it though -- I wear it all the time and the fit hasn't really changed at all in the month I've had it. It's oversized so I don't really expect it to stretch much more. IMO if you're in between sizes and size up, you'll get more of that drapey and boxy oversizedness, but if you size down you lose that extra fabric, and get a much more standard looking fit, but with a dropped shoulder seam. To each his own for sure!

It is a completely different product and is a 2 layer basketball inspired tank with a nylon jersey.

True - I like this baggy fit. Great for my Jazzercize classes. It's like old school bodybuilder style.

I got both sizes spread over all the colors. You can wear either size imo. They are different looks but neither looks bad imo.
