How are you guys sizing on those Kake's? 5'10 140 and I wear M in every other JE hoodie, debating if I should go with my usual M or size down to S.

How do you want it to fit?

I sized M on all my JE hoodies (Kake included). The villains fit very slim, and the Kake a bit more oversized. For reference, I'm 5'8 163lbs (athletic build).

I would guess that a Kake in M would be very big on you, but it depends on how your weight is distributed.

^^oh I should add, my black M looks good bc it's dark and you can't really see the bagginess on it that color. Sage M looks a little baggy. Since oak is a lighter color, I think you should go with Small.

If I want a less slimmed down body than the Mercer, is it the classic crew that I want?

Yeah I think I'm going with the S, not a big fan of the oversized fit and I think S will look better on me. Thanks for the advice guys.

Any good leads on where to purchase one of these?


Any film store or store dealing in film equipment will have those. They're expensive, and tbh don't make good clothing racks. They'll work for a small amount of clothes, but if you have alot it's hard to keep parallel. If you really want one, I'd check craigslist first.

It seems like you have figured it out from the above comments but I'm the same weight and majority of my JE is medium and I went small in kake. Medium was too baggy.

Does anyone know how the Mercer tee compares to the Curved U-neck? Are the armpits as snug in the Mercer as they are in the u neck? Was just wondering if I need to buy the same size Mercers as I do in my u-necks. From my experience with JE, respective sizes vary greatly from fit to fit.

My Mercers and Curve U-Neck are all the same size.

Only reason I didn't buy 'em. I was in between sz. 2 and 3, no way I would have taken either due to the drop-crotch fit. Not very mobile. I get better mobility out of the Cast 2 Mica "Stretch" I am wearing right now that are tight as boards, and I'm the dude that ripped my Springs sz. 29 lol.
