so the alpine bogota on the JE website actually seems pretty accurate and the one on machus seems to be too dark.



this is the pictures from notre...which always have pretty accurate pictures of the color

Some fit pics of my unpinrolled Plumas for share:


And



Villain Hoodie sz M (I have a 39" chest)
Co Mix Mercer sz L (I am 6'1" and weigh 190lbs)
Cast 2 Plumas sz 34 (My waist size is 35")
White Achilles Low sz 43 (My shoe size is 10US)

Thoughts?

Nice fit man. Don't size up on the Villain, everything looks good here.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make those Escobar sweatpants shrink it back without running them? My Escobars have stretched quite a bit over the course of time and are not as slim as they used to.

Mine stretch out a bit with wear but they shrink back down after washing. The French terry is going to stretch when you wear it, but you could take them to a tailor and get them tapered if you want.

Here are a few quick shots of the Sashiko. Wicked comfortable, clean black color like the Nero, just different details. Honestly kind of like them a bit more, especially for fall. I think it'd be overkill to wear them with a Rider, but think they will work well with the Oak Bogota.






Jeans look great. Is there any fading/distressing, or are they "raw" for the most part?

Yes, for sure Rudy is super nice bomber quality and fir wise. I just realized that new black bomber from APC is not Rudy but something else, not that nice and different material. So I am still considering giving a try to black JE bomber. I am not a huge fan of Acne Selo tho. Most of the time I prefer Rudy over Selo. Acne is thicker tho, so it is more in use in colder days.

Sorry for a little JE offtopic tho!

I really regret not picking up Iridescent bomber from last year. One of the biggest regrets haha. If anyone have one in Plaster, size L please hit me up or send me in right direction =)

Also the new Aluminium bomber looks super unique. How thick/warm it is?

I think we will see a lot of fire from JE in the following weeks.
This is the FW Acne Black Blouson MA1 bomber. It is nice jacket, I think very similar to rudy, just different material and some minor differences on the back. It is different bomber than Bogata, but I think I prefer JE in that case. Shiny bomber is a lot more style. But on these photos also APC looks great.

What would you guys say is a fair price for an Iridescent bomber? Assuming it's in good condition.

Thanks man! Helps a lot.
Being a 39" chest with a 35" waist is tough.
I tried a Villain in large before and it didn't look very JE on me, it was more like a regular baggy hoodie so I took the medium instead.

I guess the next step is to drop my waist size so the sides will be comfortable when I zip them shut!
Only thing is my Plumas might get way too baggy after lol

Some people putting their riders for sale on grailed
yeah they all trying to soften the blow for the collab on tuesday. the problem is they want 1k plus for a jacket that was on sale for much cheaper a few months back
at that price most people are just going to pay for the new collab leathers instead
