I have the white/black and its pretty dope. I normally dont wear white because it get dirty easy.

The texturing on the black vs black is nice. Going to pick up one of those soon.

All three are dope though.

I received my black Villain crew yesterday. I absolutely love how it looks. I have one concern, though. I go to school, so I wear a backpack around. I'm concerned that wearing it with a backpack filled with books might cause the neck to droop and become wider. I hope that wouldn't be the case. What would your be your take on this? Should I avoid wearing a backpack when I have on the Villain crew and vice versa?

I've had a similar problem with the jeans. In order to avoid knee-bags I've been walking with Straight Legs Only, which has been very inconvenient to my living condition an day to day activities. I don't mind straightwalking (it builds character) but is there any way around this issue? I'd like to be able to sit down again.

it just blows my mind that these designers haven't thought of these things ahead of time! They are such common complaints, u would think they would get their act together...:stirpot:

I actually have OCD. What do you expect? I'm meticulous about such things. Little do you know this actually happened to one of my T-shirts, so my concern isn't unwarranted. I wore a backpack, and the neck stretched out like crazy. Luckily, it shrunk back after a washing and a drying. Plus, I've been looking for a well-fitting crewneck sweatshirt for a while now, and I finally found the perfect one for me. It's great, as it appears tailored to my body. There isn't any bagginess, and the neck isn't extremely loose. I don't want to mess it up. I just don't want my Villain crew sweatshirt to end up looking like a boatneck top. I don't want it to end up looking like this:

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want that to happen to yours either.

Glad you are happy with it!

I think you should be fine to just wear it, backpack or not.The terry is a pretty sturdy material. I really doubt it would droop much. A machine wash on cold and hang dry would tighten any stretch back up.

I have a DS large, white Villain available for retail to anyone in Europe that wants one minus the high shipping/import costs. It's great but it's too small on me as I have really broad shoulders.

DM me if interested, thanks!

Most likely August, potentially July. Are you looking at the darker grey or burgundy ones?



Not sure about kular01 but def looking to pick up both and the mercer tees. Is the grey on the charcoal grey heathered and substantially darker than the current grey or? Release months confirmed?

Also the grey duo villain is charcoal and what other color?

Any details is appreciated thx ;)
