How do people feel about the raschel tees? I'm surprised that they haven't sold out. I'm thinking of picking up black or natural, but concerned about the synthetic material, and possibly looking too jersey shore. Any recommendations?

I have the shorts and would def buy a Raschel tee if they had my size in beige or natural. @srizvi722 has had them for a while now and seems to like it.

I know the measurements are pretty much the same for all the denim but has anybody with multiple pairs/styles found any particular pair to be a looser fit? I'm looking at the scarab or spring in a 34 but prior to this had pretty much concluded JE denim is too slim for me.

I know the feeling...I tried on every pair of denim that came through saks/barneys and finally had to move to rag and bone fit 2's which I highly recommend btw but all of the je denim was way too tight in the thighs

Did you try R&B Fit 1's? How do those compare to the cast 2 in the thighs? Fit 1's are my go to but I've yet to try JE denim.

JE destroyes R&B hands down. The denim quality of JE is superior. I also think that the fit is better for the cast 2. Only prob with JE currently is that they don't have any "simple" options. Everything has been very over the top and not subtle.

The best denim JE has put out recently has been their mr porter collabs (specifically the destroyed, the washed black/carbons and the vintage/rusty springs).

Thanks for the response. I'm particularly interested in the thighs and taper because I have an injury that makes a lot of stuff jeans that are tight in the thighs unwearable. Fit 1's are by far the slimmest jeans I can wear comfortably. If cast 2's are tighter than that it won't work for me. I'm really interested in the reverse weft that are on sale now but it would be crazy to try my first pair on final sale.

Haven't been on here in a minute... everyone looking good as usual.

Does anyone know if these are the updated fit odeons at Revolve?

Also, I wanna take all my JE denim to the tailor to make the waist smaller and to slightly hem them. I'm hoping the tailor doesn't botch them. Anyone know of a good tailor in Detroit area?

I'm hoping JE puts out some good denim Season 10. I looked through the runway show again and say a lot of grays and washed blacks, I passed on this spring/summer sale in hopes of some bangers dropping in the next season

I would recommended measuring your R&Bs and compare the measurements to the JE measurement chart.

The rag and bone fit 1s were too tights for me, it was like you could see the individual muscles in my quads haha. And @nsubrmnn its not that I disagree that je denim isn't great, I wanted almost every pair that came out, but everything I tried on in my size or up one was way too tight for me
