John Elliott - official affiliate thread

I like the bone one. I would cop cause I never had a piece like this before but I wanna see it in person first. If other retailers get it, and I get to try it on in store there's a bigger chance I'll cop if it works for me.

I’m waiting on feedback myself. If barneys gets it I can try it on. Mainly interested in thickness. If I can wear as a light jacket I’ll get it.

Gah, I just copped the bone and the presidio's in 34

Gonna email John Elliott to see if they can kindly expedite a loyal customer to me so I get it by Thursday before I take off.

Same exact thing for me (specific size and all). You going to return or see how they break in?

I'm torn honestly. I know they won't break in any smaller but I am considering soaking them if I keep them, to try and have them shrink down within the size 31 specs. I'm almost positive all their jeans start out this way but shrink a full size once distressed and washed.

Here's the fit on my obsidians, they're a 31 but fit like 32's I've tried on. I'm guessing their washed jeans shrink some during the distressing process

i seriously doubt these (the obsidians) are unsanfornized jeans lol. i would be surprised if they shrink more than other JE

I am not sure, but I think even sanforized shrinks a little. All I know is that these are bigger than any 31 I've tried from JE, I knew it as soon as I put them on. They feel baggy, they don't hug in the areas they should. I emailed them asking if it was a new cut haha.

Interested in seeing how the bone looks. I would have went for that one if I didn't go for the jacquard. Also here's to hoping they take care of you, I feel like it takes a while for anything to get to NYC.

They look too big man. Even if they shrink a little in the wash, they're going to bag back out with a few wears. I'd send them back. You won't be happy with them in the long run.

FWIW, my 28s are measuring 15.5" across the waist, but match up to the other measurements. I think the Obsidians must just be running large in the waist. Anybody else with a 28 measured theirs yet? Would be curious to know how other pairs are measuring.

The obsidians are large all over. The whole leg is baggy on me. A normal 31 hugs my leg all the way down to amost my ankle.

First wear on my obsidians. Amazing. I got a 28 and they don't feel any different in the waist from any other 28 I have.

What does Yoox do ? Limit returns ?

If you return too high of a % of your items, they prevent you from making returns. Not sure if this just covers Yoox itself or all of the sites they power now (most of the luxury e-boutiques).

not sure if this was posted somewhere already:

It's actually a good idea, especially in this day in age, with all the Instagram flexer's. I am sure a bunch of those guys/girls order a couple G's worth of clothes, take a bunch of pics, pack it all back up, exchange it for some new fits, and start the cycle over. They end up ruining free shipping and returns for the rest of us. Tracking it allows them to prevent abuse by these few. I honestly don't mind it as long as you are able to make a reasonable amount of returns in relation to the amount you're actually keeping and paying for.

Return them if you're unhappy, making 7 posts about your jeans being .25 off wont change anything. If it really bugs you this much now then it certainly will later.

Not sure if you're just trying to make a big deal at this point in hopes of having JE customer service chime in.

I think the reason why a lot of people make returns (at least on this thread) is because the majority of us are college students and/or middle class income earners. Buying a JE piece is no small dent in the coffer but an investment. Throwing $300-$400 dollars at something made of fabric better be exactly to my liking or I'm sending it back. Not to mention, I'm paying for the return delivery.
