I thought the pieces coming out this year were simply "washed" leather?

It could be the process. I don’t know if water does that to suede though. Reminds me of sunburn

I think the stadium hasn't changed (it was always kind of destroyed) but the rider was def supposed to be a washed leather.

Comes down to your body type. If you are skinny you can probably get the same size. Leather doesn’t have much stretch in the chest and arm pits.

The Rider’s Jacket is exactly the same as from this lookbook - washed and distressed. The process hasn’t changed from the lookbook on either of the Blackmeans collabs this season.

I picked up last seasons Blackmeans Stadium in a Medium but tried on an L at Barneys and looked much better. I wound up exchanging for the L and couldn’t be happier. For reference, I’m a little skinny ***** at 5’11 and 160 lbs

Long time lurker and je stan. Been waiting for this blackmeans collab since the runway show. Anybody think the distressed leather on the riders is gonna make the price go up? I only put 2 g’s aside.

I think you'll be fine. I don't think they've ever released a piece over 2 g's

The fit is spot on, what is your usual JE size and can you tell me your measurements also? I promise I will try pull off similar fit in a few weeks:embar:
And about sneakers I think FOG BBall sneakers will work and so should any AJ1 or even AF1. JE Vandals I am not really sure. Not filling shiny jacket with suede sneakers. Prefer leather sneakers with shiny jacket like that.

I'm 6'0 170 and usually go for M in JE.
