How is the GAP sizing? I'm debating on getting a small or medium.

@superstaarrrr

I'm 5'8 and 165 and I usually wear a size S in all of their shirts at GAP, so I ordered a S and it's really tight especially under the armpit, everything was fine, but just tight, I'm returned it and getting a size M (It's still available), but everything else is gone.

Someone at Dublin, CA Gap at Stoneridge Mall is going to get lucky with a size S.

Has anyone here done international exchange for the official website?

Im from Europe and did exchange for my first order, I got first villain in medium but was too big so I exchanged it to small one.

It worked well for me, thanks for Brandi and Cody. Dont know if they are doing exchanges for international anymore... you should mail Brandi.

The Gap x JE jacket shirt just arrived. I ended up purchasing a small and medium.

The small looks like it fits me better but it's a lil snug around the armpit and the medium looks baggy.

Here's a pic of both size. Let me know what you guys think.

Honestly, I'd pass up on a piece of clothing if none of the sizes fit me well. I'm a true medium for the most part, and it just feels weird sizing up or down. Some pieces simply aren't meant to be for certain people, and we just have to deal with it. There are tons of alternatives out there for us. Maybe it's better to just go for the original JE one of look for one from a different brand.

Incidentally, if anyone ordered before the coupon code came out, email Gap CS and ask for a price adjustment.

hey John Elliott Team,

Any plans for the flash dual zips in the future to have drawstrings like the loop wheel collection? Looks a lot better IMO and im sure many others agree

I dislike the drawstrings. I pull a majority of my drawstrings out and throw the in the trash.

Greetings,

I really enjoy anyone that adds to this thread and helpful updates.

I'm in CA and I got the Loopwheel pieces pretty quick (On Friday!)

The grey Loopwheel Flash Dual Fullzip & Loopwheel Hooded Villain caught my eye more than the black pieces, I got the pieces in a size 2/Medium

Here are some comparison with my Dark grey Villain and grey Crew Villain. Color wise I like the different shades of grey. The sizing was close as possible to the Dark grey Villain and the Loopwheel Villain with no major difference size wise.

The Loopwheel to the naked eye does not look different, but once you feel it,it's a huge difference. Soft and a bit more heavy.

I'm 5'8 & 164 and everything fits well.
