It’s so hard to see any of the detail against your similarly colored comforter. What do you think of it?

Here is the 36 Skittles, with the hem folded inside for better visuals.

Dope fit! How’s the sizing on the skittles?

It’s similar to raw vs distressed denim. In my opinion denim looks better with some wear, in a similar token, leather jackets looks better with wear. If you plan on beating the hell out of your leather jacket then go for it, but for the majority of people they will likely only be wearing it occasionally, this is for them.

With regards to versatility, leather jackets aren’t formal attire, you can wear them however you like, but I wouldn’t say a worn in leather jacket is less versatile than a brand new one, in the same vein as a worn denim jacket vs a raw one

T.L.;DR: just buy whatever you prefer, but IMO the yugi looks more bad ass because it’s worn in

Got it

This is the yuji right? Need supply exclusive name throwing me off. I think I can get the piece for about 600 (possibly bit less) in very good condition (worn about 10 times). Just debating in my head if I go with distressed or non distressed

I love it. It’s a great shade of grey and the pink pops without being tacky. The colors and dye are perfectly executed. The Cotton feels rougher/more rugged than any of my other University tees - maybe because of the dye process? I’m very happy with it, and will be looking to grab the Ebisus in this same color down the road.

That’s roku. Sounds like your gut is telling you to go non distressed.

Fit pic?

Sometime this week.

Yeah... what happened??!? ?

That’s back when JE would pair stuff that looked great together, now they just throw random pieces together based on what is being dropped or about to sell. I personally think when they paired stuff well together it convinced me to buy more since I would buy the top and bottoms, and if I had the bottoms already I’d buy the top cuz it matched so well, and vice versa

Thanks. Still not sure if they need to be tighter. So I have some 34 Carbons now to compare. Those are a bit skin tight, they loosen up as I wear them and then they snap back. The Skittles don't have a lot of stretch so it will look a bit looser. I think if I go to 34, might be too tight without the stretch. 35 would be ideal. The waist is fine on me, but not sure if it will stretch a lot. The calves on the 36 Skittles are perfect, but clearly a bit larger than I want on thighs.

Still not sure if I should keep them...

Fit critique, picked up these Obsidians and not sure if they are too much legging and not enough denim. Ignore my trashed apartment.

Obsidians stretch a decent amount with wear, you’re probably fine.

How's the waist right now? If it's strangling you, you could probably go up a size. Those are jeggings right now. The first run of Obsidians definitely stretched a ton though.

I would keep them. Obsidians are tight at first but stretch considerably, especially the waist.

Would you say it's thicker that the SD uni tees? I really like the grey/pink combo but will wait for them to go on sale. Wish they made them in short sleeve tees
