I'll never understand people and sizing in this thread. JE jeans and tees come in all sizes and iterations. I'm everywhere from a size 28 to a 30 ranging from Cast 1 to Cast 2 iterations. 100% cotton I size down, elastane I size up.

I wear a large in curve u-necks and a small in AEs. I'm 5'11 and 160lbs. I wear JE basically every day.

"The intended fit" is whatever you want it to be...

Wait... you got TTS AND 2 down!? Why not 1 down? ?

Pretty sure they're out of stock in that size. I know because I'm in the exact same boat here. My true size is a 30. 29 is out of stock. I'm not sure if I should go for the 28 or the 30. Might do the same as he did and get both!

Yeap I'm a 30 so couldn't cop the 29. If neither works I'll return both and call it a day. Can't afford full price lol I already got lots of black denim anyways

This sizing thing is real but at the end of the day you just have to order multiple sizes or do your best to find an opportunity to try on in store somewhere. It sucks though. Some brands are outrageously difficult. Take for example Rick Owen’s it’s a chore to buy anything online of there’s because it’s all different. I’m going through that right now. Just sent back a $550 investment for the new size. I feel like sizing issues with designer clothing or clothing of all price points is an area ripe for business disruption. We’ve got to get better at this it’s what the customer wants.

I wonder if brands/retailers would ever be open to trialing out a try on model where a customer could pay in full for one size but only have to make a partial deposit for other sizes, that way the temporary financial burden of shopping multiple sizes wouldn’t hurt as much. And if the retailer doesn’t receive the additional pieces in a specificied time frame the customers card would be charged the full retail price of any additional garments they kept.

No I won't just go and buy another brand, I'll size up, size down and wear JEs however I want.

I've been looking at ALD for a while, still don't own anything. Some of their designs are pretty cool but I'm clueless on sizing ... don't want to deal with the pain of it all.

In my experience sizing on ALD is painless. They are consistent across the board. It’s the other inconsistent brands that scare you into thinking you should do X vs. Z

I dress very differently according to how I want to on the day. I have stuff ranging from streetwear/minimalist stuff like JE, APC, Norse Projects, Reigning Champ to sort of more flowy stuff like Acne, Our Legacy, Uniqlo, De Bonne Facture and then more workwear stuff like SEH Kelly

TTS for ALD, never size down. Some other brands I like are Stone Island and Kith

 

[razorfrazer]

I'm a medium TTS. I've been told small for everything, possibly XS.

TTS for sure - most of their stuff is not too slim but also definitely not loose. Their fleece and tshirts run long lengthwise so keep that in mind.

Been getting into Rhude. And I thought JE prices were insane. Only piece I have is the hoodie I posted a few pages back. Other than that, Reigning Champ, Wings + Horns, APC
