Haha, I guess my comment was a bit dismissive. I don't think it looks good on the model and I don't think it would look good on me, but if you can rock it, more power to you! ?

Lol. I’m hoping they just styled them unbuttoned. Regardless, the sleeves do look long like most of what they’ve been producing. I’ve also noticed longer sleeves with other companies. Not a trend I’m too fond of. The rest of the jacket is phenomenal though.

The jacket is sized up, we were using a larger size in the lookbook styling which was treated like a show. There are buttons, and the sleeves are not flared.

The jacket runs very true to size as compared to our usual Hemi Shirts, in fact the sizing on our site will suggest to take your true size, knowing some people size down on the Hemi.

Nah I’m talking crap. This was on my list when I first seen it. This will be the final level to become hemi god.

We definitely need someone to drop a fit pic wearing every single hemi, include the jacket and the denim shirt when it's finally out

TL;DR
I created a web app that makes it easier to find JE second-hand by consolidating JE listings from Grailed, eBay and Poshmark in one place (more to come). You can also sign up for alerts on different items of clothing to receive an email when it pops up on those marketplaces. You can check it out here. I'm hoping you can use it to hunt down your next JE grail - I made it with this group in mind and would love any feedback (via DM) you have on the experience.

Full Post
Hi guys, I wanted to share a passion project that I’ve been working on for the last three months - a web app that consolidates all of the JE listings from Grailed, eBay and Poshmark to make it easier to track down JE grails without having to navigate to a bunch of resell marketplaces (or if you’re like me, keep several tabs open) to view all of the JE items out there. This a passion of mine for two reasons: (1) I'm addicted to online shopping (mainly JE - more on that below), and (2) buying items second-hand helps reuse things we've already produced, which reduces the impact that production of new clothing has on the environment (I'm not here to convince you to avoid copping new JE tho).

I first heard about JE in 2013. Back then, Kanye was wearing Balmain hoodies with the side zips and I really wanted one just like it, but couldn’t afford it as a college student. Then I came across the Villain hoodie, which in my opinion, was even better executed than the Balmain. The shiny RiRi zippers, the offset hem, the way it was layered over a mercer tee… needless to say, I immediately bought the dark grey colorway.

Ever since getting the Villain hoodie, I was hooked on JE and my entire closet (except boxers and socks) eventually became JE. I would often cop pieces such as tees and hoodies at retail. Every now and then there would be a grail level piece that I couldn’t afford. I remember seeing the M65 herringbone jacket with the Sherpa collar for the first time and thinking that I had to have it, but at ~$650 retail (if I remember correctly) I couldn't cop it. So I turned to the resell markets to see if I could track it down. Eventually, the jacket popped up and I copped it for $107 shipped! You're telling me that someone can buy something new and never wear it, or wear it a few times and I can buy it off them for a 50-70% discount?! Mind=blown. I was hooked on buying things second hand.

Those days (2014-2018), I was primarily buying from Grailed and eBay. However, more and more resell marketplaces kept popping up and it became more of a fragmented and tedious experience to shop second hand as clothing from each brand was scattered across several different marketplaces (Grailed, eBay, Poshmark, RealReal, Depop, OfferUp, Vestaire Collective, and the list goes on). I would check all of these marketplaces everyday (I am OCD) to make sure that I didn't miss a good deal, and eventually got burned out. I always wished that I could just see all of the JE items from all of these marketplaces in one place.

After searching the internet for that solution, I found it didn't exist. So I went ahead and attempted to solve my own problem and that’s how Easy Street came to be. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

As a disclaimer, I have no software engineering background and this is my first time building a web app (let alone anything tech-related), so it's probably not gonna knock your socks off, but wanted to share it so that you guys can use it to track down your JE grails. It's just a V1 and I will improve it over time by adding more functionality and more JE listings from additional marketplaces (and eventually more brands). If you have any feedback on improving the functionality of the web app or any features you’d like to see added, please DM me.

Finally, here is a fit pic of me in the M65 jacket that got me hooked on resell (I know it looks way better on the JE model).

Disclaimer - I make a small commission if you purchase anything from Ebay through the web app.

Super cool idea, I have always wished that something like this existed!

yeah, they got the denim shirt game by the curlies; my thumper and yuma are A+

I understand the look intended but would be a lot cooler with that button option




copped the cool greys

love the subtle differences to a popular style. Love the padded tongue, the rear leather heel tab (similar to the JE AF1), the full mesh panels etc. The shape is really nice, pairs super well with slim jeans. The tongue is long enough that it doesnt "poke out" from my pant hem when walking like my common projects do, which is huge

They are pretty comfortable as well. Went with cool grey VS white, as the white tends to look dirty after a few wears when referencing pictures on here, hoping these should wear a bit better. The signature green insole is a nice touch, same with the black sole choice

Got them for 400 CAD. To me, this hovers around true value. I came to this conclusion comparing similar shoes with same materials. I'm not sure id pay much more than this without feeling like I played myself. I whole heartedly take this back if the price is due to supply issues or functions of covid

to the dude who's order got cancelled from Roden - Apparently JE forbid them to sell these on sale. Im glad they didn't cancel mine, as it was nice to familiarize myself with JE's new footwear. This wouldn't have happened if they didn't reduce price

Cool Greys are easily the best Edition One.
