Been awhile since I copped the villain but I think the olive is a must have. What is the consensus on sizing for villains. Go TTS or size up? Does terry stretch out a lot after a year or two.

I used to size up but then it would stretch and become too big. Now I go tts, it starts tight but stretches to perfection after a few wears. I'm 5'7, 150lbs for reference and wear M in villains/t's. Thinking on grabbing my first pair of escobars tomo. Any suggestions on sizing? I wear a 28 in cast/coast. Small in Nike tech fleece sweats. Small seems like the right choice as long as they stretch out a bit

Same size as me. Get a small.

How long did it take to stretch? I sized up to a large in my black one. Worn it a bunch since I got it about 3 months ago and haven't experienced any stretching but now I'm wondering if I should've went medium.

If you worn it a bunch of times, it's probably stretched as much as it will. It doesn't grow by sizes. Just gets a bit looser that's it.

As stated above^ it will only get a little bit looser. Won't drastically stretch a full size

Any canadian customers have any experience with the tax/duty costs?
I've been purchasing from Canadian retailers but I want to the olive villain hoodie.
Any help is appreciated

I order from Toronto and I get dinged duties/taxes every single time I order. I think there's been one time where I haven't been charged duties and it was on a smaller order. It's usually around 90-100 bucks on average if you are buying a few pieces each time.

Not sure what effect NAFTA has on this kind of thing but it hasn't been good for me at least .

Looking forward to copping one of the hooded villians which will be my first.

I want the esco's too but I am still deciding on whether or not to go M or large. I have both sizes and they both fit, it's tough and I guess just a matter of preference.

That's a bummer. I'm also in Toronto, but based on my 9-10 orders direct from JE, I have only got dinged for duties/taxes twice. I find it has been for larger orders - if I just ordered one villain, I would be fine. Just make sure you pick USPS for shipping.

This is very true. I experienced the same thing, I've made many orders of 2-3 pieces each shipping to China with USPS. I did not get taxed a single time for USPS, but when I used DHL express which is supposed to be 3 business days, it took more than 3 weeks to get it cleared and I had to pay 80 bucks in taxes/duties. Make sure you choose the USPS option because it will be faster and the chances of getting taxed is quite low.

This is for all the og fans, priced out fans and overall fans of basics.


I might get the escobars. Love that color. Olive villain is tempting too but I 5 villains would be overkill

Thinking about the exact same thing as you...charcoal escos is a must-cop because i only have one pair of escos, but contemplating on whether or not I should cop the olive villain...Already have the villain in black, sand, midnight, and charcoal...

I'm 5'6" 155lbs. I just recently purchased Escobars in a Medium and they are working out for me just fine. I was concerned about whether or not to go with Small or Medium... so I contacted JE directly. They recommended the Mediums and I am very happy with the fit. JE made it very clear that the sweats run very slim. Once that was made clear - I really had no issues copping the Mediums.

Yea, I like the villain but then it feels like you are wearing the same thing all the time when you own so many. Plus I don't really wear mine that often that I need so many.

I'm your weight and an inch taller. I wear a small but it honestly depends on your build too. I have skinny legs so the small fits. If you hsve bigger thighs and calves then a medium can easily work. I'm wearing a pair of small shorts here.
