Just got the confirmation that part of my order from Black Friday has been cancelled due to incorrect inventory. Sure took them a while to figure that out.

Everyone needs to relax, there is more than likely going to be a restock. Web exclusive is a way for John Elliott to rake in some cash. Typical markup from dead net cost is 230%. When John Elliott sells to a retailer, they need to sell it to them at wholesale cost and the retailer marks it up to 230% from DNC. So the profit margin for John Elliott to sell to retailers at wholesale price is significantly less than selling direct to you.

Would not be surprised to see a restock on a more general release for SS16, hence why it's called a Pre-SS16 collection. Plus there's probably all sorts of manufacturing constraints and they posted the first production batch for web only. Even the loopwheel was restocked and people were freaking out on that one.

In regards to how John Elliott offers slim clothing and not Size 27 waist or XS consistently. Just because a designer offers slim clothing doesn't mean they necessarily offer clothing for anorexic malnourished individuals. Quite honestly, I used to be at that point 6-7 years ago. Go eat a balanced diet, go work out a little and get to a normal weight. You're wasting money buying clothes at 120lbs, unless you want to stay at that weight for the rest of your life. You're going to struggle buying any clothes off the rack.

Totally-- And they should get rid of XL while they're at it, because they shouldn't offer clothing for obese individuals. Those people need to work out a little and get to a normal weight. And they should get rid of S and L too, since only M's, or rather whatever size you are, should be allowed to walk this earth.

Actually they should only make clothes in XXL because we are either jacked from lifting or fat from eating. Keeping the big guys happy is the only way to ensure the safety of the rest of humanity. #FeedmefleshandIron

its funny people are forgetting genetics in all of this. Not everyone can be big. If you are short, your average weight will never be more than 140-150 if you are healthy. In that range, xs might be your best bet. In Asian countries, the sizing is generally always smaller. also a small might be too long, etc.

in either case, the JE brand really isn't for the super small or the super big. Not the end of the world, but I get why some people need / want the smaller sizes.

Sooo my order status from black friday still says "unfulfilled" and payment status says "partially refunded" but the charge has been of my card since I made the purchase. Haven't received any updates on tracking info or nothing whatsoever from john elliott.... is this happening to anyone else?

Sweet. Just received my Hanois, did a quick try on in he work bathroom. Sorry for ****** fit pic. Just wanted to make sure they fit. Took some closer detail shots too. Just enough room in the thighs and tapered as **** from the knee down. Overall, pretty pleased with the fit.
