That black fleece is cool, but yea, grown man ish is what I need more of. I always struggle to put together something I'm actually excited to wear when it's time to be an adult and go to a fancy dinner or a wedding, etc. There's some stuff from Virgil's LV run that I'm actually really into that fits what I want in formal wear but that price tag just scares me away. I want grown man clothes that still have an edge to them, and most of the time JE comes with a handful of pieces like that for F/W, so I'm just disappointed I'm not seeing anything like that so far.

I have the same dilemma myself. At 37, I’m getting too old for some of the stuff I like. Even casual clothes I only need so much of it as I only wear it when I’m not working and with kids I only have a limited number of places to go. I can wear more grown up stuff to work if I can pull it off as business casual.

One word RHUDE. Rhuigi’s evolution was huge on the upcoming collection.

It’s crazy to see the evolution of some of these “street wear” brands. Rhude, amiri, off-white. I was very surprised by off-white, and actually didn’t hate it. Virgil did a great job of evolving off-white. It’s cool to see all these brands go from their infancy into adulthood. Like us, we aren’t kids anymore, nor should we be dressing like it.

that’s what I’m talking about for sure. I’ll be keeping an eye on all this stuff when it starts dropping. Rhude especially. I liked a lot of pieces in there, and the styling is moving more in the direction I’m trying to go in.

green jacket looks like anything you can buy from theory or any number of upscale brands

those who find JE jeans too long do you prefer to turn them up or get hemmed and loose the effect of the original distressing?

I still find myself sticking mostly to JE basics of denim, tees and hoodies which I think he still nails at the price point...particularly the denim. I find some ALD is a nice compliment but still haven't gone down the road of FoG, Rhude etc.

This discussion has been beat to death, because you’re a new member I’ll cut you some slack...
If you are short and have a lot of excess fabric at the hem, you’re better off getting the pants hemmed, if you like the distress and rope effect then ask your tailor to attach the original hem. If you’re tall/have long legs and you just have a few inches of excess length and can roll/cuff go for it. But if you’re going for a clean/smart vibe, you’re better off getting them hemmed.

Don't have the original hem re-attached though, it's a bad idea: https://williamsburggarment.com/blog/avoid-original-hem-alterations/

Thanks
Yeah will get it hemmed but some people prefer chain stitching but I want to retain it so will most likely not go for that.

And I think you've said you live in UK, so Williamsburg Garment or Railcar might not work for you, but when I want to hem jeans with a chain stitch, I send them off to a place that specializes in chain stitching to do the alteration. Looks like Denim Doctor or Son of a Stag are London based spots that offer the service.

I'm getting too much "formal waiter" from this fit man.

Kempy coat arrived. Seller didn't mention loose bottom! It is slim. With this SLP jumper it's quite fitted but not uncomfortable. Thoughts?

FOG is just another more expensive version of I'm going somewhere like a basketball game, the movies, or out in the day wit friends. ALD though, at that lower price point nails it for me cause they do sweats and casual stuff but then give you stuff that if you switch out sneakers for a clean boot or something you can now go to dinner and not look to uptight and stuffy.

thanks!
Anyone think the length is too much?
I could get it shortened to just below crotch.
