Did I buy a FAKE off Grailed? So the oversized marbled crew sweater is one of my fave JE pieces and I could never find the black. So I found one on grailed. It feels a lot crunchier and stiff compared to my blue and beige ones that I bought from legit retailers. Also the tags look different.

I didn't really think there were fakes of JE tbh, but that is super weird. Maybe @MIKE_JE can chime in?

I don’t think you bought a fake. Some of my JE that I’ve bought from other retailers is different than the ones I’ve bought direct from JE.

My double dye painter pants I bought from 1032 Space are tagged size “30”. I went to the JE flagship in LA, the exact same pants were tagged size “1”.

Also that crunchiness happens with some of my hoodies after I wash it and hang dry. They become stiff from that process.

hope this puts your mind at ease!

Nah bruh, you’re good. Think this color was some sort of exclusive to a site so I don’t think a ‘season’ was listed on tag

the black marble crew was released twice, first in March 2018 and then again in November 2018. the first release had the SS18 on the tag while the second did not. the second release was a collab with mr porter and was less gray or marbled when compared to the first. here is a photo of mine, 2nd release, without the SS18 tag. it's not fake, you good ??

edit: and just to double down, here is a photo of my black marble shorts from the first drop that were more gray/marbled. your blue and beige is from the OG drop while black is from the 2nd.

I went TTS. The insole is super thick so it would have been hard for me to size down.

Ok so I didn't imagine it. I'll do some digging to see what that majority did. Shipping and returns from Toronto are a nightmare for overall costs so would like to nail my size.
