I finally found my grail Richmond jacket in both of my potential sizes - XL and XXL. Unfortunately this thing is just way too short on me. I am returning both to the eBay seller but figured I'd ask here if anyone wants either. Both are BNWT still in original plastic - $160 + shipping. Let me know!

I recently got some some obsidians in my normal 32 for cast 2. I couldn’t even pull them up enough they were so tight. I sent them back ASAP. I have a hard time believing they’ll stretch out that much.

Just curious - what is your chest size? The size chart makes these look ridiculously tight but it looks really nice.

Just got my Sochi sweats in and the fit is so good. Went TTS medium. However, the cinch cord is damaged on both bottom hems. Emailed customer service but these are final sale. Hopefully they’ll honor a return. Can’t even exchange since they sold out of M. Sheesh.

Unacceptable. But they will help you on this type of thing regardless of final sale.

I’ve seen questions about raw indigo pop up from time to time and not many answers. Here is my pair after 6 months of wear and the first wash:

They have stretched in the waist about
2-2.5”. The rest has become slightly
relaxed but for the most part retains the original / intended fit. They have softened up and become incredibly comfortable. I just instinctively throw them on, only denim I ever really wear. No signs of crotch blowout, or any other holes,which is very impressive for a lightweight, stretch denim with this much wear. They have faded with high contrast combs, whiskers and stacks, which again, is impressive for stretch denim. I love them, and hope to get many more years of wear from them. Probably going to cop another pair to have on deck.
Dude you just got me so excited for my raw cast 2 to come in, was hearing so much negativity about breaking them in but these look good!

Chicago standup!!! Didn’t know U were from Chicago.

Yes sir!

Honestly there really has not been much negativity, only negativity was it being too tight going TTS. I went 1 up and they're one of my favorite and best fitting jeans, have stretched out perfectly in 20+ wears. I can say they're my go-to/beater denim.
