^ Surprised at this cynicism on a sale restock...There’s not strategy to hold back colors. This particular fabric is not developed in heather grey.

What's the difference between the loose stitch and LA sweatpants? They look similar and I like both. Not sure which one to get.

Do you size the same in LA Sweats as you do Escobar’s and Sochi’s? @MIKE_JE

Similar to what @srizvi722 said, I personally have them is small whereas the other two you mentioned I wear medium. I could 100% wear a medium in them and they would not be overly baggy, I just like the heavier fabric a bit slimmer. It’s personal preference.

Fabric and stitch details.The LA Sweatpants are substantially heavier weight.

I went tts. my hips and legs are bigger from lifting so for me, the sweats are more fitted than relaxed. thinking about picking up oak in a size up for a looser fit. it's one of my favorite JE colors, right next to alpine (@MIKE_JE any plans to bring alpine back? wouldn't mind picking up a raglan crew/uni tee)

anyway, decided to throw la sweats on today with vintage crew.

@MIKE_JE has the idea of 26oz Escobar’s been tossed around internally?

How has the elastic cuff held up for the people who have owned the LA sweats for a little while? I am on the fence about grabbing these

No hate - more choice at better prices is always welcomed by everyone. There’s just surprisingly little light grey options in any of the sweatpants models. The light melange grey is a classic sweatpant color, it’s the “white shoe”, “light wash denim” of sweatpants colorways and it’s essentially non existent on the site (exc cashmere).

yeah, to echo this - do the cuffs keep their elasticity?

even after multiple wears with them hiked up to the calves?


and i remember a few people mentioning way back how the color on the la sweats would bleed (might've been for the "washed" colors only) - can anybody else comment?

Here’s a quick update on my pair of canyons after their first wash. I really like the colour a lot more overall now cause it’s less vibrant and dark, so honestly that’s a really good development. Overall i’m happy, but really sad cause i ripped my washed graphites.. ??

Fresh raw denim and new AF1s what can go wrong? Lol.

I'm tempted by the LA sweats too but doesn't the weight (26 ounces!) make it cold weather (fall/winter) only? Anyone know how the fit is compared to vintage fleece and ebisus?

I'm a large in Escobar's which fits me skinny and a medium in vintage fleece which has relaxed legs without being too baggy. Would a large be baggier in the legs than medium VF? @MIKE_JE

I’m in Florida, heavier sweats would be nice for my apartment which I set it to be like the arctic.

Damn, these actually look good. Thanks for the update, my first insight into faded Canyons.
