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.. ??

How did you size in the washed graphites compared to your usual cast 2?

You def should size up in the raw graphite’s. They’re much tighter than the raw indigo. I have skinny legs and in my TTS they were women’s jeans. So glad I took the size up. They’d fit exactly as you want them too. They’ll also mold to your body.

I own the LA sweats in washed black. I’m 5’11” about 148 lbs, take a 29 in cast 2, got size M. They’re ok. Wish they were longer. All JE sweats I take size M bc size S is too cropped.

Size L would be too big for you I'm assuming?

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
Hasn’t held up as well. The LA does stretch out and gives it a little bit more baggier fit as you wear it more. Especially in the waistband. The sweats will be tight at first but everything loosens up. I pretty much lived in these from BF up until February. I ended up moving on to a diff same style sweats.

I would recommend going your Esco size in these.

WHOA did the John Elliott website sale just add LA Sweatpants? I swear that wasn't there before, at least not in washed black.
I wasn't planning on getting anymore items for awhile but just pulled the trigger on the last M washed black LA sweats..

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.

What size are you wearing here? and what are your dimensions? Thanks.
