I'm on the verge of giving up on JE jeans regardless of the cut. Cast 2 is too tight if I go true to size. Waist is too big if I size up. Kane 2 seems too tight if I size down and too big at the waist if I go TTS.

Size up and get the waist tailored

The older cast 2 were real ballhuggers. But If you go for carbons in tts they will stretch well for the perfect fit.

Are the Lucky tees shorter in torso length than the usual JE tees? I have a theory that John Elliott himself specifically makes the tees longer to appeal to NBA players.

Was the Nimbus in stock before? I don't remember them being there, but they are now in all sizes. From what I've read based on search it's a tighter fitting wash?

How has the nimbus stretched for people over time? I got size 34 (tags still on while I break them in) and they feel like the tightest cast 2 I have. I've only worn them a handful of times and thinking I may have to sell them

Didn't you order a 28 and a 30 in Kane 2? You probably need the 29.

U been talkin a lot of non sense on here first off white now this ??‍♂️
What's wrong with Off-White when you can get it on sale? I'm not even talking about the loud pieces. @WhaleShark rocked an Off-White tee that looked pretty nice and had a neat wash to it.

And it's a known fact JE takes a lot of basketball inspiration for his brand's aesthetic. Ever since 2014, some of the most commonly worn JE pieces by NBA players are the T-shirts. Slim fit everything was in back then, but not anymore. JE introduced new, boxier, oversized pieces to reflect that change, but the length of the newer tees remained the same. I'm not even the only or the first one to point this out.

Stretch is the biggest concern for me with size 28s. There's very little leeway as some of the waist sizes are just too big after an initial break-in, if not right away. I don't remember them being in stock before but they are now, though apparently final sale.

I love this brand as much as the next man, but I don't know what type of subconscious mind control got you all so pressed when other brands are briefly discussed. I'm not even dissing the brand or anything. I'm just trying to gauge what you got going in your wardrobe because I know JE is a great brand, so you probably have great taste in other brands and looks.
