For anyone that has the season 7.5 thumper in washed black, does the color of your jacket look almost like a faded grey? I purchased it off grail and it was supposedly never washed but I had them dry cleaned. I kinda wish the color was darker as shown in the stock photos.

JE stock pics especially from past seasons have always made the colors look more vibrant. I don’t know the photography terms since I’m not a photographer at all, but basically the stock pics on their site for previous items have been very different in my experience. It’s annoying.

Oh I see, I thought I completely ruined the wash but still the difference is pretty substantial

It is definitely a lighter grey than the stock photos indicate

Thinking of giving the Hemi a try. I'm a 3/L in classic crews, AEs, and the old curved hem flannels but a 2/M in my longsleeve Uni. Website says the 6'2 model is wearing a 2/M so im leaning that way (im 6ft).

Any strong opinions on the matter?

It’s oversized so if you generally follow the model and it looks good on them stick with that size

Made my first ever purchase on the JE website, the plum AE and the beach crew. Even though these have hit other retailers, my size is mostly gone or low in stock and wasn't sure I'd be able to grab them later on sale.

The beach crew fits slim in TTS if that's what you are going for.

Fits like the beach hoodie if you have that. And not overly slim.
hmm I've got the raglan hoodie TTS and according to measurements the beach crew has the same chest width? doubts are starting to creep in..

TTS is fine. I just felt it fit a bit slim. But everyone's preferences are different. I like a crewneck to fit a bit looser and relaxed.

I also am in a weird size range where I'm in between 2 sizes lol.

True. Any fit pics you got?
I too like them roomy and relaxed but I can work with slim fit, as long as it doesn't feel like its stuck on my body.

Thinking of grabbing a pair of Raw Indigos as a dark wash to complete the collection. Anyone have experience and know if they're prone to bleeding on everything?
