Sick, gonna grab a couple different colours. So if I’m normally a L (6 foot, 190lbs), definitely go down to a M?

I don't want to steer you wrong but all the advice from SI and 18 East is to size down. You can also ask Jarod...he's responsive and a solid guy.

For reference in the pic I posted a few pages back I'm 6' 165 with a 39/40" chest. I'm wearing a small.

I generally wear medium in most brands. In JE tops (tees, hoodies, thumpers, button shirts etc.) I wear large.

Do beach hoodies work if you size up? looks like for @CARTEL777 at least, the shasta beach worked well when sized up. But maybe the other colors not so much, can anybody chime in?

I have only sized up on one Beach Hoodie. The special hoodies (Boucle, dyed pieces, etc) in a size medium fit me great. I don't like the fit of the regular Beach Hoodies. They're slim in the body and the sleeves are long and loose. I need to try the regular Beach Hoodie in a size up. I think @Lextino sized up on his black Beach Hoodie.

Yeah the fit even sized up to large isn’t good on me the sleeves are mad long it’s still kinda slim in the body too.

@tommo Noticed you're selling your Cast 2 Ash. Might grab it off you. Any reason why you decided not to keep them?


Side note: These models fits really aren't doing JE any justice.

It's just strange how they get models with toothpick legs that make Cast 2 fits not look tapered or skinny at all.
I would take that pic with a grain of salt, the canal wash also came in the Kane cut, so it may just be the latter. Also, a lot of the time they just pull a 32 and a medium, despite the size of the model, so they may just be really huge on the model.
