@Onohediint I prefer wearing my bogota II with just a tee

Looks good man. Did you size the same as your tees and other JE?

Appreciate that. Here’s a pic of the Nicasio Bomber in Spruce. I was told beforehand the Nicasio Program ran big so I went with a large. I’m normally an XL/2XL in JE outerwear.

What size jeans do you wear? I'm 6'3" 190-195 lbs and athletic build, I don't even feel like I am that muscular but I can't even get the cast 2 around my calves. I'd love to wear JE denim but can't get sizing right...think I should give the daze a go?

Ok ?? time lol. Well in cast 2 I’m normally a 34. I hate the fit on my calves. Those in the pic above were the Juliettes. Out of all my cast 2s, those and the carbons stretched out enough for a comfortable fit. Honestly it’s over for me with the cast 2 unless I go up to a size 36. My skittles are a 36 and I love the fit. I never had a pair of daze but I would recommend it due to your calves.

Cast 2 is too slim in the calf for me as well. Cast 1 is slightly better and I have a pair of those but I only wear Kane 2/Himalayan/Cargo/LA sweat bottoms now.

I'll post about this to no end but much of the Cast 2 sizing is incredibly frustrating because it's one of my favorite cuts of any jeans I've owned. I'm a small guy and currently hover around 135 pounds -- I'm sure there are plenty of guys like me out there in the world. I have fairly skinny legs I can wear Cast 2 Obsidians in a 28, but I've had some of the blue washes in the past and the waists on just about all of the ones I've tried are just too baggy on me. I've come to find that if I want actual quality denim, basically only the high end Japanese brands (PBJ, Tanuki, etc.) make sizes that actually fit me well and get narrow enough in the waist that they're fine with regular stretch. I will say that I stick to higher rises for those, but they all fit.

At the same time, JE sells various sweats and shorts that start at 25" in the waist for the XS. Even accounting for a lower rise, why do the jeans start at almost 31" in most cases? Who are they targeting with the insanely narrow sweats that are borderline even too tight for me in an XS even with stretch? The Kanes are all listed as starting at 32" and assuming that's accurate, I physically cannot wear them without being able to just pull them off.

I want to say JE isn't the only brand that's guilty of this because most are. Monday morning coffee rant over for now.

On a positive note my bucket hat and overshirt should be here tomorrow and I'll post pictures when I have them.

Are your Himalayan's really loud when you walk? I just picked up the back sateen cargo's and love them, really want to try the Himalayan pants again but I remember trying them on and they seemed really loud with any movement lol
