I’m trying to figure out the vision for this shoe and overwhelming lack of excitement for it on here. Is it supposedly to look “Made in Italy” unfinished or is it a neo-vintage heel scuff?

Guys what’s the consensus on sweatspants?

I have LA’s in 26oz, but never got the lightweight ones. I think I recall someone saying the elastic hems weren’t as tight on the lightweight, so you couldn’t get the stacked look as the hem didn’t stand up to it.

are the Sochis the go-to now over the lightweight LAs? I need some black and some grey sweats.

Or is it worth going with a brand like Coke Buxton and saving a few $$$

i like my escobars great sweatpant. Also i dont know if cashmere LA’s are comparible to lightweight La’s (im sure they are close) but I really like those too. I went small in LA and med in esco.

I have the steelhead 16oz LAs and the cuffs are plenty tight. They don’t slide down at all if you want to wear them higher up. I really like them. Have another pair of 16oz and another pair of 26oz coming tomorrow.

As someone else said, UniformLA look like a good alternative if you’re trying to save some money, but I’ve never tried them. Cole Buxton may be cheaper as you’re in the UK too.

Thanks for all the replies

so I might’ve mistaken the cashmere’s that are a bit looser.

It seems it’s actually the 16oz will do just fine

thanks again!

The 16oz cuff is tight enough but they are more prone to bagging out vs. the 26oz version.
