Not sure if I’m gonna keep. Just as a warning...the moment you unfold the hoodie fleece goes everywhere
Yah man the JE warehouse or wherever these were made must be filled with a ton of little fleece balls that fell off. JE really screwed up on these by not putting the same fleece as os comix hoodies. The cotton fleece is whack.

is that the Tan? how'd you size?

Yeah, it's the tan colorway. I also went TTS but I may want to size up, I'm like right on the fence; so maybe I should just add a mile or two to my daily exercise and it'll fit better. Also worth noting, its really lightweight which is great for S/S

I am sure the hoody just need to go through a wash cycle to clear any loose pilling on the cotton. I have to say though I am getting progressively dissapointed with the disparity in price vs quality. JE for me was always insane quality basics! But the last few tees I bought looked like crap after 2 cycles (on cold). Other garments such as my escobars opening at the seams over a few wears. Clearly there are scaling production issues here and I dont mean this to be a negative rant but thats why I am looking at other brands for basics. I will come back when the old JE returns.

I was going to cop a pair of Escobar sweats. Anyone else having this issue.

Looking to shorten my grey anti expo, I believe someone did this awhile back? Should I go with scissors or utility knife? I'm not sure it really matters considering it will eventually roll up. Anyone care to comment on their experiences?

As someone who has owned 5 pairs of escobars from normal mainline to the loopwheel, I have never had a quality issue with any of them. My loopwheel esco's are easily my favorite pair cause they are so damn thick and comfy.

Not sure how I feel about it. I like my other hoodies better. As mentioned, the fleece isn't as nice as on the os comic from 9.5, but the outside terry is really soft. I don't really like the waistband as it rides up in the back and hugs my under tee to wrinkle it more instead of a draping flow. I can hold off and wait to cop this down the line for less than $100 or not even have it at all. It's not worth the $$ to me and it's annoying how the inside leaves so many fuzz balls on my tee and all over the place in my bathroom just from trying it on.

I like the thick ribbing but it was the fuzz balls I was worried about! :-/

Fall 2018

Photo from showroom in Paris. I am sure models on NYFW will wear them together with maybe some new footwear on JE show.
