Pretty much my thought process. I have 5 white, black, grey uniqlo tees that i rotate... I can’t affors to spend $800+ on JE tees
JE blend tees spoiled me. Looking for viable cheaper replacements. Everlane cotton isn’t bad; gonna try UniformLA and Kotn.

Does anyone know how JE deals with product damage with wear? I've had a pair of Coast 2 for about 10 months and the crotch is blowing out. There's a hole and you can see the stitching ready to come undone. They haven't even been worn that much because of the summer here and I'm pretty disappointed since these cost me like ~$400.

In my experience, you're pretty much out of luck if you've had them for a while and it isn't a super obvious defect. When I had a tee develop a hole after 2 wears, I was told they couldn't do anything since and offered 10% off. This was a long time ago so things may have changed, your best bet is to email CS and see what happens.

which ones? supima? how do they fit?
uniqlo supima sized up 1 fit good and are great for the money. also their uniqlo u crewnecks t's are nice being heavier weight with a boxy fit. i've been done with je extended t's although i still wear them occasionally.

I’m with you on the supima and the Uniqlo U tees. I find the supima to fit like the classic crew just not as long. I have a bunch of JE tees that I think are just too long now, but they are perfect when you wanna tuck in your tee.

JE tees look weird to me on anyone under 6 feet.... I'm 6'2 and think the tees are too long at times

It happens. I've had crotches blow on much more expensive denim. Price won't really dictate longevity. They most definitely won't do anything outside of MAYBE a good will % discount. But realistically, you can't wear a pair of shoes for a year and then complain that the sole is wearing down - this is no different.

Yeah I got s blow out in my nimbus. That’s how it goes with multiple wears and no washing. The jeans weakens over time without regular wash. Also keep in mind how you sit down. If you have your legs open it puts stress on the crotch area. Make sure your jeans are pulled up enough So you put less stress on the jeans
