JE sweats look like leggings for an hour max. Lol by the second wear, they are hanging off the legs.

this is the reason I stopped buying JE sweats. My escos got the knee bags within a week of wearing and it's baggy now. I still wear it tho

My Black and Washed Black Escos stretched so fast. My grey Escos are the most snug and seem to be keeping their shape after a couple wears... we will see how long that lasts. That didn’t stop me from buying Rios though lol.

I’m against sizing down on the sweats, I’m a 29 in JE denim and buy a medium in the Escos, I think it looks weird when you’re sweats look like leggings

I refuse to do it, and even after bagging out mines still look quite slim. The amount of bag out could totally be related to leg size I guess, cause I also don't really have an issue with my denim bagging out either but that seems to be a popular issue here.

I just throw my sweats in the dryer for a few minutes and the knees bounce right back.

Do replica sweatpants stretch a lot as other JE sweatpants or are they more nonstretch ?

I don’t think sizing down helps with the bagging. I agree don’t size down for the legging look. My brown rio have knee bags after the first wear. Boucle as well. I feel like the terry on my black pair from a few years ago is the best. Anything from the last several years bags out way too fast. Dryer helps but only for the first hour or so of wearing.

Interesting... did they change terry quality over the years you think?

Just got a washed black pair of replica sweats. They are a lot heavier weight than Escobar’s. I’m hoping they don’t stretch as much.

Norwegian Rain might make some of the best coats I've ever owned with regards to weatherproofing.

Excellent recommendation. I've handled the NW Bumfreezer, which was phenomenal, but never purchased as other items climbed to the top of my want list. I am hopeful to add one to my wardrobe in 2019. In the meatime, recommend Ten-C. I own a Ten-C Anorak, combined with the Down Jacket Liner, and that thing repels rain beautifully. Have walked in downpours and water beads up and rolls out and interior stays bone dry. Ten-C has a more casual vibe too, which is great. It's pricey AF, but most brands with real tech/water proof or high water repellent qualities with nice design features are though.
