Hi guys, first time poster, new to the forum.
Just wondering if I should size down for a pair of JE denim (Cast 2 Coast 2 if I'm being specific) that I'm looking to buy. Size 30 Levi's fit me basically perfectly. Some of the sellers I found who are selling size 30 on Grailed are telling me go with TTS, most of the places I can find info on this are telling me to size down. I'm 5'10" 140lbs skinny build, if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

We have a similar build (5'-09" + 145 LBS). I have size 30 Cast 2 Nimbus + Carbons. The Carbons were tight at first but loosened up after a day of wear. I am sizing down on my next Cast 2 purchase.

Just noticed those after you pointed it out.

I'd like to pick up marigold and mojave, but probably passing until way later in the year. Also, def in for the white and black uni tees. That was a hush hush release? Don't even know when they were added.

Yeah they just popped up on the site a few weeks back.

Question for all the Iridescent Bomber Owners. Didn't get much feedback on a previous post, but need advice on sizing as I plan to purchase the jacket soon.

Go TTS. I am 5'9, 180-185 athletic build (lot of gym time) and I got a L. It fits perfect and I couldnt have sized down. An XL would look ridic. The L fits with a T and also a thinner hoodie layered so I'm great with it. I wear a L in almost all other hoodies so hope that helps.

Some good deals at nomad. Grabbed these 2 for about 50% off.

NICE - love that flannel.

I sized up and love the roomier fit. I’m a large in anti expo, 32 waist in cast 2, and picked up XL iridescent bomber. It doesn’t feel too big, and think it will be able to layer a hoodie underneath a bit better.

Looks quite carrot-y in this pic but really digging baggier pants these days. Looking forward to see how JE executes

Damn! Missed that restock of the camo practice short in size small. Who grabbed it? HMU if you decide against. Hope JE does a full restock soon on both colors.

I’m the same build and I size 28 in JE with the exception of Dillons and Nimbus. Start out tight but stretch to fit great. It depends on your preference of fit tho. If you want a very slim fit go 28 but more relaxed go 29.
Thanks, I'm gonna try 29 and go from there.

If black waxed Cast 2's are coming it'll be a day 1 cop...unless the price is unreasonable.
I'm tired of trying to hunt down a pair of black waxed hedi era d02.

For the Skittles, how did you guys hem them? My tailor is confused about the process. Are there some special scissors?

Same. There is no reason why they should have an extremely high retail either. I'm pretty sure JE will price them high, but doesn't make sense to me if they do.

Think you might need to find a new tailor if they need advice on how to tailor. I would be scared they might mess them up due to lack of experience.
