Would you say it's thicker that the SD uni tees? I really like the grey/pink combo but will wait for them to go on sale. Wish they made them in short sleeve tees

It felt slightly thicker. Not sure if it really is.. may be the difference in feel of material. SD is definitely softer.

Thanks. Still not sure if they need to be tighter. So I have some 34 Carbons now to compare. Those are a bit skin tight, they loosen up as I wear them and then they snap back. The Skittles don't have a lot of stretch so it will look a bit looser. I think if I go to 34, might be too tight without the stretch. 35 would be ideal. The waist is fine on me, but not sure if it will stretch a lot. The calves on the 36 Skittles are perfect, but clearly a bit larger than I want on thighs.

Still not sure if I should keep them...
Appreciate the feedback! Yea definitely need to grab a pair.. I’m pretty much a true 34. So at times the thigh might be a little issue from the start but usually stretch a bit. Just picked the Coba’s in a 34 and it’s A1

How's the waist right now? If it's strangling you, you could probably go up a size. Those are jeggings right now. The first run of Obsidians definitely stretched a ton though.
The waist is perfect, plenty of room in the upper thigh, the knee down is very tight though.

My Odeons are 34 also, yet a 35 would fit better on my calves. I think I'll just wear the Skittles a bit looser and will probably hem them to be above the ankle level for a more casual look. Hopefully one day we will get a 35

yea definitely need a 36 option.. so thigh wise the skittles in a 34 is perfect for you?

I haven't tried a 34 yet. I guess I might have to do that before I start cutting the pants. I was just basing my opinion on the fact that the Carbons are skin tight on my thighs. They also bunch up a bit more now because of the super long inseam so my hope is that they will look cleaner after hemming.

Man, y’all messed with my head with this whole stretching business. I’ve been wearing these neros so damn much to stretch them out but that ish is not happening. Shoulda done size 29s rather than 28 on all my JE denim

Looks good...

Is that the Ecru Uni tee?
