The L.E.J Appreciation Thread

[garigo]

I recently discovered the London-based brand L.E.J, and I figured it deserved its own thread, given that people seem to like it but it hasn't been discussed that much on Styleforum.

Let me start by sharing some of their outfits and pieces that I find the most interesting. I don't own anything from them yet, but looking forward to picking something up soon and seeing what's coming next for them. It would be really nice if people that have a direct experience with the brand could chime in!

It's like he wore loafers so he didn't have to tie his shoes but then didn't tie his pants and may still slip.

SF vendor No Man Walks Alone carries the brand so I'm sure quite a few people on the forum have handled their pieces. They did an IG live with the designer talking about his design influences and going through their f/w buy last year which I'm sure you can find on their IG page.

I like the brand quite a bit and feel like it has a lot of european romance but the pieces themselves are quite functional.

Can’t really argue with that…

Thanks, I’ll check out the IG Live! And I agree with your impressions on the brand. I think they fall into the category of refined workwear that’s really popular right now.

I have the navy/green pyjama set and really like it.

I also bought corduroy pants from LEJ this past F/W but ended up returning it because the thighs were too tight. Front pockets could've been bigger also imo.

Would be interested in a quick release coat in a 100% silk fabric.

If you're a XS Matches has a bunch of pieces for a ridiculous price.

Very nice experience! Right now I’m looking forward to them bringing back the cinch back blouson In black corduroy.

Selling L.E.J. “Overall It’s just a jacket” - green moleskin, size S - brand new , never worn!

(No sales tags but purchased directly from C’H’C’M)

@garigo any experience with their cord pants? Do you happen to know if their size 34 would fit a 17” waist across?

 

[thatboyo]

Their pants run small. Would size up at least one, or even two sizes.

I’m comparing measurements between NMWA and LEJ store. That helps! @thatboyo

No direct experience myself. Excited for the SS collection to come out though!

1. Anyone have any LEJ items for sale? Ideally in a M or L

2. Does anyone have experience with LEJ's Shell Blouson? (https://www.lej.london/products/jk-00107-wd20-shell-blouson) - the red is really striking to me

Sheeeeeesh, that looks amazing and is not helping my willpower to avoid it! Fit about true to size? I'm usually a medium, but sometimes need a large for my shoulders. Would ideally like this to not be super oversized - thank you!
