Just copped the harlots and skittles and looking to get some boots
I've had Saint Laurent but looking at common projects rn
Does anyone know about sizing and comfort?
I'm a 10.5 usually in shoes and boots

42/43 both work fine for me in the Achilles. I got 2 pairs of the chelseas in 42 and regret not doing the 43 bc they're narrow up front. Comfort wise, pretty damn comfortable, as long as you size appropriately. If you're speaking of boots, I have a pair of the combats in 42 and they fit spot on/comfortable as well

I need to try JE denim again, I tried 2 pairs and thought they looked Teerible on me. Looks like I'll be taking another shot at them sometime soon

@nsubrmnn yeah I really wish that Bomber released from s8. Those bombers/jackets from the runways always seem to get dropped. Hoping to see more JE jacket releases

U.K. Department stores ship to the US, and when the vat is removed it is generally significantly cheaper. Like what people did with buying the JE stuff off the U.K. Mr. porter site

Is the vat automatically removed on the mr porter site when shipping to the uk? Or do you have to go through a process to claim it back?

The uk mr porter site seemed

Everything was more than if you bought and shipped from us..

I wore my raglan raw edge hoody today, if you don't own one, buy one.
the best pullover I've ever worn, I noticed when removing, the tag on it said mainline? So the raw edge hoody is here to stay and will be released every season? If so great news

Kake Mock Loopwheel is way better than the raw edge hoodie. I prefer raw edge crewnecks if I were to pick a raw edge.

do you guys prefer the look of the black loopwheel raglan or the grey loopwheel raglan?

I personally like how the black one looks. I haven't seen it in person, but based off the picture posted on this thread, the grey one doesn't have an expensive look to it. And having the white around the zipper reminds me of alternative apparel zip-ups I used to wear in high school.

I think they are both classic pieces and classic colors and if the construction is what people are saying it is, they both will last you a lifetime. The question is what you're lacking in your closet and what meshes with the colors you have.
I personally think the grey is a more unique color and will work well with more. Black goes in and out of fashion so you may get more use out of the grey.

But what do I know, I'm one of the many SF members that "lacks creativity" and has a "boring AF wardrobe". Maybe ask the JE guys on Niketalk.

Does anyone have both the loopwheel & flash dual fullzip that can compare the quality? I wouldn't mind spending extra 100 but It doesn't have dual zippers, srsly why doesn't it, & not sure how I feel about those drawstrings.

The drawstrings are a significant upgrade.

The fit is more relaxed but just slightly. We're talking a matter of 1-2 centimeters in key areas. The terry cloth itself is significantly better; It's airy, soft, and has a springiness to the fabric. Well worth the mark up IMO

Ya I just returned mine..gonna stick with my villain loopwheel

I'm surprised more people haven't been sharing their opinions on the new loopwheel stuff. I got my black loopwheel Kake in on Friday, and wore it out that same night. I really love how soft the terry is, and the feeling is more substantial as it is thicker than the normal french terry.

Sizing and fit-wise, I went for my regular size (3/L), and I'm very satisfied with the fit. I personally wouldn't size down since the Kake is already cropped in the body, and it probably would've been too short if I did (for reference, I also wear a 3/L in the villain).

For those of you on the fence, I would strongly recommend picking up one of the loopwheel pieces, as I feel like the quality of the fabric justifies the price increase over the normal collection.
