Ha exactly my thoughts exactly. I'm excited to see some of the new jackets in person as well.

Also, they were vague about the tease regarding denim. Was it just the Kane they were getting in? Wouldn't confirm if they are getting Cast 2... Guess I'll find out on Saturday lol

tempted to cold water wash my obsidians while they are fresh to solidify the black like @hermesonly pair. Don't really want them fading when i have carbons and onyx already

I think @hermesonly is proof that you guys need to just wash your pants. The whole not washing for weeks stuff is gross. Clothes age - it's not a bad thing and most well made clothes look better over time.

My D02's that I used to wear religiously have the white thread showing as well and it doesn't look bad at all

Sure I'll try to get a good picture showing it.

Also wanted to say those pigtail cardigans look amazing @srizvi722 . Really bummed there was no black this season so I'll just have to live vicariously through your pics for now

Gm any sizing advice for chinos shud I take my cast 2 size or size dwn ... is it cropped slim fitting ? Or oversized like Kane's????

It does look a little baggy on you. I decided to stick to a small to avoid that and it worked out. I’m 5’10” 145 for context.

Damn I’m 2 inches shorter and around the same weight and i got a medium. I thought it was a good fit for me but the small looks perfect on you. I turned mine in so they can fix the cuff on my sleeve so I have to see how they fit me again.

If these chinos have stretch I’m gonna be hyped. Hoping they do.

Finally had some time to open up some packages I’ve recieved lately. Been pretty busy with work.

First things first...the black/grey brushed flannel. It’s money, super soft like the red flannel, but fits tts whereas my red brushed flannel ran small. Only thing I dislike is the placement of the last button, which is similar to all the other JE shirts, it’s too high so the shirt kind of opens up at the bottom almost as if it’s too small. This is a small. I ordered a medium and it was the same as well.

TL;DR: brushed flannel: It’s dope, ‘nuff said. Buy it!

On to the next one...krete blouson. My wife destroyed me on this one, her description not mine, “great an acid wash, girls jacket for $400...that’s going back!” She later apologized for being cruel. Anyway, I personally love the color and was hoping to love the jacket. The jacket is thinner than I expected, more like a Levi’s trucker. Maybe I’m used to really heavy raw denim jackets? I think the jacket would be perfect if it was a little longer. It hits just below the belt line which usually I love, maybe it’s the OS nature of the jacket that makes it look off to me, or my wife’s insults. The damn leather Pull tag kept falling off, similar problem to my rider jacket. The lack of pockets also was kind of strange to me. If my wife didn’t interject I’d probabky have held on to this one and prob would have sat in my closet...so prob better I got her opinion. If it hits sale szn I’ll def cop.

Description of pics: First is with the black raglan crew (prob should have picked a diff color) but the raglan is cropped on me and this is even more so.
3rd pic: with the flannel to show the length of the jacket
4th pic: with a (crinkled) white shirt tucked in to show where the jacket hits the waist.

TL;DR: blouson: if it had pockets & was an inch longer it’d be a keeper.

Update on the cast 2 obsidian : after a few wears they’ve stretched out a decent amount, got that diaper ass now. Really wish I would have picked up a 28. Here’s too hoping there’s an end of season restock or some retailer picks up a 28.

shadow looks rad. going to get one now.

did your obsids start fading already as well? if more people's do, then i'm definitely going to throw mine in a cold wash to settle the dye.

Haven’t faded yet. You may want to look into a vinegar soak, it helps keep indigo denim dark, may want to consider it

Wanted the fleece today. But no thank you at that price. Money saved.
