Really interested to see fit pics on the polartec pieces, I think they'd be great for layering for some early Canadian winter action.

On that note I really want to grab some more anti-expos, but I moved to Toronto and can't run across the border anymore to grab stuff :angry: Do my other Canadian fellas just order from Ssense and the like? I guess I could check out Nomad too

Got the throw in, it’s tiny for a throw. You can’t really use it as a blanket. It’s a little shorter than the size of a standard bath towel. Can’t even really throw it around your shoulders and looks tiny on the back of my couch. If they do this again they need to make it huge. Oh well.

Probably for the best - to a person that doesn't know JE, it just looks like factory defects/seconds from Home Goods.

I like the idea of the throws, but the execution is lacking.

I’d really love to see throws more in the mold of the beach towels from last season, definitely would’ve bought the white/blue one if it was a true blanket instead.

Throws need to be more like Schneider stuff from Rugs to Riches and less like Off White x Ikea hand towels.

I’m a big fan of the Polartec but I couldn’t justify that price on top of the chinos. If I can find one come sale season or on Grailed I’ll grab one though, great piece for FW in New England.

JE quality for technical pieces has never been there. confused why people think these fleece will hold-up in NE winter.
For the most part you’re right, only reason I trust this one somewhat more is it’s an actual third party fleece brand which I know is quality. Construction-wise, only time will tell. I know the Bolivia didn’t hold up.

But considering you can get an Arcteryx down jacket for less than this.. makes it hard to justify
