Anyone have the John Elliott x Blackmeans statdium jacket?

I'm looking at the measurements and wondering why it's so much larger than the regular John Elliott stadium jackets. Not really sure how to size on it.

For example M on Blackmeans is 19" shoulders.

M on regular is 17.8".

I have the BM x JE stadium. I sized up, personally. The M was a tad too short. I’m 5’11 and 160lbs for reference.

I agree and think it really just boils down to consumer demand. Most Stans will pay $400-$500 on some JE denim because of the wash, repairs, distressing, etc. but when washes start to only slightly vary...the demand or "willingness to pay at that given price point" starts to drop because they have something so similar.

This is where I've been at for the past season. There are denim I want but not willing to pay full retail because I have something similar that already fills that roll. The Kelso and especially the Sahara I was considering if the price were right but they're pushing close to $500 when I already have nimbus, plumas, and coast 2. I'm at the point where if it's not a site exclusive I'll risk waiting till it goes on sale at a retailer.

Does anyone have last years blackmeans riders? How does it compare to this years? I just got mine in and it feels like a suit of armor. I’ve never owned a riders jacket so I can’t compare it to any except the SLP ones I tried on and they were thick and stiff too. I know they’re supposed to soften up with use but I didn’t know how much to expect.

@victoorious might be able to chime in, he has both

Bingo. These are my thoughts exactly, the more you fill your wardrobe with JE the less your willing to pay full price because your previous purchases are already so solid. So it really has to be a great deal/price drop or something really dope to squeeze a full retail buy.

Just got the Cast 2 / Silent in. Not 100% sure if I’ll be keeping them, but I like the color (much lighter than Onyx). These fit very slim, so no need to size down.

Man all this new stock sitting. Weird to see JE not sell out, especially the denim.

I know. I actually have liked a lot of stuff that has dropped this season but the pricing hasn't really been good enough for me to spring for anything that I don't "need". Seems like others are doing the same. This is going to be one hell of a sale season. I've actually been putting money aside for it. I'm sure most of the line will hit 25% to 50% off and like Warren Buffett in a recession, I will be there waiting with my cash hoard to pick up the things I want at good prices.

Wow, I actually like that color more than I expected. I just wish that hole wasn't there! I am down with a little distressing I just like it to be more minimal and realistic.

I’m on the same page. I’m already anticipating all the questions of “what’s on your leg?” Perhaps just not my style

I would have grabbed those for sure if the distressing wasn’t there. Or even if it was high up which would be covered by a t shirt anyway.

The patch on these is sick af! Subtle but effective! (Edit: lol looks like I’m the only one) Are these really THAT grey though?

50%?

Just remove the patch stiching and open the hole. I think it will look better without the stitching.

I assume you went with your normal size? I did and couldn’t even button the waist.

I actually did take some pics for comparison between my other Cast 2 in the same size. Let's just say...nah let's don't. They were tight.
