Can you post some on wear pictures of the bomber jacket?




With JE black crew and JE Silk Grey crew neck

I know the bomber is very pricey, and when I got it in its original package, I was a bit nervous because it was so thin. But after wearing it. I really like it a lot.

So to each their own on how they feel about this bomber.

** I should try to pair it with the graphite jeans next on my bed haha **

is the difference between L and XL Escobars pretty big? I feel like I'd be between a L and a XL according to their waist measurements (my true waist is a 34 but my thighs are a bit big, for ref. I wear a 32 APC Petit New Standard). What do you guys think... thanks!

Lol at the stans in this thread who believe that JE makes the price as low as they can

JE sets the price as high as the market will tolerate. In fact the high price is part of the appeal of perceived quality and exclusivity.
The market is of course consisted of fuccbois such as yourselves
Loopwheel and riri zips and other such gimmicks are there to justify them selling $300 sweatpants

I can guarantee their margins are enormous
Even the third party stores almost certainly have at least a 100% markup, and given JE sells direct at the same price you can at least double if not triple or quadruple that for them

Why would you expect any business to leave profits on the table? Are they motivated simply by making people swagged out rather than by money?

Is getting loopwheel sweats worth it compared to the normal ones?
@zach717 Own the loopwheel flash zip and it is definitely much softer and comfortable compare to the regular flash zip
If you have the money, I would definitely pick up a piece to have in the rotation.

Finally. Someone who sees it the way I do. John Elliott + Co is a business at the end of the day. They're not they're just to help us look good and feel good. Of course they love fashion and style, but folks in this thread believe in a delusion. Many even THANK John Elliott + Co, e.g. "Thank you so much for the sweatshirt, JE! It wasn't really a gift because I had to pay for it, but still! Thank you for the gift that I had to pay for, JE!"

Does anyone else think the Rue hoodies just look stupid?
@Distorbiant Agreed with you and passed on Delivery 1
Zipper placement like a surgeon cut to your stomach and didn't like the rounded bottom. Looks like an kitchen apron to me.
Everyone has their own fashion so buy what you like
