I'm sending a few codes to those who didn't receive them, when this goes live. If you guys want to message me please try to use the message / mail function and not the chat...I don't know if this works for some of you but it's really bad on my iPhone and even my browser. Thanks! I do have a few more if anyone needs them.

They are somewhat lighter...even as someone who has been with the brand since the very beginning, this is hard for me to compare, I don't have an original pair on me. Impressive your question is a pair from ~2014 compared to '21. Coast in Cast 2 is definitely the closest of what we sell to your OG though.

thank you! will give them a try then.

OG coasts were my first JE purchase. i remember coming out of residency and getting my first "real" paycheck and deciding to splurge. rest is history.

I also have a pair of original cast 1 coasts that are too straight fit for me (took me long enough to get used to cast 2 fit and I’m not going back lol) if anyone is interested still have tags and everything

Can someone with the Coast 2 and Vintage Springs comment on the differences in wash/fit? I love my Coasts and contemplating copping the Vintage Springs

Springs are "dirty". They were the first cast 2 I owned and I took them to get dry cleaned and they removed the "dirt" and basically became coast 2s so I chopped them into jorts.

The dirt/distressing wasn't baked in? I wash my Cast 2s so this could also happen to me

How's the sizing on the Iodine's? Should I go with my usual Cast 2 size?
Go with your usual Cast 2 size. Much like any of the Cast 2 that are from an indigo base it’ll fit tighter initially. You don’t feel the 2% stretch like the other Cast 2’s. They’ll still stretch out in the waist eventually though so still account for that.

If you dry clean them just specify that they are supposed to be rusty so they dont remove what makes them unique. That was a costly mistake on my part.
