Wouldn’t surprise me if the color was different. Ssense has a black zipper vs the chrome on je.com. Other items have had subtle differences as well.

The chrome zipper made the wheat color way. It’s weird I don’t see the wheat 1/2 zip on JE anymore. A lot of times they use prototypes for the shoots, so I wonder if they made a change to the zips? Did anyone pick it up?

The chrome zipper made the wheat pop and wheat definitely has a chrome zip in the store. The color was softer than I anticipated. Fairly accurate to the website. Who knows if a black zip was used for a batch of more saturated wheat, or a prototype. I find it odd.

Sorry I meant protos on the JE photo shoots. SSENSE pics are reflective of the stock they have in hand

so you saw it at the JE store and it had chrome zips? What did you think of it in person?

Not to start a big thing about pricing again, but $1298 for that jacket is absolutely absurd. I was prepared to spend around $800-$1000 on it, not almost the cost of a leather piece.

yeh agreed 1300 for something that's 100% cotton is a no go for me

But it is made in China.

The country of origin never really matters to me, manufacturers in China have some of the better machines than places like the US or other countries.

I gotcha. I should have clarified prototype zippers through ssense and je.com could be interchangeable. Were the black or the chrome zips prototype? The black anorak at ssense was different than je.com and most likely a smaller batch was sent to them. If any, I’d imagine the different black anorak was a prototype. It doesn’t appear that the wheat 1/2 zip is anywhere else.

100% had chrome zips in store. Didn’t spend much time with it, nor try it on. I didn’t want to impulsively cop another sweatshirt, but I liked it. Substantial weight to it. From what I could tell, it seems as if the 53% nylon is the faux fur. It’s easy to feel, but not too visibly noticeable. Somewhat of a more sparse, shorter, and softer feel than the bristles on soft baby / pet brush.

Thats what I’m saying, made in China is a perk now. Its adding to the $1300. At least its not Bangladesh!

So confused... yeah I’m guessing they just used black zips on the batch for SSENSE. But I wasn’t sure if their were black zips on the ones at the JE store that you saw or the ones from JE.com that were sent out.

anyway, what is this black anorak you speak of?

I’m referring to the difference in the sleeve. While not a huge difference, it’s a difference. My gut feeling is ssense’s anorak was either a prototype w even less supply, or a mistake in manufacturing. Either way, I haven’t seen the cut sleeve version on je.com, nor in store. The cut sleeves were only at ssense and Ron Herman. Based on the overall limited supply of anoraks, I don’t find it to be coincidental.

I’m ok with the OG... look [mom] no insecure pose

^ edit: that is a very small difference you are pointing out on ssense for the anorak. There have been different production runs so might be due to leather availability there. In general we wouldn’t do a different run specifically for different stores unless it’s actually an exclusive.

Also, the fur terry half zip on our site was shot with an earlier sample with silver, it did end up with the black zipper, was our mistake but it sold out so was taken down naturally. You sure you saw that in store?
