Fast + Eat Boiled Chicken, plain rice and greens all week and you’ll look bigger in your fit pics.
No doubt. Sound like a true meat head diet. That use to be me many moons ago lol. I will take a pic in my other mirror. Might see some difference. Keep up the good work!

@jclark216 Can you tell there is that 1% Poly in the Reconstructed tee? Does it feel or drape any differently than 100% cotton?
Now this explains why it fits slightly different. It still has the drape as a Folsom, but you can tell the difference if you have both the Folsom and The Reconstructed. Someone who has both can correct me if I’m wrong but the recontructed seems slightly and I mean SLIGHTLY heavier with more rigid feel.

Thats interesting. I would think the Poly would make it a bit softer or more flowy? Maybe the cotton used is slightly tougher on it compared to the lightweight stuff used on the Folsom.

In my opinion, it just looks like a sloppier version of the Foggy 1; the sleeves look too long and wide. I may be biased though because I love my Foggy 1 and wear it all the time when weather permits.

Yeah man the Foggy's are amazing. Had both colors. Had to sell them. Sleeves were just SO long on me.

how's it feel? since there's no cashmere blend, is the wool itchy at all?
I'm wearing it now without a tee underneath and it's nice. Not itchy. But it's almost sheer, like you can see my pants line through it. You can see how thin it on the Ssense models. Def need to find the perfect tee to layer underneath.

The cut looks good. Nice color. But, what’s up with the sleeves? They’re so long… what are your thoughts on that?
Yes. Its def not my preference. Must be intentional, as the sleeves appear that way on all models. The Vetements silhouette: cropped with long sleeves. I think I'm gonna cut the tag and commit. Having a hard time deciding it's really gonna get enough wear to justify $500.
