Copped a black hoodie and olive tee... Just as planned. I was a bit thrown off by the on body shots of the olive mercer tho, seemed a bit more saturated than the product shot and hoodie. Hopefully it's on the paler side in person like in the lookbook pics. 

So... do you guys all plan to wash before wear?

That's a tough call. I usually dry clean my JE garments. I always have bad experiences with machine washing clothes.

Guys -

If it shows on the website that it's still available (black and clickable) to add into cart - then it is still in stock. I suggest to keep trying to buy until it goes through. This is how the new e-carts work nowadays.

Is there a reason you wash before? Just asking as a serious question, not making fun. I normally wear my stuff as is

I would recommend washing "washed" garments before you first wear them.
A couple of tees I had faded real quick when I didn't. Personally I'm not into washed pieces anymore, I don't like the look after too many wears and washes; gets really distorted IMO.
Would have loved to see the hoodie in their non-washed colors.

Oh haha neither do I... just cause they put this on the product page:

LIVING COLOR TREATMENT METHOD + CARE

THIS TEE HAS BEEN DYED WITH A LIVING COLOR TREATMENT METHOD DESIGNED TO EVOLVE, FADE AND CHANGE SPECIFIC TO HOW THEY ARE WORN. AS A RESULT, SOME COLOR MAY RUB OFF SLIGHTLY. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU MACHINE WASH COLD, HANG DRY THIS GARMENT PRIOR TO FIRST WEARING. OVER TIME, ANY COLOR TRANSFER WILL REDUCE SIGNIFICANTLY.

Cool... thanks for the advice. Here's another question though, you should I wash them separately from each other / the rest of my clothes? Sorry, I know this isn't a how to do your laundry thread hahaha

No you don't have to wash them separately.
Definitely hang dry as they mention. Even when I put one of my washed tees through "air fluff" I noticed random fades and markings.
Only speaking through my experience. Not sure about JE's washed stuff

We would definitely suggest being careful about washing with like colors on our washed program for SS16. After one wash and hang dry color transfer should not be an issue - but do not mix colors from this collection with other clothes of different color on the first wash.
