really? I don't think so. Don't see the asymmetrical panel in the front view.

it also appears if the back is slightly lower than the front like an expo but not as extreme.

I was thinking its a reg washed black classic crew

Actually man, I think you're right? I'm looking at the washed olive HZ and the alpine mercer HZ side by side and it definitely looks to me like they made some design changes to the neck/zip and the side slits.

Then again could just be getting fooled by the photos but I somehow doubt it... they do look different to me. Maybe JE can confirm @Johnelliott

Not a slate paneled pocket tee. It is a washed black tee, kind of looks like an expo tee. Might be a classic crew as well. Then again, the washed olive tee on the washed olive mercer HZ photos definitely looks like an expo tee, so maybe they are unreleased tees. I thought JE was killing off the expo though

Crappy pic but I figured I'd post it. Alpine half zip mercer is FIRE. The alpine color is pretty epic and is very different from the co mix alpine. This is M my usual size (I'll probably stick to M for other half zips also) but people may want to consider sizing down on these, bc I thought the sleeves were pretty baggy. Pretty much the best sweatshirt JE has released

This is ur usual size in villains, kake, and flash dual? From the measurements it looks like they're quite a bit bigger and as u said size down possibly?

I sized down in my mercer half zip and it fits solid. I'm a little disappointed only two colours dropped today. Hopefully more on the way...

Yup, I wear a M in all things JE..it depends on how you like/want it to fit. I haven't tried on a size Small in the mercer sweatshirt so I'm not sure how it would look on me, may size down to cop a feel for which size would be best for me . It is on the more oversized end like the Kake and OS sweatshirts.

I probably will size down on the dark navy and see how that fits so I know what size to get for future colors..but yea the drop today kinda was disappointing. The dark navy looks sweet though with the all white.

JE definitely ups the contrast on their site photos, plus the items pop off the stark white background. Rarely does something you receive look exactly like the product shots.

Having said that, received the Plumas today and they're pretty awesome. Yes, they are similar to the Springs, and I wouldn't have minded them being a little darker, but the fades and contrasts are pretty stellar.

Also, they fit about one size smaller in the waist than my Springs in the same size, which is a pleasant surprise. Skinnier through the leg and ankle as well:





Next to Springs in natural light:

Plumas look awesome in natural light. They look nothing like the springs in my opinion. Sizing has me worried though if they fit one size smaller than the springs. I sized one down from my spring size since they stretched out a good inch in the waist.

Thank you for the pictures.

I agree with @seraphm2, they don't look like the Springs to me. But they do look amazing. Can't wait for my pair.
