What do people think of the fit of the L bomber bogata. Its my first JE piece.

http://imgur.com/a/2VaCz .

Im 5'9, 44/45" chest. So wide upper torso and not that tall which means a lot of off the rack clothing doesnt fit always that great/intended. I couldn't layer underneath with a thick piece but I don't really intend to as I tend to avoid quilted/padded outerwear as they personally dont seem to sit right on the build I have (Any other 'athletic' builds feel the same?)

I'm happy with how it fits tbh, the sizing for Large in JE is generous (for us europeans), and I saw the XL bogota the measurements increase significantly. Wondering peoples opinions on L or XL?
severely underwhelming but i suppose for the new JE oversized aesthetic it's good

I do! Love my slate one

Does it fit as big as people say?

I've got a medium raw edge hoodie that fits perfect size wise, but the medium Mercer half zip looks much bigger size wise, even the size small Mercer looks to be bigger than the medium raw edge.

Any advice on sizing? I'm about 5'10 140, I'm thinking I probably need a small


I'm a true medium in most JE (villain, dual flash, tees) and i went down to a small. I tried on both and medium was way too baggy/flowy. Small is slightly oversized and fits perfect. 5'6 145lbs so i would say small for both of you

I guess they changed direction a bit. Im happy as Im not personally fan of their ultra tight hoodies, if you want something tailored its best left for bespoke...
@ASpec818 I guess bombers are not exactly meant to be enhancing a v taper. Its kind of either round , or even more oversized and padding adds to that

Just grabbed the black Mercer Half Zip for $170 shipped. PM if you want the site

EDIT: Also have some other items: tees, flash dual zip, villains. Only mentioned the half zip because that's what I was looking for

Throwback to the oversized crew in clay (M) that I bought when it first came out. I didn't realize how oversized it was until I got it. Finally decided to shrink it a bit in the dryer and it's a perfect fit now. Layered with a mercer underneath. Not a fall outfit but it's warm and sunny in Toronto!


what chelseas are those?
