What's your guys opinion of the paneled flight jacket? Im very close to ordering it in pitch black but was hoping for some feedback first.

Looks like SSENSE removed the black flash dual zip and the black escos from their sale. I wonder if JE disallowed it since they're part of the mainline or whatever

Ssense has done that type of ish for years. So many times I saw some kicks or something I really wanted, I noticed the next day they took it off sale.

It is definitely a nice piece. I had the opportunity to try it on at Roden Gray, and it has a great fit and sleek look. I ultimately went with the Bogota due to the warmth and water resistance, but the material on the paneled flight jacket is insanely comfortable, and more lightweight/less warm.

Any sites that have CPs on sale ? lmk plz.

What's your guys opinion of the Raw Edge Raglan Hoodie? I'm considering getting the Alpine or Oak. I already ordered a Black Kake earlier this week.

Thanks!

JE can do no wrong with hoodies. Grab it. It's probably the most comfortable hoodie JE has released, was overpriced at $228 compared to the other hoodies, but the sale price is good.
JE screwed me so big in the past week with Season 8 purchases

That's a big statement. I'm actually considering picking up the maroon now. What is it that makes it better? Does the material feel different than the Villain, Kake, etc., or is it just the fit? Any pics? Can I ask more questions? Who knows.

Maybe I should use the word versatile. I love my Villains, don't get me wrong, I just feel like this is a perfect everyday hoodie fit and style-wise. The material seems seems thicker than their other hoodies to me. I know Mike has stated their hoodie fabrics are the same weight (besides Gauze) but this feels like the most substantial and robust terry to me. It seems more "rigid" than the Villain terry which feels softer to me. The fit is relaxed but not really oversized, fits very true to size. Layering it with anti expos looks great too.

Hey guys was wondering if I could get a fit opinion. I just picked up the Escobar and Villain during the Black Friday sale. Here is a picture of me trying on the clothes. I am 5'11 and 160lbs, my normal hoodie/shirt size is medium and my jean size is 32 waist and 30 length.

In the picture below I am wearing a medium Villain, which I found to be a little on the tight size and medium Escobar. I ended up sizing up on the Villain and sticking with the medium Escobar. Do you think I made the right choice? Should I have sized up on the Escobar as well?

keep the medium, don't size up to a large they are going to stretch. I even have a couple pairs of Escos in medium and I'm bigger than you. A few of my escos in large have stretched to the point where I sort of wish I had got a medium in all of them but at the end of the day it's not too significant and I like having options. They don't look too tight if that's what you are thinking, and all JE terry stretches after some wear.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a pair of CP tans I purchased yesterday for a great price. I'll see how they are first

From Ssense?

They did this literally hours after they put the black Flash up. I took a screenshot and emailed them asking for the sale price after it was showing as $200 when I added to cart, and they said that it's only the sale price for Japan... wat.

I cant seem to find the bogota in black sz medium anywhere. The pricepoint is a little more manageable than the paneled flight jacket. If anyone spots one in a medium it would be much appreciated.

You missed out on it man, the very last one on the face of the earth was on Grailed last week

@theonepantless i think those fit good and they will stretch as others have mentioned. People need to realize that yes the models provide reference but the products they are trying on haven't fully taken form or account for stretch with wear.

I've tried medium and small escos. Medium were perfect off the bat but of course stretched to become way too big and baggy. Small were super tight but after about 10 wears they now fit how the mediums started and are perfect. Everyone's body is different and preference on how you like your clothes to fit. Best to try both and see which you prefer

lmfao. there should be a meme made out and sent to the JE community.
