This. Unlike SLP (which has absurdly long inseams), I find JE stacks very well.

So after live chatting with a CS rep on Mr. Porter's site, they were able to waive the shipping charge (previously just sent an email because live chat wasn't available). Have to love their customer service

niceee glad it worked out!

Awesome! Still on the fence because of the conversion rate, but I might bite the bullet if they can waive the shipping fees. Anyone know if I can get Plumas from a CAD store?

Also regarding the sweapants, any preferred fits? Really like the look of the Escobars, but the 'oversized' sweatpants seem pretty nice as well.

I think you need to take into consideration the pair you're buying. If you get the Odeon, if you hem them you may lose some of the color transition at the bottom (blue to black).if you get neros you'll be alright. Some of the JE denim also have stacks "baked" in, so altering the length could get rid of that, which isn't a huge deal IMO. Even if you don't get them shortened, I think you may still want to consider getting the leg opening of the hem altered. As your waist increases so does the leg opening. Stacks look better with smaller diameter openings, otherwise they don't stack well and just look sloppy

Royal blue kake dropping tomorrow.

I honestly don't really understand what JE is going for with this nasty royal blue stuff.... does anyone here actually like the color?

 

[MilesMW]

It's a seasonal color for "watching water" so seems pretty understandable to me.

 

[mcnicol21]

I really like the royal blue kake .. just don't need another hoodie so I'll be passing

 

[Mackp12]

Royal blue isn't bad but is an easy pass. Trying to be picky this year

 

[leFLOPjames]

It looks better on the kake than the villain but still a pass. Jade was a lot nicer and the kake in that would be fire. Royal blue is basically a less appealing version of midnight in my eyes.

Wonder when other colors will be releasing. I'm curious to know how the pink will look on terry (if it will be released in that color)

I own a Kito, an Alma (similar fit to Escobar) and several Escobar sweatpants and I prefer the Escobar fit.

I liked the royal blue in JE pics, then someone posted a fit pic of it and changed my mind.
