I'm not sure if you've seen any of their other versions of obsidian, it's a very dark black/blue. I'm not sure if the denim in the look book is obsidian or black. They've had 2 iterations of the obsidian previously so I just assumed it was a new obsidian

I own Cast 2 Obsidian and they're definitely not black. They're indigo dye over grey weft. The denim in the SS17 lookbook & runway lookbook are much dark than past Obsidians so I'm assuming they're straight black but you could be right. We all kno how lookbook & product photos aren't accurate as far as color goes kind of often.

So if I'm normally a 32 waist, I should size down to 31?

Also, do the majority of JE denim owners get their denims altered (i.e. inseams and leg openings), or do they look best stock. I know it's a very broad question.

I would size down. I'm usually a 33 and I got a size 32 in Nero (new cut). Initially trying them on, they felt tight, but they have stretched out enough to be super comfortable, but still skinny. I guess I got lucky in that I haven't had to alter, hem, or taper them.

i went true to size (32) and the waist is maybe a tad too big but sizing down was just way too tight and the waist is nothing a good tailor cant fix.

I also went TTS with a 32 as I have larger thighs and calves. The waist and thigh area stretched enough to be comfortably loose, I like to wear my denim a little bit lower on my hips anyway.

Thanks for your feedbacks! Very interesting variations for different people. What are your height/weight? It'd be awesome if you could post some pics for a visual reference

Couldn't stop wearing Plumas. Now I won't be able to stop wearing these.

They look so good man, can't wait for mine to arrive. Thanks for the pics.

they look great right now but the springs stretch like crazy, size down again would be my advice. i learned the hard way and now I size way down to the point where i almost cant button the top, and then let them stretch to the absolute limit and they fit perfect.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will size down one more.

Finally a little warmer weather here in Europe. Time to put parachute jacket on for the first time. I really like it. Still can't replace all the bombers I own, but it is something different.

Is the lightest part of the coba lighter than the lightest part of springs?

I'll post a comparison pic when my Coba's arrive if someone doesn't before then.
