You're selling me on the OS sweats

Damn now I wish I copped some OS sweats too. I think because I was indecisive between the Esco, Ebisu and OS sweats, I ended up passing on them all lol. Which do you prefer?

They might as well be my uniform at this point bruh. They go with literally everything. Baggy enough to be comfy, but still slim enough not to look slouchy and make you look like a lazy bum. I love'em.

I have one pair of Escos. I wear them, and like them, but not as much as the raw edge or OS sweats. The OS are hands down my favorites cause the elastic band stays up even better if you like to scrunch them at the bottom like I do. I haven't perosnally tried the Ebisus, but I bought a pair for my wife and she loves them. That bottom isn't for me though.

Can’t remember if i seen It here or not.

Did you guys say size down 1 from my normal Cast 2 on obsidians ? Because of stretch?

Thanks in advance
I'm a 31 waist but take a 29 in Cast 2 because once they stretch out, they're perfect. My Obsidians in 29 have stretched out as per usual, but they're now just a little baggier than my Nero's/Carbon/Onyx, in places I don't like such as the thighs and butt. I'm strongly considering selling these for cheap and copping 28, which is insane to even think about. I've been wearing Cast 2's for 3 years so I know this **** ain't right.

Crazy what literally a few hours can do to the price of something. MrP, Ssense, FWRD, etc. all just erased those sale prices like it never happened lol. JE Cashmere crew, $430 w/free shipping yesterday..$630+shipping today. That's just wild to me

How's sizing on the OS sweats? Take the same size as your escos?

I didn't grab anything from JE this sale season, a first for me.
This year has been great though as I was able to grab what I've always wanted - Classic Rider's (mesh lining), Cast 2 Nimbus, and about to buy the slate parachute jacket.
All at great prices, I'm really thankful I found styleforum and this thread!

YO...FOG sneaks on point. What size u take? Need to get Marcus' wardrobe. lol.

I stayed TTS at sz. 9/42 but I probably could have sized down to a 41 for a more snug fit, however these still feel good. If you wanna tight fit, size down otherwise stay TTS if you like a little more room in ya kicks.

JE, Aime Leon Dore, Rag&Bone and random one offs from FOG, SLP, & Off-White is pretty much my wardrobe in a nutshell bruh lol.

Thanks I’m the same waist as you and usually get a 29 in Cast 2 . Got the obsidians in A 28 and they barely button and are tight as hell around the knees lol. I’ll keep them and wait on the stretching

I got a pair in 28 as well, they are super tight, but I’m guessing they’ll loosen up once I give them a day or two. Been wearing the 29s still and they are loose AF, but I think they’ll work in more casual fits/Work fits
