It’s a world of a difference from the big tee, better fit with less baggy and slightly shorter sleeves, plus the looser neck. I don’t really know what tee to compare it to, it’s more cropped than the OG Anti Expo. Right now it’s the “perfect everyday tee” for me, I love the heavier weight though I wouldn’t mind a thinner version specifically for summer with the same cut.

How did you size for the Rugby Tee? TTs or down 1?

I actually went down 2 (from M to XS) and it’s perfect, but I’d say most people will want to go down 1 for the intended fit. I just wanted mine a little less OS.

Appreciate it dude, I think going down 1 will be the best bet for me. Hopefully we get some good colors

I think the rugby and big tee are about the same minus the neck. I’ll post pics when I get a chance. Both of mine are xs. I like the basalt big tees over my rugby.

Edit

It’s basically the same tee minus the neck. The sleeves are the same length

Something about the tight neck hole combined with the loose oversized body of the Big Tee just reminds me of wearing a rain poncho.. truly terrible IMO. But everyone has their preferences and I’m not one for mock necks on any kind of product. It’s gonna depend on your build if you can pull off a wide neck or U-neck of any kind but it feels so much more comfortable to me.

I think it depends on your shoulders and neck. My neck is fairly narrow so the neck hole isn’t too tight. The rugby on the other hand is all over the place with any kind of movement. I wouldn’t mind it in a tank though.

In JE’s latest Instagram post, he confirmed socks are coming soon! I wonder if it’s an Anonymous ism collab, or only JE. Either way I will be copping.

That sail jacket is a piece I’ve been eyeing for awhile now. I’m sure it’s going to be over 500. Like the previous sail pullover.

So I have been downsizing/getting rid of a lot of my old clothes trying to focus more on quality over quantity. Ive been reading about minimalism and I'm trying to minimize shopping/only buy something if I sell something else....and now I have a lot of JE!

I love looser necks in general...cant do fitted necks
