For JE white denim, have y’all ever washed separately cold and noticed post wash that there are white splotches (similar to Cast II White Cow Alta) that seem to be noticeable in day light? I washed without detergent, delicate cold and have noticed this with every iteration of white JE denim I’ve owned, and have tried different washing machines.

I would advise you to get your jeans dry Cleaned. I get all my Je jeans dry cleaned and i have had zero issues. If you can spend 300 plus on jeans, you can spend 5 bucks to get them dry cleaned.

For the basalt t sizing, how much should I size down? I wear a medium in the anti expo.
Size down 1 or 2 sizes depending on the fit you’re are looking for. I’m an xl and went with a medium. TTS was very unflattering.

Just look at the measurements on the site and compare to a T-shirt you like the fit of.

I'm an XL in everything, and went TTS with an XL in Basalt. Unless you're short or super skinny, I wouldn't size down. With the weight of the material, it looks like a stiff baby tee sized down too much. I tried M, L, and XL and XL was the clear winner if you have broader shoulders (in a 3D kinda way).

JE Intended fit is not always the best route... with that said, the JE site recommends sizing down on Basalt tees anyway lol

Would you believe I’m still waiting for my replacement Obsidian Thumper? I’m actually really annoyed now that I think about it.
