I’ve only hemmed one pair of JE denim (the skittles), I have hemmed quite a few pairs of SLP. Usually get them hemmed to about 33 inch inseam. I’m 5’10 with disportionately long legs. I’ve never had the leg opening narrowed, most of the pairs are pretty small in a size 29, so have never felt the need to.

really helpful, thanks man. I'm 5'8-5'9 with pretty short legs, so I was going to have hemmed to a 30 or 31 length. I'm usually a 30 waist so I was going to order 29 in JE as well, and good to know I wont have to have the leg opening altered at all to hem.

Thanks so much

I’d go to your tailor and bring the shoes you’ll likely wear them with. Have the tailor pin the pants to the appropriate length with your shoes on. I wouldn’t ask for a certain length like 31 because it’s really dependent on the inseam + the rise. Also prob better to wear the pants a few days and allow the back honeycombs to set, because this will shorten them a bit and then get them hemmed

Awesome! Did you size down?

plotting on the ocean pair did not try them on

I think that’s xhibition. He works there. Could be wrong though! They look so good. JEs pics didn’t do justice

yup new shipment ... each pair is unique but the colors

Those colours...beautiful

exactly!

Anyone know where I can get the ocean shorts in a small? Sold out on JE.

xhibition has them in a small should be online soon if you don't want to wait you can place a private sale with me just send me a PM

I'm 5'9 and don't like the inseam length of JE denim, does anyone here have experience with hemming JE denim they don't mind sharing?
Thx..

Thanks man. Hey guys, any info you could share on your height and what you hemmed to/leg opening etc?

Hi.. I'm 5'4". I hemmed all my JE denims.

Step 1..Upon receiving my denim, I checked the fit overall. Once satisfied with the fit, I stack them nicely according to my height and specifications, then that's the time when I "pin" where to hem it. Then, I'll take it to my local alteration place.

Most of the time, I wash and dry my JE's so if there are any shrinkage it wouldn't mess up my hem, them I'll do step 1.

On Skittles, I do the Opposite and I personally do them myself. I do Step 1 first.. but leave a little bit more at the ends before I hem it.
Then, I wash and dry which leaves the hem of Skittles more frayed, naturally. I go above and beyond by using my Dremel Tools, which I distress the ends of my skittles for a more natural look and with my sewing skills (on my sewing machine), I reinforced the end of the hem by going thru it so it wont fray some more.. Trim the ends to make a uniform even look.

Great, that was very helpful. I may have to do the wash and dry before having hemmed as well then. Good to know im not the only one who wants to do this! Thanks guys.

I wouldn’t know man! That would be dope. Have a link?

There’s this one

https://www.aimeleondore.com/collec...man-knit-sweater-cream?variant=12411032010849

But I think this one from a previous season was better

Agreed though, JE is great at taking traditional items/fabrics and giving it a streetwear aesthetic

Does anyone have a screen shot from a few days ago when the Carbons were $166 on Mr. Porter? the original link just goes to the page saying they are out of stock but doesnt list the price... Tia

I actually need that also for a price protection. Let me know if you have it.

ALD has some awesome stuff. too bad their return policy is the worst. it's basically JE but more "street" if that makes sense.
