WTF. This just showed up from UPS.

My oversized hoodie. Didn't even know if was shipped. Got no tracking number or anything. If I log into my account. It says order is still "unfulfilled".

Whatever, I'll take it! Gotta try it on now.

Missed out on the Pigtail while on my Honeymoon, so now I have to wait for them to hit the stock list

Forgot to mention. Booty goons.

Tried on my oversized hoodie and I got the right size!

Large fits perfect, it's not slim like the villain hoodie. I had to get an XL on that one.

The size guide on each piece of item actually worked. Lol.

There's some cast jeans on Grailed for a good price. I usually wear a 32. But I don't know how they fit, or if I should size up to a 34 if it's too slim?

Can someone tell me the fit, I read it's slim not skinny jean. But I am unsure of the fit.

 

[drisk34]

depends on if they're the new cut or not. I sized down 1 on cast 1, tried it on cast 2 and they were way too tight, my tts was already sold out then. it seemed like people said for the new cut to go with your tts. definitely dont size up, all pairs stretch a decent amount.

[drisk34]

i mean, my coasts have 100% stretched out over time.

I'll message the seller what kind of denim they are.

Hellweek hoodie drop tomorrow.

Picked up my 2nd black pigtail and the dune pigtail from the PO today. Dune, paired with white denim and tan chelseas will look great for the summer. Grabbed the anti-expo tee in pink and white or whatever they call it. Overpriced, but the raw hems are perfect for layering so whatever. The new denim with the rips is really nice in person. Debate the price all you want--they're a solid pair of spring/summer denim.

hows the black look in person? not sure if it will just look too plain as opposed to other colors where you can really see the whole fabric look

^ The texture is incredible. Great piece worn on its own or layered under a teddy/bomber.

this hellweek hoodie looks nice, I would have liked to have seen a fit pic. Id love a slim cut hoodie without the side zips, but im going to try and pass.

 

[salacious crumb]

The seller said it's the original cast denim and told me it's slim fit but not skinny. Lol.

But still doesn't help me much. Anyone who has can tell me the fit a little better?

 

[maliz]

If its the Cast 1 fit, then pass on em and get the newer fit or some Acnes.

Hard to tell you much without knowing the actual wash. JE made 3 different fits over the years with a few washes overlapping. Link em or pm me the link.

 

[sogood]

If it's the Coasts and they're going for cheap enough I'd still buy them, that wash is easily one of JE's best. I have a pair and with a little tailoring they fit great.

Otherwise none of the original Cast washes are really worth getting altered, IMO.

I'll do that. Thanks.

Do you guys know any other brands that sell something real similar to the Pigtail Mercer (the gray specifically)? And when I mean other brands I mean much cheaper brands 

Love John Elliott and have a Villain and Rue, but I got those on heavy discount. I can't pay $188 for a sweater. But I love what this brand puts out.  

Thanks

Raschel shorts are dope, a very nice breathable summer short and will get plenty of mileage this season.

@Jab Step  not sure if there are many designers (or Zara-esque copy cats) that would combine the split hem/drop shoulder fit, colors, and pigtail-like materials to get a shirt made like the pigtail at an affordable price point, it's that unique in my opinion. Some pieces, as long as they get plenty of wears and don't sit in your closet, are worth the splurge.

I saw someone mention that the current pigtails fit smaller/slimmer than last year's. Is that the. Case for you too? Trying to figure out the best size.

 

[salacious crumb]

I've worn my oversized cropped hoodie (saguaro) everyday since I got it. Real nice and comfy piece.

Hoping to get more, don't like the current colors that they have available. Don't need anymore black hoodies and don't want the natural or pink. Lol.

Grey would be nice. Or I can grab the grey in the flash dual zip for 10% off from revolve. I think the new member code is valid for 1 month from when you sign up.

Pigtail in the summer? Isn't it long sleeve and a sweater type shirt?

 Don't convince me man. Thanks for the reply though. Do any stores have the pigtail mercer? I would want to check it out in person and that would probably make me make the jump.
