I picked up the Amber heavy shirt, Amber crew shirt, woodland camo field pant and black heavy fleece relaxed pant. All fit perfect. The material feels very premium.
I've accepted that Essentials is basically a Jerry Lorenzo merch line at this point 😂 I picked up some of the lavender pieces and the color looks great IRL. I also got the amber Homecoming hoodie because it reminded me of Beyonce's Coachella performance 😅
@kaybasquiat thanks bro that means a lot 🙏🏽 I know people work hard and sometimes save up to get these items, so I want to be as transparent as possible for these reviews
You don't sound like a hater at all. I get the frustration with the brand, especially when it comes to the sizing. One drop I need to size down to Medium, another drop a Medium fits me like a dress. I found SSense has the most accurate size chart though compared to Pacsun and even the FOG site, imo.
all great stuff! If i can add, you should try some of the women's cropped items. I'm 5'11' at 210 pounds with a more athletic/bulky build and I bought the lavendar vneck cropped hoodie with the wrestling text on it in a XL and I love it. Playing with proportions as a guy giving me more style inspiration than your normal hoodie and sweats, I find that the "women's" clothing just looks good. Also it makes me think outside the box of what the original intention was for these pieces. I find that anyone who complains (not you) about how Essentials is the same thing over and over again, never gives the new items a try. I've bought the cropped muscle tee (women's), the Cropped hoodie (women's), and the sweater vests and all i've ever gotten were compliments on how I style it.
@ChrisGabeEnd02 I appreciate the suggestion! I never shy away from the women's section but should start incorporating it for my Essentials reviews. Especially the cropped pieces since I am on the shorter side
@@Its_Sheroy yeah I think it would definitely look great! Especially since most of those pieces never actually hit Nordstrom, SSENSE, or PacSun they become a bit more unique in my mind. If you wear high waisted pants and follow the rule of thirds it will definitely make you look taller. Again I’m 5’11” and I swear doing that makes it look like I’m 3 inches taller.
SSense even jacked up the prices for another 10 to 15% this time, comparing to the US pricing. Zip up hoodies were CAD 260 plus tax. I bought 1 anyways. Would have bought 2 if they were cheaper, like below CAD 200. 😂
@DannyGenao-wh5fs I wore a size XS and have an on body in my previous video if you want to see how it fits since we are similar in height. You can probably do XXS is you're 100lbs and want something similar
I'm a big fan of what Essentials is cooking with these drops. Got a couple hoodies and crewnecks. I got black, olive, military, and crimson from the latest drop. Might pick up lavender too looks dope. You think the bonded nylon field pants will be restocked anywhere? Pissed I didn't cop when I had the chance
@AKhan.28 glad you found a collection that you like. Usually essentials isn't known to restock you might have to buy resell or wait for 2nd hand pairs to circulate to get a deal
@jaelonjones3745 if you are looking for a thick sweater for the winter than yes but if you want something you can reuse all year go with the regular hoodie
@shefwbandz you have similar dimensions to the ssense models and they wear Medium. If you like the look on them I'd stick to M but if you want slimmer go Small
L collection tbh. Especially as a european where the collection costs a shit ton of money and is uniqlo/h&m quality with some teen prints on it. Pass Great review/content tho! Very informative
This is how I know Jerry is a terrible businessman. The line is for a "younger audience," but what college freshman has 200$ to spend on a single shirt or hoodie? SMH. You do this to yourself, jerry.

@jackbrown2501 solid pickups bro glad you got everything you wanted

@neyaleba aha that's dope. I didn't even make the connection between the amber hoodie and Beyonce's performance
The all black mens wear pieces like that waffle knit are exactly what I love from FOG Essentials! Getting it for sure
@@CDC678 it's a solid piece and priced reasonable for the ESSENTIALS line
NGL, FOG killed it with this drop
I really appreciate ur honesty on this review, wow, even the material/feel comparisons. Just Subscribed

they boosted the prices crazy high on this drop
They just restocked the Burgundy zip-up hoodie. I couldn't resist and copped it 😂
@@CCCFFHO jeezzz! I know you really wanted that piece
Solid review my dude! 🙏🏼 I passed on this drop hard 😅
@Akbari93 thanks bro! And I don't blame you they were taxing hard on this one
This is one of the best drops in a long time, they killed
It
Great vid bro, we need a review of the bonded nylon field pant
I wish I got my hands on it bro but no luck 😔
Thanks for watching! Always appreciate the comments and support 🙏🏽
I love the military colorway
@devinhe4285 it's a nice colour in the heavy weight style
I think it looks dope, prices are too heavy for me though, i’d cop on sale.
@@kaybasquiat definitely would have had more traction on sale

@CCCFFHO yeah they were wilding and pacsun even had 30% off 😂
Would you say the crimson darker version is more of a maroon or crimson color?
crimson not close to maroon
What size did you go in the crimson zip up thinking of copping I’m 5’4 100lb

Is the heavyweight hoodie worth it compared to the regular hoodie?
@jaelonjones3745 if you are looking for a thick sweater for the winter than yes but if you want something you can reuse all year go with the regular hoodie
@@Its_Sheroy thank you
bought the military hooded jacket.. nice but no pocket , which is annoying
@@stringer6435 glad you were able to get the piece but surprised there is no pockets on it
@ i was told it was quite hard to get but i was able to pick one up.. yes no side pockets, i had no idea , hardly a review on the jacket 👍🏾🇬🇧
I’m 6’0 and 150 pounds and I want a slimmer fit what sizes do I get??
@shefwbandz you have similar dimensions to the ssense models and they wear Medium. If you like the look on them I'd stick to M but if you want slimmer go Small
The price increase ain't going to HBUs, they're going straight into Jerry's pockets 😂😂😂
@_Jump_Man_ unfortunately the only one celebrating is him lol
You gotta make videos where you show how to dress like someone or a certain style and recommend some pieces. I think it would help out a lot of people
@@dumix I've tried styling videos in the past but don't have the setup for it. Will try and figure something out in the coming weeks
If this collection leaned more into Jerry's university colors, mascot and history. It would have been more special, 2 me.
Yeah, I agree it would have been nice to see him lean into it a bit further
For these prices who is buying this stuff? Homecoming is pretty corny. Good vid tho man
Jerry was taxing for this drop! Thanks for watching bro 🙏🏽
I normally wait till this stuff goes on sale. I just bought some pieces from the 2024 summer collection and got it for a good deal on pac sun.
@@Bnunez96 sale is honestly the best way to buy cause most of the items are available still
L collection tbh. Especially as a european where the collection costs a shit ton of money and is uniqlo/h&m quality with some teen prints on it. Pass
Great review/content tho! Very informative
