Ash & Erie Review: Clothes for Shorter Guys (2022 Update)
It’s not a dealbreaker, but I would like to see a more traditional take on the bomber, as I think the ribbed hem makes the garment feel complete.
Ash & Erie Denim Chore Jacket
This denim chore jacket doesn’t fit me perfectly (the sleeves are a bit long) but it’s definitely a high-quality garment – the kind that gets better with age.
It’s made from Cone denim with just a hint of stretch. The washed indigo is inky blue and will likely develop some sick fades, bro.
If you’re a shorter guy and have been looking for a heritage quality denim overshirt or jacket, this is probably the one.
Ash & Erie Overshirt
Speaking of “shackets” or overshirts, this is Ash & Erie’s take on the heavy overshirt.
Like with the Chore Jacket, the sleeves on this overshirt are too long for me. They might shrink up in a high heat dry cycle, but that’s a risky maneuver.
This shirt reminds me a lot of Everlane’s heavy work shirt. Like, it might be from the same factory. The fabric feels exactly the same to me.
Other than the sleeve length, the overall fit and details are spot on.
Ash & Erie Pullover Hoodie
This French terry pullover hoodie is made with 95% cotton and 5% Spandex, so it has a lot of stretch to it.
Compared to other brands, the XS size is very fitted on me. It’s actually perfect for wearing to the gym.
I could definitely size up, but since this is made from pre-shrunk cotton, I’m not too worried about it shrinking in the laundry.
The hood seems slightly large compared to the rest of the garment, but maybe I just have a small head (I never wear the hood up anyway).
It’s not a dealbreaker at all, just something I noticed. Overall, I’m very happy with this hoodie.
