Yeezy Black JC-08 Jacket: Size Guide, Fit & Review

The JC-08 is a bulky, cropped, very heavy jacket that runs on the short side. Owners say it is so thick you would usually wear just a t-shirt under it, with little room to layer a hoodie, so if you want layering space, size up. It is warm but not water repellent, so skip it in heavy rain. Below you’ll find owner reviews, the measurements, a FAQ and where to buy.

Yeezy Black JC-08 Jacket Review

Here is what owners are saying:

“Probably could have gone with a 3. Very bulky and cropped. Don’t have much room to layer underneath with anything substantial like a hoodie… Not really water repellent. Sat briefly but then soaked in… It is very heavy. You’d probably only want to wear a t-shirt underneath it, unless it’s really, really cold.” (r/yeezy)

Yeezy Black JC-08 FAQ (based on owners’ reviews)

Does the JC-08 run big or small, and what size should I get?

It runs short and cropped with a bulky fit. A size 2 owner felt he could have gone with a 3 for more length and layering room. If you want to layer a hoodie underneath, size up.

Is the JC-08 warm, and is it waterproof?

It’s very thick, heavy and warm, but not water repellent. Water sits briefly then soaks in, so it isn’t made for heavy rain.

Can you layer under the JC-08?

Not much. It’s so thick that owners usually wear just a t-shirt underneath, unless it’s really cold. There isn’t much room for a substantial hoodie.

Where can you buy the Yeezy Black JC-08?

The JC-08 is easiest to find on the resale market: see current Black JC-08 listings on eBay.
