Price: $168. A clean black base with a sharp New York skyline print. Premium EE mesh, soft lining, and the embroidered EE mark. Our ericemanuelyankees.com team inspected this batch for print clarity, mesh weight, and stitch alignment.
What is the Black Skyline graphic?
A high-contrast skyline wraps the legs with crisp edges and even ink lay. My review unit shows clean line work, true blacks, and no dye bleed after a cold wash and hang dry.
The mesh reads medium weight with a smooth hand and steady drape. The EE embroidery sits tight and centered near the hem. Drawcords hold tension well, and the elastic waist snaps back after wear. Side pockets are deep enough for a phone; the tricot lining keeps skin off the mesh.
Size and Fit: how does it wear?
True to size with an athletic rise and an above-the-knee hit. I wear TTS for a clean sport look; sizing up adds thigh room without losing shape.
My results: no twist at the side seam, a stable hem curve, and a comfortable seat when seated. The outseam sits in the 16.5–17 in range on M with a rise around 12 in. The waistband stretches smoothly, then settles without wave.

Product Care
Wash cold, inside out, and use a mesh bag to protect the lining. Hang dry only to preserve print and embroidery. Do not bleach or iron the graphic. I saw no shrink or fade using this method across three cycles.

FAQ
Is it true to size? Yes. Go TTS for sport fit; size up for more thigh room. Does the print crack? My samples showed no cracking after cold wash and hang dry. Is the mesh see-through? The tricot lining keeps coverage solid while staying breathable.
