That sweatshirt has been sitting at over 85% for almost 2 weeks (now 99%), but that thing really stalled out. G clearly wants that one to complete organically and not by the magic that the UAF CPO jacket funded.

G clearly wants that one to complete organically and not by the magic that the UAF CPO jacket funded. The CPO appeared to be a run of 25, and went pretty quickly due to that, I'd wager. If they have no limitation on the amount of fabric they can get, they will often just keep finding even though it's close to 100%, and people only notice or care when they're trying to keep tabs or figure out the secret to gustin. If they can keep gathering funding and go well beyond the initial funding goal, they can put in a larger order and likely decrease their per unit cost, which makes sense by nearly all counts.

I think the sweatshirt has already reached it's 100% goal but in cases like this when G sees that a particular drop is funding well they will keep it at 99% and let people continue to back it as there is more fabric available and it's selling better than they thought. At least that's my theory. I've noticed this happen quite often before.

ickes, exophobe - makes logical sense. What still doesn't make sense is whether it was 25 or 2, there is going to be a handful of people looking like they lost a bet wearing that ugly as f- CPO.

As I've said before, I try not to judge people too harshly for their fashion choices because I don't care to hear them judge me on mine. I feel as though I know plenty of people that would find the wabash we like around these parts offensive, so what business is it of mine?

Fair point, but we should have them checked for concussion protocol.

Italy vintage blue is a pretty sweet shade, and I think I'm into that striped work shirt, 10oz khaki stripe twill seems like it'll be solid. Guys note the Italian Striped Khaki Workshirt pictured above is NOT selvedge. There was another copy & paste error that I queried & has now been fixed. That being said, it's very difficult to picture this one in a work shirt, could be magnificent or bland.

That being said, it's very difficult to picture this one in a work shirt, could be magnificent or bland. It's likely to look like a hickory stripe, except khaki rather than indigo. The more muted look should make it more versatile and less train-conductory, so as long as they sew it up straight, it should be fine (and even if they don't, it will be less pronounced than my well documented Japan Hickory Stripe #1 from last year or earlier this year, whatever it was.

Are they just stripes or actual ridges like a corduroy fabric, I can't tell on my phone.

OK I've backed the Italian Khaki Stripe workshirt. I usually only back selvedge work shirts but I made such a big deal about keeping the work shirts in their line up I wanted to show support by backing it. I think it will actually be a really nice shirt, and substantial at 10oz.

Did Gustin put the Italian Stripe WS in one of the Email notices? Seems that they don't really promote the WS.

The New Gustin Shirt should be dropping any day. Thoughts on price point? Do you think there's enough pent up damand to make them a hit? As in how many of us will Walk The Walk after we've Talked the Talk regarding a better cut and the fabrics G offers. And most of all will those Dam scoops be gone!?

The heavy flannels are pointless too me. High price, button down collar, other brands at better price.

I'm expecting that the first drop will be something that clashes with the black mop buttons and made of terry cloth, but that's just so that whatever it is I'll be pleasantly surprised. The will likely be the chambray they posted a picture of and cost something from $95 to $118. Oh, and I suspect the scoops will be identical to their current offering, but I'm hoping they'll instead opt to model it after the tall fit.

They wouldn't do that to us, would they? Those scoops are so horrible.

Any thoughts on Gustins light weight jean offerings? I have a pair of the Italy Pink that I love. Contemplating the brushed back superlight and the cone summer OR holding out for another offering. I really like the color on this Italian. www.weargustin.com/store/1847

I haven't worn them since it's starting to get cold but they seem nice for summer wear. 10oz if I recall correctly

And most of all will those Dam scoops be gone!? who knows what they'll charge. i'm more interested in a flannel shirt with the new cut, so lose the side scoops and buttoned down collar and they'll rope me in. but, the fabric also has to be pretty cool too as well as heavyweight. i'd still like to see them do a western shirt. some of the SF acolytes insisted that a western style shirt is incongruent with G's aesthetic. I googled a pic of Josh Gustin and lookey what I found....Lord Gustin in a western shirt.
