AZAG posted a press release today. The consent judgment doc is a good read as well. The "Findings of Fact" section is spot on for the experience a lot of us had. Feels good to see the signed statement... Link to press release here: www.azag.gov/press-release/ag-brnovich-lawless-denim-refund-customers Thanks to AZAG and all the people who took the time to communicate with them. File a complaint if you never received what you paid for.

cianofarmer Definitely in on all of the military color tees... Prefer v-neck but would still order crew... What are your thoughts about custom length at an additional cost? I take my nice tees to my tailor down the street and she shortens them for $15 a shirt. I would do this with the Ciano tees due to the length. Totally understood if it's not worth the time/money considering everything you have going on... Just asking! Thanks!

This is cool.
Got a letter today as well from AZAG saying that because I filed a complaint I may be eligible for some restitution.
Honestly, I'm just glad that Roman wasn't able to cruise away without at least a little accountability / headache.

There are some naturals on sale on the indigogene site this weekend for $69.
I picked up a pair... hard to pass up if you don't already have light denim.

Maybe more denim than car related bur car folks might get a kick out if it...
I work at the ad agency that does the advertising for VW and we made a video called Denim Road as a teaser for an upcoming Beetle Denim special edition model:
All CG but kinda cool.
I know what you're thinking (sick fadez?) but there is no real denim on the car, just "denim inspired" colorways and materials

exophobe thanks for the insight. Some additional details: I have most of my clothes tailored and believe that a tailor can do just about anything for a price. I am a small classic in G button downs and a small in G tees and jackets. I love the fit of the tees, button downs and jackets. I have the sleeves shortened on all my button downs which adds $25 to each shirt but I'm completely ok with this and buy G button downs with this in mind. My ideal button down shirt specs are chest 20.25 and length 26.5. With shrinkage over time G small classic button downs get to these measurements but only when they come in on spec per the G sizing charts (classic small chest 41.5, length 29.75). Sleeve length doesn't matter as I have them shortened. We all know that G sizing can vary from one piece to the next but the workshirts I have received have been small in the chest and long. When this happens, there's no room for the shrinkage in the chest that can be expected from washing and still have it fit. For example, the Black x Coal WS arrived at 20.25 in the chest and 30.5 inches long. The three G workshirts I have received are similarly spec'd. I can have the length shortened ($30) as well as the sleeves ($25) but adding $55 to price of a G workshirt puts the shirt into a different price bracket where I can get Japanese brands used or on sale that fit perfect. And the G shirt will still have the chest size issue. This is just me and my sizing preferences. I imagine this chest/length ratio works for a lot of people. With all that said... I am going to soak the workshirts and see what the shrinkage is like. Enough typing. Time for some pics...

got the salt and pepper canvas workshirt as well as the heavy black X coal work shirt yesterday... The fabrics are definitely cool but I have come to the sad realization that G workshirts do not work for me. The arm length and overall length verse the chest width is too much at odd for me even with tailoring. This is a little unexpected as their button downs are perfect for me after I have the sleeves shortened. In the end I guess it is the overall length that is the problem. Couple of pics below but I am about to post these on the bay.

I took my indogogene mariner vest on a recent trip to Bora Bora (my honeymoon!) and we had a plunge pool made of rough-finished stones (granite maybe?) that I ended up using as a denim distressing pool. The sun there is super intense so I started soaking the vest in the pool and then laying out it to fade in the sun just to get some sun fades. I did this for several days but eventually just went for the total distressed look by rubbing the vest against the stones in the plunge pool. I think the results are great and like the vest way better but am interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on purposefully distressing your denim. This isn't something I would do for every type of clothing but for me vests wear in slowly and have little wear-induced fades so seemed like a good candidate for this. Before and after pics below Before After

I've had the G indigo tees for about a year now (the two-pack www.weargustin.com/store/1513). I put one out in the sun for several weeks last summer and it faded like crazy. Looks awesome and I really like not having both of the shirts look the same. The shirt on the left has had normal wear along with regular machine washing/drying. The shirt on the right was sun-soaked.

here are some pics to help hold over those still waiting... these are my first pair of heavyweight denim and they are surprisingyl soft and comfortable. I expected wearing them to be more like wearing carpet but they just feel like pants. The details are great. printed pocket bag Selvedge style patch. 3 of 17 Chainstitch runoff on the cuff. I went with olive thread for my pair olive thread The rivets have the letter "C" stamped in them patch up close lifetime repair There was a swatch included. Looks like the olive green fabric that the Garrison sample Ciano posted was made from Some fit pics. I ordered size 32 with a custom taper. Fit is perfect for me

Got mine on Monday (3 of 17) but no pics yet as I have been working during all daylight hours and want to have some good light for the pics... Will get pics this Saturday for sure.
Everything about them is great. Construction is great. Custom details are awesome. Very happy I am able to have a pair.
Now we need a fades thread!!

I got a shipping notice yesterday.
I went with olive thread to match my Ciano vest I recently ordered.
Can't wait to see these except I am away for the rest of the week...
Hoping to come back to these and some Gustin workshirts that have been in sewing since 4/1.

@untucked New epic shit??!! Seriously can't wait to see it!
Yes, very inspired by the signal vest. I sold my Signal Vest as it was a little too costume-y for my daily rotation and got these two vests instead. In fact I had originally asked Manny to makes these with the selvedge ID visible at the front pocket openings like the signal vest but he advised it was too loud and wouldn't work with the tonal look these vests have. Very glad I followed his advise.
If I were to order two vests so similar to each other again I would probably go with a normal collar on one instead of both with shawl collars. Like the vest you have in some of the WAYWT shots...
