For fit on my LD's, I originally ordered a 33 in relaxed straight - I'm a 33 slim in Gustin. After speaking (chatting with Roman) where I told him I normally ordered a 33.5 waist with the expectation it would stretch 1 inch, he told me to go with a 34. I subsequently switched to the slim straight style in a 34 based on the fit guide. Haven't received them yet, but I'm comfortable with what I ordered.

That would take too much thinking

Thanks man and everyone else. I should have been clearer - I've been in the forum since the launch but didn't notice this page until today - pretty slow on my part. Thank you for the warm welcome nonetheless. This community was a fantastic idea.

Hey guys - jray from the Gustin board. Didn't notice this spot on here until today - I was on a cell the weekend you guys set this up. This is a great forum! I'm Canadian, mid-40's with a wife and 3 kids. Work in financial services.

Re: IG pic - they could be the loomies or maybe something new and heavier?

Has anyone received kickstarter jeans or seen more pics or real life of completed jeans?

I'm going to guess either montaro or 3sixteen indigo brown weft.

Now I can tell my wife when all (3 pairs) of jeans show up that this is nothing - Bugala has 9 pairs of jeans, 11 shirts and numerous misc. items on the way!
Bugala - all great choices man!

this is going to sound sappy so I apologize in advance. Gustin was my first foray into raw denim after hearing about it in GQ or esquire but I've always liked denim. My girlfriend in university's father was in the business - he distributed Edwin jeans for North America. Now to my point - I still love gustin but think I have enough pairs of jeans for now and they're getting too expensive for me. The kicker about Gustin for me was raw denim at a third of the price of the others because I like getting a deal as value shopper.
The COMMUNITY/FORUM/You Guys, on Gustin has always been the difference for me. I've enjoyed the banter, humor, education, suggestions and sometimes convincing me to try certain denims based on all of your feedback. If that goes away, I'll miss it and I do believe it will impact G's business model.

I'm done buying for now. Have my SH's on the way from Gustin and the brown weft's and 17 oz slubs from Lawless ordered. I don't need any more denim. I think Gustin needs new customers and are pricing themselves to high for me anyway.

Yup - my wife is going to have a fit - guess I'll have to order her a pair too so she can feel part of the club!

I also remember a number of the denims - so ask away and I can tell you what I recall. In the slub category, there's a 14 or 15 Oz in black and also indigo and a heavy sub in indigo.

Guys - I want to thank all of you for the assistance and opinion in the G community as well as the many laughs. But also for bringing me in on this with lawless. It's a free market out there and great to have competition for G and others. This is the only way prices will remain reasonable. Never mind all of the cool shit we get to wear! I enjoy supporting hard working cool companies and it now looks like we will have at least 2 in the denim market. I just hope the lawless product is as good as I think it will be.

I gave Roman my measurements and he asked what I wanted. I had been chatting with him on the lawless site week trying to buy the 17 Oz slubs but it wasn't working so he said I could have those which is amazing. I didn't get on the kickstarter offer so I promised I would by at least 1 pair next week.
