Old26 - I give G credit for finally attempting to tune drops for the seasons. Not really. These won't ship before mid sept. Just in time for fall

They'd be great, but even though they are less reliant on pattern alignment than plaids and checks, G will still manage to make them look bad I'm sure, so pass

The oxfords run one size larger than marked. The workshirts are true to size. If you normally wear a L in every other makers shirts, and an XL in G's oxfords, buy a L workshirt. Unless they've changed their oxford sizing within the last year. The last G oxford I bought was 1 year ago. The last workshirt I bought was a couple months ago

You are correct, i singled out your post. The reason being your story didn't match up to what actually happened, hence why i posted the exact email you sent me. If anybody received the email you sent us you would not think they would be waiting for a second email. Once again, you sent the email and i immediately refunded you. From the few words you wrote in your initial email in no way did i read it as "please wait a few minutes so i can email you again with a different answer". You were done with the transaction and i wanted to refund you as quickly as possible as we don't like holding onto a customer's funds if we're not sending you any product. If you want me to come in here and reply to months of old posts, that won't solve much at this point, but I am here to help going forward. In reply to "intentionally ruining" somebody's jeans, that's ridiculous. You seem to have it out for us after our transaction. We at no time intentionally ruined anybody's jeans, we (and no store in the world that does chainstitch hemming) has every single color of thread ever used on a pair of jeans, we actually have a larger range than any other shop i've seen in the US and we have the same thread which is used at factories in Japan, the brands send spools of threads to our stores. We even have some from brands we don't carry. So we definitely go the extra mile there, but to think that we would have the identical thread for every jean, nobody has this, but we're very close. "Have it out for you"?? No, you did me a favor by reneging on your offer. There was a shirt I was about to jump on, but after you changed your mind and recinded the offer, I went online and found it for $200 less than what you were asking for it. Had you not done that I might not have gone looking for it elsewhere first. So thanks for saving me $$$. I'd go so far as to encourage anyone that sees something they want for sale on your site to do a quick google search first before pulling the trigger.

SE is a joke isn't it. I bought a shirt online from them (first time buying anything from them) a couple days ago and later that day I get an email from Kiya that they made a mistake with their stock and didn't actually have it. He also offered as a condolence to let me have *any* shirt they had in stock regardless of price, for the price I paid for the original shirt. I sent a reply to clarify that is what he really meant, then went and looked at all their shirts and found a couple I liked that were more expensive than the original shirt. Then I get a reply that yes, that really is what he meant, but to nevermind, that he just went ahead and refunded me. F#cker!! This pissed me off, Your response to my email where i offered you any shirt (at any cost) instead of the out of stock item was exactly this: "No just that one. Thanks anyway" That was word for word the email you sent, so we refunded you immediately. You did not allude to the fact that you were going to email us later with a shirt selection, so why would we have waited to refund you? Your email was very clear, you were not interested. You know better than to say that, c'mon now. Funny how you left out that 2 seconds after I sent you the email you are quoting I sent another one saying, wait maybe I am interested. Then got your 'too late too bad so sad' reply. If you were truly customer service minded, you would have stood by that offer and offered to let me repay. You know what though, there are more pressing posts than mine that have been made here that are more deserving of an explanation. How about addressing those? Like the posts on the seemingly intentionally ruined jeans that came in to you for hemming. How about a word about what's going on there. The fact that you singled my post out, and didn't comment on these more serious accusations says a lot

I got that email a couple weeks ago on a pair of $140 12oz jeans. They really did me a favor though as I had buyers remorse paying that much for 12oz denim and was happy to have the deal cancelled. As a condolence, they offered me half price on a stock store item under $100, or $50 off on an item if it was over $100. Good move, as just a refund on $$ they had held for 3 months wouldn't have cut the mustard and would have made me want to boycott them.
One thing to be aware of though is they will refund the original CC. So if it's a CC that you've since closed, you are out of luck. They will not get the funds to you via any other method. They will pay back the closed card and it's then between you and the CC company to get them to send you a check. They told me this.

It's a higher end brand. It's brand new so I still have the option to exchange it. I didn't take a pic before cutting it. It looks fine right now, I'm just worried about how it will end up down the road.

On one of my denim shirts I noticed a loose warp thread that had been pulled up. It wasn't broken, I could still see the loop. It was big enough to put a toothpick through. I probably should have left it alone. The shirt is still raw/unwashed, and maybe that thread would have shrank back into the fabric. Instead, I cut it, so the denim is smooth again in that spot. Now I'm wondering if I did something bad, like maybe it will end up looking like a run in a stocking, and eventually turn into a hole. What do you think fellas? It's a nice shirt that I expect to own for many years and was expensive, otherwise I wouldn't be worried about it

This pissed me off, but turns out he did me a favor because I looked these shirts that I may have hastily jumped on up online and saw that they were available elsewhere for much less than SE was asking and much less than what I paid them for the original shirt. I'll never consider buying anything from them again.
As a side note, have you guys seen the prices they are asking for little things like keychains and wallets?? They must have a good sense of humor

Their regular shirts run one size small, so buy one size up on those. The workshirts run true to size, so buy your regular size.

I semi-regret not picking these up for a summer pair. Keep hoping a pair in my size may magically pop up in the stock store. If you want them in a 38 straight I'll sell you mine. Brand new, never washed or soaked.

A suggested page came up on my facebook for a new jeans start up stating to be based in LA CA that looked like a new Roman venture. Same sort of stuff with $69 selvedge denim with a blurb about why pay too much for selvedge denim, blah blah blah and the girl in the pics modelling the ladies jeans appears to be Laura. Thing is, I was at work so I didn't investigate further, thinking I would have a closer look at it when I got home, but then forgot their name. From memory it was some sort of abbreviation of the word Diesel, but now that I'm unable to find it I'm wondering if I'm remembering it wrong. Anyone here have a clue about this?
Found it. It's called DSTLD. Facebook: www.facebook.com/dstld web: www.dstld.com
They've replaced a lot of the photos I thought were very Laura-looking with pro model pictures, but the pricing mantra of $65 selvedge denim remains the same, and the men's jeans look exactly like the same old Romanesque Lawless/Free Riders design

I just received a pair of jeans, and he included for free what looks like a scarf that is sewn together at the ends to form a loop. Anyone know what these are?
Also, looks like he is no longer doing the back pocket design, or logo on the patch. Mine has a plain patch and pockets. No big deal, I like them either way.

About the straights, with my first pair I noticed that they feel wider than they look. I thought they seemed super wide too until I looked in a full length mirror, and they look great. But, I'm not into the femme skinny-pants look, so YMMV

My very first pair of G is the Natural Indigo II. Worst Indigo jeans (the worst of all time is the Grey Silk) that I have in my closet. The fade looks crappy because I wash my jeans too often with slow fade. It was expensive too because it is "Natural Indigo".... Btw, I was a total newbie at the time. Know better now. You don't like the gray silks? HERESY! The Natural 2's were nice also. They weren't THAT expensive

If this makes any sense whatsoever, please shoot me now... It makes as much sense as spending a thousands of dollars on a watch or over a thousand dollars on a jacket or a pair of shoes. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but there is certainly a niche. I have to disagree. The right watch, and a well made leather jacket are lifetime and heirloom pieces and are thus investments, so high cost can be justified (within reason). Jeans and shoes are disposable, meaning they have a finite lifespan, and will eventually be tossed out

Khaki Stripe WS I ordered from the Stock Store is in. This thing is SHARP. Needs a little wash/dry and its good to go. Winner. Were there QC issues with it? Are the stripes even? I always wondered if the stock store was just returned defective items
