A lot of their new drops and sweaters look great, but their pricing is out of control for miC. I just got am American Trench Wool/Cashmere sweater MIUSA for the same price as TS wants 🤷♂️

Hello everyone. Long time no visit. I was checking in tonight after a long absence. The forum has been dead, and I have taken a break from purchasing as I gained some weight. Anyway, I thought I might drop a little promotion in here that is non clothing related. I am a project manager for a company called Chroma Painting System. Our aim as a company is to make DIY painting easier, safer, and more fun for everyone. Our products are actually pretty neat. They address several deficiencies with traditional jstyle roller frames and paint trays. Our paint tray is a patented design and the first in it's class to have a handle. Our roller handle is a dual arm design that adjusts to fit any size roller up to 9 inches. We've spent about 2 years working on these products, and we just launched a Kickstarter. We're about 12% funded after just 2 days. Would love for you guys to take 5 minutes to check the video and products at @ www.chromapaintingsystem.com/kickstarterThat link will forward you to our Kickstarter page. If you like it, consider backing it or sharing with friends and family. Also mods, if you don't like this, feel free to edit or take down. I just need as many eyeballs on this as possible. I put a lot of work into this project and I want the inventor to have success. Thanks!

So I just got one of the new Gustin shirts in size Large. I was always a classic medium and the new medium was terribly small. I had to return two orders and I just re-ordered one in large to see how it fit. I'm happy to say it fits almost perfectly, just as good as the classic mediums did. If anyone else was a classic medium and bummed out about the new sizing, just go with the large. Very happy to report this. Sleeve and shoulder measurements appear to be too big though, so while the chest may fit better, everything else would be too wide and too long.

So with the $30 credit from Black Friday (I think) and now $15 for taking their brand feedback survey I've now got $45 in TS credits. I think I'm good on their shirts and various pants right now. Any idea what I should hold out and wait for? I had thought about maybe a Rover jacket or some kind of outerwear. Their Rover jackets are impossibly short. Great fabrics and design other than the length.

Gustin socks are an instapass for me as they are in one size. How exactly do you think socks will fit a foot correctly over a range of 4 sizes? You crowdfund. How hard would it be to offer sizing?

Got my Cone natural indigo today. Sewn up a full inch under spec in the waist. Why do I even bother?

I really want to keep supporting them because looking at Ratio I don't even like most of their styles. They are more dress shirts and gustin is more rugged looking in my opinion. I like that Gustin started it's own thing and they have always been cool to me in emails. Might try Taylor Stich next but shit's expensive there. Ratio can make a sufficiently rugged shirt if you tailor the options. They have a few nicer flannel type things, but no denim.

I will try them next but I liked Gustin's shirts so much =( I honestly think they will have an email sent out soon "We hear you loud and clear and are now bringing back the old style shirts!!" Why they adjusted the CHEST is insane. That is the one thing they should have increased in size. wtf?The red sentence. So stupid of G. I typed this reply because I enjoy pissing in the wind. Yep. Chest was fine. They needed to taper the stomach slightly and fix the hem. Done.

Two things:
1) Those pocket henleys are one of the ugliest thinks I've ever seen. Just stop.
2) Buy shirts from Ratio. Their oxford is like $25 more and you get a custom fit MiUSA. I have $50 referral gift cards if anyone needs one.

Bitcoin helping ETH and alt coins to price correct slightly today. XRP is down $1.50. It'll go back up. Could BTC go over 20k today?

Gustin is having a HUGE stock sale today!!!! You don't want to miss these amazing once a year values. Go check it out now!!! WOW¡!!!!!!!!! I Like Sarcasm!!! In all seriousness--it seems as though their stock store inventory is growing larger and larger. Moreover, it seems like things are taking longer and longer to fund. Now mind you, these are just casual observations that lack any serious, concrete, factual, evidence. That said, these "sales" are slightly ridiculous. Most stuff just has free shipping, other things are marked down 10%. Also I'm not sure but don't they tack on a few bucks to stock store inventory and then call it "free shipping"? They have no brick and mortar presence, and their stuff isn't really that much cheaper (if at all) than say TS, Bravestar, Ciano, or a shirt from Ratio. Moreover, they don't give refunds as a matter of practice, and the whole crowdfunding thing is supposed to eliminate waste so they don't have devalued inventory sitting around. They should have plenty of room in their margins to mark down stock store items 25-30%. Even if they just make a few bucks they get the brand out there, get some cash flow, and move dead inventory. None of that takes into account the facts that they are no returns on stock store items, and the bad luck people have had with missized or "b quality" items from the stock store.

Backed those raglan tees because I liked the colors and raglan looks good on me.

The one henley I have from them fits weird. The neckline is bizarre and it is boxy and out of spec. I really just like their t-shirts. Trying one more pair of jeans before I give up.

I think i'm going to go with this evergreen chamois shirt with brown buttons. I can't decide on a collar. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the Semi Spread to give it a more casual workshirt appearance. Yep. Do it. I'm going red oxford button down collar. Just can't decide on my waist measurement.

I wish Ratio had even half of the options that Proper Cloth does. Oh well. I plan to get a shirt with the $50 credit soon.

I like it. Nice fabric, and choice of buttons. Made in CA, too. My only gripes are with the pockets. I think they would have been better served staying with a rounded shape, and single entry. The mitered, dual entry pockets, while probably more convenient, somewhat kill the look for me. Bleu de Paname have a great alternative, at a similar price point. Not to mention... It's a french work jacket... made in France. What a concept. I've tried that Bleu de Paname on in wool. Holy hell it's nice.
