I don't think they're done yet. That's the only explanation. Also, I know that a wristband I'd nowhere near as complex. Point being, it funded last night around 11 pm and shipped around 11am today. I was just scoffing at the quick turn around weeks ahead of the estimated ship date. I'm starting to worry they're not done yet. The super heavy slubs have the same status. It's starting to look like the batch of denim back in December that was "complete" for 2 weeks before an "unexpected delay" pushed them back a whole month. I hope to hear back on my questioning tomorrow. I will update y'all if I get a real answer.

Waiting on Japan One Seven. Status = "Production status: 1/28: Jeans now in finishing. We will begin shipping out orders on 2/2. They will be shipped in the order they were backed." ...because shipping out orders takes two weeks...at least I don't think they're done yet. That's the only explanation. Also, I know that a wristband I'd nowhere near as complex. Point being, it funded last night around 11 pm and shipped around 11am today.

Backed the #167 Italy BlackxBlack on 11/26/14, which I believe was fully funded on 11/28/14. My first and only campaign thus far. Was initially listed as shipping in January. Now, the latest update was on 1/28 stating: "1/28: Jeans now in finishing. We will begin shipping out orders on 2/2. They will be shipped in the order they were backed." It'll be three full months or more between getting funded and actually receiving the product. Is this normal? I want to get in on more, but want to see the fit of these before I back another. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't have backed it had I known it would take 90 days or more... I hope the fit!!! Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat. I pressed them for more info, but haven't heard back yet. Funny thing is, I backed a double wrap wristband last night and it shipped this morning even though the eta was March.

Just fyi--I sell a lot of watches through my work. Citizen, Ferragamo, Seiko, Bulova, Invicta. If anyone ever needs a watch I can get you great prices or possibly trade for gear

Got the double wrap bracelet as part of a valentine's gift. I really like it. I ordered another one. Super value. This guy is close to as nice as stuff they sell at Tanner Goods, for less than half price.
Just backed the natural classic belt too.

I'm waiting on a t-shirt three pack (I think from the first campaign) and the Heavy Americans, which'll be my second pair. Have any of the t-shirts shipped yet? I don't think so. I also backed the first 3-pack I backed a 3 pack as well. Stoked on getting them. In other news, still no Japan One Seven ship.

Nice. If you get a 38 let me know how it fits. I wish that size 40 I had were a tad smaller, but I wear it to work in and was scared that the 38 would restrict me. It was perfect for a night on the town shirt and fit really similar to the blue shirt I posted, just a TINY bit smaller in the chest/arms. Plus it's frickin 10 oz. so it doesn't exactly flex a lot. You should be okay with a lighter fabric. I am 5'10 and 159lbs. I am thinking about 38 in moss mechanic shirt.

Yep. 8" Quarry Steel Toe. Didn't want steel toe, but they were on clearance for $115 in my wide ass size so I had to. Great price! Btw, I had no plan to cop the TS shirt and your fit pictures changed my mind. Mind to tell me how tall are you? Want to make sure the length of my shirt will be similar to yours.[/quote] I am 5'8 160 lbs. The green shirt is a size 40 in the glacier and the blue shirt is a size 38 in the triple needle utility shirt. Keep in mind, that 38 is an older shirt so the sizing may differ now. TS is pretty consistent to specs on the fit guide, but their shirts can fit a little different depending on the style. What size are you considering?

Anyone get a shipping notification on the J17 yet? I'm waiting on them too. At this point I don't think they are getting shipped. Hooray.

What's your height, weight, measurements, G size, and all that stuff? I'm 6'2" and 180 lbs. My chest is 42". My G slim large is almost exactly 22" across, and it's a bit too tight in the chest. (When I inhale, it stretches.) My best fitting shirt is like 23" across the chest and has a 19" waist. I also have pretty narrow shoulders, so I'm a weird shape. So I was thinking size 40, but if the chest is too small, then it's no good. TS sizing really depends on the shirt. My chest measures 38.5". I wear a 40 in TS glacier shirts and they fit me very well. The chest may be about a half inch to an inch to big to really call it slim fit, but it looks good on me. I tried a 38 and it was just too tight. It'd be great if I didn't have to move, but otherwise, way too small. However, I have one of their old triple needle denim utility shirts in a size 38 and it fits me perfect. I would say you should go with the 42. The shirt may shrink just a little, and I think the 40 would be just a little tight on you. If your chest is 42", that 44" in a 7 oz fabric might be hard to move around in with only 2" of clearance. Here are some fit pics. The bottom one is the Glacier shirt in a size 40 (chest measures 43.5ish"), the top is the triple needle utility shirt (chest measures 42ish") My chest measures 38.5". Hope this helps!

Worked with Ciano to determine size. Went with a 30 with a tailored band. I'm worried it might be a little big, but I'm stoked on them. Will update in 4-6 weeks!

My G size is 31 slim and my Ciano size is 31 901 slim fit but Ciano has changed the fit guide since my KS order. I should be size 30 in new size guide. No wash yet, so there is no shrinkage. It stretch a bit but not significant. Hope this help. Very helpful, except that I don't know my G size for sure. Most of my non raw jeans measure about 16 or 16.5 out of the wash and they are all too big (have to wear a belt) Ciano seems like they're cool if there is a problem, so I think I will be okay guessing.

Anyone have any experience with CF's tailored waist? Supposed to control shrink/stretch. Also, how did you find the fitting process? My 20oz has the tailored waist and it is really beautifully done. Not sure what exactly the purpose it serves but I love the detail. About sizing, I used its size guide and the fit is right on. You can also see my jeans here: gustinfriends.proboards.com/post/5017/threadWhat is your G size? What size did you order in Ciano? Did your jeans shrink or stretch much?

Italy pink IDs look like s nice summer pair. Anybody have them? I'm planning on backing them or another light Italian pair after I get my size figured out. Hopefully they go slowly.

I'm patient, but if they aren't in the mail by Friday, I'll email again. If I don't get a more satisfactory answer at that time I'll have to consider asking for a refund.

Cody answered my question today, I had always dealt with Ren previously. Apparently the Japan One Seven are supposed to ship this week.

Those workshirts are bad ass though, and a good price. I own one and I really like it. Oh really? I didn't realize those TS denim Work shirts had been released before. Not that specific fabric etc, but they've put out triple needle denim utility shirts in the past. The design is identical except fabric.

Taylor Stitch released a new denim workshop item today. It will ship the first week of April. It is funding until 2/15 I find it interesting that TS can go from inception to delivery in under 8 weeks, (6 weeks from funding), but Gustin struggles with 10-12 weeks. TS quality is as good if not better. exactly, exophobe beat me to it. The TS jeans are not selvedge and neither are the two workshirts they just released. I will take a pair of Heavy Americans over those any day. The fit on the TS jeans does not look good to me. Those workshirts are bad ass though, and a good price. I own one and I really like it.

I know, I was stoked on those until I noticed they weren't selvedge.
