Hmmmm... I'm trying to understand but maybe my brain finally broke. The joke is that you work in the medical field, and the Hippocratic oath prohibits you from doing harm, in this case, for a pair of Alden jumpers. My brain did break. How about - I'd administer a lethal dose of morphine to a terminally ill patient in chronic pain - to get my hands on some Alden jumpers.

Denim - Rogue Territory Chinos - Gustin Work Shirts - tough one. Freenote Cloth for non-denim, Lawless (say what you will but they made a truly amazing denim shirt) for denim. Dress shirts - Taylor Stitch T-shirts - Gustin Boots - Red Wing. But I'd kill to get my hands on some Alden jumpersSocks - Richer Poorer (but I need to try other brands, esp American trench) Jackets - Filson tied with Freenote Cloth Bags - Filson I have no MiUSA knits but I'm eyeing American Trench and Homespun Knitwear Doesn't this violate the hippocratic oath? Hmmmm... I'm trying to understand but maybe my brain finally broke.

It looks like close to spec: Waist: 36" Thigh: 25" Knee: 19" I can only remember wearing them once. Nothing wrong with the denim. Just a matter of too many jeans too little time. If I get any more indigo denim that's where I'll be at too. 3 indigo is more than enough for a couple years.

Yeah, some of the new jackets are pretty adventurous. I'd totally go for the denim riders jacket though if I had the cash.

The only denims I currently have on hand that fit me are my Downtown Browns, Indigogene Crosshatch, and N&F Coffee-dyeds. I will not be making rotation plans until I receive my Gs that I am waiting for and find out if they came within spec. Which gives me an idea. Since the 21s are pretty rare Zimbs, can we make a list of the people who ordered, and what size they ordered. Just in case they sew up small, we can have a list of people who we could possibly buy the denims off of if ours comes in too small. So for example, I bought the 35 slim 21s. In case it sewed up a size or two too small, I'd be interested in purchasing the 21s off of someone who has it in 36 slim or 37 slim. Just so that not everyone is SoL. Great idea. Also got 35 slims.

Still trying to wear out my Zims and finally seeing some decent fades at 10 months and no washes. Will be adding in the Japan 21's when they come. Downtown Browns to switch things up.

Do we need to do something besides say we're in? I don't see these on the site.

Just got the indigo crosshatch WS in. I love the fabric! My fears were confirmed about the contrast stitching though. This would have been perfect with tonal stitching (and a pocket flap). Still, I'm considering keeping it. Didn't someone go over the stitching on one of their work shirts with a pen? I'm considering doing that. What do y'all think? Return or modify? I'd be more concerned about the fact that the right hand pocket is much closer to the centre—and noticeably lower—than the left. Didn't notice that. I'll check it out laying flat tomorrow. I'll be bummed if I have to send it back but relieved too. I really dislike the stitching but this is probably my favorite shirting fabric they've run. They need to brink this fabric back as a button down.

I, personally, think this move is a bit odd. Is there really a demand for Gustin to do underwear? I suppose the American made aspect is a good angle, but what other feature could possibly cause these to stand out and be in demand? If I had to guess I'd say Flint and Tinder going under had a lot to do with it. Filling the void.

Those natural high tops keep tempting me. Think I'll take a flyer--I love the black ones. Best thing I've ever gotten from G. It was a hard decision between the black and naturals. Black would probably be more versatile but maybe if I don't like the naturals when they come I'll exchange them for blacks.

I've been wishing they would do a denim Oxford for a while. Looks like the Black Friday was it. Bummed I missed out. They should have released this as a normal drop.

sorry about the delay launch we did not get the 30 pc minimums to start the shirt program...i made the mistake of tring it with a indigo shirt..which everyone has already.. so we are doing a couple of other fabrics firstt to get to the 30pc minimum... grey denim and a brown denim. we are getting the fabric in next week so i can make up samples to show first before we sell.. then i can combine the orders together to get the 30pc minimums... just remember ..the thread color all has to be the same or it counts as another shirt [ which requires 30pcs ] ie wabash...once i get this started the next one will be the wabash stripe and them the western style in plaid. Cheers Ciano Brown. Denim. Work. Shirt. I f!@king love you. I have been wanting one for a year or two now but Tellason is the only US brand that seems to make one and it's meh. I'm in

Copped the natty high tops. Re-release the damn heavy indigo t shirts, Gustin, so I can be done with you...

They look like Red Wing Iron Ranger Muleskinners. Bingo. One of my best purchases by far.

Seriously considering some Alden's. I really want the jumper boot or a similar cap toe. I'm thinking black for versatility but I love the natural. Anyone have suggestions about where to get them in that or similar style for the best price?

A good pair of boots will probably be my big purchase this year. I love the look of Alden jumper boots and similar styles. I'm going to save up and try to find a non-shell cordovan, black cap toe with some rubber over the leather sole.

I got the Sanded Canvas Mechanics shirt in black from ebay (somebody unloaded a bunch of 42's, this was my only win). I'm not a big black shirt guy, and I'm gonna have to watch this guy for dog hair, but the fit is damn good and I really dig the fabric. For less than $50 shipped, it was a good pickup. And now I'll have to buy the moss. I got the moss from that guy. I thought about grabbing the black too. He had a bunch of great stuff up for really cheap.

No one I can think of. Man, lots of mixed reviews here. I guess it wouldn't be Gustin if it were any different. I decided to wait and see how the first run went before ordering any G footwear. After reading up it looks like I'll be saving for Alden boots and grabbing some Gustin sneaks.

Alright, you convinced me. Btw, if anyone wants to trade their classic large for my slim large, let me know. Mine's not too small but bordering.
