Just commissioned a pair of chinos in 9.5 oz chambray with a zip fly because my current hatred level for button fly chinos is pretty high. Hoping for a quick turnaround for summer wear. Any idea what his current wait time is...

Sorry for creating a new thread but just could not seem to find a good place to post this.
Is my memory shot or did someone post a while back about commissioning a custom pair of jeans in Brooklyn....thought there were some pics also....but maybe it was reddit...thanks if you remember...and yes i could not find anything with a search

Strong agreeance on edit 2. I've debated trying them before, but haven't committed to the five pocket cut. ive eyed them a while myself..was put off by the rise though...looks and measures a wee bit short for me....

received new Jack shirt. Fit in arms, chest and neck are spot on. Shirt length is 2-3" longer than any other Jack i have and the tails are reminiscent of a Gustin dick curtain. I asked about it over on SF, albeit in a more civilized way. I guess this will be an office shirt, unless i can draw it up some. Yeah, the last US Jack I bought was a full size larger than any of my others, and longer. Same here. I put mine up for sale in the forum. This 46 not very close to my prior one

[/quote] I have the canvas and love them. Only bad part is two buttons falling off them on the very first wear. [/quote]
Isnt that the Gustin standard build quality...lol

Well for the first time in a year I'm actually curious about a New drop. Both the indigos out today look very nice. Anyone have any thoughts

The warmer the shorter @untucked , but have been noted to still go short in the heart of winter. at bentin 's request I'll try to get involved. TS Sundown shirt Shockoe's discontinued classic kojima (least i think they stopped making this cut)
*edit* should maybe make the bed next time i hope not the shockoe classic is on my short list to try....hopefully not

Anyone have any thoughts about the 10oz preorder. They look nice in the pics but I just can't seem to visualize what a grey weft would look like in person and down the road a bit Also if anyone has any experience with the 13.5 Japanese organic please let me know. Someone on Reddit indicated they had a touch of spandex. Which may be heresy to some but I'd like to have one stretch for my rotation I'm buying a pair. I really like the color and only have 2 light pairs. I'd also like to see if the slims straight fit works for me in Bravestar Jeans. I have been waiting for them to re release some in slim taper but have a suspicion they have been having issues with those. Just guessing since I have not seen them offered in some time. bravestarselvage.com/products/the-slim-straight-11-5oz-cone-mills-selvage?variant=28107660037You think the 10oz is lighter color than typical selvedge?

I really dislike my gustin tees. Cheap cheap feel and look like shit after a wash. Don't even think they are worth five

Kirk. Those look great. I was thinking about the straight leg version bc the indigo shrimp review indicated a decent rise close to 12 on a 34-36. But the denimo site has the rise much shorter.

Did my fitting and wow - not sure I ever want to get jeans from elsewhere again, unless we're talking about a super unique fabric. Fit exactly like I wanted - low front rise with enough back rise that there's no plumbers crack, bit of room but not too much in the top block, tapered gently. That I can nail my exact fit (at a very reasonable price, with the jeans being handmade) is really awesome. If you're anywhere around NYC, highest recommendation for your next pair. Awesome How does it work. Do they have a walk in to take measurements ?

Really intrigued by the new Tapered Selvage Cramerton in coal. $89 pre-order this weekend! Available here. These look great. I like my khaki chinos so much. Looking forward to warmer weather so I can wear them a bit more. Don't think I'm in on these right now, maybe down the road though. Not crazy about the selvedge line on the coin pocket. Looks a little out of place. i said this a few months back when first hinted at but colors to me means...navy or sky blue, different shades of khaki, brown etc....no offense to anyone but black is for waiters....and the grey is well....sorta questionable...

Yeah, I use my LF as undershirts, so the big head hole isn't as big of a deal, but it is an odd size. I don't get the huge head home either Really odd The only one I'm enjoying now is the welcome stranger plain Heavy as heck and has a proper neck circumference

I've gotten their shits - i like em, kinda a different cut (not gustin-esque dick curtains, but almost) Same here.... Despite my closet full of brands discussed here I've yet to find the ideal one....literally I think the best one may be the last gap v next I bought Price seems to have minimal correlation with quality For example: left field tube tee. Awesome but neck to big Lady white Henley stretched wideeee gustin is just shitty all around Pistol lake. Excellent but between a l and XL
