I'm wearing the silk slubs (should be called silk neps) right now and it reminded me to drop in and say this guy is a great seller. I bought five pairs from him and all were brand new as described.

I'll take the indigoxpersimmon and Italy midnight shadow. Can you post measurements and pics for the Japan Union blue and Japan silk slub? Sure. What kind of pics are you looking for? Nothing crazy, just an overall and one closer in natural light. I've never seen a pic of the overall silk slub.

Holy. Shit. What are the odds that a collection like this is in my size?
I'm in for 3-4 of these after I decide which ones. Am I understanding correctly that if it doesn't say slim then it's a straight fit?

I think it's one of the denim-heads grails that one gets on board with and just follows suit. Honestly, it's not appealing to me and the other things we've talked about like delivery time, sizing, etc totally turn me off to it. But obviously, someone is buying them... 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!

I'm sure it has been discussed but holy crap that two tone trucker is turrible. Looks like somebody is revisiting my wardrobe circa 1988.

Hmm.... I'll check at home. I can't tell the scale on the fabric swatch they photographed, but my shirt seems like it has clearer vertical twill lines. The two look significantly different. The problem isn't determining which chambray they shipped for the mystery chambray campaign, the problem is that they didn't ship chambray at all. This right here. It's not a 1x1 chambray weave at all, not even close. It's basically a buttery soft ultra lightweight denim button down shirt, non-selvage.

I wore my Black Friday twillbray yesterday and actually really like the shirt. It looked great with my gray silks and fills a niche for a slightly dressier darker chambray/twill shirt. My only thought is that it would look slightly better with tonal stitching.

Haha, got mine today and it's definitely a twill. I love you Gustin, never change. If there's a creative new way to screw the pooch on QA/QC they will definitely find it. Possibly this fabric? www.weargustin.com/store/2809

So no Rakuten on either of those, right? That makes the bloomies look like a steal. Also, I already know that the G 33/34 slim is money for me on fit. only issue is that it's loomstates, so it's still a big gamble. Right, but I thought that was controllable based on washing and drying temps? Caveat, I have a half dozen raws and no unsanforized to date. My Gustin cone blacks came with serious defects to the point where G gave them to me and they're my beater pair. But I love the black with white weft look and would like a nice pair.

Normally agree, but does IH offer a non tonal, contrast weft black pair of jeans in either sanforized or non sanfo? 634S-blk 555S-blk So no Rakuten on either of those, right? That makes the bloomies look like a steal. Also, I already know that the G 33/34 slim is money for me on fit.

Is custom sleeve length possible on the WS, or is this 100%-standard-only due to the production method? I might be interested in a gray shirt, but the standard sleeves are way short for me. Really? It looks like the M should shrink down to be about the same pit to pit as my Gustin/Lawless/Ironheart work shirts. They're all 22.5-23 pit to pit and roughly 35.5 sleeve. And I'm 6'2" with arms slightly on the longish side.

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 Sounds great! Is the fabric already ordered? This all moves so slowly, do you need an equity partner to help with ordering? I'll happily front fabric money in exchange for shirts. Serious.

I've done plenty of #2 guard in my day, but I'm finding the long hair to be good for business. People seem to remember and like it. Do you sell things in zip loc baggies? Ha, I only look like I'm headed to a dispensary. I just took a drug test (for adoption paperwork) and the doctor doing the physical said, "you know this screening will find marijuana, right?"

Are the Italy Sea Blues the same as Candiani AquaxBlack like lawless used? Anybody have a recommendation for these vs the Japan Union blues? I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe the ISBs are indigo, whereas the JUBs are. I have the JUBs and absolutely love the vintage color, although the fabric is quite coarse--they are a great look if you are in the market for something vintage looking. I've been tempted by the ISBs as well, but then I read a comment about them at some point that was along the lines of "WTF am I doing with teal jeans in my closet?" Haha, my lawless Candiani western shirt is quite teal. I can deal with that in a shirt but that fabric would make some serious clown pants.

I thought we had a thread for this but I can't seem to find it. I've gone a year without a haircut and now have a longish shag thing going that I'd like to get cut into some type of actual style that doesn't require me to move to east Austin with the rest of the hipsters. The hair is wavy brown and I have no balding tendencies so the world is my oyster. Hit me with suggestions.

Also, I'm oddly tempted by the weirdness of that cord color. It's aggressively ugly/strange to the point that it looks like something my dad would have worn in the late '70s. Which then makes me want to rock it.
