Sorry for this question, i guess the answer should be in one of the 19 pages of this thread but i'm a little bit lazy... I'm interested by the low top sneakers blackXblack but i don't know for the size. Does anyone of you owne a pair of low top ? Can you give me your regulare size in different brand (adidas, converse, nike etc...) and the size you get with gustin. does they worth the price or do you have any advice... Thanx. If you have any other shoes with a Margom sole, these should fit true to that size. Mine have been definitely worth the price for the 2 pair of high tops (black/white and natural). Have a pair of white/green lowtops coming soon.

I bought some off the stock store, and they're ok, sewed up as close to spec as G gets. They are a light grey, relatively thin fabric (take that with a grain of salt, as I've been rocking IH and 17+ oz denim mostly for the past few months), but soft and comfortable. I almost feel like they'd have been better off as chinos, but they're ok as jeans. I can try to take some fit pics for you tonight or tomorrow, if you'd like. I think I ordered them in 37 straight. That would be awesome, much appreciated. CXL brown 1000 miles in there for color comparison. 37 straight, and fit similar to 36 straight, with maybe an extra 1/2"

Those pointy flaps (byproduct of the French cut bikini-esque scoops are just no good for anyone Well, when we're all old and incontinent, we can just button the front flap to the back and use them as old-man onesies.

I am considering the Okayama GreyxGrey. I don't own any Grey and been wanting to try, but can't imagine owning more than one pair, so the question is this the one? I like the swatch shown, but saw that at least one time they ran them the picture was of something else. Anyone with experience? Nice fabric? Did it sew up on spec? Bit small or bit big? Welcome any input as I know they have run this a couple times... I bought some off the stock store, and they're ok, sewed up as close to spec as G gets.

So how far out are we on orders? Who's been waiting the longest? Not trying to yank CF chain, just wondering. I've been waiting for a pair of chinos since November 11th. Something about November orders that just doesn't work out for me. Yeah, I have a pair of chinos from mid-October that I'm waiting for. Called them a couple weeks ago to follow up and make sure they actually got the order and they said they were completed but it'd be a couple more days...I'm sure they're getting killed with all the orders, but still haven't seen the shipping notice yet.

Other thing is, as usual, it is impossible to imagine the final product with just a swatch and without any frame of reference for size other than the wood grain we all "love."

Well, it has somewhat of a grain/rectangular pattern, no? I have a hard time imagining that they will acknowledge that when assembling this shirt. I don't know. Maybe I'm being overly negative, but this shirt looks terrible in my head. I see a subtle pattern now that you mention it. But you'd have to look pretty damn closely at someone's oatmeal seersucker shirt to notice a misalignment, and even if there was a misalignment, of which there probably will be, with it looking that subtle I don't think it'll be a big deal. The big deal is that it's a button down and I don't like MOP buttons on it. Brown would be look much better. Yeah, I agree with the MOP buttons/button-down aspects. I mainly think that everything about the collar (BD, MOP buttons, bunchy fabric, pattern, etc.) are a recipe for disaster. I'm wearing a G OCBD right now (the scoops are tolerable in the tall), so this is not general hate, just this particular fabric screams badness.

Until G makes a shirt out of it--that thing is going to look like a wrinkled blouse with a BDC, and no way will it align correctly. Just thinking about how the collar will sew up makes me a little nauseated. Are these guys just masochists who love hate email? Maybe that's what the surcharge above the cost of their OCBDs is all about. am I missing something? What's going to be misaligned about the oatmeal seersucker? Where's the pattern?

I think the fabric itself looks fine, but have no interest in a seersucker with a button down collar.

That's what I went with, too. Where did you order from? Joenet, via the link that disheveled posted above.

Ok, good! Misread the tone and didn't want to jack your thread. If they come up at some point, I'd def recommend them--Italian-made for $55 is pretty silly--as are these soles.

Sorry, I'll delete my posts--they are totally not contributing to yours. Just saying I was feeling the scotch grain.

Nope. Actually still also waiting for some duck chinos I ordered back in October. I'm sure they'll be worth the wait, but...

Where'd you get your 716s? Also, what size did you end up going with in the 1600s? I got them from joenet (see the link disheveled posted above) and I went XL on the 1600 Did you use a proxy? They instantly pop up a message saying they can't be shipped to the US when I add to my cart. Gonna try anyway, I guess.

received my 716 Chinos today. Luckily for me I was spot on with the size 33, they fit great. They are small in the cuff for my big ass clown feet but they still look good. About as small as I will go at 7.5". I prefer the 707 chinos in that respect but other than that these are great. Love them. Fabric is nice and lightweight for summer which is just what I was looking for. I highly recommend these. the inside of the fabric is black so when you cuff you get a two tone effect which is really cool. Where'd you get your 716s? Also, what size did you end up going with in the 1600s?

They aren't as long and narrow as the 3sixteen apparently are. But if this is the SAME material as the original run of these (which the jury is still out on), they feel like no other t-shirt fabric you've ever felt. The definitely don't feel too warm for spring/summer, IMHO. The texture and feel of them are just super unique. Sturdy, great texture, hold their form well, nice elasticity without being clingy, strong...it's hard to explain but it doesn't feel like regular t-shirt material. Huh! What's life without a good T Shirt? I'm looking into some good colorful tees so these might be good! You're making it sound mystical haha. I cancelled my last two Gustin orders but I don't think I will do for this one. Also kind of want one of the striped ones too. I wonder if I ordered the right size though? I have the regular L tees and they fit fine, a bit loose (22" is the best, they were 23") Oh well. I gotta see how they feel. If I can wear them in summer that'd be AWESOME. I'd stick with the L then. You might get a little shrinkage with a hot wash if you need it, but last campaign these sewed up a tad slimmer than the regular Ts.

If it didn't promise to go rancid this would be a stunning idea. You can hit up your local Hot Topic for plenty of Rancid t-shirts. Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac?

I'm looking at the newly-dropped V-neck Ts on RB, and am having a really hard time deciding whether the width of collar ribbing makes them look like scrub-tops or if it's just me.
