Got my Beckett simonon white low top leather sneakers. Sized down to 10 and they fit perfectly. The heel is not stabby either.
Came with white product stuff that has foreign words on it, shoehorn, black insole pads, and two bags... To put your shoes in separately or something.
Their last email said to condition them once a month with I assume the white foreign worded product stuff. Maybe I'll use the product on my Stan smith's too.
Anyways they seem pretty cool

I remeasured the thighs and 11 1/2" when I stretch em the tightest so actually pretty close to in spec. Thanks Benjamin
No the 23oz do not stand up on their own. I personally can't tell the difference between 21 and 23 Oz yet.
I'm pretty tall and lanky. I've been biking less because I don't want bigger thighs. I couldn't go any tighter than 11 1/2" thighs without causing pain. I could lose 15 lbs tho as soon as I cut back on carbs and beer

Got my custom 23oz Indigos from ciano today! Ordered them in January
They have a thick veg tan patch like my Gustin j21s, and lots of other nice details like "signature taped seams," half lined back pockets, hidden rivets, and a selvedge coin pocket. Another big plus is that I can actually use the front pockets!
Starch is pretty thick. I ordered them to fit like comfy skinny jeans. Behind my knees feels like something mean. I should have ordered a bigger back rise yet I can dig my plumber's crack. The only measurement out of spec were the thighs by about 1/2 an inch under (ordered 11 7/8", and measured 11 1/4"). Not a big deal to me because I wanted skinny jeans and they still fit fine. It could be I'm just bad at measuring thighs tho. The cuffs are in spec that were out of spec on the fit sample.
Overall 10/10. Love em.

Kind of tempted by the Horween Dublin I was about to back the horween sneakers and at the last second I decided I didn't care for the gum sole on em

Sounds like they might be dyed to their core if there's no fades

How do you guys wash the indigo tees? Alone in the wash? I'm going to handwash mine

Got the I. ndigo tee. It's about half inch under spec in the shoulders. Anyone able to weight in on if this is the same nice yarn from the first run? Are talking about the Heavy Weight T? Yeh

yep, the nep is a bit overload. it's also only 10oz. Too much texture for me. The contrasting nep color looks a little like somebody rolled the denim in a pile of pocket lint. They look like fancy pants to me

Anyone recommend the horween bifold wallets? On the fence A brown cxl bifold was my first G purchase almost 2 years ago. It held fewer cards than my old one so I had to edit what to carry in my wallet but that is a good thing. Stitching remains tight, leather has loosened up nicely. Cxl stretches to accomodate whatever you stuff in there. It's only going to get better with time. So yeah I do thinwk they are a good value. Cool. I'm looking at the 2 colored one with black on the inside which I don't know about yet. Lots of room in that guy

Gustin Japan true - a truly poor name True dat. It's also an utterly unremarkable selvedge denim. It's superbly woven

Got the Heavyweight Indigo Tee in today in size Large. I really like it and I'm glad I sized up as this is a relatively thick/coarse-feeling tee with less give. Shoulders fit spot-on, which is the most important thing for me. The sleeves could be a touch wider/longer and the chest is a bit loose, but it'll hopefully shrink after a hot wash. Regardless, I'm bulking, so it works out well. Here's personal measurements: Chest (1" under pit): 22.5" Sleeve: 8.25" Front body length: 27.5" Shoulder: 17.5" Comparing that with Gustin's fit guide, the chest is 0.5" wider and the shoulder is 0.5" smaller. Are the shoulders under spec?

How much is a good amount to buy for 2 or 3 jackets or pants?
Is it best not to wash kakishibu items very often to keep the coating from going away?

I backed both the pine oil washed tee and the faded black oil washed tee. I'll go after the oil washed ts if they put em in a 3 pack The western short sleeves look interesting except I'd prefer an interesting fabric or denim than the twill or chambray

I just got my large top. It was the tan coverall jacket. I like it, but was really hoping for the orange one. Such is the crapshoot though. I got one now too. I'm going to take the stitching out of the lower right big pocket because the pocket is divided in two for some awkward reason

I rolled the dice. Tan coverall jacket sounds nice

this is what we are talking about cassaruby. I love V necks, but they can only go so deep. Is it just the dudes face and smile? If it was an actual color and a deep crew neck I'd try it

What's with the douche insecurity? V necks and rolled up sleeves don't always mean that. I'd love to find a t-shirt with a giant crew scoop instead of a giant v neck myself. Tan my chest a little out here in Tucson I think they're referring to the navel gazing versions from a year or so ago. Oh my bad if that's the case. Don't want to be a douche

Got J21s today. Waist is at least half inch under spec. These buttons are tuff. I think I'll give em ago even if I can only get 2 buttons on so far. Time to lose some weight
Edit: cuff length is normal on mine with just a single cuff. I'm thinking when I soak these 6 months down the road or so I won't have a cuff left
Got third button on but no way on the last one yet
Question: anyone with the J21s and another Zimbabwe cotton. Do they feel like the same cotton?
Edit 2: got the final button on and stretched the waist out to about 34.5" and they are good to go. I have a blister on my thumb from working the buttons through the thick holes
The veg patch on these is awesome. It's like 3x the size of my other Gs and looks like a shimmy of wood

Cheers Ciano Could this affect quality or will it remain the same?
