Ahhhhhhhh shit I f'ed up the dye. Military graphite chinos are promoted to beaters for farming
Edit: I dried them further and they fit so perfectly. I'm not discouraged because they are thick and comfortable. No formalness left tho just work

For anyone who just received the military graphite chinos, what color shoes will you wear with them? Black, brown... both? I'll wear mine with light brown boots, red brown boots or whatever sneakers I want Gonna wash mine in hot water and dry em pretty warm and hope they shrink half a size. Then get em hemmed somewhere Any recommended tailors in Tucson?

My jeans were stretched at the waist and seems to be why they're out of spec. They were like this before I started wearing em in.
Far as I know Gustin takes returns as long as they don't seem worn (creases behind knees prolly wouldn't fly)

Because that would be admitting that they use returns in the stock store which they claim they don't do. They do? I don't recall them claiming that. Surely they must resell them somehow? Don't know where you get that. Pretty sure they told me in email they resell returns

I'm gonna keep the greenlines. This might sound offensive but I can do taichi in them. They are that roomy yet I couldn't imagine a tighter fit to be flexible in.
Come to me powder blue selvedge chambray & Japan taupe. I'm getting shirt in classic medium and jeans in 34 skinnys.
I emailed G and they said pics of shirt were off as the color was powder blue and not the deeper Indigo. I'm really attracted to the weight and price

After spending a few thousand in Gustin gear my one bit of advice is "when in doubt size up" board line In-between sizes or sewing up small it's been better for me to size up. I'm looking at the organic jutes. Concerned about going 34 slims but I heard these sewed small. Does the jute stretch much? Would go for 33s if they did. Any advice?

Those are measurements before wearing them in. Just got em today and emailed Gustin before posting here.
I am following Gustins fit guide. The rise on the greenlines is a little over 10.
My apcs measure just under 35 waist, 9.5-10 front rise, under 21 thigh, over 16-16.5 knee, and over 14 cuff according to Gustin fit guide (multiplied waist, thigh, knee, and cuff by 2)
I think my knee measurement might make it hard for me to wear skinnys
Edit: I have not tried the 34 skinnys but I am considering it. 33 skinnys would crunch my shins and I don't know how knee/shin area stretches. Anyone know? 34 skinnys would be safer but be loose in the waist

This might be off topic but everyone's talking sizing lately.
I originally backed blackxblack 32 skinnys and when I got them they were not happening. The waist was prolly a size to small and the top button popped off (I wasn't that ruff either). I remember either the thighs or shins were way tight too. I returned em.
I since learned how to start measuring myself. My perfect fit 4 year old apc new standards measure 17.5 across the waist. My thighs measure like 10.5 maybe 11 across (2 inches down from crotch).
So I ordered 33 slim greenlines from stock. They measure a little over 17.5 across the waist and a little under 11.5 in the thigh. They are not snug in either the waist or the thigh. I just bought some j crew 32 slim corduroys that are slimmer.
Are the measurements off on my greenlines or my blackxblack, or is there a more appropriate fit for me? I'm hoping for a 17 inch across waist that fits snuggly and stretches out and thighs that don't feel relaxed fit. The greenlines are the biggest fitting pants compared to any other in my wardrobe.

Do you think that the powder blue 8.5oz selvedge chambray will be the blue in the photo? It says light blue yet the pic looks deeper with lots of white
