So I go to my mailbox today and there's a package from Gustin in there. I'm thinking ...this is weird..I haven't ordered anything in ages..nothing is due to come to me. So I open it up and it's a gift.    Hand written note from Ren and a free T shirt. It's a nice oatmeal/off white/cream colored organic cotton T shirt. This was a really cool gesture that I wanted to share. Very classy on Gustins part . By the way...I am really damn impressed by the T. The fabric feels great and I was very pleasantly surprised by the fit. They sent me an XL and the chest, arms, and shoulders fit great but it's a touch too long and pretty boxy in the torso but I think a Large might be perfect. I'm going to actually pick up a three pack now with my store credit. Very pleasantly surprised by their Ts |

Gustin t-shirts are really good value. My go to basic. Waiting on a couple of heavyweights (9oz & 10oz) as well; as my only complaint for the standard $13 ones are that they're perhaps not as heavy as they could be.
But yeah, that's a class move.

My only gripe with the t shirts is the neck tag. Maybe I have a sensitive neck but they bug the crap out of me. Don't get me wrong it is easy to snip off but still I wonder why they must put a tag on the back when most other brands have moved to screen printing logos there.

But yeah, that's a class move. how did you size yours? Went for a medium. Was a bit worried at first as the measurements suggested quite a boxy fit, though overall it works well. Would prefer them to be an inch or so longer but can't complain! I used to buy Real McCoys 2-packs for $70 dollars through Rakuten; quality is on par with Gustin (standard 5oz). |

They are a bit boxy but it's hard for me to find a T shirt these days that fits me in in the shoulders, arms, and chest that isn't boxy in my midsection. So a boxy T doesn't really bother me. I'm curios what the weight is of the T shirt they sent me. It's not exactly thin..

Think I figured it out...I think the one they sent me is the Vanilla organic cotton tee (5oz) that's up in the store right now in the variety three pack #13. The organic cotton feels really nice I must say.

Think I'm going to cop the Variety Pack #1 (black, white, heather grey). I'd like to cop some of the heavier weight ones that bruns is talking about too. |

More buttery than inorganic cotton? More buttery AND more gauze like all at the same time. It's crazy I tell ya. |

Is it like being wrapped in organic gauze? Do you feel like a stylish burn victim?

LOL...totally! That was exactly my first thought when I tried on my Gustin T...."Holy crap I feel like a stylish burn victim.."

What kind of shrinkage is everybody getting on these T's? I've had zero with cold wash and hang dry on all four tees I've purchased. Edit: that said my Heather Grey tee fits smaller and differently than my black tee. But it always has. I think the black tees were sewn up wrong as they were a stock store order |

They sent me a heather grey logo t, also in an XL. I think the general idea they're giving me is that it's a good idea to size up one. Since the thing fits like a mini-dress (looooong) I'm gonna have to give it a warm wash, prolly warm dry, I'll let you know what happens. |

I'm probably going to do the same with mine as it is long and a bit billowy in the midsection as well..but fits damn good up top. |

It's interesting to see people talk about the length. How tall are you guys? I'm 5'8 and my heather mediums fit me perfectly in length. My black tees are a tiny bit long, but not bad, and they're speced more like a large anyway in thr chest etc.
I would suspect that if you're not taller, but need a larger size, you'll run into length issues.

The XL tee (out of the bag) is a little bit too big in most respects (to be worn as an undershirt), as I can wear it over another shirt, hence the warm wash and dry. I'm a little shy of 5'11 and weigh about 18 more pounds than I should. |

I'm 6 feet and the XL is just a bit too long...not terrible...I could still wear it....and I think the width in the waist might make it feel or appear longer too. |

I just wear them with a pair of denim or some shorts (since its 100 degrees with a million percent humidity here right now) |

What kind of shrinkage is everybody getting on these T's? I haven't had any shrinkage in mine and they have been washed a lot in warm and cold washes and dried on low in dry. I hot washed and low dried a couple of my white ones with no noticeable shrinkage as well. I'm 6'2" 185# and wear a large t shirt |
