What Gustin deliveries are you waiting for?

So I received two items from Gustin yesterday that represent the good and the frustrating of my relationship with the company - my raw umber and the rustic green twill. First the good, the raw umber came out very nicely. I went with 31 slims instead of my usual 30 straights and I think I found a better fit for me. 1/2 inch over spec in the waist, knee and hem. Thigh and rise spot on. Really, perfect fit for me, well sewn and I like the color. Also, my first italian denim, so that's a plus as well.

Now the shirt... I won't get into all of the details because I don't want this to be a rant. But this is a plaid, and there's nothing sewn straight on this shirt. The stitching and alignment of the plaid are all off. This is where I feel insulted as a customer, with Gustin telling me that they are sticklers for quality and that this is equivalent to a 200-300 dollar shirt. It's nothing's of the sort, and it frustrates me to no end that Gustin would even ship such a thing to me. I'd rather they just told me, "sorry, the shirt didn't pass QC, here's a refund". It's a shame because I love the fabric, and the slim medium size fits me perfectly. Anyway, I e-mailed Cody and Ren so hopefully this will be in the mail back to Gusin this week.

I'm worried about having a similar fate. My beasts, which used to fit comfortably, are now snug throughout the waist and thighs. That workout lives up to the hype. Just wish I had discovered it earlier in life, and before buying my current wardrobe

I'm in that exact same boat wisdom. My Beasts don't even come close to fitting anymore, thinking of selling them. None of my L GUSTIN shirts fit anymore either. It's a bummer because the Black Brown flannel looks great with the Raw Umbers.

Hey.. among the many upsides of the workout. My wife actually likes how the clothes fit a bit tighter on me now

Ummm... I don't want to get bigger because this is not the look that I am going for. I will still try for the new workout plan but will pay close attention to my size.

If you don't want to get bigger, check your diet.  You won't get bigger unless you eat more.  With that said, workouts like MattIckes presented has greater energy needs than say a basic 3x5 workout, so you will probably eat more on that kind of workout because you have to.  If you don't want to get bigger, then stick to a basic 3 day a week workout, where you alternate workout A and workout B.  Starting Strength isn't a bad one, or a 3x5 version of Stronglifts.  On off days, eat at a deficit or at maintenance level, and on on days, consume more calories.  You can't get bigger without eating at a major surplus.

My rustic green twill is also going back this week. The chest is two inches smaller around than it was supposed to be. The stitching is mostly straight though. Mostly.

My Zim18's have been shipped!!! Should arrive in Sydney before Christmas...

Mine shipped as well! I've been looking forward to this pair the most.

Not sure what happened to G's original schedules for shipping...or even the disappearance of the more recent timeframes. Several members have posted re. ongoing delays & some were a little cranky, others philosophical. Dunno. I backed SakeBomber workshirt (still no shipping notice for this) earlier than the Zim18's - my main interest - so I'm stoked they're finally en route.

I have a natural cxl nato strap that was too long for me as well. I trimmed mine by tracing a nickel with a sharp xacto to get a nice shape.

I trust your judgement
