I think you are referring to a different offering. I think brentkuz backed the recent one that ended earlier this week, because I was meandering on that one and decide to pass because I have no idea when my Hbones will come in and won't know my proper sizing before it gets locked. I think this is the way it goes. If you buy jeans the right size (no stretch necessary) get your normal size. If you count on stretch, go up one size, keep the same fit. If you want balloon pants, go up one size and one fit.

Just got the shipping notice for my Italy Sky's, and it's 3-4 weeks earlier than expected. That's 2 early in a row.
G seem to be upping their game.

It would be my 3rd dear john letter. And my second. I did start to wonder if the other run of caramel chinos finished so quickly to get some mulligans done without having to send more Dear Johns.

I just backed the recent heavy caramel chinos. I am getting a bit nearvous about the camel herringbones.

"Ship out shortly" should mean hours, not a freakin' week.

So here we are on Friday, just want to ping the group again: has ANYBODY received as much as a shipping notice on their selvedge khakis?
As far as I can find nobody has made it past the "lies on the orders page" stage of production... want to confirm that by "a few" they mean 100% of orders have not shipped.

Just gonna speak from experience here, maybe help some of you keep your blood pressure down, and hopefully assist in keeping this forum from looking like it's turned into "we hate everything but Iron Heart land".
On the Chinos, be happy if you see anything less than four months since the funding date. Anything less than 16 weeks is by far the anomaly, and the communication issues between that shop and Gustin appear to be continuing. On shirts, expect about 6-8 weeks with no updates between funded and shipped -- unless they cut the selvedge off of one of the most unique shirt fabrics they've ever offered, or you get QC'd. On jeans, there's some weird shit hanging around from whatever happened in Oct/Nov, but it seems like most of this has been resolved. Contact Gustin if you've been waiting longer than 12 weeks on jeans (from the funded date, not the date you backed), as this is an anomaly. It's pretty much a unanimous experience that if you contact them directly, they will at least do something to try to make whatever your issue is sting less (unless you approach them with demands, that tends to make them unfriendly and limit your options real quick).

I'm not mad about the delay, it's not as if I'm walking around pant-less until these arrive.
I'm mad about them repeatedly setting false expectations. Better to keep your mouth shut than promise something you can't deliver just because you think it's what people want to hear. Business 101. If you know the shop doing the chinos is flaky or tells you the wrong dates frequently then you should know better to turn around and tell customers those dates. Nowhere did G promise me order updates, and I'd rather not get them than have them be false.
Again, I can wait if things are slow, but I won't continue to do business with you if you tell me a new lie every week about why.

I got mine soon after the campaign closed; assumed this was normal since they do the leather in-house AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure felizuno's was from an earlier offering. They don't ship right after offerings end, they take about a month to produce and ship.

Well today is Friday and still no J17 notice. Now 10 days past the second missed deadline, which was 4 weeks late.
