Anyone seen any recent movement on heavyweight indigo or oil-washed tees? It's the middle of the month and I'm shirtless. Got a shipping notice on the indigo today. Sweet. Was just starting to worry they fell down the memory hole. |

A wise man once told me "it's best to order it and forget it."  Heh. That was probably me. I'm just looking forward to it, though these 100 degree days in Colorado won't offer much time to wear it. I think oily pine is due tomorrow or Thursday, so at least I'll finally have a shirt to wear.  |

Oil washed pine shirt showed up today. Heh. It looks wet and dirty, though I don't know what I'd expect from an oil wash. How do you like it now that you've got in in hand? |

Aw dammit, I would have cancelled my orders if I knew they'd look as grimy as they do. Hopefully he tells us they're amazing in person to make me feel better.

Looks like my oil wash will be getting a wash right out the box.

How do you like it now that you've got in in hand? just when I think G can't top themselves in the fugly department they go and release something even fuglier. that shirt color is so blah. I mean, you'd fit in at a Green Lantern convention but still |

My oily pine arrived today. I like the look of it in person, and I'm curious what it will do after a wash. It's definitely getting washed by itself first time around. I don't think sharing any more pictures of it is going to sway anyone towards it, though. It looks sort of like a waxed t-shirt.

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? |

I don't think sharing any more pictures of it is going to sway anyone towards it, though. It looks sort of like a waxed t-shirt. That's a good way to describe the look, it kinda *looks* like a waxed t-shirt in the way the coloring/fading shows, but the actual feel is more like the slub T-shirt material. It's not a heavy fabric. |

I dunno man. I just laugh at myself cause I don't know what else I would expect from an oil washed garment. I didn't think of the ramifications of such a process. It is a unique look, and I really like the color. It's a unique look, I like the shirt, so I thought it was funny when I started thinking about it. Depending on what it does in the wash, I'd probably sign up for the black one or potentially other colors. If it forever smells like I make money as a fry-cook, I'm sure I'll change my opinion. |

Got a shipping notice on the indigo today. Sweet. Was just starting to worry they fell down the memory hole. When did you guys back it? ( wavesbeneath as well). I backed the first run (I think) of the 2 from March. Backed it On 3/17 ....and it funded on 3/28. So, 3 months ago. My status is still from 5/20, saying they should ship mid-june. I'm no newbie to G's ways (well over 50 orders. ack).... so I'm not shocked. But, c'mon.  |

Not too impressed. I like the color variation on the shirt and the fit (thought around the Arms!) but it wasn't soft like my Nayional Athletic Goods shirt. Anyways, this will probably be my last buy at Gustin in a while. The only thing I really want from them are their boots, but then there are so many other options. |

Got my oil washed. Lord G is getting another email from me.
They kept this one in the park. It's a size small. F that.
Sex tight on the arms and I'm not a lifter by any means.

I posted the fund date on my campaign a few posts up, but I think this is the same company that they said was difficult to work with supplying this fabric, so I think it just took longer. I think we were in the same campaign. edit: Mine funded 3/29, so I'm assuming you were crew since I am vee. |

They also seem to have taken a page from early Ferrari's book on the boots. You can have any color you want as long as it's brown. I imagine they'll get back to them as we get closer to a winter/spring ship date, though. |
