Received my denim grab bag a few days back, and I still have no idea which denim it is. And it kinda irks me that it says Gustin doesn't sell seconds, and that the grab bag is not returnable, but this grab bag is clearly flawed. The number attached is not the denim that it is, and it has the size label cut out with a 35 written in the warp with a pen. It also has loose stitching, and looks like someone did a stitch job after it was returned (this was clearly a return, no doubt about it). They took back the Zimbabwe Loomstates I bought from the Stock Store even though it said no returns, but they were waaaaaaaay under spec. I mean, I get Grab Bag, but that is shoddy AF. |

exophobe: I'm pretty sure these are the Indigo Cheese Dye. imgur.com/a/BL9AIAn attached tag says #183, but Googling that brings me to the Japan Vintage Chambray. But right below it is the Indigo Cheese Dye.

Damn, you got the Zloomies as a grab bag? |

Damn, you got the Zloomies as a grab bag? No, just regular Stock Store, but it said no returns in the description because of being unsanforized. I was talking about your Grab Bag: I get that the Grab Bag is a Grab Bag but that's ridiculous of them to send out something as janky as what you described and be like "buyer beware" |

Not sure if it's open for all, but accidentally clicked on an older bookmark to the stock store and it let me in (normally it kicks me back out to the main store). Nice shirt options. Not a whole lot of new denim. Options if you've got an itch.

Stock store worked for me. There were plenty of denim offerings for me, including the Okayamas, Japan Viridian, American Standards and quite a few more. So so tempting

Well despite negative feedback, I just ordered a shirt grab bag in classic medium. Here's hoping it's a good one.

Loved the heavy indigo crew so much I ordered the v neck. I ordered a large instead of my medium just to see the fit difference. I seemed to get a small large because it was basically a slightly larger medium . This is like hitting the jackpot for me because I love how both fit. It would suck if you were expecting a large though. Either way heavy t shirts are nice.

I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with this. I don't spend much time on Gustin's website, but today I noticed that one of the store's sections was "SALE". I was surprised to see that but I thought they added the link to filter the black friday deals. When I clicked on it, I learned that it was the stock store.
So I thought I'd check to see if there was anything in my size and there was - it was the jute/cotton blend (#257), which is probably the one Gustin denim I'm interested in now! However, the price is $109 even though their description says "All this beauty for $99 is real value".
Does Gustin always increase the prices for in-stock items? Do you think their reason is that you have to pay a premium for not waiting several months?

Do you think their reason is that you have to pay a premium for not waiting several months? yeah, you'll typically see a slightly higher price on items in the stock store. i thought it used to be $5, perhaps it has increased over time. they initially told some of us that the price was to offset the cost of the service they use to store the goods and process the orders. |

Ahhh. OK thanks. I got excited when I saw it but if I really wanted it, I would have bought it for $99 when it first dropped. Prices increases discourage me rather than encourage me.

I got mine for $118. Happened with the Horween Tote earlier this year where they had it for $100 more expensive than they normally were. |

And if 33 slim is your size, I'd snap that up immediately because I believe that's the return I did last week, and it was within spec.

Beware of that jute blend. I just sent my 34 slims back...those are sewing up almost one size smaller.

I paid $109 shipped for the raw umber in October 2013. I ordered a pair about a month ago that was marked down to $70-75, only to get the message from Ren that it was sold out. So 214 is just dumb. |
