1. Looomstates BC after soak they fit great and the fabric is amazing. Its slubby and f!@ked up and really nice to touch. 2. IndyxIndy BC I actually needed a black pair of pants and theese are black. I also like wax coating, and they are developing a sheen ala Nudie wax-coated, not as extreme but some. They are also good weight and starched like hell so the say "flopp" when putting on and talking off. A plus in my book. They also fit and look great. 3. Khaki chinos. BC Im not drunk...well ok im drunk but still, I never thought I would ever buy a chino pant in my life being a "hardrocker" most of my life with worn out leather jackets and badly repaired jeans, pairing this with long hair and snakeskinboots Im not really the chino target audience. Well I had to change job from a chef to IT-Security advicer and happened to stumble into the biggest and greatest IT-company in my country. Suddenly I had quadrupled my hourle income, but I also had to make some changes in the wardrobe bcause im frequently out in customer meetings telling them they need to buy stuff for many millions. For some of theese meeting the chinos are great together with a shirt. They are actually extremely nice, the fabric is totally super and really it makes all my other chinos look like shit, and they cost less. 4. The Naturals BC They are unusual and special. I have never seen anything like it. They arent white, they are ....natural. And the selvadge has the color of my countries flag so I wear them on national day and such  |

Can we have some pics . I mean as we all know Gustin likes to put cartoon drawings of their offerings so some of us would like to see finished prod Definitely one of the pet peeves I have at the moment. There's no excuse to not have a shot of an already ran product... They should be offering store credit for customers in pictures too. Wore my freshly washed zimbs. The fades are incredible, but these are so lightly starched all the starch is gone. Need to figure that one out. I'll try to get pictures later - all the soft light in my apartment makes it hard. |

Blimey, tricky one. I'm very attached to my green wefts, as they were the first I bought. Buuuut, my Zimbys are something else. Soft and wearable out of the bag and a fantastic colour overall. That said, the Okies are a close second, and I have a pair of Jades and black x coals on the way, so the field is wide open and probably will be for the foreseeable future...

For me, I picked up a pair of "Overdyes" during the Kickstarter campaign.... Love'em 14oz but super tight weave (a plus for fading/creases), feels like a 18oz pair I have from IH. Very dark blue, but after about a half a year of actual wear, the electric blue fades are coming through and looking pretty badass, I'll have to post some pics after I do my second wash. Not sure if Gustin has offered these since kickstarter but they're my go to pair, over a bunch of other denim I have that had cost 2-3 times the price I paid for the OD's

I like the look of those. I have been so unfortunate that everytime tghey are offered I have had no funds or backed too much other things already. If they are almost like normal blue but with that cool deadstock look (green tint) then they will look good imho. |

I have the Dark, 16ers, super lights, black x aqua, and grey silks. I love them all for different reasons.
The 16ers I like because of the heavier weight and traditional look.
super lights because of the light weight, they're great for summer yet still have a traditional look.
black x aqua...I like these because of their versatility, they can be dressed up or down.
The Silks I like because they're different, versatile, and just plain good looking jeans.
The Darks i like because of the tight weave and really dark indigo.
I have worn the 16ers the most, though I don't have a favorite pair

I've got the following: Darks Heavies Blacks (Contrast Stitching from KS) Super Heavy Slubs Grey Silks Grey x Blacks Grey x Black Herringbones Natural Indigo x Persimmons 26oz Beasts Downtown Browns (on the way) ..wow, didn't realize I had so many until I listed 'em out. If I could only have one pair, I'd probably go with the Natural Indigo x Persimmons with the beasts a close second. The persimmon show-through is just so unique and almost mesmerizing.. especially since the fabric is only slightly crisp and still moves enough to give it an almost scintillating appearance. If you let me answer situationally (trying to have my cake and eat it, too), they are as follows: Formal - Grey x Black Herringbone - I'm trying to convince my wife that I can get away with it  Business Casual - Grey Silk (though I think DTB's will give 'em a run for their money when they arrive) Heavyweight - 26oz Beasts All Weather - Blacks Lightweight - Natural Indigo x Persimmon ..I guess I'm like a lot of you guys. It's probably easier to list the ones I'm not too married to. The dark's never really did it for me.. the tight weave makes them look a bit too inky and characterless for my tastes. Some people love 'em though, and ALL of my Gustins have gotten compliments, including the Darks. For those of you interested (TMI alert) the Darks and Indigo x Persimmons have attracted unsolicited ass pinches. I think lighter fabric has something to do with it. -\Visdom |

Just got the Japan One Three which are awesome. I'm really excited for the organics and super slub brown. Both unique. We will see!

Loomstates.
Either you know why, or you will find out when the ones your ordered from the recent campaign arrive.
If you didn't order a pair, don't miss the boat the next time around.

Raw Umbers for the win, in my book. Brown denim is far more versatile and I have yet to find anything casual that I can't really wear them with

I actually find it hard to match stuff with brown and this is why I havent gotten any brown Gustins. I have a pair brown h-bone wranglers and never use them. They are dark tho. I dont think my darker blue tops match them. I also dont think a japan blue oxford would look better with the brown pants then with normal dark selvadge? Maybe I dont get it...Do you have pics |

I've got
Oxbloods
Oxblood2s
Zimbabwe
Okayama GreyXGrey
and at this point, I have to go with the GreyXGrey. The color is just amazing and the fabric feels amazing. Both Oxbloods have fits that are a little off (Oxs: a little small, Ox2s: a little large), which makes me hesitate as well as the fact that they require some outfit planning. The Zims are also amazing but grey pairs better with the work wardrobe.
I've got The Heavyweight and Brown Organic on the way and it may be that the Brown Organic gets the nod if they come in on spec.

I'm posting from my phone which apparently doesn't give me full functionality My anticipation level for getting my Raw Umbers just went up like a kajillion, uh, anticipation units. They look way cooler in that shot than in any of Gustin's product photos. This seems to be true of all their brown denims, strangely. |

Oops.... Too many brown denims..... Those were my Taupes. But, from someone who has all of the brown G's (except Downtown Browns and Brown x Black herringbones), there really is not MUCH difference between the lot
