Certainly looks similar, doesn't it? Having paid a third of the cost of that, I'd say it's close enough. Also, mine is cooler cause it has green snaps and thread. |

Looks similar, but HAS TO BE milled by someone else. PBJ weaves their own fabrics, and they don't sell to manufacturers... Or so I've been told

I'm not complaining either way, it's a great shirt. I will say that it's developing really nicely even after one wash, purples and blues, super soft.. It's gotta be one of my favorite pieces of clothing. |

Well at least it solved! Double cloth. Chambray and twill makes sense.

The Lawless experiment is so incredibly frustrating.. there's so much mismanaged potential at this company. Sure, the trainwreck is entertaining, but when you think about what they could be with wiser management choices it's more of a tragedy.

That's what I thought as well, I hope they learn from this and can bounce back because they do know how to make a good pair of jeans. |

Well some good news, Got my order in #345 and they are great. Can't find anything wrong with them, an absolute steal at 47 dollars. They threw in a free card wallet for the wait, 6 months is nuts but I'm glad I pulled the trigger half a year ago. Little tight on the leg but I just put them on, waist is perfect. These are the 18.5 oz with brown thread in 35 slim straight, I'm a 34 slim in Gustin. Look great. What does the waist measure? Am curious how their sizing translates. |

17.5 pulled tight, so on spec. Thighs are a little tight but I'm sure they will stretch.

Great to see both an arrival and an order that actually arrived as was ordered. Looks like a win.

I'm a 33 Gustin slim though they're fitting a little tight these days. I too ordered 35 slim straight so assuming I ever get them I hope they're not too big.

Wore my indigo twill chambray (the mystery fabric no one really ordered instead they just sent it to us)
Honest review.
The fabric is very cool but I wanted chambray.
Snaps are still cheesy
Forearms are tight
Neck for a size large is like a 15.5" I can't button the top button not that I wanted too but still.
Pockets are lopsided and it looks silly
The fabric pull in the middle of the shirt sticks out like a sore thumb.
It's my cheapo trashy shirt.

I them washed it on delicate and man did it turn the water blue seems one solid wash is all it needs to settle the dye. I'm gonna wash this every other wear. Maybe if I wash it enough it will fix the lopsided pockets. |

It's an easy and inexpensive alteration. |

Order 311
1 x 18.5 oz. Kuroki Mills Indigo Selvedge Men's Jeans
(Fit: Straight Leg, Waist: 37, Inseam (inches): 32, Hardware: Brass, Thread Color: Egyptian Topez, Denim Tag: LD& CO. , Jeans Fly: Zip Fly, Pocket Liner: Yellow Canvas, Chain-Stitch Hem: Double Chain-Stitch Hem)
1 x 12 oz. Cone Mills Indigo Double Selvedge Men's Jeans
(Fit: Straight Leg, Waist: 37, Inseam (inches): 33, Hardware: Copper, Thread Color: Red, Denim Tag: LD& CO. , Jeans Fly: Button Fly, Pocket Liner: Red Canvas, Chain-Stitch Hem: Double Chain-Stitch Hem)
My first order arrived today. The only item out of specs was the custom rise but given LDs recent mass mail I was not surprised. It will be interesting to see if any early free custom size options are honored
Overall I'd say the quality is very good.
Likes - the pocket bags and liners, extra belt loop, double stitch on waistband.
Dislikes - the triple stitch inseam (double would match the waistband and hem)
The 18.5oz pair I like and will wear. The fabric shows a lot of weft and has a nice texture.
The 12 oz pair are lighter weight than I am used to and is kind of boring. The red thread was a poor choice by me. If it were darker red it would be better looking. I doubt I'll wear these.
They included a black leather keychain. Quality is good but not great.
This order was to have been canceled and refunded per Kayla. Obviously didn't happen. Hand written note thanking me for my patience and support with a smiley face signature. Oh that's so cute!
