Gustin - New Drops

I'm wondering the same if it will look odd because of the fades in patches.

Even they feel its to long and have let it (or made it) curl up. Happened a bit with my Postal after a hot soak.

Yeah, people can see the same thing from my last fit picture of the HS Work Shirt. Tried to iron it flat but it is keeping curl up... not looking very good.

ickes, I agree. The colour looks really cool. The only thing holding me back is the weight... 13oz+ is my sweet spot.

i'm not sure how you come to that conclusion. of the last 20 non-workshirts offered:

9: $79 or less
3: $89 or less
4: $99 or less
4: $109 or less

3 of the 4 over $100 were indigo dyed, which has tended to add to the price in each case. no idea why the new slub chambray is priced higher, but i don't know that it's definitive enough to say that $109 is the new price point

What on earth does dead stock denim mean? I know deadstock in expensive sneakerhead terms means brand new, but to the best of my knowledge, most denim is uhh... new... you know?

It's the same as with trainers/sneakers.

'Deadstock' originally meant (and still does) that the shoe is no longer available at retail as all stock has been exhausted and there is no restocking is expected. The stock has come to an end, so you can't just go online or into a shop and pick the item up at retail price. As is the way with such things, it also tends to imply that you may well have to pay higher than retail in order to buy the item in future.

As time's gone on it's become a bit confusing, as some use the term to also refer to an item as being brand new, unworn, in its original box/packaging (with all/any extras), in the same original state as from the manufacturer and hasn't touched the floor.

And as time's gone on further - and with the 'help' of eBay - it's come to mean whatever the seller wants it to mean...

But, when Gustin use it in this case it means the same thing: brand new denim, as delivered from the mill, which is the last available quantity of that particular denim.

In essence, it really means that if you want to own those jeans in that fabric, your best bet is to buy them there and then because your only alternative, once this run is sold-out, will be chancing your arm on the second-hand/resale market (which could end up attracting a premium). It's a little bit of good old FUD.

Anybody else cop the Japan Union Blues? I backed a pair and went slim with them. I really really like the shade of blue. Let's hope the pictures are an accurate depiction.

The pictures of Union blue look quite a bit shiny / glossy.

$25 less than Ratio, with a dick flap, uneven placket and a goofy third button on the collar? No thanks.

Not to worry ScottBott, they're selling just fine it seems.

Just don't understand why it exists. I've had hundreds of collared shirts before and never had the back of the collar go walkabout on me. Of course I'd also prefer not to have the hanger loop too, but I know plenty like those. I'm only recently warming to the idea of button down collars anyway, since US made shirts seem to gravitate towards them.

With G's questionable QC, wait time and current pricing, they've really run up against some formidable competiton with these shirts. But as stated, they're selling, so good for them.
