@david two more shirts released at the $109 price point. i started laughing as soon as i saw that. I think the common thread there (yuck, yuck) is still the fact that all the $109 button-downs involve indigo dye, rather than this being a new price point for all shirts across the board. |

From the Gustin's email this morning, it seems that T-shirts are on their way soon.

Same, though I have a hard time paying any sort of a premium for a t-shirt as well As long as I don't read something like this in the description, I would not lose my mind. "..... T-shirts in this material and quality are typically at $75 to $150. With our model, you can have it cheaper ......" |

totally agree @wills. With that being said though I'm still interested. I'm a T shirt whore I LOVE plain T-shirts too. It would be interesting to see what Gustin has to offered. T-shirt can be tricky especially the fit. |

If they are more than $20 I'd say no go on the tee's.

I just did a quick research on all the T-shirt brands being discussed here and Styleforum. I think Gustin will pretty much look at the same brands and price their t-shirts similar or 10% cheaper to those brands. The brands I am looking at are Taylor Stitch, Good Wear, Left Field, Flint and Tinder and couple others. Also, the G model doesn't work if the item is less than $20 because it doesn't allow combine shipping. |

Their model is supposed to result in lower production costs, and therefore lower acquisition cost for the customer. They're going to "compare to" shirts in the $45 range, I would think, which should drop them around 25, I'd guess. |

Lately, I have a feeling G is based its price on supply/demand than its production cost. My guess is around the same price range as yours too. |

Ha, no chance on backing a t-shirt. I can do that for something kind of esoteric like a selvedge Zimbabwe cotton work shirt or $80 black selvedge cone denim, but a t-shirt? They're a staple in my wardrobe, but I tend to buy $8-$15 shirts from Target or Banana Republic, wear them until they look shabby, rotate them to yard duty and finally cut them into rags. T-shirts are not heirloom items.

It looks like the Gustin stock page put up another denim grab bag. Too bad there's nothing in my bean-pole size.

Yeah, it looks like they just rounded up all of the denim that's been hanging out in the stock store for a while and put them into the grab bag. I wonder if that means that they have another batch of denim to go on the stock store soon, or if that's it until after Christmas...

I like the look of those herringbone flannels. I really wish Gustin would change their shirt template. Or offer a second style.

They had a 30 slim for a little while, but I couldn't bring myself to drop $140-whatever on them. I am curious about those Zimbs, and the Zimb 18s

I have a $100+ hoodie, I don't think it's out of the question. I'm actually tempted by the whiteXindigo hb shirt even at that price.

T shirts won't be lower than $40. It's a T-shirt not a suit. Paying a premium is insane. Hey have a short life span and get rotated out fast. Find a brand that fits and bingo there you go.

Nice. I wear mostly v-neck for blank t's and crew neck for graphic t's. This look awesome but would love to see the fit. |

If they are more than $20 I'd say no go on the tee's. Absolutely. Everlane and Buck Mason's t-shirts means it's tricky for most mid-tier brands to charge more than $25 for plain t-shirts. |
