I just can't see Gustin putting it out for less than $40-45 If this is really the case, I CANNOT wait to read the product description. It will be amazing. |

The Tshirt Pic on IG looks like its a Heather fabric. So I don't see it being a LoopWheel.
I might spring for one if has something cool like Natural Indigo dye. Or maybe if its a 2 Pak for under $50.

Did anyone who normally wears a slim in Gustin spring for the same size slim in their chinos? Or did you go with straights? I really want the Camel Herringbone Chino, and I can't decide between slim or straight.

I did.
I wear a 35slim in their jeans for a heavier fabric and a 34 slim in their lighter jean fabrics.
for chinos, i got a 34 slim which fits just fine.

I really want the Camel Herringbone Chino, and I can't decide between slim or straight. i stuck with my size and slim cut for the two pairs of duck canvas chinos i ordered. haven't received them yet, but if they come in to spec should be slightly more roomy than the equivalent in denim. early reports from the initial runs of chinos are kind of all over the map in terms of fit...so fingers crossed. |

Did not the see those IG pictures of the T-shirt until now.... umm.. they look like some kind of the Heather Linen Blend... I can see it to be over $40. |

I really want the Camel Herringbone Chino, and I can't decide between slim or straight. Normally order 33 slim, think I ordered 34 straight in the Japan caramel chino based on how the graphite chino came in at 34 slim. Will find out if that was a mistake sometime in January. |

Well, lots of good info that leads me to being more confused than before. Now I have no idea where to go.

Gustin says order same size, from my experience the slim chinos came in tighter through the legs, so I went from slim to straight since it wasn't the fit I was looking for out of chinos. I've said it here before, but in the slim they seem to come in as "date pants", where I imagine the straight will be more like "office pants". Or they'll be totally paddle legs and I won't be able to wear them anywhere. |

#188 Italy Indigo CashmereSheee-it, that sounds pretty cool. Now the question is, am I willing to drop $180 to find out just how cool? EDIT: Oh, wait! I still have some store credit left. That makes the answer easier to accept.

It seems like people are buying into the hype of the "Cashmere" similar to the Silk.

Not sure why but I think the G's navy wax canvas will work better on a different jacket style than the trucker. Something looks off from those pictures.... |

It seems like people are buying into the hype of the "Cashmere" similar to the Silk. Well, speaking for myself here, I bought into the hype of the Silks after I received the Silks, wore them extensively, and decided that as far as I'm concerned they are one friggin' sweet pair of pants. I've also decided that, as much as some of Gustin's marketing buzzspeak can annoy me from time to time, they are typically very faithful in their descriptions of the appearance and feel of the fabrics they offer. There are plenty of areas where one might quibble with Gustin--price, construction, QA/QC, communication, etc.--and the regulars here will know I've had my share of quibbles with G. However, on no occasion have I been disappointed with one of their fabrics itself. Never. Not once. Gustin has built up a large reservoir of trust with me on that score, over the course of more than a dozen products I've purchased from them. Whether I've paid eighty dollars for something or a hundred and eighty, if they described the material in a way that made me think I'd really like it...lo and behold, when I got that item in my hands I really liked it. Every time. So I feel confident that I'm going to like the Cashmere. Probably a whole lot. And not just because some flowery product copy told me to. |

I've read a few complaints here and there pertaining to LD's turnaround time. But, I think with the recent promos LD has been running there's been an enormous surge in orders for them, which has delayed production on items. I personally don't have the expectation that LD will delivery my navy cruiser in the 8-10 week time period, so i'm not too concerned. I figured if I can wait 2 months for Gustin to deliver my trucker then what's a 2-3 month wait from Lawless? Besides, the cool thing about Lawless is being able to semi-customize your clothing, and of course, price. |

Every time. So I feel confident that I'm going to like the Cashmere. Probably a whole lot. And not just because some flowery product copy told me to. I think maybe my age or expectation and my experience on the Gustin's fabric is quite an opposite. I bought the Grey Silk and the True Blue Silk at their very first campaigns at the peak of the hype and they are both horrible in my eyes. Back in the 80's, there were a huge movement of the polyester blend garment. When the first time I saw the Grey Silk, it immediately recall my memory on those. My wife is also in that era and was teasing me every time about the sheen and how cheap do they look. I also question the integrity of the fabric itself because no matter how I washed them in the washer (inside out with a garment bag), there will be additional wash cease everytime. I have never seen one denim or pant that have problem similar to that. I am questioning about the dying process of that blend of fabric. The rest of my Gustin fabric are not much better. Natural Indigo, Rainbow Neps (sold), BlackxBlack and True Blue Silk (sold) are ok but are definitely not matching those "marketing descriptions" on the Gustin site. I DON'T even want to bring up my feeling of the fabric on my Hickory Stripe Workshirt. Anyway, I did have an opportunity to see and touch the cashmere N&F jeans couple years back and it wasn't bad but I didn't find that very special. 7forAllMenKind also has one today and also Jcrew. |

Besides, the cool thing about Lawless is being able to semi-customize your clothing, and of course, price. Don't you think that might be a problem? KS closed over the summer, and not everyone has received their KS orders, and they keep throwing out more sales upon sales. Reason why Gustin got backed up was because they weren't pushing out orders as fast as they were taking them. They said they'll be all caught up now, but LD keeps on taking more and more orders, and each order has it's own specific customization, adding more time. Gustin has a way of keeping sales down (not put out as many offerings), while trying to catch up on production. They way LD is set up, they'll keep taking sales, regardless of how production is doing. I am part of the 50% off for 5 years, but I don't foresee myself making any orders until it's less hectic, and there's a more clear time frame for me to receive my order. I don't care about price and customization if I have no idea when I will be receiving the product. Just tired of the pro-LD folk talking up so much LD in Gustin threads when there's a perfectly good LD forum for them to go to. |
