For those with loomies in the queue . . . Is it just me or did the production status change slightly? I could have sworn it said something like, "Production status: 12/17: Production complete. Orders will ship out on Friday." It currently says: "Production status: 12/17: Orders will begin shipping out on Friday." [emphasis added] Not trying to start conspiracy BS or anything, just wondering if my memory is that bad. I think the last update on the wabisabi was something similar, went from "shipping end of next week" to "queued for shipping" on Thursday, given Friday is just about over (though I have gotten the ship notices as late as 7 or 8 PST), it'll need to ship Monday to make Christmas, but I wasn't planning on wrapping it up anyway, so I'm not that upset. I'm guessing the loomies said something like an "end of next week", I think someone got in trouble for putting dates on the updates, so you might not be crazy, I think there were dates on some of them early last week. Bah they get me every time! Wabi shipped, so it'll be waiting for me when I get back from vacation. Merry Christmas! |

did that navy trucker back? it's not available any longer and it's not in the backed section. Looks like it got canned. Last time I checked funding was @ 3%. Too bad cuz it looked kinda cool, but I get how it might look weird to some to pair a blue trucker with blue jeans, aka the Canadian Tuxedo look. I think it would look good with black denim personally |

I love the G Truckers, but that one looked horrible.

If there's one thing that unites all Trucker Jackets, for me, it's an aesthetic of "ruggedness." That shade of blue sort of took away from the "rugged" quality that I think makes a Trucker.
When I look at a new item I run through all the things I believe I can wear the jacket with, and with that one I couldn't figure out how I would wear it.

I think you hit the nail on the head there Efren. I think that's the same reason the postal blue trucker failed too. Color is everything |

I'm starting to entertain the possibility that the Loomies are a collective hallucination and do not actually exist. This is, what, the fourth revised shipping deadline they've missed? Fifth? |

Not a bad price on the t-shirts. $13 each. But I can't do crew necks.

Totally a fair price for a nice tshirt. I'm impressed.

Who cares about super special cotton when they are $3 more than Target shirts. I'm sure the special stuff will come.

My Meundies T's are much nicer than my CK. |

I only wear grey and white, so I'm covered in that realm... yes, i meant more colorful colors. i'd only wear white or black as undershirts, but the length of these would likely have me wearing them untucked. i'd consider the grey 2-pack, but want to sample both the 100% cotton and tri-blend. |

I want to pick up a three pack of the Tees but again the sizing issue comes in to play. I'm all over the map with the sizing on these as I like an athletic fit, ranging anywhere from M to XL on the
fit giide depending on which measurement it is. Probably going to measure a couple more of my Tees.

I know "imported" is frowned upon around here, but my go-to T is the Old Navy Slub Cotton V-Neck. $13. Fits perfectly, looks good, feels good and it's made from relatively nice cotton. Black, white, slate grey and dark blue. I get them on sale for like $6. |

Price is good on those t-shirt but the fit in the mid section of the model looks kinda off again. I am going to wait for some special fabric and reviews.

That is a great price for USA made t-shirts for sure. Will check my t-shirt inventory. Most of my t-shirts that I wear as a top have bands on them, or my place of work.  |

Probably going to measure a couple more of my Tees. What do you think of the T's in general? It says a lot but not much on the page in usual Gustin style. Might just grab a pair to see what they're like. Delivery "Feb, 2015". Not an awful wait I suppose. |

After I've had a chance to look at them more I'm not super excited about them Old26. The length looks a little too short, the collar looks to deep for my liking, and once again it looks like they have the ridiculously high arm holes and a bit of a boxy body. That irks me so much that G cuts their shirts this way. It doesn't seem as bad to me on the classic button ups but on the WS it's annoying and now the T-shirts look to be the same. I'm probably going to hold off on these until I see some fit pics posted some time next year. |

The fit doesn't look great on that guy. Sleeves are long, neck hole is big, body is boxy. Even cheaper than I thought, but there's no way I'm subjecting myself to the mental strain of waiting 8-12 weeks for some damn tees.

When I look at a new item I run through all the things I believe I can wear the jacket with, and with that one I couldn't figure out how I would wear it. I agree that your color choices are limited with navy, but I still think it would look sharp with black denim, or even beige chinos. It's like traditional denim truckers - denim on denim looks bad but when paired with other colors it can look good IMO |
