Gustin - New Drops

I do not like the buttons on that one either.

I still would be tempted to buy but when they used to use the 50" chest pattern for XXLT I found that heavier fabrics sewed up smaller.  Losing that inch and a half AND a heavy fabric is likely gonna kill it for me.

The blackwatch appeared to pattern match right sleeve vs. left sleeve, so that's good.  I thought the Indigo Jacquard looked great too.  Unfortunately its a work shirt and blue...two things I don't need.

Indigo Jaquard looks good, but it needs better buttons. I hate that i'm becoming a button snob.

18oz Super Heavy Slub for $129.

Thoughts?

Woah, nice to see you back. Hope all is well.

It is strange that this is what I have been after lately and this is, somehow, all wrong.  I want big wild texture, but looking at the photos, there is some sort of pattern that shows up.  It reminds me of when I got the Cone Pima Fires and they looked streaky and silly.  I consulted the internets to see how they look in real life since it is style #26 so these have been around a while.  Someone on reddit is saying that they looked worse in person and said, "animal print"...yuck.  https://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1hkjkw/mottled_appearance_on_gustin_super_heavy_slub/
and then other comments stated that they were the same fabric of the Naked and Famous "big slub"...so I would recommend google searching those.

Up close, that slub looks ridiculous (in a good way), but any photo from any distance a normal human would see your jawns from looks ridiculous (in a bad way) with that pattern.  Looks like the kind of jeans one would wear with an "affliction" t-shirt or "american fighter" t-shirt. 

What is worse, the guy posting on Reddit didn't think they would have this pattern (and why they said it looked worse in person)...that was back in campaign #26 which was when Lord Gustin only deemed it necessary to post one picture of 1 square inch of material.  That had to be brutal to go from that close-up shot of gnarly slub filling your head with magical dreams to getting this pair of Afflication Animal Fighter jeans to crush all of your hopes and aspirations of being somebody one day. 

hopefully, my interest in silly slub won't get the best of me.  I do not think I could wear this denim to the office.

Backed the Navy Selvedge Twill.
Thought it was a fair price and something I could use.

I may end up buying into the Bravestar selvedge coals also

I have been given this some thought.
I recently bought 3 TS shirts. A pair of Gustins and a Bravestar should hold me over.
O yeah and I'm waiting for a pair of a CF's

The one henley I have from them fits weird. The neckline is bizarre and it is boxy and out of spec. I really just like their t-shirts. Trying one more pair of jeans before I give up.

#321 Japan Red Fire

I can't decide if I want to wear these or not. I keep thinking it would be more interesting as a jacket.

If this is what you want, I would recommend buying a pair of cheaper jeans with white weft and all the characteristics you want and dying them yourself.  No need to spend no goddamn $45 more when you can have a super fun project dying stuff in the house. All the jerks on here (and I use that phrase in a manner that is not meant to be insulting but is just how address people) were talking about purple weft and I had these Pima Cone Fire jawns that I couldn't stand the streaks...so put two and two together.  PEN PINEAPPLE APPLE PEN!  (that just happened) 

the purple fires





The jeans were on the cheaper side and the dye was a few dollars.  I think it is just put dye in hot water with salt or some BS and soak.  Rinsing the dye out did take FOREVER.  The results are perfect for dying, but jeans with a purple hue...I can't pull it off...and I don't know if I want to.  In the bright sun of this subtropical paradise, they are ridiculous and fill me with great shame and remorse.  If I had to do it over again, I would have went with a dark grey dye to take out the "fire" streaks...which make me feel like an "affliction" shirt guy.  Even better would have been if I would have used the kakishibu I had laying around...little did I know that stuff goes bad quickly.

Red might be OK and if that is what will make you happy, go for it.  The brahs on here have some weird styles.  Maybe less lately because the pool has shrunk, but that is what I liked about this place.  We all dressed different and were from all across the board, but could still find a common ground in some men's clothing. 

But it is not a standard feel walking in something like this bright colored wefted jawns and you have to be confident that you can shrug off the gawks and comments.
