Gustin is having a HUGE stock sale today!!!! You don't want to miss these amazing once a year values. Go check it out now!!! WOW¡!!!!!!!!! I Like Sarcasm!!! In all seriousness--it seems as though their stock store inventory is growing larger and larger. Moreover, it seems like things are taking longer and longer to fund. Now mind you, these are just casual observations that lack any serious, concrete, factual, evidence. That said, these "sales" are slightly ridiculous. Most stuff just has free shipping, other things are marked down 10%. Also I'm not sure but don't they tack on a few bucks to stock store inventory and then call it "free shipping"? They have no brick and mortar presence, and their stuff isn't really that much cheaper (if at all) than say TS, Bravestar, Ciano, or a shirt from Ratio. Moreover, they don't give refunds as a matter of practice, and the whole crowdfunding thing is supposed to eliminate waste so they don't have devalued inventory sitting around. They should have plenty of room in their margins to mark down stock store items 25-30%. Even if they just make a few bucks they get the brand out there, get some cash flow, and move dead inventory. None of that takes into account the facts that they are no returns on stock store items, and the bad luck people have had with missized or "b quality" items from the stock store. |

There is a pair in my size available that I had been interested in, and it's not marked down. You mark that thing down 25% and add in free shipping and I would have already bought. I dont know what the eff they are doing over there using the word 'sale'. |

Has anyone got one of their new fit shirts? The old fit was too tight in the chest but baggy in the waist/arms, does the new fit fix that? Well I used to buy XXLT. Compared to the new XXL, the chest got smaller. |

Yea, saw that one, but already have their old blackwatch twill and an old blackwatch Yosemite from TS. That's enough for me, although with only 30 min left on funding....I could be tempted. Esp with 64 bucks of credit sitting there.

They seem to be pushing the Rugged harder than the Classic, but I'm sure there will be a new Classic drop tomorrow.

Never was enough incentive for me, though. Now I have a pile of denim and it is ridiculous. I will not live long enough to give all of my jeans sick fades.  |

I dont know what the eff they are doing over there using the word 'sale'. It is weird. There was some really good markdowns on one random day a bit before Christmas, mostly 50% of or more on some items. I got a couple of pairs at about half their orig value and some grab bag jeans at $35. The prices were back up the next day... Now they are having this 'big sale' with the same items 10% off ish, but judging by previous times they have done this the price reductions will continue beyond the sale or be further reduced for stuff that hasn't sold. |

Been wearing mine for a month or so. Totally great...after overlooking some typical dicked up Gustin QC issues.

Finally got the new rugged fit medium shirts. Sad to report, they are ten times tighter then the classic fit mediums were on me.. I look like a f!@king sausage. Really nice material but they are crazy with the fit. I'd imagine you need to be 150 pounds to wear this shirt. The arms seem longer (which I didn't need to be any longer) but the waist and chest are insanely tight. Sadly this means I can no longer buy any shirts from Gustin. I'll have to send these back and use the money on sneakers (their sneakers are fantastic btw). I'm really bummed about it because if they just left the chest size the same or ideally made the chest bigger these shirts would be my go to.

I take an XXL regular shirt in their old sizing, which provided a good fit, but can't do their reduced sizing now. I like the fact that they changed up the styling, but makes O sense that they reduced the measurements. |

`Ornamental scarves. I rarely wear regular scarves let alone those only worn for effect.
YMMV

I wear scarves (or an Ascot ickes) but only when it's freezing and then I prefer wool. These scraves look nice but something made for Italians. |

These new Selvedge scarves are a bit weird. The material might be thin, but appears similar to the keffiyeh style scarves I bought in Afghanistan. Although not wool, they will keep you warm enough and won't be too hot for some climates. Italians would agree!
But the shape is that of a regular scarf and the length appears to be similar to a regular men's scarf...so I do not think it is long enough to look good while keeping you warm. The indigo scarf has a photo of a dude wearing one. The frayed end of the scarf starts at the knot on one of the sides. They tried real hard to hide that the length is too short (that is my opinion based on how I wear a scarf).
I will give them an "E" for "effort" but that is about it. The price is ridiculous to me and leaving the selvedge ID is silly. It is like leaving the stickers on a hat so everyone knows it is new and you can buy new things? I don't know. That is a horrible fashion trend (in my opinion, but in high school, I wore combat boots with shorts...so who am I to judge?)

Good to see Gustin's gone back to their old ways. Collar and cuff of the shirts up now are all bad. Only one has a truly bad placket, so they're a little better than they used to be, but no longer pretending to be good at alignment.
