just heard back from Albert and their designer actually hasn't decided on a thread color yet Lol. G has a designer? And he cannot decide between two colors (tonel vs contact)? Glad that he is not ordering anything from LD or it will be very exhausting. |

They are doing tonal but there's multiple different shades that could be tonal |

We should start a shadow Gustin site to show how many backers a given item would have if it existed. I'd be backing the contrast viridian and the moss hb work shirt right now ;-)

that contrast stitching is going to look badass when they fade.  |

Yeah I've emailed with him twice today and he's been on point. We should hope he sticks it out through all the hard work and denim nerdery. If you can take me and Ikes complaining about contrast stitching on an otherwise beautiful product you're good people in my book :-)

check the new G drops stinky. They dropped a kick ass pair of Green cast Japanese denim called thr Vidirian but they are going with tonal stitching on it. complete waste of a beautiful looking denim. with tonal thread, after they fade, those things are going to look like something Freddie Mercury would have worn on stage. $135 for the most badass Mom Jeans the world has ever seen. |

So gustin doesn't sew, design, or have any control over timelines of their products...what is their role again? They're pretty open about their model. i think you're misunderstanding what their cs rep means by "I'm asking the designer" (or maybe I am). That could be JG or anyone else on their team. I think a lot of us are just frustrated for various reasons which makes us somewhat angry/resentful toward them, but to minimize their role as a company is a bit silly. They're middle-men that manage to find some pretty unique fabric (whether that's good or bad is up to you), and manages to ship a pretty good product at a pretty good price. Ascribing the value is up to you. |

Wait Gustin doesn't even design the products? Who does? I always thought Josh Gustin physically designed the products, although likely with input from the rest of the team. That said, once they've got the Straight, Slim and Skinny jean design patterns established, all anyone needs to do is choose the thread colour and type of patch. The other hardware is the same on all the jeans so that variable is negated. So, yeah, any new denim comes along and it's basically just a case of picking thread colour and away the sewing factory goes. It has always struck me as kind of ironic that a company who employed a USP of garish RED thread for their hem chain-stitching became so quickly obsessed with using tonal thread on their indigo jeans. |
