Gustin - New Drops

Q.E.D.

I don't understand your point?  Because they aren't interesting to you (the accessories and denims), they can't be interesting to others?  I find the the ones Gustin recently offered to be just as interesting as denims Griffin posted, if not more interesting.  Italy BxBs, Italy IxIs, Japan GreyxBlacks, Japan Indigo Silks, etc.  I'd take those over any of the ones Griffin posted in that screenshot.  Actually, I don't see any that Griffin posted that I would have backed.

And if you are no longer look interested in the Gustin drops, which occur pretty much everyday now, why do you keep going back to see?

Lastly, I own way more non-blue denims than blue denims.  I find the Okayamas Stds and Super Heavys sufficient for blue denims, maybe adding another heavier weighted denim to the mix, but find myself looking to back non-blue denims more often than blue denims.  Not everyone is looking for blue denims.

I actually miss the good old days when people didn't just bash Gustin for the sake of bashing Gustin.

I remember when Gustin was just about jeans. They were offering raw denim, at very good price points, and people were excited. If they want to keep this thing going, it is only reasonable that they would offer different denims, and expand their product base, as one can reasonably own only so many pair of the same color jeans. I'm at the point of some where I don't get excited anymore about what drops, because I have mostly what I need, but continue to look to maybe find something awesome. Its just an evolutionary process. I received my 16oz. black apron last weedend, and love it, and although I probably won't be buying much down the road, I'll still keep my eye on whats being offered. If I don't like, I don't buy.

Completely fair point.  I also am pretty finished with what I need, in both denims and shirts, and haven't really backed anything in a while, and find myself selling items I don't feel I will make the most of.  But I do find myself thinking if I hadn't already had everything I needed, I'd have backed several of these recent denim and shirt offerings (Japan Indigo Silks and the Japan Slate Blue Twill most notably).  I probably would have backed the hat if it was fitted, key ring if it had a bottle opener attachment, and still considering a few more aprons as gifts.  I love my BlackxBlack apron, and use it everyday.

Those were last year Black Friday special.

accurate assessment.
if it's any consolation i also miss the good old days when everyone would rib you about how many items you sold or returned. i'm already feeling nostalgic about this post.

Is that a beige herringbone city coat on the black/brown scarf campaign? want shirt. WANT SHIRT!

exophobe, what shirt do you want? the Black Brown flannel?

Hi. I just want to say that I kinda just snapped a pic. The pic is what Gustin looked like in the beginning. Although there were only jeans, we were all more excited about new drops then we are today. I missed the naturals first run and almost killed myself, and then became so happy when it got offered again.

The feeling for me was that I was involved in something special and rare, and almost hidden to others. I felt this was the greatest thing in my clothing life that ever happened (this is actually true...we cant get shit here where I live), and I showed the jeans to everyone, even many storeowners.

You are right that its pointless to long for old days, and even if G had still been only about jeans we would have lost the initial flame nevertheless. This is due to many things, and I do think G did excatly what they should do, and the only thing they could do since there is a limit to how many jeans one can have, and their mission was also always "...starting with denim.." so if one followed them you would have started with affordable jeans, some special ones, and then moved on to more exotic and really supernice ones a little more pricey like the loomies and the zimbys and the h-bonies (and so on, beast, organic).

It is noones "fault" that some have lost the spark. For me its basically that Im starting to fill up my needs for jeans and whatever looks nice nowdays is too expensive. Not G´s fault but my own, but it puts me in a place where Im less stoked about new drops and rarely even visits the site. I have been waiting for the sweatshirt forever (since first flash) and this is something im still hoping for.

Offcourse mistakes never helps, but basically I think its all about ones closet and needs and hunger for this kind of thing that probably changed more at each person then being G doing all wrong and effing up. I dont think I ever bought this many clothes from one single botuiqe before so even tho im not hungry anymore and have some consernes - i have put more money then usual into this, helping it grow. I feel G have kept their style, I just dont think some people saw what this style really was until recently.

Cant rap this post up any good, but yeah, I long for alot of old days, its silly, but its life.

Never been a fan of del fatti or milt. Not a full leather holster guy nor a 1911 carry guy. Crossbreeds daily. But that's another convo. But yes I would cancel if it's a month late off principal if it was handled the same way as what you're speaking of.

Dammit, I want the Hemps, but don't know if the slim fit works yet since my Nov shipments have yet to actually ship.
