I don't always wear Western shirts, but when I do, I wear IH.

Wow. That is pretty noticeable. The left pocket position looks best to me. Which are you moving? Is it worth seam ripping it or paying someone else to fix it? Why not just send it back for a refund? already nailed it, fabric is dope and everything else is to my satisfaction. Couple that with a fit much better than I'm used to finding and I'm willing to do a little extra to make this work. Like jeffrx said a little further up, they sent a misaligned shirt back and it was still retuned askew. Already took the shirt off for the day until I can get to a tailor who does work I trust. I'll contact Gustin after the fix and see if they'll refund me the cost of repair. |

I sent a shirt back to Gustin because of a pocket issue. They "fixed it", and it came back with misaligned pockets anyway. My advice would be to have someone else do it rather than Gustin, which is sad since it's their product. It's no more their product than my phone is made by Apple. Well, that's a weird one. Apple is built by Foxconn, but in facilities that only build Apple products using processes developed by Apple, so I'd say they have more responsibility towards the way they're manufactured than Gustin does. |

Haha, fair point. Okay, no more than a Motorola phone... |

Got the indigo tee. It's about half inch under spec in the shoulders.
Anyone able to weight in on if this is the same nice yarn from the first run?

Are talking about the Heavy Weight T? Yeh I've got 3 now. 1 from the first run and just recieved 1 last week. Both seem to me to be the same material. |

USA t shirt variety #23 and Okies arrived this afternoon. The iron oxide color is awesome. Darker than on the G listing, more a burnt red orange. Cypress green is also darker, looks good. Paper just looks like white to me but that's OK. 5 oz fabric is very soft, maybe a little too light. I think my favorite t's are more in the 6-7 range and I like the way heavier fabric lays on my shoulders.
Okies are dope, very similar to Zimbies. 35 slim totally nailed on spec. Might end up being the best fitting jawnz I own. Nice job all around.

I didn't bother to measure them, as I'm happy with the way they fit, plus a fraction of an inch is a non factor with a T shirt this light. Great colors, and like the weight for hotter days. |

I received mine, and I'm glad I sized up for this fabric. Definitely a bit smaller overall than my existing xl tee, and if the shrink is anything like what's been described it'll end up fitting like my large tees, if t doesn't shrink then it's fine as is, since I won't be wearing it as an undershirt any time soon anyway. This is sufficient for me, I don't really need to go tracking down those $85+ indigo tees at Okayama denim or anything. |

My XL heavy indigo I just rx is pre-wash a smudge bigger than a regular Lg tee. Awesome shirt. Glad I got two. |

How do you guys wash the indigo tees? Alone in the wash? Just like any other TShirt. No particular way. I haven't seen any odd crease/fades. Maybe do it inside out. |

How do you guys wash the indigo tees? Alone in the wash? Well it's certainly not going in with the whites. If you have other blue stuff (and if you're reading this forum, you surely do) I'd wash it with that. If you don't like the potential of making your blue stuff more blue, then wash it by itself the first time, maybe the second time. Inside out if you want, and if you have a high speed spin cycle you may want to be careful putting it in with a small load -- maybe turn it inside out. |

How do you guys wash the indigo tees? Alone in the wash? I machine wash and dry mine with a load of darks. So far so good. My take on t-shirts is that they're work horses and shouldn't be fussed over too much. |

Sounds like they might be dyed to their core if there's no fades

Soaked my lightweight Zims with me today in the kiddie pool then hung them up to dry on the fence. I swear like noting leached out of them indigowise and they dryed remarkably fast.
Wore them around for a bit before dinner and didn't seem to shrink any. I'm really into how this fabric feels, even though they seem a bit rough right now, but they just feel so solid.
Had them on outside in 80 degree heat and they felt completely comfortable for the half hour or so I was out there.
