My pair of Okayama Standards came in today, and will say that the sizing is spot on per the size chart. I like it when it works like that, but really, the only pair of G jeans that I own that came out of line were the Beasts, but still a keeper. Not used to this lightweight stuff, but they will work well in warmer weather, and the fabric lends itself to great fades.

Aren't they really more like 16.5? My least breathable pair of jeans, significantly warmer than my 22oz Oni. About as useful in summer as a wool jacket.
Really slow faders too, even after a few hot washes and dryer runs (I apparently don't like Gustin's straight fit).

Ok's are the best!
A very easy pair to wear year round (maybe not if it hits 90+ degrees).
Great fading. They have an interesting subtle green hue.

I just find them really hot and stifling. I have many heavier options that I'll wear in warmer weather. They're a cool weather jean for me though. To be fair, for freezing temps, with a pair of Capiline tights, they're awesomely warm. |

Whatever tweaks they have made to the t-shirt fit since the original run have basically made them perfect for me. I'm going to end up with a stack of tri-blend Gustin shirts in no time (well, not no time... like, we all know it'll take months for me to get them all... but soon enough).

Liking the Cone Stretch - nice heft, still pliable.

a pair of cone pima summers (11oz) popped up in my size on the stock store the other day. decided they'd serve well as my warm weather pair, and the price was much less than the other options i had recently been considering.
they arrived yesterday and they're ridiculously soft...little to no starch which makes them wee bit too 'drapey' for me. i was also hoping for less weft peek through. but...they're on spec, fit well, and are comfortable. i'll no doubt put a lot of wear in them between now and fall.

Stock Store haul! Managed to get it packaged together too which was awesome seeing as it was the third time I've asked for it to happen.  |

No fair hiding a patterned G shirt behind stuff. Although it looks surprisingly decent from what I can see.

That is easily the best collar I've seen them do. We won't talk about the pattern shoulder to shoulder.
