I have three pairs I have yet to break in because I don't fit in them. The Super Heavys, Zimb 15s, and Raw Umbers. Gonna bring these to work, and rotate putting them on, until they stretch enough for me to wear them. Those three might be the nicest looking pairs I own, but they've just been hanging for the last month or two. Haven't bothered with them, and find myself immediately reaching for the Grey Silks instead, which I need to give some time off, and maybe a wash.

Currently I have this denim in my rotation from Gustin:
#18 The Dark
#27 Heavy American
#37 Superlight
#67 Grey x Black
#68 Greensboro
#75 Okayama Standard
#77 Cone Black
#107 Zimbabwe (15oz)
#173 Zimbabwe Superlight (10oz)
#117 Downtown Brown
I'm still waiting on:
#26 Super Heavy Slub
#2 Graphite American Chino
#7 Desert Duck Canvas Chino
Other stuff I have from Gustin (shirts, belts, etc):
Classic Belt - Black
Classic Belt - Saddle Tan
Heavyweight Belt - Brown
Waxed Canvas Duffel - Olive
Shirt - Japan Blue Oxford (the first trial run of the Tall size)
Shirt - Midnight Plaid
My favourites so far are the Zimbabwe 15's and the Heavy Americans. I also wear the Heavyweight Belt almost every day. And the waxed canvas duffel in olive looks great. I'm just not sure the value is there at the new pricepoint, though. It's nothing more than a weekender bag size.

Did you get rid of the Okayama Standards because they were too similar to Zimbs? I'm thinking about letting go of my Oka Stds as well. Just updated my list. I was able to snag a pair of brand new Japan Umbers off of Grailed. |

I was able to snag a pair of brand new Japan Umbers off of Grailed. Sold the Okies because I tried a Slim fit with them, and it just wasn't for me. Loved the denim itself, though. It's no Zim, but it's pretty fantastic in its own right. Taupes and Cashmeres are indeed awesome. I will gloat about the latter in detail tomorrow, time permitting. |

Bummer about the Azures, those were a sleeper that I thought looked awesome sewn up and I regretted not backing them. Seems like they were a one and done campaign though.

How bad were they destroyed in the wash? I've washed jeans before and never were they destroyed beyond belief.

I own zero pairs of Gustin denim. I plan on buying a few pair someday, probably via grailed or fleabay, but there's just too much other stuff out there I want to buy

I have 13 pairs but nothing in a blue under 12oz. I now wish I had jumped on one of the lighter denim runs from since it will be 90 something and humid as hell here in Atlanta before too long.
I do have the Italy Midnight Shadow coming next month and that is 11oz. Hopefully these will be a winner.

I'm really tempted. |
