hello everyone,
my name is harry, and i've been lurking around the gustin forum for a while, but rarely posted anything useful.
I'm 26yrs old in AZ, and I work as a production manager for an audio company so I can buy more gustin stuff. I hate buying stuff from multiple places, so I think gustin is gonna work really well for me. they only need to make underwear and socks. I'm dead serious when it comes to "made in usa" or "made in some country with tradition." I'm willing to pay extra for those products, but only if they actually make products that are better than "made in no where."
I have a really bad habit - I never wear anything more than once without washing it, even if I wore it for 10 min to throw trash away. Oh, that includes jeans, suits, wool sweatshirts, and other things that are forbidden to be washed. I've been working on fixing that habit, and spending several hundreds of dollars on gustin jeans is definitely helping.
I recently lost a lot of weight, so I have a really good excuse to buy clothes, but now this turned into another problem - I can't stop buying.

I think you'll feel more comfortable here, than the Gustin board. The folks here are nice , full of knowledge,and really helpful, but if you think we're going to help you curb your spending habits...Think again lol...we're also a bunch of enablers, that will have you spending faster than you can make it  Anyways, welcome and have fun brother! EDIT: I'd take Ickes' advice on the drawers...He's our resident underwear guru lol |

Hello everyone,
My name is Edgar, i'm from Portugal, i have some Gustin products that i really enjoy, i've lurked in the community forum overthere but was never very active. I like to read your insight and experiences with the stuff that is being made. I have a passion for anything "made in Portugal" "made in usa" or "made in japan", places that are a sign of high standards in construction/manufacture for me. Hope to learn some more while visting this forum.

Hello everybody ! I'm Eliot from France, i'm already an active member of a fashion forum in France for a few months and i love to share and discover about nice and atypical fabrics ! I discovered this forum a few days ago when searching informations about Gustin (i have 3 jeans + a shirt incoming in december), and i'm glad to see some sincere reviews and feedbacks about the brand, even if i haven't been disappointed at the moment. But the real discovery here is Lawless Denim, from what i saw, it seems amazing and as i will surely buy some items with the new site and the 50% discount, so thought it was normal to present myself here ! Thank you for the discovery |

Hello all, my name is Jacob and, as seems to be the norm, I've lurked here (and on the G forum when I could access it) for some time before posting anything. I started getting into the denim thing earlier this year when I gave a lecture on the history of denim culture. I'm a sociologist and I study taste and aesthetics (my current work is on craft beer culture). I've known about Japanese denim since the early aughts, but the prices have always been restrictive. In preparing for the recent lecture, I discovered Gustin and now I'm in the throws of a denim addiction. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and to thank you all for the advice I've picked up from this forum.
