It was too oily for me i sweated all the time wearing it so washed it on low but it shrank so got too small for me aswell. I gave it to a friend who is thin and long and it fits him very good.

Think I will go with the Olive (even though I have the Moss Mechanic, Green is my favorite though). Not sure if I like the Blackwatch...though it's tempting.

It was too oily for me as well. I remember that offering, but also thought that an oiled shirt seemed out of place, and the fact that you don't usually wash an oiled garment. |

Any of you gonna jump on the 1968 Cone Mills trucker when it drops? Don't know, but I kind of like it. For whatever reason, I've never warmed up to the type II and type III jackets (or denim jackets in general), but I actually like the look of this. Could see myself wearing it. Hmmm. |

How does the indigo pyramid shirt compare to the Indigo Star Jack? I've been waiting for the later...

I liked it better in the black, but it's still a pretty nice design. |

I like the black too. I don't know if it was intentional on TS's part but their trucker reminds me of the Lee Rider jacket because of the pocket design   |

Im curious, why doesnt TS offer more denim on their site? They clearly have the means to do so but they choose not to do what Gustin is doing. My guess is they could essily siphon a lot of G's customers if they offered similar stuff

My guess is they could essily siphon a lot of G's customers if they offered similar stuff They likely don't want to get over extended. They don't see value in putting out a TON of stuff, but rather a set collection carefully selected QUALITY stuff. Not saying Gustin doesn't have quality. They do here and there quite often. But they also have a lot of poor stuff as well. And trying to navigate those landmines is tough. What's gonna look good, what's gonna look crap? TS, you know what you are getting. I am betting you'll see more denim here and there, but shirts and jackets and chinos and work pants are what they see themselves as specializing in. They may not want to open the crazy box of sourcing quality Japanese denim. |

They may not want to open the crazy box of sourcing quality Japanese denim. I think they already overextended themselves when they did the Target collab. They're clearly aiming for a larger market but where they want to take themselves is anyone's guess. The demand is there for the denim campaigns, as we've clearly seen with their recent Yoshiwa Mills black selvedge offerings. Don't get me wrong, I like Gustin and the main draw for me is the interesting denim they put up but also the price points. It's like an addiction. I really have to refrain from buying stuff from Gustin because there always seems to be something I like. With TS, it's the opposite. I have one pair of their selvedge jeans I scored off Fleabay for $50 NWOT. I like them a lot but wished they'd come up with more denim offerings rather than the shit ton of shirt offerings I keep seeing. I have yet to fund anything from TS because of this. |

The other thing here is TS started as a shirt company - really just made the oxford in the beginning. So pure speculation here, but thats what they pride themselves on. Pants/Jeans etc are relatively new to them, so its not something they do often. If you get rid of the recent workshop stacking, TS's way of life was 1 new product released in limited quantities once a week. The denim and pants is relatively new to them (think the last couple of years) and its gone through a few iterations - like the two new fits vs the one they had years prior. Maybe as they figure it out they'll do more, but I never viewed TS as a denim company, its a shirt company first. I want to say it was only up until the last year and a half they even did denim (maybe short there) but I know they used to just sell tellason and still may carry it in their shop. With all that said, they probably noticed people going after their denim so much, and thats why we've seen the non-selvage and selvage come out 2x this year. |

It's really just that simple I think, they started as a shirt company and thats what they pride themselves on and do best. The jeans just came fairly recently. |

Yep. They've been offering chinos for a couple years too. But yeah, they are shirts first.
