This is a bit off topic but there isn't a "stuff I bought from the stock store" thread....so....
I picked up some 15oz Zims and I'm positive they were returns for improper sizing. The thighs on down fit like 33 slim (over spec) and the top block is about 1/2" under 32 slim (under spec). I ordered 32 slims so I can make it work, I put them on for an hour or so tonight and stretched the waist from 32" to about 32.75" which is fine as I like a 33"+ inch waist. I'll get them there.
Just posting this up as a buyer beware for stock store stuff, it might be in spec or it might be a return and be over/undersized. Old news to most but not everyone is aware of this and we have some new members. I wasn't worried about it at all when I ordered because if they'd been too far off I would have just listed them on ebay with true sizing and only lost a few bucks.
OK back on topic......glad lots of you have scored 23/26oz that fit at a great price!

I'm a sucker for grab bags. I thought a thread about what people receive would be interesting. (I guess I'll see if others agree.).
I did not get in on the most recent offering, but have done shirt grab bag in the past.
In past offerings:
Regular large: blue Oxford, charcoal Oxford, an orange red black plaid gingham. (Sorry. Don't know the actual one as Gustin does not tag them like the denim.)
I tried the large slim once too for sizing and got a cone chambray. Others?

L Grey Oxford, SL Peach blue plaid (looks terrible against caucasian skin IMO), M slate blue flannel. Never bothered to try denim grab bag because I doubt anything in there would be up to my standards. Regret not going on on the heavyweight grab bag though.

My shirt grab bag is out for delivery. Kinda hoping it's not an Oxford, but I think 90% of shirt grab bags are.

I got a pair of Heavy Americans in this last one. Pretty sure, at least- no tag in this pair. Had a Gustin bottle opener in the back pocket.
I had just received my Heavy Americans from the campaign- took a gamble on the skinny fit and lost. Grab bag arrived a few days later with the right size! Perfect timing!

Decided to roll the dice and give the denim grab bag a go. I've seen several denim campaigns come up that I passed on, so there's no shortage of jeans I want. But, what I get should be interesting.

 Best grab bag score a year ago. When cold weather is in the forecast these are my go to pair. Super heavies that have been pretty beaten and tamed. Patience paid off as they are comfortable to wear all day. I could even sleep in them if it wasn't for the fact I'd overheat. |

Might have to back the super heavies again when they reissue.

I got the Cone Superlights. Wasn't what I wanted but it was a grab bag so shouldn't complain. plus, I don't own any lightweight denim for the warmer months so if I was going to buy any this would be it.

Got a shirt grab bag. Some sort of selvedge oxford. I think the blue selvedge oxford. I like the classic medium fit a lot.

Got a shirt grab bag. It's white/natural and either light weight chambray or linen? Not selvedge. Not an Oxford I know. Thoughts on what it is?

Thinking about picking up one of the Grab bags in store right now.
Maybe I'll get lucky and pick up a nice flannel.

I might go for the shirt grab bag today, I really want to figure out my shirt size. I did just look back at what shirts should be shipping in September / October and wasn't that impressed. Anyone else playing the grab bag lottery today?

Anyone else playing the grab bag lottery today? I went for it (again). Last time I played the shirt grab bag lotto and got a real nice and heavy cone jacquard, plus I was right on the money for fit. C'mon rainbow nep! |

Another score in the recent shirt grab bag: #2 Organic Indigo Selvedge Chambray. Just came today, and in true Gustin fashion, feels buttery smooth.

Just managed to pick up a grab-bag Slim XL shirt. Have had good experiences with Gustin in the past so I'm anxious to see what comes around this time. Will follow up with an update once I received the goods.

eh... I see the $65 dollar grab bag there... it just isn't cheap enough to warrant the risk.
