Thanks for the pics bugula, shirt looks great. Just to add another view, I'm a big fan of gussets on shirts, especially selvedge shirts, and I also like side scoops. Almost every one of my RRL shirts have this feature. B. |

I should have added that I don't think I'll be grabbing any more of G's workshirts unless they find some completely amazing fabric. The fit's not bad for me but other brands fit much better for just a bit more.

My Postas WS fits pretty darn well for me, but my shirt came about an inch shorter than spec, which was great. Your Zimb looks really good. I'd like to see the Zimb 18oz in a workshirt. |

it's the little details that they miss out on compared to others charging $20 or $40 more. the thing that made me shake my head, and it sounds small, but if you look at the button on the pocket with the pencil holder, it's off-center. it's small but other brands get that stuff right.

Are they using navy buttons on all the workshirts?
Each time I put on my Japan Black I always find myself glancing at the buttons and wondering why they went with navy on a blacked out shirt. I am wondering what the wabisabi is going to look like with those buttons.

I am wondering what the wabisabi is going to look like with those buttons. That it. Navy on all WS. Should look ok on the Wabisabi as that shirt is indigo (according to the discription). There to small. I find them hard to use on the denim. |

Here are some shots of the Zimb - won't dive into it since most of you have a WS by now. Let me know if you have any questions...' View albumShirt look good. It may be an illusion that the button isn't centered. Could be the pencil slot stitching makes it look that way. Have you measured? |

I'm a bit surprised they didn't keep their red button hole on that last button... Ditto. I always thought it was a Gustin signature thing |

Yeah, I agree the buttons are too small. They feel flimsy on the Japan Black denim. I have been thinking about looking around for white ones to replace them. |

The actual button looks too high in the buttonhole. yep, that and if you look at every other button, the top and bottom holes are vertically straight while that one single pocket is slightly spun. like i said, it's small but the details make the difference. |

Would you recommend the shirt to someone? I am feeling a lot of negative vibes for a $120 item. Thinkig money might be spent else where.

Button alignment? This is a factory made denim work shirt. Nothing more. |

Thinkig money might be spent else where. it was a $141 shirt shipped. i haven't received my first LD shirts yet but after seeing their jeans, i'd like to think that the shirts would be of similar if not better quality for a much lower price. |

Only if you love the fabric (WabiSabi for example) and can't find it else where. It's all about the details at this price range and of course fit/style. Assuming the fit and style (high arm holes, long length) works for you. There's just to many small details that push it to the "no I can't recommend it". There's other shirts out there (it may be that you will need to spend $150-20") but you'll get it within a week, your able to return, and the details will be there. Gustin WS, so close, could have hit it out of the park. But didn't (only second base for me  |

I do love the fabric of that shirt tho, and the stitching. And the pockets. So there is potential.
