Love most of the fits here and check out the shirt fit, especially the length and width. My tailor will try to fix Wabisabi work shirt. It is not a fabric that I want to waste. Someone in Japan will be totally piss and it will be a shame. m.imgur.com/a/JlwDjBtw, need to stop listening to people here about buying more jeans. I need to focus on the fade. 
(thanks for the kind words btw) |

Normally i wouldnt chime in but I've noticed small tufts of fibers coming loose daily on my wabisabi? Has anyone else had the same experience? FYI mine hasn't been washed. I think it is exactly what I saw after I took it out from the dryer. A quick run to the fabric using the fabric shaver took all of them out. Look clean now. |

That fabric is definitely easy on the eyes but i could see as much use for It as a labor intensive workshirt as the 320 lb weed dealer down the street uses his air Jordan's and jumpsuit for basketball.

I am sure it is pilling and just used my wife's shaver on it. what is puckering? All I did was hot soak it in plain water and changed water 4 times for about an hour. I then put it in the dryer for an hour with my Hickory Stripe work shirt to try to get the maximum shrinkage. I was worrying to dry it by itself will be too harsh to the fabric. I cannot mix it with something else because it was leaking indigo big time. To make it clear for all readers of this you are trying to make a shirt fit that was not the correct measurements for the owner and this is basically an experiment that could have bad results. Just wanting to make that clear as bad results could happen to any brands fabric if the fabric is washed/dried improperly. I believe what DigDug is referring to with puckering is the fabric bunching up, not laying flat, wrinkles etc. This would be caused by the hot wash and also the hot dry as the fabric is shrinking. To be fair any shirt of this type would shrink under these conditions and cause this to happen. Much of it would probably relax with wear. As far as the pilling, some close up pictures would help everyone to understand what is going on. Most shirts of this type of fabric, including denim recommend a gentle machine or hand washing with shirt inside out, this would help the pilling, and drying on low or hang dry. Just wanted to post this disclaimer to keep everyone from getting too riled up. I bought my Gustin work shirts based on the size of my G button down shirt size and the WS came in both much wider and longer than my two button downs. I am now trying to make this shirt work for me because I like the Wakisabi fabric. I hate wash and dry any raw selvedge before wear but the WS came in like a dress. For size reference, I am 5'10" and 158lbs. The size of the shirt is size Medium and it is the same size as my Gustin button down, Jcrew, Gap, BB and most of other brand. Some may consider me being below average on height but I don't want to give an impression to anyone that I bought some ridulous large size. |

received my Cone 101 WS today in the mail. I'm am pleased with it however I thought the thread color would be contrasting like it says listing. I know the pic shows tonal but Gustin could have been making game time decisions. Here is a quick fit pit. I may have time to take pics tomorrow before I leave to St. Martin  |

Not fit as good as your LD shirt photos that you posted yesterday. |

MiddleAge I think it goes without saying that Gustin WS is just a bad match for your style. I'm wondering why you still seem to hold out hope that the next batch will be magically different? Shouldn't you be that guy that's in here raging "F Gustin WS, fit is always too boxy, everybody should buy XYZ instead"? I get a weird Stockholm Syndrome vibe off your continued interest in them :-P But all joking aside, have you ever tried a slim? I'll have two more WS coming next week, so I'll be able to post comparisons between M, L, and Slim L for everybody.

bigblack the shirt looks good. are the cuff openings extremely large, or is it just the way the pic makes it look? the stitching on the pockets seems mildly contrasting to the fabric, is it simply a shade or two lighter? @wils i think you may be experiencing some selective vision where it comes to G work shirts. looking at both bigblack's LD and G shirts, the body and sleeve lengths look just about equal. if anything the G shirt looks a bit shorter in both...but i'm chalking that up to difference in photo angle. the G shirt does look a bit roomier through the waist...not typically my aesthetic preference...but it is a 'work shirt'...meant to allow movement of the body.

The thread is a shade or two lighter than the denim. Not really contrasting in my eyes. The cuffs are just wide as my LD shirt so I think its the pic in conjunction with my skinny arms. I may give it a cold wash. I leave to St Martin tonight so it won't be done for a week or two. I'll update everyone as I wear it. It's definitely going to be tough to choose which shirt to wear seeing I got them a day from each other. |

Agreed. I'd say the Lawless shirt has cleaner lines and looks better on bigblack as a fashion piece, but if it was me I'd prefer the Gustin fit for actually working in. Both look very good and very durable from where I'm sitting, so it's nice to have some slightly different options depending on what the customer wants for the fit and function of his shirt. |

I am looking at the picture on my phone and I just felt the LD shirt looks better fit on bigblack than the G shirt. Btw, I think it us a running joke from some other members here but I don't think anyone beside DigDug is really wearing G workshirt for actual heavy duty job. I don't think it is the intention for G either on making a real work shirt. |

100% with Mattbert on this one. The Lawless shirt looks awesome, the cut looks trimmer, and the higher-contrast stitching & purple snaps make it stand out. Yet, the fit of the Gustin shirt is probably better for working and getting stuff done. I know you posted the Lawless as 15oz. What's the weight of the G?

Nevermind, Googled it. 12.5oz. This Google thing may actually be more than just a passing fad...

I had noticed they started sewing their sleeves wider. I don't know when exactly but the sleeves on my double indigo are trimmer and feel much better compared to my wabisabi. Just my experience though. The tighter arms led to better whiskers.

I won't be doing much food truck work in the WS but probably once I start my Master's will be wearing it when I teach and stuff. But don't know if I will be wearing it when I do lab work as I want to feel free as much when conducting experiments. The Gustin does give me more room to be moving my body and my LD shirt just looks clean. |

I agree with you and a mistake I made to beleive the hype of the work shirt sight unseen back before anyone recieved theirs. I was actually struggling quite a bit on keeping the Wabasabi but decided to keep it only because the availability of the fabric. If I know Pacific Blue will have more Wabisabi fabric coming, I don't mind to sell my the work shirt for a big loss. Trust me, I am not THAT stupid and why the hell I want to spend more money to fix something that I do not like the SECOND TIME around. Btw, I put both of my G work shirts on DST here and G community and I did not get one offer. So, for everyone, that was the reason I did not sell my size M work shirts and I was kind of stuck with both of them. |

I think that both shirts fit you well. I've got quite a few shirts in my closet, and there are probably now two shirts that fit exactly the same, except for some dress shirts I had made in a batch, that were made to the specs I sent them. From the pics, I'd say the G work shirt looks like the one to wear while getting something done, and the LD shirt for just lookin good. I'd say you did alright.

Middle age, have you tried wearing other shirts under your workshirt? Other collared shirts? It's not a bad look, and it was my understanding that that was why they made it alittle billowy. This is how I wear my PHB. As I said above I've ordered smaller sizes because I really would like to wear them as a shirt instead of an overshirt. Gotta admit that the overshirt style has been working great during the winter. I think the shirt vs. overshirt expectation is the primary confusion between customers and Gustin (who seem to be on the fence lol). |

Gotta admit that the overshirt style has been working great during the winter. I think the shirt vs. overshirt expectation is the primary confusion between customers and Gustin (who seem to be on the fence lol). Yeah, I have three or four shirts that work like that for me. Big enough to wear over a lighter weight button-down somewhat like a shirt-jac but not so large that they're obviously outerwear and look silly if worn alone with just a tee or undershirt. If I ever spring for a Gustin workshirt, that is how I'd aim to size it. Which to me is just the default because that is what I've always considered a workshirt to be. But I respect the fact that I am a curmudgeon, and other guys are happy to blur the line between fashion and workwear where I am not. Which is totally fine. As long as those other guys realize they are bad people and their opinions are bad and they should get new ones. Then we're cool. |
