While I'm takin pictures and stuff, this is what the wabisabi looks like after a wash, it seems to become a little more blue every time I wear it. Yep, curly collar, things gonna need an iron soon.  Great pics, thanks @exophone |

Wow, so much more blue than my Wabisabi. Hopefully you're not the dude angry about indigo spoilers. I did an initial warm wash and typically have a coat over it which is probably speeding the bluing. |

For people who has the WabiSabi work shirt, not sure is it because of the wash but my tailor called me this morning and wants to charge me more on the alternation of the length. She told me the front is mess up and she advised me to shorten the front too to correct the problem. Here is the photo. The left and right side of the front are in different length and when I tried it on, it is VERY OBVIOUS. I am now have it in my possession without the length change... need to figure out what to do with this. HATE this BS.  |

MiddleAge, I say this out of fear for your health. Don't spend another cent on that shirt. Use the shirt when you are fixing your bike or working on your car. I know you spent $150 or more on it but at this point, you've got to treat it as a write off and move on. Nothing or no one is going to fix that shirt to the point where you are going to be happy with it. If the angels descended, took it into nirvana and rubbed it over the breasts of thirty willing virgins, you would still hate it. Now it's nothing more than a blood pressure agitator for you. See it as an unfortunate mistake that helped you realize Gustin is not for you.

Wear the damn thing and enjoy it. My 2¢ |

The Lawless jeans don't look too tight from what I can see. I hear you on the white selvedge on back pockets. You can always find a blue or dark blue marker also if you didn't want the line to show up as much. Black could work also. Maiden! |

See it as an unfortunate mistake that helped you realize Gustin is not for you. I actually spent $170 on it already (150+ 20 trim the waist) and my tailor wants another $60 to fix the shirt length/keep the side selvedge. She (older Korean lady) was actually upset at me and asked me why I bought another G work shirt after the last one (she fixed my HSWS). Her English wasn't very good and I wasn't able to make her understand this whole KS model. Btw, she bailed me out couple times on bad purchases... I am thinking to bite the bullet and fix this damn thing. I really cannot wear it outside the house with the front like that without a coat. The shirt doesn't look good tuck-in either.... |

In fairness, the two he has were campaigns before anyone received them, so the only mistake is backing two without knowing what's coming. And not selling the second one when it was offered.

SMH. |

So I saw the pics of the JUB next to the Okys (thanks ickes!) but I'm still on the fence about backing the WS. I already have 3 WS, and while only one is the ideal size I still have a hard time adding another denim WS to the closet. I feel like I've already got something close to this color with the PHB, am I wrong about that comparison? What do you guys think, sell the SL Cone 101 and buy M Union Blue, or just stick with what I've got and wait for something non-indigo for my next WS? |

Based on the fuzzy/hairy pictures of the Cone 101, I would say the denim has a very different character. I would almost want the collar to be lined on a workshirt made out of the Union Blue, I've said it like three times already, but it literally feels like sandpaper, and that's not literally meaning figuratively, literally meaning actually. I think you could prep wood for finish with this fabric. |

General question for y'all: how many of you wear your workshirts for everyday/casual situations? Or, do you wear them exclusively for doing work?

I wear everyday/casual shirts to work, and I also wear the Gustin workshirts to work, however jockeying a computer probably isn't what you mean by work. |
