Check out the fabric on this apron...AFAIK Gustin have never used this on a shirt. Perfect WS material!! Props to them for monetizing anything they can but I just find the apron thing odd. Makes me believe they are gonna flame out, too many product lines. |

I was super delicate when I first got in to the more expensive brands, but then I realized the irony of buying clothes made with the strongest fabrics and made using the strongest construction methods, but still thinking I need to handwash or use the delicate cycle. Right. But most of my stuff is thin cotton like 5oz or less. I cant sit in an office in IH levels of fabric. Actually, an air conditioned office is a very good place to wear IH levels of fabric. 21, 23, and 25 oz denim doesn't breath very well. I find it uncomfortable and not wearable much over 75 degrees F. But if I know I'll be in the office all day at about 68, I'll wear it even though the outside temp is too warm. (And in Autumn and Winter of course) |

If they were only offering Denim jeans still, most of us would have stopped paying attention a long time ago. |

Makes me believe they are gonna flame out, too many product lines. They're probably going to. the stuff they make has a probably small pool. Over time people have realized that Gustin's pricing is in a weird spot. You wait two months when you could have gotten alternatives that ship immediately, at discounted prices. I just want their shirts on sale for $60 or so. That would be a good price range. Some of their other stuff have good value though, like the sneakers and boots. |

TS is going double that and I question their model as well considering much of their stuff is being made in Portugal. |

TS has some interesting things but they're definitely over priced. |

Gustin sewn in LA is a bargain at 76 vs. Portugal at 148. it's still an European country though. Is the labor really that different? I think I'll back then without thinking at $65. $75 for a shirt that I'll wait for months just ain't worth it compared to buying higher end stuff on sale. |

By the way...why is there a button hole on the little pen compartment of the left chest pocket?? so you can put your weed in there. I'be always figured it was for the clip on a pen but it's not terribly convenient to use, so I stopped using it pretty much immediately after trying it. You could presumably put one in the pocket and clip a pen to the buttonhole and carry TWO! |

Yeah, but you could just as easily or more easily clip the pen to the pocket opening. it's very odd

Anyone here received their Brown Organic Cotton x Hemp workshirt? If so, and you happen to hate it, I'll buy it off of you if it's a large, or slim large

It looks great but lighter than I was expecting. I'd forgotten it was only 5oz; 9-10 would have been ideal. I'll post pics soon. |
