I think they took the buttery soft thing too far if they're using it for buttons now. Sorry to see that. I've been really happy with my G jeans, but they'll make it good. Email them... Ha ha ha. Yeah...this button is the buttery-softiest! |

Hey guys time for my update.
I sent off pictures of the damage and they agreed this wasn't a wear issue. They gave me two options; one send them back for repair or option two have them repaired locally and send a photo copy of the receipt for reimbursement. I decided I send them back for repair but they need to be washed first. No big deal while I was "getting to it" Gustin sent an email with a return shipping label. So it wasn't costing me anything to return them (Other then the plastic padded envelope).
While they thought it might take up to two weeks for them to be repaired and returned I had them back in hand in less them that. Looks like they were restitched. I wore them all weekend and no worries so far. I do notice that they do feel tighter in the thigh then the 17 oz. #191's I have but not washed??
Anyway I have to give Gustin credit publicly for standing by their product and making things right.
Oh I guess one option I thought of but didn't mention to them was letting me repair them myself the best I could and they would give me a discount on my next purchase. Not sure I would have jumped on it but I might have they'd have had another sale down the road...

I got the option of tailorfix and get reimbursed on my khakichinos that had a tear in the chambray-waist"lining". Since it doesnt show and looked easy i just machine zigzagged it closed and told Cody i did it myself. He got me some credits "for my sewing skills".
I miss Cody.
Hope ur fine C wherever you are...

Good for Cody. I wonder if he really wears Gustin stuff still.

I noticed that a shirt felt tighter than it should. I am one of the people that sized up to slim (classic medium to slim large). I needed just a little more shoulder room and it fits perfect. But I just measured 4-5 of my shirts and none of the chest measurements 1 in down are over 42.25 when they should be 43.5. They fit still but like I said they'd be perfect if they were closer to the target. I can wear them but my ego is damaged because I thought the tight fit was the result of my mad lifting gainz!

Do I want to find out haha. |

Measurements post wash? Seems like normal shrinkage for a cold wash and machine dry.

Aside from the hem defect on my American Standards i also noticed a weird twisting of the fabric in the right leg. I only noticed it because the selvedge ID doesnt sit evenly on the side of my ankle like it should.
Whatever though, these jeans fit and im just gonna beat the piss out of 'em

While it is generally far more common with unsanforized denim, it is not unheard of with sanforized. Four pairs I own have it. Beauty is, it makes them uniquely yours. Live them, love them, wear them. |

Right hand will twist clockwise (looking down) and left hand will twist anti clockwise. Typically that means your left leg will twist forward on RHT and the right will twist forward on LHT. Needless to say broken twill does not twist.

Left/right hand twills may all twist, to some degree. But, the sanforization process helps to minimize the effect, by shrinking the fabric, and making it more predictable before being sewn. I will admit, for me to say it is "far more common" with unsanforized denim is not the correct way to express my thoughts, since all LHT/RHT are susceptible. But, personal experience has shown me it is more pronounced, and noticeable with unsanforized, leading to my initial thoughts. |

At least some involvement, yeah. Ron Dennis was probably mostly to blame.

Glad the leg twist issue is fairly common. Not a big deal really, just annoying.

Right leg with the selvedge ID practically on top of my foot |

Levis used to be extreme with the twist, my skinny friends jeans had the seam right in the middle of the thigh!!!!
