Did anyone else order their Okayama True? www.weargustin.com/store/5144Mine came today and they are nothing like advertised. First, the blue n red ID. Mine have all blue on one leg, and all red on the other, not blue n red together as pictured. Second, they are NOT slubby in the slightest. The denim is very tightly woven and smooth with no neppies anywhere. Third, there is no "yellow cast" to the weft. It's stark white. As white or whiter than any other pair I have. Overall, they look like a pair of standard Cone Mills. Can anyone else who got a pair weigh in? Can't help you with the yellow cast weft or selvedge ID, but it's a proven fact that gustin may or may not even know what slub means. I have these silk slubs and there's, like, zero slub. Plenty of nep as the description suggests, but that's not what they named the fabric. www.weargustin.com/store/2300 |

Overall, they look like a pair of standard Cone Mills. Can anyone else who got a pair weigh in? Their sew-shop has shown a tendency to do that with the dual id denims in the past. I don't see a yellow cast in the pictures they provided either. Finally, this sentence is hard to hold them to, since I don't know what "course form" is supposed to mean. It might mean super smooth and tight warp. "The surface is nicely course form subtle slubby yarns." |

It's a typo. Should be 'from.'

Well it would also help if they knew the difference between course and coarse, of course.

It's a typo. Should be 'from.' Should probably be "coarse", too, but I'm not the one trying to sell a pair of jeans. |

Maybe they've outsourced their media content to Taylor Stitch's new Chinese headquarters?

Maybe they've outsourced their media content to Taylor Stitch's new Chinese headquarters? According to their Facebook they're still doing that in house in Cali. They just put up a story about travels in Nepal which I find particularly ironic with them moving so much production to China. |

Might as well post some pics of Tibet and refer to it as China, just to make sure I know they're assholes, through and through. |

Wait...Gustin is now producing their goods in China? Can someone 'splain? It's been a longstanding issue with this forum that there are multiple threads called "NEW ARRIVALS". They all need to be edited so that they read GUSTIN - NEW ARRIVALS etc.............. for legibility when viewed using either the New Posts or New Threads feature. I have asked, several times. |

Oatwilly knew he was in the Gustin board, based on his post. The response was due to Bentin and Exopbobe's poking fun at TS...which someone would only know if they were following both boards...confusion from cross-pollination isn't likely to be alleviated by renaming. Out of curiosity, how do you view the boards where you can't easily tell which one you're in? I use tapatalk mostly and I'm able to see both the thread title and board it is in before reading, and then the full path at the top of the thread once I am reading it.   |

I use a PC exclusively to view these boards. I see from your screenshot, it shows up the name of the forum when using mobile. On a browser, when you select either recent posts or recent threads there is no FORUM indication thus all untitled NEW ARRIVALS thread simply say NEW ARRIVALS with no context.

I don't install apps to view message boards, so I have to navigate through to the thread to figure out what the hell y'alls are talking about. I don't follow specific threads, I just use the Recent Posts. A request (from me) to change this is right at the top of the TS New Arrivals thread. |

Is the Zoomies worth 132 + 25 ? I really like the Loomies and I wear the Zim's several times a week as my beaters. Together I'd think they'd make a great pair. I've found the Zim cotton fades very slooow. |

they offered free shirts yesterday if anyone still reads the emails. With an ugly Gustin logo on them. I'm not afraid to wear a logo on my chest, but it wasn't a good piece of design work. |
