    Undershirts still rebellious?

    I have no idea what type of shirt the OP was wearing, but I think a distinction needs to be made. I own a bunch of "undershirts". They have short sleeves, are made of thin cotton, and are worn under dress shirts. I also own a lot of "t-shirts". The t-shirts are heavy cotton (or even a few...

    Wrangler Cowboy Cut Relaxed (and Original) Fit Jeans

    I bought two pairs of American Originals about 10 years ago (I don't recall if that was the name of the style back then). They weren't the raw denim, just the regular denim, and 32" waist. I tossed them in my normal warm wash/medium dryer, and they must have shrunk 2" in the waist. I learned...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    That is cool that you got to meet Cody! If I get a chance to head to San Fran, I definitely plan on stopping by their store/office. My Japan Azures arrived on the weekend and I wore them today. The color is the perfect spring denim! I don't know where Gustin finds these odd color denims, but...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    The Gustin community page is pretty much all Gustin, but I think it provides a fairly direct (and quick) link to how Gustin's customers are feeling about something. It might ramble for a few days, and then a jean shipment arrives for a bunch of folks and if there is a problem, it gets posted...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I do agree with Sloan on some of the quality control issues. The bar tack isn't required, but I thought it was a nice feature that Gustin was trying to include on all their jean releases. I think they are working the issues out, and if you ever head over to their Community page on the Gustin...

    Wrangler Cowboy Cut Relaxed (and Original) Fit Jeans

    Yup, I also like the 13MWZ jeans. They are close to 14oz denim, which is about the heaviest you can buy short of going for the heavy raw denims. I figured all the Loungers would be wearing these because of the higher rise. :D I don't notice the blueberry color. After several washes they look...

    Sloan, Do they have any bar tack? Mine have had it lately, but a lot of times it is the same color as the rest of the stitching.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I like them. On a lot of the raw denim I wash them before I even wear them to get the starch out, make them softer, and get any inseam shrinkage out of the way (Gustin seems to use excellent denim that has minimal shrinkage, maybe 1/2"). On the Raw Umbers I didn't wash them because I like the...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I saw the pics of Butte's son. He does look cool in them. When I wear mine one of the guys I work with calls them my "Nantucket Red jeans", which is pretty much what they look like. It's like that red pants link posted a few pages back. You have to wear them like you own them, or it will...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    Good to see all this Gustin love! I've backed a few things that have shown up lately as well: BlackxBlack GreyxBlack Raw Umber Oxblood and some of the standard indigo jeans The GreyxBlack are probably my favorite, but the Oxbloods are just so out there I like wearing them. I've been thinking...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Yup, if you push the pencil against your foot, it will affect how White's reads the sizing. You always have the option of re-tracing and sending it in. I do have to laugh because I had my wife do the tracing several times. If I ever have to do it again I will find some friend who likes boots...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I'm similar to Grayland, 1/2 size down at the most, or even the same size. That said, 11EEE is a wide boot. Are you sure you weren't buying 11EEE because you couldn't get a smaller size in a wide enough width? How much room do your toes have between the end of the toes and front of the boot...

    I've been looking at that army canvas chore coat as well. I like the look of it.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    The red stitching on the inside of the chainstitch should still be there. The red bar tacks in the inside bottom cuff seam and under the crotch were causing problems, but according to Cody from Gustin, that problem has been fixed. Those 23oz look like they are going to wear in nicely. It...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    They look great! I usually go for more of a matte finish, but there have been a lot of boots posted here lately that look awesome with a shine on them.

    I really like the looks of those waxed cotton truckers. I'm not as big a fan of the indigo denim ones. I don't know why.

    6" Cap Toe Boots

    Retro, While I have never been in a motorcycle accident, I did fracture and sprain my ankle many years ago and certain footwear is unwearable for me due to the injury. I have three pairs of White's and I find all to be exceptionally comfortable. I'm not sure why you prefer veg tanned, but one...
