Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

[Sloan1874]

Actually, I just checked how long my last pair took. They were fully-funded by 29th July, which is a lot faster than my first pair, so not too bad actually. Yeah, I would say there worth the wait - especially if you can get them through with paying import/handling fees, as I did today *punches the air* - it's full-bore denim and Levis' prices, and very quality to boot.

yes, the black coals are indeed very stiff! but I like it!!!!

Interesting development from Gustin: https://www.weargustin.com/store/1109

Too many pockets.

Anyone had a shot at Lawless yet? They seem to be very competitive price-wise and allow a lot of personalisation.

Here's the Downtown Browns, along with the Aero Shackleton and Amber Harness IRs.

damn guy, that shackleton fits like a glove. Nice one

 

[Sloan1874]

Great to see the Shackleton getting an airing - suits the jeans to a 'tee' - and St Andrews Square looking the perfect backdrop too, if I'm not mistaken.
My Gustin black x coal 18oz-ers really are a solid jean, much more solid than any of my others, and are going to take some breaking in - it appears those extra two ounces make all the difference! - but they're ideal for this time of year, and the slate grey weft means the black weaver is heavily saturated but with 'something else' going on that lifts them.

That Shackleton is extraordinary. :thumb:

Well spotted, Sloane. You should be a detective or a journalist or sumfink.:eusa_clap I wouldn't have said the location was at all obvious.

The blackxcoals look tempting, and a nice heavy weight. Hope you get them up here sometime.

I thought I recognised the building in the far left corner of the pic, but the give away was the high number of Chelsea tractors in the background, which you always get in St Andrews Square on account of Harvey Nicks' presence.
I will take some pics of the BxCs tonight. It's not been the most comfortable of first wears today, though it pales into comparison with my 21oz UBs.
Edit* I see Gustin are doing unsanforised denim for under $100:

So I finally got my grey silks after a couple of backings.
I like everything about them, the only downside is that they are very light.

I dont know what to do about cuffing. I never cuff. I did 15 years ago, where I used a single open cuff but today as a grown man Im not really sure how it looks. I think it looks good in all your guyses pic but when I try myself I dunno.

But I really want to cuff theese pants since the selvedge ID is very nice and the shine also brings them to another level. But to look the least like a teenager, what is best: single open cuff or double cuff?

Lol I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought about this...I'm nearly58 & had to think long n hard bout cuffing..Got over it now & wearing a single cuff or turn.up as we call it in Scotland...I wish gustin would do 32/34 inseam though..that's my only complaint with them..

 

[GriffDeLaGriff]

Ok so thats:

Single turn-up: 1
Doubble cuff: 0

Since the early 60's nobody's worn cuffs on their jeans in this country, so it's taken me some time to get used to it. Once you do, though, you stop worrying about it. I just wouldn't wear them with a jacket and tie. I'd say roll them up to where they look best.

 

[handymike]

The 34" inseams are too long for me. I do 1 big one on my heavy Japan's when I wear boots. The others tend to get 2 rolls and normal shoes.

 

[Sloan1874]

I tend to double cuff.

 

[Cyber Lip]

I have to double cuff mine and it's still pretty wide. I hear you guys. When I looked in a full length mirror the other day I thought it looked silly, especially on brand spanking new unwashed jeans. Thing is I don't want to hem them until they've been through a few washings.

 

[handymike]

Exactly!

One more reason to roll em up.
I do one big fat single cuff but then again my jeans aren't slim.
