There are smarter ways to do everything, this just isn't a way that I will personally choose to support… It looks like they're successful so more power to them

I can see GMB's perspective and this rings true for anyone who appreciates the passion behind IH denim and works.

That said I don't think any less of Gustin because of their take on production. They choose the fabrics, they design the goods and if it's economically viable -enough people commit before an item goes to production- then the schizzle happens. This model accelerated their growth and means of getting their passion and design out to as many as people as possible. I don't think it's fair to say they lack passion. Their products are from the same genre of hard wearing Americana that I love but that doesn't necessarily mean I love everything they do, like any brand. I say more power to them and any interviews or features I have read with their founders brims with an appreciation and passion for what they do.

I don't think they lack passion. They love what they do - spend a little time looking at their blog and listening to their customers on their forum.  I got exceptional customer service from the co-founder when I had a question/issue.

Looks like Gustin is finally releasing a heavyweight  26 ounce denim today.
Should be interesting.

You're not crazy. I had a pair of the 18oz  for a bit and the weave reminded me of my 461 (non S) but obviously the Gustin's are lighter. I was tempted by the 23 oz they have available now - a very dark and tight weave.

I met one of those guys at Imogene and Willie last summer. He seemed alright enough, but like I+W it doesn't seem like something I would go nuts for anymore.
