Unpopular opinions

Look, all I'm saying about Gustin in particular, and I can't empirically question their ethics as I have no empirical evidence, is that they riff the quality angle hard and I think that there are questions to be asked there due to their price point.
They talk about artisan quality specifically which I am pretty sure is seriously bold claim considering they don't use proprietary fabrics and contract their sewing out.
They make a play of being the equal of the high end of denim, both Japanese and American but it doesn't stack to me, plus the attitude of (some of) their customers rubs me up the wrong way.

If anyone has anything more than just speculation that Gustin and its factories (could in theory) have a policy of illegal employment than I will never buy from them again or any of the other brands who use the illegally hiring shop. But if there is zero actual factually based problem with this than I have about as much reason to suspect Gustin as I do any other company…

I am also trying to overcome my ignorance towards Southern-Asian countries and my thinking it's àll sweatshop made…
