Gustin

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.

@4c:

I find this really exciting to be able to get this kind of quality so close to home.

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.

What's up with anyone's boner for anything? Let the man point north for whatever he likes. No need to be desultory just cos it doesn't do it for you….

Aye aye Fergz. With ya.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings… Just wondering what he liked.

[Seul]

No hurt feelings son - just thought it was pretty clear from his post what he was excited about.

I'm not won over yet meself though… But I will be following any evo Gustin makes closely... Always willing to support a US brand that produces their stuff in the US of A...

I see pairs of Gustins from time to time at a couple consignment shops for like $30-40 new. Quality of the ones I've seen are worse than Naked&Famous and APC. Not even nice enough to buy for $30 imho, but people like what they like I guess.

As a point of fact.  There is no way they can make a chore coat out of Ventile for that price.  The cost of materials would tend towards the price of the coat.  There is one source (world wide) for genuine Ventile and I'm prepared to eat a pair of 25oz jeans if they are using it….

I imagine a lot of people in the Southwest (AZ), and around the US, are getting boners for Lawless Denim.

I've never seen a kickstarter campaign get so over funded so fast. Another kickstarter denim company (like Gustin) but you can customize each pair of jeans individually and I find their choices of denim are more interesting than Gustin. No disrespect to Gustin. I like them too and have purchased their products. We may need a Lawless thread soon…

It is not Ventile….

They call it #8 Japan cloth 8.3oz.

That is not Ventile.  It is what Haraki and I call Jentile.  It is a Ventile look-a-like made in Japan.

Nowhere on the product page do they say "Ventile"

& BTW, I am not knocking what they are doing or what they are using, I am just pointing out that it aint Ventile....
