HAL9000, I'm usually a size 28, so I skipped out on the Kickstarter. These guys were right down the street from me and I really wanted to support an exciting up and coming local business, so I emailed Josh and Stephen and they had me come by (they're currently working out of a loft apartment in downtown SF). They told me that they do even less vanity sizing than most of the premium selvage brands, and lo and behold, I was very comfortably able to fit into one of the 29s. Did a quick size comparison and their 29 is actually slightly snugger than Naked and Famous's 28.
Just got my pair of slim Heavy Japans today and I love the cut. Like brillopad said, they are easily comparable to jeans 2-3x the cost. I love the attention to detail , like the buttons and rivets, patch, and selvage beltloop. If I'm not mistaken, these are made in the same factory alongside Tellasons and 3Sixteens.
Just got my tracking number for the Slim Cut Japan Heavy Slub, fyi for those waiting for their slims.
johnnyt Good question. I have the same concerns with what I purchased. I wear a 36 in just about everything. Levi's have been a staple for over 30 years and I wear a a consistent 36 until recent changes in the 505 fit. I did measure as instructed in the fit guide and came up around 35.5 ( i doubt my exactness ) I wear a 34 in Lucky's. I bought a 34 (35 inch waist) and hope i continue to lose weight or it stretches to fit. I thought about a 33 which is a 34 inch waist. Anyone in a similar situation and now owns the Gustin? I am looking forward to getting the jeans and figuring out the fit and getting a few more pairs. I also ordered the wallet and look to retire my George Castanza wallet! all the best everyone DuckOB
What size did you get in Gustin and what size do you wear in other manufacturers?As an owner of two pairs of Gustin jeans with different denim, I urge everyone to measure carefully your best fitting jeans for comparison and fit. Do not go by the label size of any other brand. Most manufacturer sizes are vanity and have nothing to do with actual fit.
I measured mine with a $1.99 tailors fabric tape measure. (a good investment for anyone who buys clothing online). I had no problem with the Gustin size chart, my measurements and the jeans I received. However, the size of any jean by any manufacturer will vary a bit from jean to jean. These are after all sewn by hand and variations of 1/4" or more can and will happen. Even manufacturers of fine tailored dress pants will tell you the same thing.
