Super Heavies after a couple years of wear.

 

[Superfluous]

Those jeans look great CC -- jacket looks even better

 

[casechopper]

Thanks Superfluous, out of all of my jackets this is probably my favorite.

Looks as though Gustin are about to make their first foray into the underwear market. They really have lost their way, haven't they? Can't imagine how unsanforised denim Y-fronts will go down...

 

[tropicalbob]

Has anyone bought one of their canvas cylindrical bags? I see they're up on their site right now. I'm in need of a bag, so does anyone have any experience with them?

I've got one of their canvas duffel bags.

I found the fittings and leather quality to disappointing TBH. When I complained they sent me replacement metal hooks etc that were better quality. I believe they use the sturdier metal fittings as standard now.

I decided to keep it at the time but if I'm honest, I don't think it's worth what they are charging. It looks great and there is nothing wrong with it but I think it's just overpriced.

 

[Sloan1874]

I've not read great things about the QC on the bags.

Getting close to 3 years on these Gustin Super Heavies

I've not read great things about the QC on the bags.

i was also going to pull the trigger on one of their bags and read about some QC issues. i ended up saving up a few more dollars and getting a new filson med duffle off the bay.

 

[Sloan1874]

A better bet, I'd say. Generally, the jeans are a solid investment. I love my Zimbys and Okays, they're coming along a treat, and the others are all good stand-ins - but the other stuff seems to be either variable in quality or underwhelming in general. And let us not speak of the underwear...

 

[Fanch]

I think Gustin has attempted to expand their product lines very much like Bills Khakis did with similar results. I do concur with @Sloan1874 assessment of Gustin's Okayama and Zimbabwe as a fantastic value.

 

[Dugafola]

i slept on the last round of Okayama's. hope they come back around soon.

 

[Sloan1874]

As far as I know, Okays are Gustin's best sellers, so you'll get them once every six months or so. Same with the Zimbies.

I picked up the Heavy Americans last time around and like them a lot, but they're not for this time of year in Miami.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Has anyone bought their long sleeve henleys? Need some new ones and they look pretty nice. Just curious on the gernal sizing of their shirts etc.

I have not tried the Henley, but I do own a number of their t-shirts and a few button down shirts as well. As a general rule I find their sizing tends to run on the smaller side. I wear a size xl in the t-shirts and they are form fitting without being tight, similar to an American Apparel xl. In the button down shirts I wear **l which is at least a full size bigger than I have ever bought in any other brand.
If you have an athletic/slender build I think you will probably like the cut and feel of their shirts.

Gustin Super Heavies with around 3 years on them
I've reinforced the crotch and the area where my cell phone started wearing through by backing with scrap denim and sewing over the area a bunch.

 

[ButteMT61]

Wearing mine today too. I sill have four pairs fo G's and they are my favorites since most of them are on the heavier side.
16,6oz, 16oz, 18oz, and 21oz.
I know that if I need a new pair that they will fit me as the ~10 pairs I've had all did. Holding up well too.

 

[Sloan1874]

Are people still buying their stuff? I just had a look at their sale page and it was coma-inducing. I still like the pairs that I have, though I currently have my Pima Fires up on eBay - realised that I'd worn them a grand total of half-a-dozen times, tops, so out they go!
