Gustin Selvedge Denim Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- In the world of selvedge denim it's easy to spend north of $300 for a pair of jeans. I don't understand how two pairs of pants made from the same material from the same factory can have such different prices. Brands like Gustin have made cool denim affordable, yes they're more than a pair of Levi's 501s but youre getting a much better product as well. Let me know what you think about this review of some Gustin denim!

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.
These are back and i just backed em. Literally seen them go from 42% to 60% in 2 hours
Great review, Carl! I would also add that choosing your size, you might want to take to consideration the denim's weight. If it is over 18 oz, I would recommend taking 1 size up from what their fit guide says.
Size 33 at 23 oz would feel tighter than 31 at 12 oz.
I got 11 pairs of Gustin jeans for the past 4 years and got my size wrong only once with my first pair.
Love my Gustin jeans. Thanks for giving them a shout out.
I just got a pair and I absolutely love them! They fit like a glove! Yasss! And I got them on a sale for $58! Score! Also, I got them within a week of ordering bc it was at the end of it. I also kind of like the unique runs that aren't repeated. It's fun that you have something no one else can get.
Damn, triple score! Well done!
@@CarlMurawski you've been a bad influence on me haha
These jeans are suprisingly available right now(alot of funders are even saying how they wish they had got it first time around), i havent seen this company ever only just seen them through a facebook ad which lead me here, i searched it up on YT because this specific pair peaked my interest, it is very insane and unique, never seen anything like that.
Good call on Violate, Ultraviolet is the color of the year this year.
Japan's red fire is back and I ordered some because of you. Thanks for all your info on denim I've learned a lot watching your videos. :)
I'm a huge fan of Jacob Cohen Limited Edition J688 with Japanese Denim which are made in Italy... bought 3 pair to wear as my daily jeans... But these have my interest peaked.. Thanks for the review.
I have three pairs of Gustin jeans. They're great and I love how they wear.
Nice! Same here man, there excellent
The button fly is a nice twist to it, and i'd be cuffing them jeans everywhere I go to show the red. Great review man!
+Fit Man Style I hear that! They're just different enough to be cool but not too "in your face".
I've ordered 3 pairs of Gustin jeans and one shirt. The materials are first rate, as is the construction. My biggest issues are with fit, and in some cases durability. These are made for a certain body type, not mine. The rise is low and the thighs are cut pretty tight. If you have a somewhat big butt or legs, you'll have chronic crack attack with Gustins. Even when I go up a size I'm always pulling them up. Second, if you buy one of the lighter denims, the button holes will wear a lot quicker. But they're so unique, I have to recommend them.
That red is crazy I love it
I own multiple pairs of denim, chinos, shoes and belts from Gustin. I even have sweatshirts and hoodies from them. Overall their quality is amazing for the money. I just wish I had a more tapered fit with them.
Gustin periodically re-run certain campaigns so if you like something that has gone, its always worthwhile checking their website or even subscribing to their newsletter as it may just be offered again.
You’re right, good tip!
Hey, can you do an update on this red pair to show how it fades? Maybe post a few pictures at least?
Ordered a pair of Cone Mills selvedge jeans in early March and they were delivered in August. While the textile, construction, fit and quality are excellent, they were absolutely not worth the wait time. I also have a Cone Mills work shirt pending since April. They are pitching a new campaign daily...seems they should focus on a core set of inventory and work on improving their follow-through. In truth, they would have to come up with something truly exceptional for me to consider doing business again.
I backed one of the shirt campaigns, it closed then noticed a few weeks later another one opened for it again. Does that mean my shirt will take like 4 months to get to me?
@@liljuanito123 They do run campaigns for the same items more than once. They did the same with my Cone 101 shirt. Your order should be shipped within the original time frame they gave you, but to be honest, don't expect it on time. I finally did receive my Cone 101 shirt - 5 months waiting. Not to scare you, but I can't justify the quality for the amount of time I waited. Also, I want to warn you that the fit is not going to be what you expect. My Cone 101 shirt is a classic cut XXL, and it fits like a size large slim fit. If I hadn't lost weight before I received it, I wouldn't be able to wear it at all. Good luck, Luis.
@@michaelbencze4323 that's the scariest thing about it is their fit. I've seen some CL XXL's on ebay and they meausre so small. I can fit into a 23.5 p2p (47) at min and that's pushing it. I ordered XL classic for my first shirt, should i just go ahead and just to the XXL? Thanks for your reply.
@@liljuanito123 I would say yes, go up a size. I also have t-shirts where the XXL fits like a Large. Gustin states they don't do vanity sizing and have no waste. In industry terms (I was in the industry for almost 20 years) that means their manufacturing specs are very tight in order to control their materials cost...they want each garment to cost as little as possible to produce.
Remember, if you lose weight, a tailor can always taper the shirt, but there's no material to let out.
@@michaelbencze4323 Ironheart's measurements are dead on give or take a cm or 2. Thank you so much for your insight.
Gustin makes a good product. I own at least 2 Jean and 2 workshirts. For the price you can't do better at least IMHO. I do wish they had more length sizing, however now I'm doing that fancy double cuff so they actually work out fine. The workshirts, herringbone, and fisherstripe are very nice though slim and long in the fit.
Gustin is great! It just takes forever to receive in the mail, since they need a specific amount of orders sold.
+Mr Riceball I know, that can be such a bummer if you’re really looking forward to getting something!
Gustin added the Japan red fire again a few months ago (Jan? Feb? 2019) I grabbed a pair after watching this, very unique looking.
For Gustin sizing consider if the fabric is going to stretch. Typical denim should fit a little tight bc the fabric gives with time. Certain fabrics used by Gustin are tight woven and will not give at all. The Monster Bedford Corduroy was one of those. In that fabric I had to go up 2" compared to gegular Gustin denim. In general I would add 2" to what fits in
levis/Banana Republic etc. If in doubt and with tight fabrics size up.
I'm a big fan of Gustin clothing. For shirts I order 2 sizes up compared to traditional US brands. I'm 6'2" 205lbs. In g
Gusting shirts I wear XXL. In brooks Brothers I wear size L. Considering XXL is the largest size they make big guys are going to be out of luck. Their sizing is closer to Italian high end fashion brands. A little anoying until you figure out the sizing. If in doubt size up.
Sounds as if their shirts are a no go for me. I have about a 46 inch chest. If I measure a shirt that fits me well at the chest, per their suggestion and double it, it’s 52 inches. I think the Gustin XXL is around 47”. That’s a big difference and a bummer because they have a great aesthetic.
Hopefully the jeans I ordered will work out. Going in a holding pattern until they prove a good fit.
Thanks for the info
If only naked and famous had my size, I'd be all in. Love those designs. I'm a size 42 32 currently wearing a year old pair of made in usa levi 501's. Great review btw.
Very much appreciated!
You meant Gustin! Naked and Famous does have our size 42 waist in lots of different models. Gustin doesn't have any size 42 and probably doesn't even have the 42 templates ...yet?
Excited for my first pair soon💪🏽🇺🇸
Hey Carl thanks for another great video. Just wanted to see if you've heard about a brand called Sid Mashburn they're not really well known so I was curious if you had, but in case you haven't I was hoping you could check them out and (hopefully) do a review. Thanks for the awesome content.
+victor osuna simas I haven't heard of them yet, but I'll definitely check them out. Thanks for the tip!
Love selvedge, especially when cuffed. How stiff would you say they are?
+Gentleman Within they're pretty darn stiff, it will probably take a month or so to get them broken in.
that’s a great characteristic of selvedge
like wearing a steel-belted radial...
The Gustin relaxed straight are still super tight up top. I think they need a more roomy cut.
Gustin shirts are some good shit, so are their belts. Please review some of those Carl, please.
Great video, very informative.
+Jay Sens thank you sir! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment, please let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see in the future!
Great looking pair of Gustins....... I ordered a pair of the 18 ounce and love them. My on,y problem I guess is since they come in only one inseam (36") and I'm a shorter stature guy, how do you cuff yours...? I normally wear about a 30" inseam so they are super long on me and I have to cuff them but I don't want them to have a huge cuff......
+Visaliaipa you’re absolutely right, they come in only one length so I’ve had to bring each pair to my tailor. It’s kind of a pain, but I have them leave enough for one cuff roll and it seems to work out. Now I just factor it into the cost and assume about $10 for hemming. Short guy problems!
New England Style Consulting look into railcar fine goods. They do a great job altering, sizing down, tapering, cuffing, etc. I bought a Gustin pair of jeans that were way to baggy and loose, railcar fixed them to my specs and now they fit pretty good.
The great thing about jeans is the way they fade over time. In the Gustin jeans in this video, the blue will still partially fade to white but there will be red too. What's that non-standard color combination going to look like, red white and blue? I have been wearing Levi's 501s since the late 1960s and never once scratched my vehicle on the rivets. It has never occurred to me that it could happen. It took Levi's generations to perfect the dimensions of the buttons in the button fly. If you make the fly buttons thick so they have edges, then little wear circles will appear on the fly over time. That is probably undesirable. Most importantly, are these Gustin jeans shrunk? If they are not, then surely you have to order them larger than your actual size.
I got my first pair of gustin Jean's a few days ago they're a bit tight in the waist but I like them
Oh cool. They should stretch out. How long did it take for you to get them after the campaign closed?
@@liljuanito123 I order them I believe in mid july very early August and gustins said it will come later September to early October so its like a 2 to 3 month wait
Do you have a web link for the color wheel?
If you ever get a pair of denim that too loose or needs to be tapered. Railcar Fine Goods does an amazing job altering your pants. I noticed a lot of people selling their Gustin jeans when it doesn’t fit right. I think you could simply get them tailored to fit like a glove.
Excellent tip! Don’t they also make some real heavyweight jeans?
@@CarlMurawski They do and nice tees. Very nice crew as well.
My problem is sizing, I don't have typical body
That sure can be an issue. I've found that knowing your measurements and carefully checking the sizing charts really helps.
Also, the price that Gustin gets you some denim fabrics and construction, you can get the Straight fit (like I do) and take to a trusted denim tailor for tapering to get the knee and leg opening just the way you like it. I always match the waist and thigh size first. the rest can be tailored easily. Even with tailoring, my Gustin jeans come well under similar brands with similar fabrics. No regrets!
Nice shirt.
Mi apellido es gustin jajaja
I don't know if it translates in America. However " see you next Thursday " is a light-hearted ( banter ) insult in the UK. ' C U Next Thursday '. I'm sure that's not what you meant haha.
Not at all, but here in the states we replace Thursday with Tuesday.
@@CarlMurawski I must admit I have wondered before why we chose Thursday over Tuesday. Both work just fine. As for the jeans, I've seen some but with a purple weft by PBJ. New I don't think they look that great. However I'm sure an older well worn and washed pair would.
I'll bet you're right, but I haven't seen any with some nice wear on them. I'm really looking forward to the result.
i have been waiting for a little over 4 months since the campaign was fully funded. the jeans are hit or miss with the quality of the build and sizing. this last one with such a long wait will be the last hopefully the build and sizing is good and i dont have to argue with them for a refund. i dont think i would recomend them. but they do have some nice fabrics.
Wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable in regards to “sel vedge”
Actually, no. Pronunciation may vary depending on specific dialect or regionality. What's more, there are actually 2 correct ways of writing it. Either selvage (US english) or selvedge (British english).
Their business model seems insane to me.
I know, but it seems to be working. As a customer though, I want my purchase ASAP. Waiting weeks or months is a huge bummer.
6:03 didn't know this before hand. Got a pair in 32 like i get everywhere and I couldn't even touch the waist ends together.
They've just re-run fiery red jeans campaign if anyone is interested. I've got my pair of 1968's yesterday. My first pair of raw jeans ever, looks very nice and fits well.
I have my pair of 1968’s. I just gave them their first wash. How have they faded? Mine are unfortunately low rise and squeeze my manhood too much to feel comfortable wearing them so the fades are almost nonexistent after 3 months.
Genius business model. Now you've got me into denim when I have 100 pairs already 🤣 ooo I love the red!
Wow. To the point and informative. Great review. Just found your channel. Looking at Gustin jeans now.
Awesome! If you can’t find what you like there, check out another great brand called Brave Star. Very similar prices, made in the USA, and some of the last Cone Mills you can find.
Gusti jeans is shite
Update how these have worn in? Are they just solid red pants now?!
Japan red fire release days ago, looking at the run, it only make about 12-14 jeans, within 3 days it is 100% funded
Been buying Gustin Jeans for 10 yrs takes a while to sort out the size.
What was the name of Gustin campaign you backed to get these jeans? I own several but my favorites are the 1968s...they just really fit my style
I think Gustin just released those again, and I really can't think of a better value than the 1968s. I believe this was the Japan Fire campaign for the jeans I show in this video, they recently brought it back and I saw something similar on Tate & Yoko a while ago.
I like the idea of this type of denim, but for the price per pair I'm concerned about durability. These jeans seem like something city folk would wear to the Starbucks. How does it hold up to compared to a pair of wranglers? I wear jeans to do ranch work in. My pants get ripped/ dirty and are beat up pretty bad. Will they hold up long term?
Good question, I love worn mine on the job and they’re good but nothing like a pair of double front Carhartts.
Here ill answer for him. 200% better than wranglers. Gustin are true raw selvage denim and it just doesn't get better than that. BEAUTIFUL JEAN.
Carl, why hasn't anyone called Gustin out on not having mill-sourcing labels inside their garments? Italian clothing makers always include them. I have two "Cone Mills" items and neither has any tags identifying the mill, so how am I to know I have the real deal? In truth, any selvedge denim could have been used.
Thats very true, and Cone specifically is usually branded as such. Good question!
@@CarlMurawski Correct, even Levi's have had the Cone Mills tag inside. I'm very seriously considering contacting Gustin and asking. Unfortunately, so much of my experience with Gustin has left me with the gnawing feeling that not everything is on the level.
Hi im from Bangladesh
I can made your all desire
I.... what?
You make the best reviews cuz it takes the average working man in mind
I can't find that plum color on their website
You're right, the way Gustin sells their products is through limited runs. My suggestion is to subscribe to their email list and keep an eye out, they've brought these back twice already.
Looks like when I rub hot Cheeto dust into my jeans a few to many times.
I'm a reseller and just found a pair of #24 The Slate grey ones. I had never heard of this brand, but I know quality when I see it. They are still pretty stuff, but I can tell they have been worn a couple of times. I listed them yesterday at the 1/2 price of new ones....we'll see how this goes.
