#567 Vintage Army Selvedge

"This item caught my eye right away on my first visit to weargustin.mom. Back then, the photos depicted it as definitely more green than brown. Then I read the reviews and it began to sound like the white-and-gold-or-black-and-blue dress that broke the Internet a few years ago: one described it as "much greener and less brown than in the pics" while another said it was "not light or olive but a rich caramel brown". I passed on it. Two jeans later, I checked it out again, and saw that the photos had been updated to what they are now: clearly brown and not green, which made me ask myself, "Exactly which 'Army' did Gustin have in mind when they named it?" I backed the campaign and a few weeks later, I was opening a package to reveal what was definitely "not light or olive but a rich [and burnt] caramel brown" pair of jeans. It is beautiful. Instead of taking it to Blue Owl for hemming like I did the first two, I cuffed it Tokyo style. No contrast stitching to show off really; I just didn't feel like mutilating it right away. Today I wore it for the first time and it looks and feels amazing. It has the expected initial stiffness that I have now come to really enjoy the break-in for; substantial, but not too hefty. It is just right at home with an indigo Division Shirt from Taylor Stitch and dark brown cap-toe lace-up boots. The gold selvedge really is a nice touch and is all the contrast that this unique pair needs. Another 5 stars."

"Love these jeans! The color is a bit darker than expected, but I really like it and it's a very unique color. The fit and feel of these is really nice and they are already breaking in nicely after an initial quick wash and a few wears. Looking forward to seeing how these continue to break in/fade."

"this is my first pair of gustins and i ordered my size according to the sizing chart. at first, the waist was very tight and didn't measure out to the size i ordered. was a little worried about that but decided to wear them anyways and after a couple of days of wearing the waist loosed up and fit perfect! very impressed with the fit and quality. will be ordering more from gustin..."

"Seriously the finest pair of jeans I’ve ever worn. Custom made! I’ll be ordering all my jeans from you guys. Really high quality. Already ordered several more pairs. The fabric is amazing. Great work. Thank you!"
