@ProteinNerd , can you tell me what size your shirt is, and what's the sleeve length?
I'm sure it will look great afterward. I would be swimming in one at my height to chest ratio hahaDamn you @dudewuttheheck lol. It's now at my tailors getting a slight trim.

The couple of shirts I've gotten from them have all had very short tails, something I'm not fond of as I always tuck my shirts in (like a big boy, lol). Maybe these shirts were made by someone else?Up next is the American Herringbone Workshirt.
Size medium, classic fit. I probably should have gone for the slim fit but it's a casual shirt so....
Firstly, the material is really nice. Very thick for a shirt, it is almost a light jacket. I will be really surprised if this doesn't last 15-20 years. The build quality is great in my opinion, the only issue for me is it's really, really long, body and sleeve. I don't think it will shrink in the wash, most of Gustin's stuff is pre shrunk.
I think they are designed for someone 6'4. Is Josh Gustin really tall?
Anyway great shirt, would recommend if you can live with the length.

I wondered about those...I'll back a pair. Simple Chuck Taylor style is great. And I'd imagine they hold up far better, given the CXL.I recently received my pair of CXL natural high Tops.....great casual shoes. I love them, so much so, I’m eagerly awaiting my other casual shoes to fall apart so I can back the next cordovan pair.
That's why I've stayed away from Chucks myself. Everyone I know says this. I do have some fake Chucks that are better than Chucks, though. It seems like that's what everyone has to do.Yep same. Love my leather chucks but they have a very clearly defined 6 month-1 year lifespan.
It's a damn shame too b/c I love these and they are just no brainers to wear. But yeah. You're essentially flushing that $ down the toilet when you buy a pair. I just noticed the Gustin CXL version. Haven't seen them in black but that's the pair I'd get behind.That's why I've stayed away from Chucks myself. Everyone I know says this.

I love the idea of Gustin but it's a bit frustrating and kind of fun? way to buy. I wonder what % of their campaigns actually get backed.
It's a good question. I'm not a big fan personally so I have never backed any of their stuff. From what I can tell it seems that a good percentage do get backed.It's a damn shame too b/c I love these and they are just no brainers to wear. But yeah.
