#567 Vintage Army Selvedge

"Gustin makes great jeans but just like their t-shirts don’t fall in love with the color in the photos or you will be disappointed every time. These are great chocolate brown jeans and I love the fit and feel but I really wish they were army green like the photos that convinced me to purchase in the first place. I really do try to only buy the lower priced items on offer now because I have not once been happy with the color in person compared to online photos. 4 stars because they are still great and will last forever."

"Love the pants but they are much greener and less brown than in the pics, and the white weft isn't as visible. It might be because the pair in pics is washed, but just be aware!"

"This item caught my eye right away on my first visit to weargustin.com. 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."

"Nice pants, but the photos are misleading. They are not light or olive, but a rich caramel brown cotton with none of the denim-y finish you expect. They are brown, cotton button-fly pants."
