#75 Okayama Standard

"The Gustin #75 Okayama Standard delivers everything a selvedge enthusiast could hope for, living up to every bit of the anticipation. Straight out of the box, the quality of the Japanese denim is immediately apparent. ​Unlike many heavy or stiff raw denims that require a tedious break-in period or an initial presoak, these feel incredible from the very second you put them on. The weave has a rich, refined texture that balances structure with instant comfort, making them an absolute joy to wear right from day one. It’s clear that Gustin nailed the craft on this run—the wait and every single dollar were well worth it."

"Fit, fabric and workmanship are great. I’m enjoying the easier fit of the slim fit."

"Love the jeans."

"This is my second Gustin pair after the 1968. It took me all of one minute of breaking in that first pair using Sally O'Malley kicks and stretches to decide I wanted another one, and the Okayama was a logical choice. It arrived just in time for my Christmas trip to Chicago, and all I could think of was all the honeycombing that 8+ hours of sitting in Economy Class would bring. I'm really happy with it -- the fabric is beautiful and the piece is just so well crafted overall. I could be happier, though -- just a couple of minor quality situations on the left leg. 1) About 1" of stitching on the outseam failed and was coming undone, which led me to notice that 2) from the knee down, the leg was about 3/16" tighter than the right. I let Customer Service know about issue #1 and was taken care of right away with a reimbursement for repair. Issue #2 is more of an observation than a problem. Still giving it 5 stars."
