#567 Vintage Army Selvedge

"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."

"Very happy with the vintage army selvedge! I find the color to be more of a dark brown than the taupe-gray color it looks like to me in the pictures, but I really like the color regardless. Looking forward to seeing how the fade looks after some wear."

"Got these in 35 Slim after having a great experience with this fit in another one of Gustin's selvedge denims. Very very nice pair of jeans. I am wearing them to my professional office job for the second day in a row and like them so much, I had to order a second pair. I normally wear professionally cleaned and pressed indigo denim, but I am getting good feedback with these. Get a set if this color is up your ally."

"Very special color that brings a cool style. The non-regular jean color makes these a cool look. The fit is great in the slim cut for me. Highly recommended if you want a different look outside BLUE jeans!"
