#75 Okayama Standard

"I am very pleased with the 32 Slim sizing. Out the gate the waist was comfortable with no belt needed. After a week of wear I can feel the waist is relaxing, still don’t need a belt. The denim feels more premium than other designer selvedge I have purchased in the past. Previously I have the Rainbow nep selvedge in 31 slim and after a few washes they have shrunk and they are a little tight front rise and waist. I’m confident that the size 32 will hold up to shrinkage over time and still fit me."

"They arrive stiff as a board. Thick luscious denim. They will need a couple of months to break in. So In a couple of years I’ll be able to let you know how much I like the. My last pair( similiar denim ) are v worn and faded nicely down. But still retain the weight and have another 10 years in them. Expect these will be likewise. Excellent value. Most jeans that I bought (prior to Gustin)lasted a year."

"Took one return to get the right size , but once I got the right size they are perfect - the 14.5 oz is a great weight for any climate- the weave of the denim is tight so it doesn’t blow out - the straight cut is slightly roomy but not boxy, allows for range of motion great 50’s look rolled up and the rise is mid to high which really works for me - I’m usually a 31/ 32 but 33 - best fitting jeans I’ve ever had"

"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."
