#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."

"These are hands down the best fitting pants I have ever owned. It’s like getting custom made pants at a fraction of the price. I am a tall slender guy so pay attention to the Vanity fitting advice. I usually wear a 33 waist but needed a 34 with the 36 length. I will definitely be ordering more and to top it all off, they are Made in America 👏. Thanks for providing such a high quality product at a fair price. Well done."

"I purchased a 36 slim (typically wear 34 in other jeans) and they fit perfectly. I am a big fan of the slim fit with the lower rise, which tends to be more flattering on my body. I love the color, which appears brown with slight green undertones. The only thing I would change is the 36 inch length which requires me to have larger cuffs than I would normally wear, but that isn't a deal breaker."
