Yea same one. You don't think your tailor could shorten it because of the hem shape? I've never actually taken a Gitman to the tailor. I'm 5'7" and buy a large, usually just roll with the longness but this one is extra long.


Partially the hem shape, partially because the hem is close to the bottom button already.

Actually, what the other guy said seems right. Seems a lot like their summer chambrays to me. 


Thanks guys. Went ahead and bought it. Love club collars. I've never ordered a GBV with numbered sizing (14.5") Is the fit any different on these or can I assume it will be in line with a usual size small?

fw prints suck really hard so far. The prints are getting dumber and dumber, like trying to be too ironic or whatever. Hardwood floor print, jean ass print, etc... like the hot topic of button ups

I have the same feeling with a lot of gitmans recent stuff. I mean that have always had a few weird prints, but it feels like at this point they only have a couple normal ones.

I love Gitman prints, even some of the weird ones. I own a lot... Dragonfly print, 3 florals, sakura woodblock print, purple aztec llama print, but lately it's just been crazy. Don't know what they're thinking or who even buys this stuff.

SS14 had some of the best Gitman prints I've seen. The bananas, fireworks, birds of paradise, orchids, etc were great. The weird ones were really weird though. Who is buying this? Gitman's site usually lists most of their prints so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these stores just made the weirder buys.

Also their long sleeve and short sleeve shirts fit me differently. I'm sure this has been covered at some point in this topic. The short sleeve is a great fit on me, but the long sleeve is a little baggy. So I usually don't buy anything from FW.

Never heard that before. Can anyone corroborate this? Good to know in the future if I want a baggier fit I can buy the long sleeved versions and turn them into short sleeve at my tailor.
