Gitman Brothers Vintage

[Tsujigiri]

I think I heard a rumor that Gilt has some Gitmans made especially for them from leftover materials.

On a side note, I picked up one of those Stussy collabs, and the sizing is way off. Far too tight in the chest for the posted size, and too baggy in the arms.

Also, have you guys noticed that a lot of GV stuff bunches up behind the shoulders? I haven't encountered a cut that does this anywhere else. Guess it's not a big issue...

Got a navy gingham from Need Supply yesterday and was hugely disappointed to see it has a smaller collar than usual. Not seen this before on GV - I'm used to the standard 3". I haven't measured it yet, but I'm assuming it's a 1.5-2" collar. What's up with shrunken collars on GV shirts - when did this start happening?

anyone ever tried the basic white oxford? It is extremely stiff and gets stiffer with every wash, anyone have any solutions? my oxfords usually get softer every time.

What shirt / size? Might be interested.

Navy gingham. Large. Think it's a poplin fabric. Really nice shirt, just disappointed with the collar size.

Has anyone gotten the firetruck red. It looks so good but I'm not sure if I'll wear it. I'm really skinny but not sure if I can pull it off. It really pops though, anyone experienced a similar dilemma?

I have it. I don't wear it all that often but I like it.

Looks amazing, but I have the same issue as you. Same with the mustard yellow one End stock.

Any advice on keeping my white oxford, white?

I am like a stain magnet right now.

Bleaching is out of the question as greatly harms the fabric.

I just wash them much hotter than my other shirts. They don't shrink, and the fabric is tough enough to stand it. I also usually wait and wash it with other whites - so things like towels that I can't also wash super hot.

I live around a bunch of surenos, that shirt would get me killed

Is it soft? My white one is too stiff

Well what better way to end this bloodshed than through a peace offering of quality gitman shirts!

I know right. We both need to overcome this senseless fear.

It's about the same as a regular white OCBD, so that might be stiff by your measure.

Although, I do find with darker overdyed shirts that the elbows tend to fade, especially if you wear them at work.
