tempted by the gant sale as i could use a couple more casual buttonups but damnit the sleeves on those shirts are way too ******* long for me. and i have long money arms

perhaps its only a coincidence but not a single model is wearing his shirt with sleeves rolled down


Hmmm..... I have I think 8 Gant Rugger BDs, 6 XL and 2 XXL, and none of them strike me as unusually long. I have one hugger (older model) and the rest are EZ fit. Though really the hugger is equivalent to todays EZ because they must have slimmed down everything at some point.

Gant has arms sized appropriately for dress shirts. Approx. equivalent to Epaulet in same size, maybe 1/2" longer? I like Gant partly because they come up for cheap and are lightweight. Also the cuffs have a double-button so you can adjust them for different sized blazers/jackets.

Good, thought I was the only one. My Gant oxfords from ~2 years ago (they are the "Old Loom" oxfords) are my favorite shirt ever. The fit is slim but still comfortably loose. I got a dreamy oxford in the same size and couldn't even button the damn thing :/

Re: Yoox
Do some items straight up disappear from your Dreambox sometimes? I mean, it's not even listed in the "Sold Out" section, just up and disappear. It's REALLY annoying

Gant by Michael Bastian's line is the one that has ridiculous arm lengths. I've been told by someone who is close with the line that Michael Bastian uses his own body for fit and apparently he has incredibly long arms.

Gant in general has some pretty odd oversized fits.

It does. Usually happens if they are shifting the items to 'sample sale'. It will reappear a shortwhile later.
