Has anyone come across some good vintage Gant shirts? Ive been finding some like these over the past couple weeks but never seem to find my size. I found one vintage "Hugger" from the 1960's and put it up for sale with a high price on my Etsy and I was disappointed when someone bought it.

Also just wanted to show off the last pics, I love how the current collections copy the orig details like the stamping.

I have a quick question on fit. Want to pull the trigger on a Gant Linen Blazer. Fit says "Urban", whatever that means.

I'm a 38r to a T in RLBL. 36r to a T in JCrew Ludlow. Other "slim" brands seem to vary between the two sizes. I'm ~19.25" pit to pit. Pretty skinny but have some chest, arm, shoulder muscles. Have a 38R RL Rugby jacket that fits great but arms a bit snug for example.

The size guide on Gant's site seems to be for shirts and sweaters, or their stuff fits REALLY snug in jackets.
Anyone have any feedback on comparable fit, greatly appreciated!

I am also 36R for J Crew and the Gant Rugger 46R/36R fits me about as good as can be. Not sure how close the Gant mainline would be to that but I've heard that the length is a tad longer when compared to the Rugger line.

I'm looking at that same linen blazer from Gant, not sure if I should get the 44 or 46, but I don't expect them to last much longer at that price. It looks like the Rugger Line fits a size smaller than the regular Gant stuff. I'm still afraid of that 44 though.

All - if anyone knows where I can source some Gant Rugger Cordster 5-pocket cords please let me know. I bought some when I was in the US in October and regret not buying 2 or 3 more pairs - now I can't find any online or ebay... help!

@Commissioner 33 ideally, though 32/34 would work

I've seen them online in Navy but that's the one color I already own and I was keen to get some other shades.

Just got a "Dreamy Oxford" in.... extremely disappointed. Fit is way different than my "Old Loom" oxfords despite both being hugger fit.
Didn't realize Gant was making their hugger oxfords extra extra slim now. The buttons are a joke as well. Wish I hadn't bought this on final sale.
