I bought the Chambray Short Collar in Teal off of www.shopstels.com and it's great but I haven't seen it or any other colors on any other site. It's not on Gitman Vintage's website nor is it at a bunch of retailers I've e-mailed or called this past couple of weeks.

They are the only place I've seen carry the short collar version of the chambray, but that color in the button down version is available at Frances May and Haberdash (where I got mine). Were you looking for something specific in a certain size?

I was just looking for another short collar Gitman shirt in M. Perhaps even the same one in a violet.

Gotcha. Try giving Haberdash a call. They had great customer service from my experience. They should be able to tell you what they have. You can also try calling Belmont Army in Chicago. They also sell Gitman (I got some sale shirts from them a month or so back thanks to a tip from a fellow SF member). Worth some calls at least.

So did Gitman change their sizing? Measurements on Context are about half an inch to an inch smaller in all dimensions.

Seems like it. I would've easily been a medium in last spring's shirting. But the shoulders are an inch smaller this year, which bumps me up to a large. Has anyone bought the black/teal seersucker shirt? The colors and pattern made it the easy winner of this season's batch, even though I'm not crazy about seersucker.

I've purchased two Gitman shirts this season in the same size (small) as I did last season and they still fit me great and in the same way as before.

I have Gitmans from S/S09, FW/10, and S/S10 and despite the measurement differences listed on Context, they all appear to be the same to me. I am not sure why those numbers are different, but if you know your size already, I would say get the same size.

I purchased my first Gitman oxford from another member, in medium based on Context's measurements, and it is too big.

The fabric and cut is nice but p2p is about 22" and shoulders are 19"? Ridiculous! From measurements I've seen online I think a small is too small for me? I fit nicely in Steven Alan smalls.

This red oxford will be up for sale shortly
