yep, it's coming....https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...29322214.39765.172394592780361&type=1&theater

I stopped into the store today actually and picked up the red overdye oxford to add to my Gitman collection. Not sure when it starts online but it will be soon, maybe tomorrow even. Not sure the white oxford counts as a FW11 item however as it's really just a constant offering from Gitman and doesn't seem to change from season to season. Still, other good deals to be had I'm sure. Wanted the blue/pink flannel as well, but decided to stick with just the red od for now.

Are size smalls long enough to tuck comfortably? I'm 5'11"


I guess it depends on the length of your torso but I'm 5'11" and wear a medium and its barely long enough to stay tucked on the sides. The front and back are plenty long, though. It's kind of weird. They're right in that zone where the front length is too long to look normal on me untucked (just looks sloppy) but just long enough on the sides to look stay tucked. Occasionally it gets annoying when the sides get untucked if I have to really stretch or reach high to grab something, though.

Picked up 3 Gitman Bros (not vintage) OCDBs (blue, grey, purple) at Off Saks on Fifth Outlet for $38/each. They actually fit. Man, Gitman's sizing is all over the goddamned place from line to line.

I'm hoping that these will be my *last* OTR shirts except for replacement beaters as I move into the world of MTM.

Any of you Gitman nuts like me have any experience yet with New England Shirt Co? I just purchased the blackwatch pattern shirt from Unionmade. We'll see how they compare.


Blackwatch runs a size small just fyi

I hope you are speaking of the Gitman blackwatch... I knew that one was one you had to size up.

I hope you AREN'T talking about the New England Shirt Co one. I ordered my usual Gitman Oxford size. The chest measurements on Unionmade were the same. Can you clarify?

Speaking of the Gitman blackwatch, I have a large that I'm thinking of parting with for a fair price if anyone is interested. I'm on the slimmer end of a Gitman medium and the large looks a little odd on me, like an Engineered Garments BD shirt.
