the slim guys and skinny guys have zippers - so if those fits work for you no button issues.

I can't speak for everyone who has had button issues, but i know that in the shop here we have not had a single problem since they switched buttons. The old buttons are branded with the N&F logo and feel a bit plastic-like. I had to replace a ton of those when they were being used. The new buttons have no branding on them and seem to be really solid. I'm not positive, but they appear to be the exact same buttons as i have on an older pair of Diors. N&F is also really good about supplying extra buttons if you contact them, and they are very simple to replace yourself.

i've never had any problems with the new buttons and i'm sure you won't unless you go overboard with sizing down

I've been wearing Weird Guys for about 6 months with no button issues. The buttons are not branded, except for the top one.

No button problems here either. And I sized down 2 or 3.

3 pairs never a problem

but i can't get my hand through the sleeve if it's already buttoned, it'll take some practice to master the button cuff
Compared to Gitman or EG, how would you say the quality and fit of N&F shirts are like?

I like EG but their stuff fits like a tent.

Please explain. Did you mean that the issue of button blowouts has been fixed by N & F at their production end ?

i don't have either to compare to at the moment (gitman in the mail actually), i love the quality, stiff knit, holds its shape really well, stiffest collar i own and love it. i'll take a fit pic tomorrow, wearing it for new years

yeah, they're using a new button, the blow out buttons were the open face style, like a donut, the new ones i'm not sure how to explain but they're covered and rattle a bit when shaken, more give, more secure

^^ Ok, maybe I will try contacting them for new buttons attaching a pic of my blown out buttons. Dont know what are the chances of them shipping them from Canada to India ..

Further to above, I have contacted N & F and they have offered to send replacement buttons.
