Hey guys, trying to find measurements for the Vittorio sportcoat suit separates in 46/56. The website only shows up to a US42.

Very intrigued by the Capri Mike! Sounds terrific. Also if we haven't been contacted yet, is it safe to assume we haven't been short-shipped from the Gitman EFF? (Very much hoping I wasn't, as that happened to me the last Gitman EFF.)

Def my favorite scene from the Rivet Chino edition of the Blair Witch Project.

Mike can call me out here if I am wrong, but it should scale right up at the same increments. Thus 24.5 chest, 19.5 shoulder, 26.75 sleeve, 30 length. Should be pretty close!

@Epaulet

Cool cool. If I were to get a popover do I just order my usual size and y'all adjust accordingly or should I size up? Had one popover and boy did I wish I gone up a size larger.

 

[tgaith77]

Yeah, those are the measurements I came up with as well just by scaling up...

@Epaulet , could you confirm?

@applky LOL at the Blair Witch Project!

And yes I believe that Adele reached out to everyone already. Really sorry about the fabric shortages. I brought it up with the new President at Gitman, and even though they'll make it right with subs, it's still not good to disappoint customers who were expecting something specific. In the future, they're going to physically block off our fabrics once the sales start. They had done it before in their system, but being old school.. salesman could still write paper orders for it. We may have small stockouts due to fabric damage or mis-counts of yardage, but it should be really minimal

@tgaith77 yup that's correct.. the measurements will just scale in proportion to the other sizes

Just get your typical size @Valfunde ... I'll automatically make the stomach a bit less fitted so that it goes on more easily. Linen is going to make up bigger than cotton anyway. It's going to be a rad freaking shirt!

Thanks Mike! I really appreciate it. Looking foward to those Gitman shirts very much. According to the website calendar, they'll be arriving in the near term?

Do any of you guys dress your canvas Rivet chinos up with a blazer or sport coat? I couldn't find any pictures and I'm wondering how it would look. Thinking of purchasing soon.

@Valfunde

For the collar.. this is just my opinion, but I'd stick with just one "trick" for the shirt. In this case, the popover is special, so I'd do a buttondown, Artisan, or fashion spread for the collar. I'd do the band with a full button front. But that's just me... a band popover sounds rad, and Summer shirts are a good place to get playful and try something new

I'd agree with the one 'trick' sentiment, but I'd add one caveat - it depends on how you're going to wear it. I have a short-sleeve linen pop-over w/ a band collar that I absolutely love. However, it doesn't really work as a proper shirt - it's more like a slightly refined alternative to a henley or a t. I only wear it untucked and pair it w/ textured linen-cotton pants, denim or shorts. For all of those, it's a great look. It definitely wouldn't work tucked in with wool trousers, though.

Every day. Usually with an Alden boot or loafers.

Edit....found a few pics on my phone. Not full shots but all paired with Rivets. I also really like unstructured Sportcoats with Rivets (like LBM 1911 style) which is more often my summer look.

Don't think anyone wears the combo better then @tricky

Ha! Wishful thinking but too many insane fits in this thread

Nonetheless...

Maiden voyage of the Sandow tonight. Ten squats to loosen up, all gold after that. Looking forward to a strong rotation for casual wear moving forward.

Hey Mike, any updates on when the Teba will be complete? Not in any rush just curious.
