From my experience, the color will be closer to Ron Herman's.

I bought the shirt below from Context and it looks closer to the ShopDetour pics. Don't get me wrong - I love the shirt, but the color isn't as vivid and "pops" like the Context photos.

This is what I was talking about with the Context photos. This is the same shirt I linked to above, available elsewhere. Looks totally different. Which is closer to the actual color?

Look for shirts tagged with size 15 (neck). Supposedly, small is 14.5 and medium 15.5, so 15 should be right in between. Detour has few shirts tagged numerically, rather than s/m/l.

I wish the colors were as vivid on the shirts as they are in the pictures Context puts up. I get it is a 'vintage' look but the saturated photos make the shirts look 10 times better to me.

Context is the only venue where any of these shirts have really stood out to me.

I bought this shirt from Blackbird a month or two ago and just got around to wearing it today. Its tagged a medium, but fits like a smedium. Its perfect (for me). Fits way better than the other mediums I have, and its not tagged with a size 15 neck. This is also the only Gitman shirt that I own that has 2 buttons on the cuffs, angled (instead of rounded) corners on the cuffs, the sides of the shirt dont flare out, and has a weird button placket that doesnt run the entire length of the shirt and kind of goes crooked towards the bottom (im sure there a name for this, but I dont know it.) WTF is with Gitman's goofy sizing?

too small for me, but how do you purchase from them direct? and how did the prices compare?
