Gitman Brothers Vintage

[VLSI]

Purple llamas, surprisingly appealing.

Pin-up, unsurprisingly hideous.

I shouldn't like that heinous Llama print as much as I do, but damn it, I've caught myself thinking about it several times since I saw it on your site this morning.
BTW, there's a small error in the write-up for that shirt:

nah dude, the colorway is great, llamas are one of those things you just wouldn't expect to work out (on a shirt) but the purple complements the yellow llama

From anyone that has owned Gitman oxfords or shirts in general... Is Context Clothing accurate in their portrayal of the way it fits? From these pictures, they fit really well and slim. If anyone has inputs, I'd really greatly appreciate it as I'm looking for nice shirts/oxfords that will last me a while and fit slim and slender. Thanks again.

I just picked up the Wimbledon chambray from Need Supply and I would say that Context's photos seem accurate in fit.

Very slim fitting through the waist, as the photo shows.

Take notice at how the box pleat in the center causes the lower back to billow.

Also, the small in gitman is pretty slim and small. medium is less slim. large is a tent. etc.

If you search the thread for (sizing) or fit you should get a bunch of input, but I like the fit. Mine fit me similar to the Context pictures you posted. I'm 5'8", 150 and wear a small. The only nit-pic I have is the back poof with the half pleat used on the shirts, but you can always have those darted by a tailor if it bothers you. Since I generally wear mine tucked in for work, it's not as bad.

Some great replies. Thanks guys! I'm planning to wear my oxfords and shirts untucked, not tucked. Will Gitmans look slim/shapely enough? Mind you, that I'm an XS, so I'm hoping they know their sizing for us smaller guys. And is the length shown on Context accurate?

It was my first Gitman Vintage shirt, but from what I've heard, depending on season and material, fits can be all over the place. I've also gathered that as you go up in letter sizes, the chest increases around 2 inches, which accounts for that tent-like fit of the large.

I'm 5'10, 160lb-ish and I also wear a small. I have a pretty small chest (somewhere between 36-37) so it fit me pretty well.

The particular Wimbledon chambray is pretty thin, so I'll most likely be wearing it untucked casually rather than tucked in, but I don't really have a problem with any kind of back poof.

I'll try to post fit pics later if I get a chance.

Awesome! Thanks man. Greatly appreciate it.

When I first started wearing GBV, I thought it was too blousy, but now the fit has grown on me

I am 5'7'' and 120 lbs and wear XS. I am pretty skinny around the chest and waist, but GBV in XS fits me really well. I usually wear XS in all brands if it's available, but S in brands that doesnt provide XS.

Oh **** that llama shirt is sick

 

[7_rocket]

The shirt that was posted, the front looks great but the back looks like crap. Am I the only one seeing this?

 

[g transistor]

That's pretty much how GBV fits. The box pleat is stupid.

 

[irbe]

Sure this has been covered but what is the best way to fix this at the tailor?
