gitman is terrible

I would have to agree with this. I got one after reading all the reviews on here. Have to say I was un-happy. The collar feels like a neck brace. Being in Hot & Humid Houston I'm not a fan of that.

Oh,and that box pleat. I hate box pleats.

True. the collar is high. but i like the fit and length of the shirt, which are the only OTR shirts that fit me.
i would never buy gitmans on retail.

Inconsistent sizing, mall fit, meh designs, terrible hem, rising prices, plastic buttons...need I go on?


Gitman can be summed in one word INCONSISTENT. I have poor and good experience with the shirting including fit (as good as OTR can get especially with those who have a muscular build). Some of the unique prints is when I consider paying retail or else buy on sale and hope for the best.

WTF. I had to settle for a normal Mexican burrito. Now that I'm sober I don't feel like driving to Palm Springs anymore


Pre-sale started yesterday. No need to drive; tell them your size and what you're looking for and they'll email you pics.

I guess I already missed the porter founding member sale or did it not happen yet? Should start around Black Friday right?

From what I gather, it hasn't started yet. I'm not a founding member, though. I'm just keeping an eye on things.
