I'm really sold on the Bureau's own Merchants & Missionaries shirts, which are made by Individualised Shirt Co. I don't know if the fit is specific to M&M but it's quite trim on me and I'm reasonably triangular still.

I don't think the pattern is unique. Gentry sells a few shirts by them and the measurements are almost exactly the same as TBB gives for the M&M shirts.

Anyone know how it would compare to how Gitman Vintage fit?

It was 16c here yesterday, it's Scandinavia in November, ffs.


Friday, I was walking along the Thames with rolled up shirt-sleeves in 22 degrees centigrade... Dropped to 14 today, but hardly cold - I don't know when I'll get to dig out the EG shawls I bought two months ago...

I only have one Gitman shirt and it fits like a bag of spanners. Aren't they known for being unreliable as far as fit goes?

I've been using a Baratza Encore for about a year and a half now and I like it. I don't take coffee as seriously as some of the guys in the coffee thread though.



I've been happy with my Baratza Virtuoso.



i've got a baratza virtuoso that i love.



Thanks, y'all. I'll probably pick up one of those if I can't get a replacement part for the Capresso Infinity.

Do I really have to be the one to mention Epaulet? Their stock OCBDs are made by NESC and are similar to Gitman but with a slimmer fit.

I tried Proper Cloth and they are fine if you like your MTO shirtmaker to second guess all of your measurements and build in ridiculous "shrinkage tolerances" that the fabric will never hit in a million hot wash & tumble dries.

Hm, maybe you could force them to change their name to Improper Cloth. It happened to a local attorney here, one who billed himself as the "tough, smart lawyer" when his behavior proved otherwise. Get on the case, Van Buren!
