Nice fit - jacket looks great, maybe best I've seen it. Black is cool..
Okay, the bush pants/shorts (same cut for both) don't run as big as the west point chinos. You will often hear people complaining about the seat/butt/waist area being disproportionately large in some W+H pants, but these are different. They may run about a size to a half size big (apologies as I cannot measure today), but from my recollection, not huge. So I would suggest, being final sale, to meet your waist fluctuation in the middle and go with a 31. If a 31 is not available, I would suggest trying the 30 and hope you can wear those - might be snug, but I think it should be okay if you're referencing a 30-32 typical range.
The double layer pocket crewneck and the short sleeved henley can be sized together. They both run true to your normal size. W + H is kind of losing their rep for creating tiny clothing. In my opinion it was the older tiger fleece hoodies which created that perception. They were so wildly popular that the specific sizing of the tiger fleeces (i.e. snug) became the perceived status quo for the brand. However in recent seasons everything has been leveling out in my opinion, including the hoodies. So with that information said, if you can wear a size medium in Gitman, you will be fine with a wings medium in both of those pieces. You said you had some muscle -- you'll need it in the short sleeve henley. Unfortunately I think that shirt is probably sitting idle in a lot of drawers. But again if you are in shape, it will look great. The pocket crewneck takes a slight departure from normal wings cut, as it is kind of on the longer side (my observation being 5'8"). Not suggesting that's a bad thing of course, just for your information. The sizing is true to your normal size, and remember there is a lot of stretch - as with the henley.
For the dungaree, that is also cut true (relatively slim, but not overly by any means) and if you wear a medium in Gitman, I am about certain you will be fine with a M in the nep dungaree long sleeve. I would say it might even be a touch roomier than gitman. Hope this helps - good luck - let us know how it works out if you're able.
