Does anyone know of stores that are carrying for fall the red chambray or any of the antique/overdyed oxford shirts from Gitman with short point/key collars (or with a button down collar that is shorter, which I think I have seen the do on some special collaborations)? I am not a huge fan of their normal button down collars as they seem too long or high to me.

Does anyone know if the red chambray for fall is different for the one from spring/summer? I had assumed the fall one was thicker and in most of the pics I have seen it appears darker than pics of the spring one, but I do not really know that for sure.

I picked it up last week. It's definitely thicker than the S/S one... but not as thick as last season's blue chambray. It's a good mid-weight shirt, perfect for the transition into fall.

Completely disagree. Jcrew XS fits like a tent compared to Gitman XS.

Try the XS anyways though, but be prepared for a tighter fit.

A J.Crew XS is equivalent to a Small in GV. If you wear J.Crew extra small, and extra small GV will be very small on you.

I believe, all Gitman Brothers Vintage shirts are washed already.

Thanks, I've seen pics of the ones modified with darts which I don't like, should I just tell my tailor to use the side seams to make the shirt slimmer in the body?

Yes! My tailor does that, and it's perfecto.
