Button Down Oxford Blue - Big/Tall
The verdict
Fit
Designed for big/tall proportions with longer sleeves and roomier cut. Button-down collar sits classically; expect a tailored but not slim silhouette typical of Gitman's American-cut shirts.
Quality
Gitman Vintage is known for dense cotton and careful construction. At $235, the price reflects solid American-made standards rather than luxury; durability should be reliable over years of wear.
Price check
Mid-premium for a dress shirt. The price is fair for heritage American manufacturing and cotton quality, though the pure blue oxford is a basic utility piece rather than a specialized cut.
Best for
Working men and professionals in bigger sizes who want a foundational dress shirt that won't fall apart after one season.
Care
Cotton button-downs benefit from cool-water washing and ironing while still slightly damp to maintain crispness.

What owners report about Gitman Vintage button-ups
Owners report shirts that are unusually well made — made-in-USA construction with a heavier oxford cloth than most, which softens with washing and holds up over years of wear. Reviewers say the shirts feel built to last and improve with age. The recurring complaint is sizing: fit can vary substantially from shirt to shirt even within the same labeled size, enough that longtime reviewers advise trying on in person or buying only where returns are free. Price also draws grumbles — reviewers call the shirts expensive, though most concede the construction backs it up.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the construction and the substantial oxford cloth, saying the shirts feel like they will last a lifetime and get better with age.
- Watch out for
- Sizing inconsistency is the recurring complaint — reviewers report shirts in the same labeled size fitting dramatically differently, along with a high price.
- Sizing
- Owners advise treating each shirt individually: fit varies between pieces even in the same size, so check per-garment measurements or buy where returns are risk-free.
