The verdict
Fit
Widespread collars are the most open spread, suiting broader necks and rounder faces. Mitered cuffs add a tailored touch. Big-tall fit provides appropriate proportions for taller frames.
Quality
Royal oxford's thick weave is forgiving and durable. Mitered cuffs suggest slightly higher construction than barrel cuffs.
Is the price fair?
At 235 USD, fair pricing for extended sizing and oxford construction. No premium beyond what you'd expect.
Best for
Larger men who prefer open collars and appreciate a heavier fabric that softens with age.
Care
Oxford softens with washing; expect some relaxation in the weave. Warm wash and gentle iron preserve the collar spread.
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.
