Well, the call has been answered. Before you is some examples from US shirt makers Gitman and their Vintage range in particular is well worth considering.

I must admit, £165 is hard to justify for “just” a shirt but, will you see another soul in a 50 mile radius with the same piece? Its not to say that only that matters but, its certainly nice to get a comment on a shirt absolutely no-ones seen before when your out with your buddies. I doubt a single soul has heard of the brand let alone the wicked prints they bring out.

And considering only “premium” menswear stockists will hold them and not your local Topman its something certainly worth looking into. Each piece in itself is unique, exceptionally well made and can easily stand the test of time without the risk of being overlooked in a months time when it comes to your next outing.
