@madmonday:

any preference between:

gitman vintage or hamilton 1883

if you have a preference, why/why not?

Gitman Vintage myself. I honestly can't remember trying on Hamilton 1883 recently. Gitman Vintage has a wider array of fabrics and patterns that appeal to me more. Some are cross overs. Not sure that helps but my opinion.

[madmonday]

ok, thanks for your take.

mulling over getting one or a dozen shirts & trying to figure out what route i want to take . . .

I can't comment on gitman
but I'm a big Hamilton fan, got 6-7 shirts, just the basics
the 1883 ocbd is my go to work shirt
the size M fits me perfect for one
the fit and finish is excellent
love the oxford fabric, so buttery soft and gets better with every wash
their customer service while not super speedy is superb otherwise
twice when I wanted to try another size
they just sent me out another shirt to try no charge
I appreciate that trust
they ain't cheap for an off the rack dress shirt
but I think they're well worth it

[jacoavlu]

oh and I've bought all mine directly from Hamilton

as far as fabrics etc, Hamilton of course has a huge custom shirt service too
the 1883 stuff is just the off the rack line

yeah i was checking them out cause you posted a flick of a linen shirt you had from them.  i investigate a bit more & boom,  here i am trying to decide.

i'm in ny i need to get my lazy ass in a store & check out the shirts 

i just really hate going in most menswear stores.  oh well one vote for each so far from two dudes that i see get fresh on a regular basis.  ok, where's nameness, dr.pat, geo (if you get fresh & i missed you sorry, these folks just came to mind right away). . .

jaco thank you for your take. I was unaware of all that. Going to have to look into it more now! Monday, I think you are good either way. Personal preference I guess.

[jacoavlu]

well if you get one
in my mind it's gotta be this
http://www.hamilton1883.com/our_shirts/blue_oxford.html
classic blue ocbd
might, might just be my fav shirt I own

damn right I said it!
hahaha

[madmonday]

nothing wrong with that jaco.

i have a few from each brand i want to give a test run.  guess i'll decide in the coming weeks

@jacoavlu:

monday noted we're all the way up to #53 on the shirts which is crazy
but of course there's several numbers in the 40's and 50-52 not accounted for…
would this be stuff in the pipeline...?

I guess this has been answered now…

I just finished machine washing this shirt:http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=35

Am I safe to do a load of whites/light colours or should I do another round of solids that are unlikely to bleed?

Check the inside of your machine - but I can't imagine it bleeding so much that it'd affect your next light wash lad…
