T-shirts and shirts are arguably one of the few men's styling tops during the spring/summer seasons, and of course, they are also the simplest and most basic items.
But we all know that they should never be underestimated.
Just like a T-shirt, there are spans from dozens to hundreds, and the knowledge here is naturally not small. And the shirt, as one of the good things for a gentleman, is even more profound, from hundreds to thousands, or even thousands, you can see.
When it comes to high-quality shirt brands, even if you haven't worn them all, you've heard a lot, from the top British Turnbull & Asse and Hilditch & Key, to the mid-range Kamakura in Japan and Brooks Brothers in the United States.
Galeries Lafayette is rumored to own 1,000 Hilditch & Key shirts
For many people, a shirt is considered a threshold to the thousand-yuan level, and this price may have to wait and see whether it is worth it? So, today we will talk about a shirt brand with a price of 1,000 yuan.
It may not be famous in terms of fame, but anyone who wears it seems to have fallen a little bit into becoming a real shirt control. It can make you more "picky" about shirts, and better distinguish what makes a "good" shirt?
Don't sell off, this shirt brand is Gitman Bros.

The shirt with the strongest "American taste".
As an American brand, to be honest, Gitman Brus is not as loud as Brooks Brothers, which is the representative of Ivy style and culture.
In the United States, however, the name "Best Shirt Maker" belongs to it.
Gitman Bros, which was founded in the 30s as a shirt factory, started out as a co-packer shirt factory, grew rapidly during World War II to provide cargo shirts to the U.S. military, and it was not until 1978 that the founder's two sons officially established the Gitman Brus brand.
Today, Gitman Brus still has a certain OEM business, and the more well-known brands are Thom Browne, which shows the high quality and has won the favor of the industry.
Gitman Bronze is also one of the few existing shirt brands that still insists on being made in the United States.
So it's also obvious that you can't see how obviously the shirt has a sense of gentlemanliness or formality in Gitman Bros, but more with an American retro connotation, with a slightly rough feeling, so that Gitman Bros's shirt gets rid of the role of a vassal as a suit, has an independent "thinking", and has stronger practicality.
After 50 steps, it is a complete process of making a Gitman Bros shirt, and the brand still adheres to the traditional sewing method of the 70s, which is made by experienced craftsmen by hand and machine sewing, with 20 stitches in 1 inch, which has outstanding durability.
Whether a shirt looks good or not can be seen from the collar:
The shirt collar structure of the Gitman Cros is generally not lined, and the collar fits perfectly around your neck, so you won't feel a strong sense of restraint even if you are buttoned up while wearing it, and it can also reduce shrinkage.
Of course, if you're a fan of straight-collared shirts, the Gitman Brus may not be right for you, but sometimes brands also add buttons (button collars) to the collar so that the collar doesn't become too soft.
These are the specific details of Gitman Bros's non-formal style.
There is also light and dark double stitching, which is a major feature of the brand from the military cargo shirts during World War II, which can further improve the durability of the shirt.
Gitman Bros basically implements a straight and slim fit, with the sleeves gradually narrowing from the shoulders to the cuffs, and the shoulders and arms are prominent and neat, showing a unique slim feeling, ensuring a confident appearance after wearing a shirt.
But at the same time, it does not have an obvious waist design, and the "racer" on the back can also ensure that the Gitman Bros has a certain amount of activity capacity, and the appearance is relaxed at the same time, and the wearing comfort is also good.
Gitman Brus is also known for its use of fabrics.
The brand is most famous for its 100% cotton material, mainly American Supima cotton and Egyptian Giza cotton, which is soft to the touch, high color fastness, and very delicate surface texture, and the resulting cotton corduroy, oxford cloth, flannel, seersucker are all very popular styles of the brand.
Especially in summer, Gitman Bros's cotton and linen blend styles deserve attention.
Thanks to the special fabric technology and the brand's own craftsmanship, Gitman Bros's cotton and linen shirts do not have the cheapness of ordinary hemp shirts, and while maintaining breathability, the texture is quite novel and full, and the upper body effect is outstanding.

A more interesting retro branch
Gitman Vintage
However, a shirt-focused brand, a single product line and operational strategy have also caused Gitman Bros to fall into a "midlife crisis".
Fortunately, in 2007, the brand ushered in a new creative director, Chris Olberding, a different way of co-branding and a new diffusion line, so that Gitman Cros burst out of fresh vitality and entered the field of young trends.
Here's the introduction to Gitman Bros' Gitman Vintage branch. Suffice it to say, if you're particularly addicted to floral shirts, or you're a fan of Cuban collar styles, then be careful, Gitman Vintage will definitely get you hooked.
Gitman Vintage
Gitman Vintage was launched in 2009 as one of the few branches of Gitman Bros.
As the name suggests, this branch line is mainly based on the retro Vintage style, which inherits the classic craftsmanship of the brand's main line, and depicts the effect of "dazzling" by paving a variety of printed patterns.
From tropical Hawaiian prints, to oriental classical elements, to old school cartoon graffiti, and even slightly "erotic" portrait patterns, Gitman Vintage dares to use them all, from relatively simple to complex and exaggerated, with a significant visual impact, as if wearing not a simple dress, but more like a bold tattoo that shows off your personality.
Different from the general American retro of the main line, you can find all kinds of retro feelings in Gitman Vintage.
If you don't like complicated patterns, don't dislike it, there are also stripes, checks and solid colors and other simple styles in the branch, don't be small.
Especially for men who are obsessed with open-collared short-sleeved shirts in summer, Gitman Vintage's straight-drop, thoughtful cut and "small V-neck" unbundled design, combined with comfortable fabrics, will not be understood until the moment they actually put it on.
Including the branch line Gitman Vintage, Gitman Bro's shirts are generally more than 1200 yuan, compared to this price, the cost performance is indeed not very high, there are so many brands today, you can easily find other alternatives. But we also have to know that the cost performance does not actually measure the whole of the shirt, and the actual subtlety of the seemingly simple appearance is often very different.
When we take something simple to the extreme, it may have long been out of the same category, such as shirts and T-shirts.
