nice, I know that feeling!  This was my first IH product as well (and still my only one actually, though I hope to change that soon).  It's a good choice!  I love chambray shirts and have had a ton of them from all sorts of companies.  I have and have had a lot of really nice ones but none that was the equal of this….it really is the ultimate in a chambray workshirt.

I think it can depend where you fall on the size spectrum.  I have a good handful of Gitman shirts, all in size large.  They are definitely more generous fitting than my IHSH-21 which is also in a large.  The shirts are very good for the price I think.  No, they aren't super overbuilt like the IH shirts but at 1/2 the price I wouldn't expect that either.  For oxfords they are very well made, nice buttons that are solidly attached and they hold up (and wash up) very nicely in my experience.  I think the collar is one of the best things about them, they have the nicest height, shape, and roll to their button down collars.  Oxford cloth is nice and substantial, but the new Japanese oxford-chambray fabric they are using on some styles this year is my favorite.  It's lighter weight but just has something that I really like that is hard to describe.

if only that were a large, it would be mine.  Checking the IH site every day for these to drop….

I need the red one.  Want the black too, but will probably hold off for the wabash I just saw pictures of.

any estimate on when these are going to hit?  Need to plan to fund at least the red one, if not both.

damn that red is good….that I will def. need to order!!!
