OCBD fit: Gitman Vintage vs New England Shirt Co
Oxford fit question. Anyone have any recent experience with New England Shirt Co vs Gitman Vintage? Trying to decide which one is the better choice. I like the look of Gitman, but their size large has a 47" chest vs NESC's 42-44". But then again, it's odd that the NESC fit chart has a 2" range as well. I'm not necessarily opposed to a more relaxed fit if the shirt is well constructed, but a bit worried the Gitman shirt will feel pretty baggy.
I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs, athletic build, with a roughly 41.5-42" chest. When I measured a couple old OCBDs from Everlane and Banana Republic (we're talking 10 year old shirts) I found the chest appeared to be very roughly 43.5-45".
Thanks!

I’ve been eyeing the New England OCBDs too. If anyone has one I’d be interested to hear about it.
