Attn: Hamilton 1883 Fall 2010

One of my favorite shirting brands, Hamilton 1883, just put some new Fall 2010 shirts online for pre-sale.  Camouflage, spread collars, red oxford cloth and shooting pads - there is a lot of good stuff here.  Seems like Hamilton 1883 is getting a little more adventurous too, which is most definitely a good thing in my book.  For those not familiar with the brand be sure to hit the tag at the bottom of the post, but for now here are the basics: made in the U.S.A. (Houston, Texas), great slim fit, and top notch fabric/construction.  These shirts are winners, no doubt.  This is also about that time where I apologize to my checking account for making it rain.

  1. Tiger Camo ftw. That shirt looks just crazy enough to work.

  2. The camo joint is dope as a printed shirt, but if I bought it I wouldn't wear it for two years to make sure the trend was over.

  3. I know these shirts have different styles but I still think its fair to compare these to Gitman Vintage even though that is not what I should be doing in a comment about Hamilton 1883. I just think the shirts are overpriced at around $200 a shirt. Gitman has some better options for around $50 less and I know that it's not going to matter for many people willing to spend that much money on a shirt anyway. Just saying the prices need to be fixed down a bit.

  6. Anon- Interestingly enough, Gitman Vintage has their own camo number for Fall 2010. And I agree with you, I would love to see Hamilton 1883 lower prices by around 50 dollars.

  7. Diggin the red, nice post L.A.S. Its likely that with all the new F/W stuff about to come out, Im gonna "make it hail" as Daniel Tosh would say.

    Btw, for a little less (about $115), albeit with fewer options, I think the Gant Rugger shirts are dope. Tailored cut and good length to tuck in or out and not look sloppy. Plus, 50% off at the 5th Ave store this week...yeah, I bought 4.

  8. KGS- Yeah man, I love Rugger too. Great shirt for the price. I have quite a few myself. Christopher Bastin is on a serious hot streak over there.

  9. No camo. My whole life I have been around people who wear camo shirts, jackets, pants, and hats and they're not people I'd like to be associated with. Wear that shirt in NYC and you're being trendy. Wear it down South and you look like your average redneck.

  10. Memphis- Haha, sounds like the definition of a sartorial conundrum.

  11. Wow, is it just me or have Hamilton's prices gone up? I much prefer the fit of my Hamilton 1883 shirts to my Gitman Vintage shirts, but justifying the extra (and large) expense will be difficult.
