Hamilton 1883 S/S 2010
Hamilton 1883's S/S 2010 collection has been out for a while, but for those of you who might not be aware or need a refresher I got your back. Hamilton 1883 is a big deal. As I've mentioned before, "an American shirt maker hitting their archives to produce (cut and sewn in the U.S.A.) faithful recreations of a few classics in a modern fit" is a major coup for us style minded cats. I previously touched on the absolutely killer red linen pullover/popover, which I am lucky enough to own, and thought that now would be as good of a time as any to highlight the remainder of what's up for grabs. The new additions for S/S contain some great short sleeve options in a variety of fabrics and colors - linen, chambray, gingham, check, etc. I'm obviously partial to the popovers, but for those of you who find the style a tad unwearable there be something else that will fit right into your sartorial repertoire. And as per fit and quality, often the crux of many a purchase, you'd be hard pressed to find a brand superior to Hamilton 1883. Check out some of the great short sleeve shirting below.

At least in the case of their L/S offerings, the fit of Hamilton’s 1883 shirts is off. These shirts run BoO small which means most guys will probably size up. However their sleeve lengths imo run long: a 35 for a medium and a 36 for a large. If I had to do it over I would go for one of Hamilton’s custom made shirts as, at least with the 1883 that I purchased, the quality and fabric is indeed fantastic and I would assume this would be the same for their other offerings.
ReplyDeleteJim, the sizing on the shirts has increased slightly since the line was launched. They are still smaller than JCrew, Polo, etc. But, they are bigger than Band of Outsiders, Rag and Bone and many other designer labels.
ReplyDeleteThe original fit sounded good, shame they changed it. You can always get sleeves shortened but you can't make them longer
ReplyDeletewe all like our little shirts, don't we?
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of each! Great blog!
