Spier & Mackay OCBD vs. used Gitman Bros. Vintage OCBD
I'm considering a new OCBD and am torn between a new S&M casual oxford, vs. a Gitman Bros. Vintage I found online used, similar price. Quality on the used GBV seems great, doesn't look worn.
S&M has returns, I wouldn't be able to return the GBV.
Sizing on both is very similar except GBV is probably too long to wear untucked, so I'd likely hem it.
S&M is currently out of slim medium, so I'd possibly get contemporary fit and have it taken in.
As far as Ivy details goes, collar roll is nice but I have no other preferences about them.
Would it be stupid to not go for the GBV? I'm very curious about how much of a quality difference there is and I've never owned any high-end clothing before. But S&M might be a "safer" choice due to possibility of returns - though the measurements online seem on-point.
