Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
http://www.vintageformen.com/X0554.php
Hey,
this is my first post and I just found this nice looking vintage shirt in an unusual fabric and thought someone on here might be interested. I would buy it, if the sleeves were a bit longer and it was half price...

I think what he means to say is "Hello Soulquentin, welcome to the forum thanks for sharing your find with us..."

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
Thanks for the 'welcome'. But I think that Weejun is right about the price. But a nice shirt nonetheless.

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
That is a beautiful shirt. (The wear and tear and price are unfortunate though.)
The collar, check and pocket are outstanding.

Don't worry Soulquentin. Nobody welcomed me onto this sight.
There was a real buzz about this forum too - that this was the place to come to meet real gentlemen.

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
Has anybody tried the modern versions of the Gant Hugger? They're available in the States now I thought?

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
Thanks for the link to my site, soulquentin! It sold on ebay for the same price, but it was a fixed price listing so of course ebay takes a 12% cut of that. It actually sold to the Gant Corporation. I look forward to seeing if they incorporate it into their new vintage-inspired lines. I know it was pricey. I appreciate any feedback. Also if you want to make me any offers, I'll consider them. It's easier to consider offers on my site rather than on ebay since on ebay I have to factor in the fees. Thanks again!

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
I think they said they were going to stamp the old G diamond logo on the pocket.
I'm quite interested to see how they turn out.

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
^would have bought the one on the left IF the price on the local gant store hadn't been ultra ridiculous 279 euros!

Re: Gant 'The Hugger'-Shirt
..saw the only one left in the sale last friday. the sale price was 110 euros.. a bit too much for a sale item don't you think? 
AND the shirt left was too small for me anyway.
