These are not exact clones but have a lot of similarities with GIT. They smell nice, but not expensive.
Davidoff Cool Water can be found on the discounter sites very reasonably (under $20 for 4.2 oz size). Look for coupon codes such as 35% off at Fragrance.net.
Aspen can be found for under $10.

They make AS? didn't know that.
I picked up John Player Special deo spray, clone of Cool Water, lasts really long time.
I will go on a hunt for Coty AS

I don't really think that Sharp Dressed Man is a clone as much as a 'take' on GIT. It's not quite as sweet, and there's something about it that I actually enjoy more than GIT.
WSP's Gaelic Tweed and Armaf Tres Nuit are both much closer to my nose. I can't speak to the WSP offerings, but Tres Nuit struggles with longevity.

Splurge on the real deal. As said in prior posts a little goes a long way. One bottle of GIT lasted me more than 5 years of daily work wear.
The other option is to buy a split of GIT. I did this for Aventus, which i use socially and infrequently. Less product and less cash outlay. Find a reputable place that does splits. I have used basenotes in the past.

I know some people are sceptical about "clone" gragrances, but I can highly recommend the version made by Copycat Fragrances here in the UK. I don't have any affiliation, just a satisfied customer (in fact I'm wearing it now)! Good projection, lasts a few hours, and almost indiscernable from the original (at least to my nose 
).

Inspired by Green Irish Tweed
GI, inspired by Creed Green Irish Tweed, is a sophisticated eau de parfum with notes of citrus, peppermint, cedar & sandalwood. Find it at Copycat Fragrances!
Nothing wrong with Davidoff Cool Water. It's a Hall of Fame fragrance and yes, it does smell like GIT. You buy GIT and everyone will think you are wearing Cool Water anyway. 
My wife had gifted me a bottle of Original Creed GIT a few xmas' ago and then later i bought Stirling SDM. I have compared both side by side and even though i really like Stirlings SDM it pales in comparison to GIT. I even had blind tests done where i sprayed each on a test strip and asked my wife to tell me which one was Creed and she got it right each and every time. Same with me.
TLDR: it smells similar but i don't think of it as a clone. It is a fantastic scent however and i have bought the soap, EDT and Splash.

My big question: how does Tres Nuit compare to SDM? My CW is running low and I‘m debating whether to replace with SDM or Armaf.
I think it's closer to Gaelic Tweed. Not too far from Sharp Dressed Man, though. My only issue with Tres Nuit is longevity. It doesn't stick around for very long.

Sharp Dressed Man. I always wanted to be called that. 
Not only are GIT and Cool Water nearly analogues, they were created by the same perfumer. GIT in ‘85 and CW in ‘88. Cool Water has an aquatic vibe with a little mint, but they are very similar. Cool Water is just fine by me, always availabLe and always inexpensive at the rack stores.
Rod over at Stirling makes some wonderful products and some nice clones, but they pale in complexity to established house recipes. They don’t dry down nearly the same and they don’t really last very long.
For $25 I’d rather have 100 mil of Cool Water than 50 mil of Stirling.
But also be sure to get yourself some of that SDM aftershave with menthol and you’ll be all set.
I disagree. Related scents, but I find Sharp Dressed Man and a few of the other dupes to be much closer to GIT than Cool Water.
Okay. You're a sharp dressed man!Sharp Dressed Man. I always wanted to be called that.

Thanks Bill, you say all the right things.Okay. You're a sharp dressed man!
Sharp dressed man? Isn’t that a ZZ Top song? Haven’t tried the Stirling SDM but the Davidoff Cool Water is a good scent
I didn’t mean they were identical, but they are clearly cut from the same cloth.
SDM is a great clone of GIT, but only a clone of the initial blast right out of the jug. I don’t find Stirling’s scents evolving on skin through top, heart and base notes. I’ve found them to smell monochrome, whether sniffing from the bottle top or on skin. They smell terrifi, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t find them to be very complex. Which kinda takes them out of the “clone” category for me.
