    Brooks Brother Sports Shirt Sizes

    By chance I also just measured my new BB sport shirts today. Medium Slim Fit (short sleeve): neck 15.5, p2p 22.5, half waist 21-21.5 Medium Extra Slim Fit: neck 15.5, p2p 21.5, half waist 20.0, sleeve 34. I'm 6'1.5", 185 lbs and the Med Slim Fits are roomy on me. I don't know your height or...

    Need advice on where to find a suit for SUPER skinny guy

    For your budget, if you make sure you measure very accurately, exactly following the guidelines, I'd say Indochino could work out well for you.

    Brooks Brothers online order, shirts: $94 + s/h, fees: $61 = fail

    So here's an update: Wow, very impressed with BB customer service! I had let them politely know what happened and asked if they offer USPS shipping. They told me that they use FedEx exclusively, but since it was my first time ordering from them and they wanted my experience to be positive, they...

    Brooks Brothers online order, shirts: $94 + s/h, fees: $61 = fail

     Just click on the 'sale" tab on the homepage. I chose some sport shirts.

    Brooks Brothers online order, shirts: $94 + s/h, fees: $61 = fail

     It was shipped FedEx Express Air from BB paid $21 The paperwork indicates something like 20% import duty on the shirts, then 12% tax on the shirt value + duty combined, then $10 FedEx "ROD fee", then 12% tax on that ROD fee. Total over $40. $61 on top of the shirt cost :-( Ridonculous I say!

    Brooks Brothers online order, shirts: $94 + s/h, fees: $61 = fail

    So I thought I'd try some shirts from Brooks Brothers for the first time. Went to their website and picked out three shirts that were on sale. Subtotal for 3 shirts about $94. Add $11 for shipping + $10 extra to Canada, still not bad $21 for Fed Ex to Canada. Total $115. Package arrives a few...

    Indochino suits?

     Looks like way more than 0.5" too big in the shoulders. I really think you measured your shoulders in the wrong place..

    Indochino suits?

    holmes - -as for the low back wrinkling, I think it's due to the waist being pinched too tight in relation to someone having some glutes. I had a similar issue on my first IC suit. Solved it perfectly on my second one.. - jacket length is short and you can see it looks better in your...

    Indochino suits?

    vulcan - Shoulders def too big. What's your height and what are the shoulder measurements you've given IC? The jacket looks ok other than that. After three remakes how did you still end up with those way too big shoulders? Pants look too wide in the thighs and maybe hips. durban - Waist is...

    Indochino suit just arrived - Thoughts?

    It looks mostly fine, but yeah the shoulder measurement needs to be reduced maybe 0.5" then the padding will probably look fine. What does it look like from the back?

    Indochino suits?

     Why not detail this particular ordering episode?

    Indochino suits?

    The suit looks better overall in those pics. I would only add 1/2 inch to pant length as others have mentioned. I think the sleeve length is actually spot on. You just need proper shirt sleeve lengths. If you feel you must then add 1/4 inch at most to jacket sleeve. How tight do you want the...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

     Man you only have to read my post a couple pages ago http://www.styleforum.net/forum/thread/21066/good-tailor-in-vancouver/300#post_4054635 in summary Tai Pan Tailor is horrible.

    How does this grey suit brown shoe combo look?

    I'm thinking of some AE shoes but rather than the Strands either the 5th ave or Park ave. Between the 5th ave and park ave is one anymore suitable for different situations than the other? Or just preference for the slightly different details? Would the burnished brown go well with both a brown...

    Indochino suits?

    First off, never button the bottom button. I would say your shirt sleeves are way too long not just a bit. The jacket sleeve might be about right, or perhaps just 1/4 inch too short. They should come to (or part way overtop) your wrist bone (the bumpy bone before the fold of your wrist)...

    Indochino suits?

    I've got one of the old $150 dollar value groupons that I might sell. Its good till August 18th and I keep waiting to see something I like and an improvement in quality control but I'm not sure thats going to happen. If someone wanted it for $75 that would make up my mind for me pretty easily...

    Indochino suits?

    Here's the "Spring Awakening" shirt I just received. After getting a couple remakes on the previous shirt order I had done (the first ones fit "perfect" (for a very euro slim-fit look, they made them properly) but were too slimfit/tight for my taste so I tweaked measurements to get them just...

    Indochino suits?

    I'm interested in the Ultimate Grey Suit, but I'm not sure about the fabric. On the product page for the suit it says 'lightweight wool blend'. However, if you look at the Tailor's Kit (swatch book) section of the website and choose a swatch from the Ultimate Grey Suit it shows "100% Wool...

    Indochino suits?

    If anyone is interested, I still have a $150 Groupon for Indochino, which I'm willing to part with for $75. Send me a PM if you're interested. Don't try to profit off a stinkin' Groupon from fellow SF members! Those things only cost $50 to buy!! If you can't use it, simply sell it for the $50...

    Indochino suits?

    Today's Groupon piqued my interest enough for me find StyleForum (while searching for IndoChino reviews), join, read a lot of this thread, and now post. As my husband has recently expressed interest in having some custom shirts made, I thought this might be an inexpensive way to try out the MTM...
