Band of Outsiders - Page 6

Damn in between size... always a guessing game. Thanks for the feedback.

I thought it was a universal fact that BoO sizing runs crazy small.

I have three BoO oxfords, two overdyed (which I read somewhere run a bit smaller because of the dying process). All three are L's, and they fit me nicely -- not emo-tight, but fitted. In a wee-man label like Cloak, to give some perspective, I was an S-to-M.

Perhaps it's just last season of BoO that this was the case?

i know this, i was explaining it to someone else. i own at least 10 BoO shirts, most are XL, but i can fit into the occasional L as well...

Apartment No. 9 in Santa Monica/Brentwood has something like 5+ BoO mediums from F/W, as well as a few in other sizes still left. They were at 60% off this weekend, which put the one I bought at around $100.

Anyone have info on the BoO cotton poplin baseball jacket? Looking to purchase one, but unsure when they usually get shipped/become available. Thanks

I'm 6" 185lbs and wear an XL in BoO and it is form fitting but not nearly too tight.

I have one. I'm not sure what info you are looking for. Mine retailed at ~$400. I take an XL in the shirts but went for a large in the jacket. It is unlined and fairly lightweight. SS09 has started shipping so I imagine it will show up soon. Cheers.

anyone know if this seasons batiste overdyes fit as snug as last seasons overdyes?

Can anyone comment on the sizing of their suits and outerwear compared to their shirts? Just in case Gilt has something that requires trigger pulling

If I'm normally a 38, would I be the same in BoO. and jackets?

if I think the J.Crew and Ralph Lauren Slim Fit oxfords aren't slim enough in a small for me (I mean, I manage, and they still look decent, but I could use a slimmer shirt), should I go for a small in Band of Outsiders? Likewise, I'm generally a 36s in suits, but in slim fitting ones, I'm typically a 38s, for example - I own a Hickey suit that's a 38s, and I'm a 38s in Ralph Lauren Black Label. What would I be in Band of Outsiders?

A small in BoO is a 36in chest, a medium being a 38in chest if that helps any

does that directly correspond to the pit to pit measurement? 38in chest = 19 pit to pit?

KA- You're probably about my size either a small or medium depending on how the shirt fits (some slightly different). I have measurements posted in a few threads including the BoO small that i sold a week ago.

If there's anyone who's not planning to throw his hat into the ring tomorrow but who would be interested in "proxying" for me please let me know:

I will be on Gilt promptly at noon ET for the Band of Outsiders sale, but am looking for someone else to help me in case I get shut out. I'll pay a 10% proxy fee to any kind soul willing to do this (and I can Paypal you for any goods you land within 5 minutes of receiving an invoice from you).

Please PM me today (Sunday) or early Monday if interested so I can get my strategy lined up. Thanks!
