Brooks Brothers Extra Slim Fit Shirts - Page 11

Sorry I should have specified "sport shirts".

Just an update on the fit of these. I went to the Brooks Brothers in Chicago the other day and man....these things are very slim. I don't know if the sales person sized me down too much (I tried on a 15/33), but I consider myself to be a pretty slim guy (5"10 and 150lbs), and these were really tight in the chest and shoulders. I may go back and try a size up, but seriously, these are very, very trim shirts. Surprising for Brooks Bros. For reference, a medium BOO shirt fits me just about perfect.

Same here. I'm 6'4, 185lbs. Just got a couple in the mail (15.5x34) and the shirts are too tight in the chest.

I'm 6'1, 170 and bought the same size, which fit right but a tad snug at the chest. You'll definitely want to go up a size for both neck and sleeve. I'm guessing a 16x35 or 16.5x35 will be better on you.

I find the shoulders are 1/2 inch too wide on these, leading to a ripple near the shoulder blade. band fits me better. you may ultimately reach the same conclusion. EDITED to make sense.

Other than the logo on the sport shirts, and a pocket on the dress shirts is there a difference in apperance in the two? Probably a dumb question but would the dress shirt look alright if worn casually around town? I am only curious because I have a small neck but fairly tall at 6'3. So i would need sleeves longer than what the sport shirt Sz. Medium provides.

I think that the buttondown ones would wear quite well casually, especially the more colorful ones.

This thread is good stuff. Gonna check out the local BB store here in Singapore. Hope they carry the ESFs, else I will have to order online as usual.

Received the white oxfords. Here's a quick fit pic but it is somewhat difficult to capture with the flourescent light. Size 14.5/32 once again, pretty happy with it, not see-through like the other white shirt.

Hey, can you grab the shoulder measurement?

^^^^

Thanks... gotta wonder if the 14.5 would be any different though.

Has anyone who's washed/cleaned these noticed shrinkage across the chest? That's the one area where I don't have any room to spare w/o that "pulling at the buttons" look.

Has anyone had any luck removing the brooks brothers logo from the Oxfords?

Are you so opposed to the pocket that you wouldn't just buy the dress shirt? Or do you already own the sport shirt?
