Finally wore my first BB XSF (extra slim fit) shirt. Fits great on me but I it has one of my pet peeves of not having buttons on the forearm vent (not sure if that is the right term).

The term is sleeve placket. I agree. It would be nice to have them. BB french cuff shirts do have them.

Just picked these up:

-Medium-Perforated-Captoe/MH00234,default,pd.html

Definitely seems to be C&J constructed, with a 341 written in the lining.

However, I can attest to the fact that it's not the same as a standard 341 in E width that they sell in the UK. It is definitely at least one width thinner (probably the equivalent of a UK D width), and the shape of the BB shoe is much sleeker.

Is this a common thing for white labeled C&Js? I feel like I've heard something similar with C&J-made Ralph Laurens.

Calgary BB downtown has some Peal cordovan boots on for 50% off. Sizes that I saw were 8.5 and 10.5 (might be another size there). Other BB stores across Canada may have the same.
