Been seeing a lot more BOO gear at Barneys. This season has some really cool stuff....the usual slim shirts and ties of course. Among the new shirts, they have a 50s style shirt-jac in red gingham that gives me a stiffy, but the $275 pricetag makes me go limp. At some point I think I owned about 20 vintage ones that I never paid more than $30 for, but BOO's version is very authentic and well cut
Their suits are pretty awesome. It's nearly the same cut as Thom Browne (or for that matter my own Thick as Thieves) and wearing a jacket felt just like one of my own. High armholes, really close fitted body, short jacket length. The sleeves are basted with the buttons in a bag so you can have functional cuffs put in on your own. Mostly 2 button styles, I think there was a 3 button too. Full canvassed and made by Martin Greenfield. The price isn't cheap, $1675 (not sure if it was for just the jacket or for a suit, probably just the jacket) Their suit sleeves are REALLY slim. I've never seen a jacket sleeve this skinny, I think it measured about 4" across at the opening. I fit into it, but if you have any muscle bulk, there's no way you're getting into one of these jackets.
Some cool sweaters too....nothing mindblowing but simple and nice. Made of cashmere and the pricetag reflects it.
Their line is expanding and the results look great.
