Getsmart, isn't it more like Japanese sizing where this would be:

0=34-36
1=36-38
2=38-40
etc

Well depends of the cut but sweaters are like that, no?

Fuuma, I'm not sure a size 40 could fit into a Thom Browne size 2 shirt (I guess if his stomach has a big drop from chest he could), tho you're right in the general sense

Yeah well I guess I was thinking more of his sweaters where a size 1 would be slightly relaxed on me.....

Conclusion: Try a size 4, it might fit you.

Thom Browne **** Sizing:

Choose the same size shirt as your little brother. In the case of no little brother, choose the size shirt you wore when you were nine. Voila.

yea we all know TB is everyone's favorite whipping boy, but if you have a slim build his shirts fit phenomenally well. Have you ever tried one on? I'm assuming not....I like how guys who have nothing relevant to say about a given topic throw in posts like ^^^^. What point were you trying to make?

It's a f**king joke. Laughter, or at least a chuckle, is the point. Come on. Get smart.

And no, I pay half of what one might pay for a TB shirt to have one made specifically for my exact measurements. I can guarantee that this fits me better than any designer shirt ever could.

I see where you're coming from. I should have put a smiley with my first post. Sorry for the thread derailment!

TB does makes stuff in a size 5. Last time I was at Bergdorf Goodman they had a bunch TB shirts in size 5 on clearance for like $160.

And you really have to try it all on to see about fit. And it is more like the japanese sizing, but with huge emphasis on the "slim" aspect.
