That's about right with my experience, the S/S (I wear a L in BoO A Body) is noticeably more snug then the L/S. And even in the L/S the overdyed BD's is definitely a bit tighter all around then the regular BD's.

Anyone know what cut the candy stripe shirt is? its got no darts so I'm assuming it's not an A-body. anyways, just received mine from Gilt and pleased w/ the fit...snug but not too snug

 

[Johnathan]

Sounds like f-body. is the collar button-down or point?

 

[dfagdfsh]

are you sure it doesn't have darts

i seriously doubt it's f body

we had the blue/white candy stripe at farinelli's and it was both darted and a body

 

[bsyde82]

point

how many types are there? from what I remember, it's A, B and F right? or is there just two

 

[dfagdfsh]

I don't think they even make B body anymore and I've only seen F at like Blackbird in like 3 shirts

generally the only non f body shirts are a few non button down collar shirts each season that are slimmer than b body

ie: tea stained check double flap pocket shirt from last season

 

[bsyde82]

yup, sure there's no darts

this is the purple one, not the navy one. not sure if that makes a difference. I know blackbird carried the navy candy stripe in both a and f body. never seen the purple one w/ darts

 

[dfagdfsh]

you have a rare bird there.

it's like a unicorn.

treasure it

Take a picture of the back so we can analyze it closer and give you a professional opinion.

Your candy stripe is an F-body

I remember seeing/trying it on at Barney's when I was in Las Vegas. They had it on sale there for $70 and I was close to buying it but F-body is too loose for me

I received my purple candy stripe from Gilt, but with an A-body cut. Box pleat and darts.

I think the BoO size medium was modeled after my body. I cannot believe how flawlessly these shirts are fitting me. I'm glad something finally lived up to the hype.

How do you guys wear your BoO shirts--tucked or untucked? With the funky hemline, they look a little funny untucked, but better, I think, than they do tucked.

 

[ahjota]

This is my observation: They're meant to be untucked. The hem is shaped that way for a reason. A BoO-slim shirt with a normal hem would pull at the sides when you sit down, whether you tuck or not.
