So, as someone who has both 34 and 35 shirts, I'd say you're safe on the 34.

If it's too long, you can always move the sleeve button in by 1/2" so it sits right where it's supposed to.


Cool, its good to hear reasons for both side. Thanks guys.

picked up some more crap including denim jacket, Chambray shirts (black and gray), unsually coloured poplins (red chill and walnut tan?) and some sweater from kids sections that will likey have sleeves too short.

They need to just hurry up and release spring items.

Received the XL Marled Blazer and Jersey Blazer. I'd need to be 6'4 and 300 pounds to fit into this ****. Its unbelievable how fucked their sizing is on the high end.

Got my regular LE tailored-fit OCBD yesterday. The chest and the waist were OK, but sleeves were way too baggy. Returned it to Sears for good.
BTW, Rugby by RL OCBDs are a better choice. Slim fit in chest, waist and sleeves.

You know a tailor can fix that all up for you for like $15-20 right?

I got mine yesterday and am quite pleased. Fabric feels nice, even if it is a blend. Weight is substantial, but not too heavy. Fit is nice - although Canvas seems to fit me well in general, so YMMV. For comparison, I had ordered the Gap version of this last year and returned it, as it felt cheap. this one does not.

One odd thing - there is a huge Lands End Canvas tag on the outside of the shirt near the bottom - same place where Thom Browne puts his tags. It is not shown in the pictures on the site. I took it off with a seamripper, but it was sewn on really well, so a little bit of work.

Yes, and I believe LL Bean started it with their "Signature" line. I bought a flannel blazer and matching flannel slacks from them. Not very good but only $300 for the 2 pieces. Both are pretty corny companies, so I give them credit for trying to lure away the J Crew market.

Any updates on the quality of these boots?

I was thinking of getting a pair and having a cobbler put a commando sole on them so I can wear them in the winter for work (casual office environment).
