I'm more or less the same height and weight as you (most days, I weigh about five pounds more), but there is no way I can tuck in my BoO smalls. I must be top tall.

Fit pics. Not really tapered, just higher armholes cut straight down. I sized down to get my proper neck size. Didn't really care for the fabric, which felt cheap and stiff, perhaps because of the "wrinkle free" treatment.

I didn't go through all nine pages, but Naked & Famous is making extremely slim-fit Oxford shirts in the Fall. They're made in Canada, have button-down collars, and are comparable to the Band fit, but straighter cut and almost half the price.

Their founder, Brandon, came by my store on Saturday night and wore one. It's awesome, and is probably just the thing that a lot of you guys are looking for:

He was looking mod as f*** on our scooter.

They're also doing super-slim suit separates in Japanese Gabardine. This guy's putting out great stuff in the next few months.

Oh ****, that really does look great. The one thing I don't like about BoO is the weird hem/general shortness. If the N&F oxfords are longer than BoO in the sleeves but still look "right" untucked (brownie points for doing this without exposing hipbones), they would be pretty much perfect for me.

Will you be carrying them?

Yes, we'll definitely have them in the Fall. I'll holler when they come in.

Brandon's a fairly tall and really skinny guy. He wears a small and had it tucked in without a problem, so I think that's the fit you're looking for. The quality on them is really nice. I feel like they're going to retail around $130 or so.

Amen. It always intrigues me how few designers/CEOs/whatevers actually take part in (read: advantage of) SF. I mean, if I were Mr. N&F, I'd be signed up and sharing information about my product, in a fair and tactful way of course. (e.g. Allen-Edmonds CEO on AAAC) I'm very interested in these shirts, but N&F distribution in Canada seems to be so limited. It seems silly to purchase a Canadian product from a US online retailer.

Wmmk, have you tried Armani Exchange? In XS, their shirts are actually too small/just right (depending on your style) on me, and I'm about your size, just shorter.

I like how the picture got blurrier when you switched from the camera phone to a full body

Shirt looks great, any news of an XS sizing?
