Polos -- Proper fit & do they shrink or stretch?
I'm picking up some Mack Weldon vesper polos that I'll launder and dry as in the instructions--I have an apartment so line drying a full basket of laundry is not very convenient :| So for this the challenge is that the large seems good, but will be snug if it shrinks. The XL is a little roomy...- superseiyan

How do Bonobos Dress Shirts run vs Banana Republic?
How do Bonobos dress shirts fit compared to Banana Republic? Banana Republic CAMDEN size mediums are perfect off the rack. Also would be interested in a quality comparison. For BR, the old slim slim was also perfect in medium (yet the tailored slim was comically tight in my size). For Bonobo...- superseiyan

Left Field NYC Clothing Thread
The greasers look attractive for a big thigh/butt athletic body type like me. For those with LFs, I'm wondering: - Given my body type, should one still adhere to the "size down one or two in raw denim" mantra? - Given the normal rise, do they still avoid the "dad" look or "sagging" look...- superseiyan

The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts
Hi! Yes, to me there is no perfect fit off the rack anywhere than the tailored slim BR. Just perfect. Sleeves perfect. Right tightness. Actually wrinkle free. Neck doesn't shrink. Collars not to pointy. Awesome. The only problem is that other than white, the colors and patterns rotate a...- superseiyan

undershirt with slimfit dress shirts?
I too am facing this problem. My sizing is ALL over the place as I'm an athletic running back build. I wear 15.5/M slim dress shirts and don't know whether to go with small or medium. Small would probably be form fitting but I figure it'd be comfortable with the material.....OTOH, medium is...- superseiyan

How are work cardigans supposed to fit? (and other elegant sweaters in general)
Are sizing guidelines for office knitwear the same as for casual? Does it depend on the material? I know work sweaters will tend to be lighter for one thing. I have an H&M cardigan which is a size medium here below, but I'm wondering if to size up to a large. It's interesting, I'm ok wearing...- superseiyan

G-Star sweaters fit check (and trendier/bulkier knitwear in general)
Hoping I can hear experiences with sweaters, and also when you're in between sweater sizes. Do you err higher size or lower size? Does it depend on the material and weight of the garment? For me I'm in in between M and L. I wear 40 suits, and M slim tees, etc. But want to check these two...- superseiyan

The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts
See I'm having a challenge with tailored slim too. Banana Republic is my goto brand because for off the rack, the size-price-quality nexus is the best on the market IMO. There's probably better shirts, there's cheaper shirts, but this is the best combination. I figured out the hack for...- superseiyan

Related to this, for those with an athletic build (think baseball player, or running back) how do you handle your alterations?
