Anyone Familiar with Balenciaga Shirts?

[Roger]

There are some good deals on Balenciaga shirts these days. Can anyone comment on their quality?

Chances are they are the Century 21/Filene's/Loheman's version which are an old licesnse that has yet to expire and is not associated with the same esteem as Balenciaga Paris (by Nicholas Ghesquiere).

Thanks, SoCal; that's helpful. The ones I had seen are all from this seller, who, despite his/her eBay name, is in Germany. So, I don't know whether these are "good" or "not so good" Balenciaga examples.

Had a friend who had one....It was once of his favorite shirts....never wore it myself so really cant call on its quality. He said he liked it cause how it made him feel. Suppose he is talking about the fabric

FAIK, the 'good' Balenciaga shirts do not have the 'BB' logo anywhere on the shirt or tag, though the licensed shirts do.

I bought one on Ebay from Germany. It's slim fitting through the shoulder, arms and chest (15" neck, 18" shoulders, 43.5" chest) and not blousy through the waist, though it could take darts to make it perfect. BB on the label and on the gusset at the side, FWIW, though by the measurements it was not intended for the US market. I got it Best Offer for $100, and I'm happy with it.
