Has anyone else noticed that there is a newer line of Theory dress shirts? When I was at the Bloomingdales sale today, they had an entire line of Theory shirts that were priced at $125 and appeared to be more formal, compared to their standard $225 shirt that is more trendy.

Does anyone have experience with these newer Theory shirts? How is the fit on them (I would try it on, but they are the ones that are folded / pinned, etc. in store)? What is the quality like?

their alright. still overpriced and slightly worse in quality then their other stuff. fits about the same i think. i think theory realized that half its stuff is on permasale at 50% retail anyways, so it made a shirt that was retailed at that price that didnt go on sale. however, apparently they missed the fact that most people only buy their stuff when its like 30% retail. dont get me wrong, i actually own a lot of theory, but the new shirts are super plain (black or white) and not really a better deal. if you want a black or white shirt, you can easily get a 250 dollar theory one for the same price.
