Are the "luxury" BB shirts any slimmer fitting?

Brooks Brothers online has 3 for around $130 when all is said and done. I was wondering if these fit like regular BB shirts.

Unless they are from their slim fit line, I would bet they are tent-like. I still cant figure out why anyone would want to wear shirts that are that big. I guess to each his own.

Yes, they are about 2 and 1/2 inches slimmer than the regular BB shirts. I believe the difference between the regular fit and slim fit is about 5 inches.

I recently bought a number of the luxury line shirts and they are excellent - especially at $130 for 3. The fabric is great - construction looks very good. Buttons are still plastic but a little thicker than normal BB shirts.
