I don't trust dress shirts that do not go by neck size.

I have to admit for a mall brand these are the first shirts I have come across that really fit me fitted. I went with the small and I found them to have a high arm hole, slim arm, and I don't end up with a huge balloon of fabric in the back after they are tucked. Also love kop'n them on sale for around $30.

They're not bad. Mine show both the general sizing and the neck size. They fit slim without being too tight, though I wish they tapered a bit more. For the price you could do worse, though to me they tend to look a bit generic.

Regarding neck size, the tag usually says something like M/15-15.5. The M slim fit always fit me well, since I'm a 15/35- not too easy to find.

I'll agree with the generic comment. That poplin fabric is very thin, difficult to iron, and starts to look like crap after jsut a couple of washes. I had a couple of those shirts, which I pretty quickly realized were crap, and sold them on Ebay. That said, the only BR dress shirt I ever wear is Monogram.

i have the black also white from maybe 2-3 years ago but it looks like the same style. i believe at the time they also called it a fitted shirt. its not really fitted at all also every wash the material seem to get worse.

BR fitted and slim fit are different. Slim fit is the slimmest. Classic fit is the baggiest. Fitted is in the middle.

BR tall slim fits actually fit me very well for a casual shirt. but if i have to button the top button for a tie it gets a little snug.

i see thanks for telling me. maybe the fit is good now then but the material is definately the same.

I tried a "slim fit" in S last year, it was terrible, a good 2-3 inches of fabric all the way around.

For me the slim fit, fits well...since its only S/M/L/XL/etc obviously they will fit some people better than others. I def suggest trying it on in store. Like I said for some ppl the tagged sizes wont work. For me, they fit well....but I don't own any and would probably not buy any unless on big discount. Mall brand shirt quality just isn't there for me, but the fit may well work for you.

I agree. Their slim-fit shirts are far from slim-fit.
They fit horribly.

I agree there is still a bit extra fabric, but I found it to be less than JCrew shirts.
