I just bought one from thenextdoor. It is a great fall/winter layering piece that you can wear a button-down shirt or lightweight sweater underneath.
The only problem I have is that it fits bigger than the shirts. I wear medium (2) in BoO shirts, so I purchased a size 2 in the shirt-jacket. It fits little bigger than I would like so my size 2 may be up for sale soon.
Oh. I found one at Opening Ceremony on 50% off, but in small. I usually wear xs, so this jacket will not fit me.

Does anyone have experience with the camel hair baseball jacket from this season? It looks nice and I'm curious about the sizing (whether it fits like the shirts or more TTS - I'm a medium in shirts) and what people's thoughts overall are of it.
I'm referring to this one: http://www.endclothing.com/band-of-outsiders-camelhair-baseball-jacket.html


I'm guessing you are probably a 1(small) in this, because I have experienced their harringtons and baseball jackets tend to fit 1 size large. (I have a harrington from last F/W in a 1, while I wear a 2 in all their shirts & cardigans). However, your best bet is to email End. End also has some seriously confusing sizing - they are saying a 2 is a small, while a 2 is definitely a medium, and a 3 is a large in Band.

However, I have noticed everything seems to be a bit slimmer this season, so you could be a 2, which is medium (small according to End).

Thanks for the input. Yeah End sizing is confusing which wasn't helping me. OC has the same model wearing the same size in shirts as the jacket which lead me to believe I should size the same, but had heard jackets tend to fit larger than shirts or basically more true to size. Wish I was able to try on in person, would be so helpful :plain:

Measure a different jacket that fits you well, find measurements for this one, compare.

Which harrington do you have? The leather one?
Thanks

There's some nice BoO been appearing up on Yoox recently. I copped this, not sure how usable a white corduroy tux will be but it looks amazing:



Anyone know what year/season/where made?

Anyone know what a band of outsiders "pince" shirt is? I've seen this word describing their oxfords a couple of times. Is it just a style name?

Can someone comment on this year's sizing? Want to buy size 1 shirt at tresbienshop, but not sure if I may need size 0. I wear XS in APC Shirts, S in brands that fit slim.

Is anyone looking to sell any blazers in a size 3? Would be even more interested if you had matching pants.
