There is a big diff b/w bb1 and bb2 with the latter being about 21" across the chest. Makes no sense but I remember the bb1 being around 19 or so.

I feel like that's quite the jump.

The new garment dyed oxfords would have been nice with all their color selection but that chest logo kills it for me.

Has anyone tried the white garment-dyed oxford? The summer washed cotton oxford in white was kinda transparent.

How do the ESF Sport Shirts (S/M/L/XL sized) fit untucked? I have a ESF Dress Shirt (Neck/Sleeve sized) and it falls perfectly, right at the hip - a great length. Are the sport shirts similar?

Also, how is the sport shirt sizing compared to J Crew shirting or something similar?

ESF sport shirt sizing is definitely slimmer than J.Crew. I wear a small in J.Crew but a small BB ESF is too tight in the shoulders and chest. I'd say the sport short sizing is similar to RL Rugby button-downs.

Is there a BB extra-slim that fits similar to a BoO XS? It seems that BoO XS is one of the few shirts that fits me well...

I doubt it. I wear a Large in BoO, and I'm a 15.5 in extra slim fit. I'm guessing that the 15 would correspond to a boo medium, and 14.5 would correspond to a small, leaving you out of luck. Might be worth trying anyway though, they do fit super slim and are great for the money. They don't really replace BoO though, I find they are too long to be worn untucked.

I have a few of the sports shirts, and they're larger than the 14.5 dress shirts, but not significantly so. They're much slimmer than the equivalent RL custom fit sports shirt

What's the difference between the Polo and the Supima oxford? I'm waiting for the next code so I can get 3 shirts. White... Blue... Pink? Yellow?

BB ESF shirts are great. The quality of Suprima cotton shirts easily blows most mall brands (Club Monaco, J. Crew, BR) out the water.

Unfortunatly, the lower rear is a tiny bit blousey, but I'm probably just going to suck it up cos the rest of the first fits fantastic.

Tried these on today. I couldn't find anything that fit me correctly. IMO, these are made for skinny people as opposed to athletically built. Anything that fit my chest was way too big everywhere else. When trying on the correct neck size (or slightly bigger), I couldn't button the shirt. I must say that I did like the arms. They weren't baggy and the high arm holes were nice.
