Sup bros,

Ok, I've been looking for a nice white oxford since selling my band of outsiders shirt. Is the slim fit really slim and how does it compare to the black fleece version? Would it be worthwhile to do the custom sizing order? Finally, how long are these bitches? I plan to wear untucked sometimes and always casually but worried about fit and length.

Thanks bros.

not sure if you're serious but:
1) fit is not too slim, if you have a big drop / thin waist and tuck you would still get some bunching
2) these "bitches" are long - I can't wear them unticked and I have a long torso

Don't know about custom sizing - even if the fit's better, is it worth the $?

what size are you, and do you mind wrinkle-free garments.

also, consider someone proxying uniqlo oxfords.

nope. they're not that slim and they're waaaaay too long to leave untucked. you could have them tailored shorter though. I like the black fleece oxfords best though and I wouldn't tailor those because of the way they're cut. they're my go to OCBD now regardless.

Listen up, everybody!

Stay away from wrinkle-free shirts. Most are impregnated with formaldehyde which has been linked to cancer. Do your homework on this before you buy these.

You're not going to like the regular BB oxford shirts. Try the Black Fleece ones.

Really? Didn't he sell his BoO because he is too husky for them? Maybe he will like BB mainline.
