-yeah stance is awkward, partly due to my timer and also because I was trying to stand in a way that would show give a good idea how the shirt fit as a whole
-the shirt has been sitting in my bag all day so the shirt is all wrinkled and creased (especially the collar)
-also i'm wearing shorts, you can't really tell from the way I took the pic


maybe it's just the pic/wrinkles, but it looks like you have a bit of a gut and some you look like you have some manboobs going on. it's really tight through the waist, hugging your hips. compare it to netsua's fit and it's a world of difference.

haha, yeah I don't have manboobs/gut... its just the wrinkles/lines from folding, combined with me being bloated with beer... next time I'll take a fit pic before the beer.

Also not sure why it looks like its hugging my waist, does not do that in real life, could've been the shorts I had on when I threw the shirt on for a fit pic or my awkward as **** stance...actually, as you can kinda see in netsua's pic the shirts flare out a slight bit at the hem.

Just trying to get an understanding from those who already own the shirt, but if I am in between a BoO L/XL should I order the L or XL in Crate? I would think the XL since it seems as though the Crate shirt is cut shorter.

I just picked a Large in the purple gingham from Penelope's this morning. The fit is spot on--similar to how I would imagine BoO fits, although I've never actually tried a band shirt. That said, the neck measurement is a little big and the collar itself is sort of bigger than I'd like. Also, the shirt came with some very cheap see-through plastic buttons. I'll definitely be replacing those once I can find some I like better. All in all, great shirt for the price (I paid $78 plus tax).

I picked up the red gingham from Four Horsemen today. fit is really slim but from what I've heard, they won't shrink at all since they're washed heavily. will post up a pic later tonight.
