I wore this BB Slim Fit the other day. The SA took my measurements and said I was a 16.5-34. I saw the pics today and I'm not sure if I should go with Extra Slim Fit. How about the sleeves?

And yes, I'm wearing a Big Pilot.

Is double pleat a no no? I bought these in BB as well. The plain front were too tight. I have big quads.

That's the best I can do right now regarding pics. I'll have to take extra pics this evening if they are not enough.

Regarding the watch, I guess that's one of the things that members here don't care about... watches. IMO, it's the most important part of a man's wardrobe after his shoes.

Thanks for your help!

Reverse pleats are bad. Forward pleats are much better, and BB used to make those about 15 or so years ago until they switched to reverse pleats like so many other brands have done. Reverse pleats look way too baggy.

he means you dont have to be a show-off douche about your watch when asking if your shirt fits. we're supposed to discuss your shirt, not your watch, unless you're really that big of a douche and posted this just to name drop your watch.

Basically I want to know if I should spend $1k in BB Slim Fit shirts or Extra Slim Fit Shirts.

But I guess no advice for the guy with the good watch.

Go MTM instead. BB shirts aren't worth it (unless you must absolutely have non-iron). The problem with BB is that they all have that ugly pocket except for the luxury shirts. And for that price there are many better MTM options.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
