What are peep's thoughts on these tees?
How do they fit?
Do you own any?
Worth the price?

Best value out there if you're going to pay that much for sweats and tees. I have one t-shirt and I love it, and look forward to buying more. They have some great little details on some of their stuff as well. I have the dizzy tee in Irish Navy. I'm generally a size small, and I take a 3 in all the Fil Melange i've tried on. I'm 5'10" 145 lbs about 38 chest.

I love the tees I have of theirs. Like, love. IMO, they are a little too steep in price for what you get (basics), but luckily I got mine at a heavy discount.

End of the day - amazing stuff, but really pricey.

Just got in the mail from Barney's a Fil Melange style Dizzy T - great T but since it's a Japanese brand I sized up one to a L - a mistake - Here are the measurements before I send it back:


shoulder seam to shoulder seam - 19 inches
sleeve length from outer sleeve - 8.5
pit 2 pit - 22
length - 27

I made the same mistake before I realized Barneys uses their own sizing scheme to match their standard. so, look at the barneys sizing chart, and order according to that.

The shirt was tagged 6. And now they are sold out of what I want. Opening Ceremony has the style - I just hope that they size the same as barneys since I need an M

I think opening ceremony labels them with their actual tagged size. if you call barneys, they might have additional stock at one of the stores. a sales rep can look in there system and get it shipped to you.

I wear a small in American Apparel, Alternative Apparel, etc. A 3 corresponds to a size small for me. A 4 would be a medium, 5 large, 6 X-Large. I think some websites label 3 a X-Small, and a 4 a small. In my opinion 3 is closer to a slim small. I have two shirts, the "brown tee" and the "dizzy tee." Both in a 3. The dizzy tee fits bigger.

A medium is a 4, at most a 5.

I believe that I've read that Fil Melange stuff is inconsistent and varies in size. By this I mean that each t-shirt will be a slight bit different. I'm pretty certain that I read this but am not going to bother looking it up. Ordering it online can be a bit of a gamble without measurements listed.

Hey thanks, I was looking at their site a few hours ago figuring out the sizes on the Dizzy-Tee. And I love the translations. Here it is for the sunny T

Anyone have any experience with their sweatshirts??? I imagine they are ridiculously soft.
