Hey all, I know I put this in another thread, but I just want to get a quick consensus before I buy. What are the general opinions on this Helmut Lang black polo at Overstock.com for $30? http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin....=191764 Also, what is the overall quality/fit of HL? Normally I take a Medium in shirts, I am 6' 160lbs, 36" chest, 31" waist. This looks fairly slim-fitting which I want. Anyone ever buy from overstock.com before? Thanks a lot. Eric

It's a very nice looking shirt. I would buy one if they had anything in large/xl. I would get it if I were you, but extra small might be way too tight.

Thanks, I didn't realize it was only available in XS until after I posted. They had some Mediums left in other colors. So, is the sizing similar to other designers?

Unfortunately I can't help you out because I don't own any Helmut Lang apparel.  My pathetic photojournalist budget severely limits the expensive clothes I can buy.  Check with the other guys who know more, but I think Lang stuff is pretty slim-fitting from what I have heard.  There is a Helmut Lang post currently getting a lot of responses that you might want to take a look at.
