Hi, I absolutely love the slim fits of Band of Outsiders and the way Thom Browne shirts look.

Sadly, being a college student (unemployed) and not very well endowed (financially) means I have to custom MTM the look at my reasonably priced tailor.

Any kind souls out there willing to provide the full measurements for the various shirt sizes from BOO or TB? S, M and L would be appreciated because my weight tends to fluctuate highly frequently and i tend to jump from size to size!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm I have no idea why so much hate has been generated on a post started out with optimism and the simple desire to tailor make a shirt and look that I like. Might have came across as trying to steal measurements or secrets from established brands, but I assure you I have no such agenda.

If anyone has any positive feedback or help, please do post!

The people who would help don't know, and the haters gonna hate at every opportunity. EDIT: And this shoulda been in the ask a question thread. Bonus points: Little hatin' going on in that thread.

This is what I assumed, given that you wanted measurements for every size. No one person is going to have measurements for every size of shirt in these brands. My (sneaky) suggestion is this: Look for these shirts in every size on eBay. Message the seller and ask them for every measurement. Include detailed measuring instructions. Act like you are really interested in buying the shirt.

We live in a world that people can knock stuff off with just a few pictures taken at a runway show and this guy needs full measurements? How about a pattern would that help?

OP's got a reasonable request but, yeah his engrish is ******. The barneys site has numbered measurements and doesn't help if you've never owned a BoO shirt

Just called Barneys here's the low down: 0 = Xs 1 = S 2 = M 3 = L 4 = XL 5 = XXL then use the context size measurements and you have your shirt!

Good info Mr Orange.

BTW--I don't think the OP is using Engrish. He's just a little too liberal with adverbs.

BoO button-down shirt (small):

Collar - 15.75"
Shoulder - 17.5"
Chest - 39"
Waist - 35"
Length - 27"
Cuff - 7.5"

(Took these measurements myself so they may not be entirely accurate)

However, please do note that I am extremely particular about the quality of the workmanship, in particular the fit and the stitching. Which tailor in Singapore can offer me services like this with a reasonable or low cost? Thanks!
