Not sure if you have any experience with the extra slim-fit OCBD shirts, but the collars are unlined and a real ***** to iron. They are a far cry from the traditional ODBDs. I've whined to several SAs at my local BB hoping that they pass the feedback up the chain and make a better more expanded product for spring. If they do I'll be replacing my entire shirt wardrobe, as I find the fit better than the MTM shirt I got earlier this year.

I hope you have better luck than I have.

All BB OCBD shirts I have are with unlined collars,why would you want them any other way? You wouldn't want the soft collar OCBDs?

Well I may have misspoken. The only fitted extra slim fit shirts that BB produced this fall are in the style of the OCBD and the tag even says "Original Polo Shirt", but it is not made from the same cloth that the OCBDs are made from. The cloth is thinner, wrinkles more easily, and as I said earlier the collars don't iron very well.

In that case it's not OCBD, probably different cotton but not Oxford Cloth in which case I concur with you. I don't buy non OCBD shirts anyway but from descriptions on the web site it looks like they use the Supima cotton which is the same cotton they use for BBBF OCBDs.

From what I gather, people on the forum seem to really like the BBBF OCBDs (I'll never know since TB seems to think that clothes are only for people under 5'10"). Do people seem to have the same problem with ironing the collars on them that I do with the mainline extra slim fit? Or do the BBBF OCBDs have a lined collar?

BBBFs have unlined collars,i.e. soft collar. I don't have problems with ironing but that's probably because the fabric is thick. I do have some non-OCBD BF button down shirts and don't have a problem with ironing either.

Wasn't last year 40% with 15% kicker?

I had overlooked the sale.. thanks for the heads up. I snagged both the Cordovan Cap Toe and a pair of Penny Loafers. Nice.

Looks like the extra 15% just went live. Picked up a couple extra slim fit shirts.
