How do dries shirts run? I'm hoping for something that measure 20-21 across, can size 50 give me that?

That's pretty much right, my dries are 50 and rafs are 50-52.

Dries has different cuts when you buy at the showroom, some are slim which I like better.

I have size 48 dries in the normal cut that is bigger than size 50 in the slim. Best for me would probably be size 48 in the slim, but I havent seen that one around.

Ok thanks guys this **** was helpful. Was looking around for info and found past measurement for what I presume was older dries shirts on ebay. Then when I was comparing them to the fitted shirt pic on SW the chest looked a good bit slimmer compared to the shoulders. So cuts must vary on regular and older seasons, vs. more recent fitted.
I may look into picking up the dries if my APC fit is too narrow in the shoulders compared to the chest.

I was doing a final sweep at the Barney's at Beverly Hills and shopped next to JASON BATEMAN! He was looking through the Prada section. He is pretty tall! Sorry, I'm only geeking out because Arrested Development is one of the best shows ever.

Anyway, anybody know if the Barney's in SF is worth going to? Thinking of heading up to the city this NYE...

I got a Dries 50 navy slim fit at barney's, same price as south willard. fit is great. has a box pleat & 2 darts... so similar to BoO, but looks cleaner. slightly roomier & longer than a BoO Large.
