Heres a bit of a silly question I think, Are these two shirts the same? http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=742 http://www.eluxury.com/estore/browse...uestid=3960401 From the pictures one looks very bright and wonderful, while the other looks somewhat dull, anyone know which photograph is closer to the actual colour? Also this will be my first BoO shirt, I normally wear a M, have a 38 chest and stand at 5'10 155-160 pounds, I was thinking about ordering a M in this shirt, should I consider maybe upsizing to a L ?

I'm curious about the sizing question because those are my exact dimensions and I've been wanting a BoO shirt. Those two are obviously the same shirt.

If I am going to get some dry-clean-only chinos tailored, would it be best to have them dry cleaned first, or will one cleaning not shrink them much?

I'm moving into an apartment that I absolutely adore. One problem though is that the closet that will hold my clothes in located in the bathroom. I'm sort of worried that the condensation from showering will make its way through the closet and wreck havoc on my clothes and leather/suede shoes. Will this happen? Should I buy something like this

When you button that 3/4 length coat, which buttons would you button? Or would you leave it open all the time? I have one I just bought with 4 buttons and wasn't sure on the correct way to button it...

Hey, I'm about to start seeing patients at dental school and I was wondering what everyones thought about wearing dress shirts from BoO (i.e. overdyed ocbd in plum, ash gray, ocean blue, forest green, etc) and similar fashion forward designers in a professional environment? I basically want a shirt that I can wear a tie with during school hours with my UVC, then pair up with some jeans for a night out at the bars.

The dental school policy states that we should dress business casual w/ or w/o tie. I tend to notice a lot of Brooks Brother/Ralph Lauren Polo/Express styling on the guys (w/ square toe oxfords ).

Can I pull off just the BoO without looking like a NipTuck doctor? Or should I just be conservative and pick up a couple Brooks Brothers for school...and save the BoO for casual?

There's no way I'd wear BoO on my rotations. While you technically do see fit models wearing BoO shirts tucked into BoO suits, I swear it's because they're completely static and the shirt is probably pinned down. The shirts just aren't made to be tucked in unless you don't mind fixing the hems every couple of minutes.

Couldn't found any other place to ask this, so i guess i will ask here, i just got a new shirt the other day, can you guys critique it?

With that tag sewn on the front like that I think I'd prefer to tuck it in. Sleeves look a little long but no big deal. Shoulders seem to hit right, no pulling of the fabric at the buttons. Not bad.
