Polo Rugby vs. J. Crew

[mr.loverman]

So I am a young guy recently out of college and I can't afford high-fashion designer labels. I have about a 43" chest, 32" waist, 5'8.5". I wear a lot of j crew, which is decent quality although I can't stand their button downs. I was thinking polo rugby stuff might fit me alright. Can anyone comment on the fit of rugby stuff? I am looking for a few ocbds and maybe a linen shirt. IMO a lot of their simple stuff looks pretty good.

I'm a big fan of rugby. Half their **** is unwearable b/c of the logos and weird designs but the other half is pretty good quality/value and much slimmer than Jcrew. Without actually taking measurements, a M button down shirt for Rugby probably has an inch or two at most more in the chest compared to a S Jcrew shirt, more waist suppression, and shorter sleeves compared ot the same size jcrew.

I have 3 of their OCBDs (only experience with them) and they are the best I've had for the price ($45 a pop). Fits like what BoO looks like on other people. Slimfitting. Better than J Crew garbage I've tried.

i have one blue small oxford from them. really nice soft fabric. Wish they sold an XS, because the small is a bit big on me.

Good sweaters/cardigans, nice shirts, wack fitting outerwear, meh pants, cool accessories, good discounts.

Another jcrew thread!!!

Why do people think their lives are so important to give out their measurements and ask people if the **** will fit. Why don't people just try the crap on and be a man and quit askin people on the net

some people aren't near stores that sell this stuff. for example, there's not a single ralph lauren store in my state.

i was up in sacramento last weekend with some friends and i found a jcrew store, but like all stores in the world, they didn't stock XS, so i couldn't try anything on.

even if you can find a store doesn't mean you'll be able to try things on in your size.
