The polo shirts shouldn't be too hard to find. What kind of quality are you looking for? I've heard good things about the Ralph Lauren custom fit line.

As for the sperry boat shoes, I think they tend to run a touch big but it might be that I don't wear socks with them. I am a 10 in Sambas, Red Wings and Allen Edmonds, and I wish my sperry's were a 9.5 or maybe even a 9.

My sperrys are basically true to size for me at least. I'm a 10 in chucks and varvatos, a 10.5 in apc x nike, vans and sperrys.

Weird. I go up half a size on the Sperry's I've tried.

Topsiders fit me pretty much true to size but I wear them without socks. I could probably go up a 1/2 size.

I just got this Fred Perry polo a couple days ago....great fit. Sorry for the bad pic, I'll try and get a better one later. It's easy to spot in this picture though.

I'm trying to get some Sperry Boat Shoes soon but I can't figure out the sizing. I tried on those "bahama" ones at a store today while wearing socks, and the 9.5 were a lil loose, but still comfortable. I want the authentic ones, in brown leather. 9 would fit me well w/o socks?

i went to the fred perry site and saw the bold stripe shirt... http://www.fredperry.com/estore/defa...tore=menshirts i'm looking for things like those

and i'd order them but i don't like ordering from overseas. any ideas on what local (us) brands carry these kinds? re: sperry boat shoes. i'm a sz10 in conversexvarvatos, what size should i get? also, what color? i'm REALLY leaning towards the red...

^^^ Actually, the Fred Perry shirts can be had fairly easily in the US. I'm in Minnesota and I picked it up with the tags still on it from a thrift store. It originally came from a store called Lisa Kline Men (indicated by the tag), which is in Calif. somewhere. Other places that carry them are Ron Herman, Fred Segal....etc. Online retailers like Bluebee also have em. Well, good luck!

Huh, maybe I have a defunct pair? I have no idea, I just put my 10M pair on and they are loose. It causes some rubbing and gave me some blisters for a month or so. They fit perfect with socks though.

I wear 10 or 10.5 in chucks, and 10.5 in vans. and I wear a 11 in sperry originals, I could probably size up to 11.5. They slip ons on the other hand run about the same as chucks.

Hi. If you end up deciding to go with a size 9 I have a NIB pair of Mako 2-eyed Mocs I'd be willing to let go for $50 shipped. Nice looking shoe in a medium brown called "copper". Can post pics later if interested.

FWIW I saw that JCrew is doing a "washed" Sperry in dark brown. Gives a little of a worn in look. They suggest sizing down one full size, which might deserve it's own thread. (Kidding).

They are on sale on westmarine.com right now for 19 dollars. I think they are true to fit although some people like a more snug fit and size down one size.
