I wish the farinellis buy had more color. Also, they're nice shirts. I don't know where i'd be without the white one i have. If anyone wants the size small blue holiday collection one from a year ago, i think i'm gonna sell it as it's a bit too snug.

If someone sees the plum or ocean blue in medium (or small. i forget how the overdyes run. i'll ask sabrosa i guess) for a good price lemme know.

for me I usually buy an XL in anything, but I can wear a L in the heavy overdye oxfords and be ok, even length wise. for the baristas/the non oxfords I HAVE to do an XL, with the exception being the non button down collar 2 pocket shirts, which a L works

Both the regular cloth and overdyed oxfords seem to fit me very similarly, at least to the same degree where I wear a small in both fabrics. Maybe the oxfords seem slightly smaller because of the heavier fabric? I didn't break out a measuring tape, but I laid both on top of each other and they appeared to be the same size.

The only BoO shirt I've tried on that required sizing up to a medium was the white pique with black buttons from a little while back. That shirt was noticeably tighter in the chest and cuffs and seemed to be a bit shorter as well.

no way a band of outsiders shirt is too long unless you oversized yours. i'm wearing extra small and i'm pretty sure people sometimes assume i'm wearing my little brothers shirt thats how slim fitting it is.

i also noticed a lot of band of outsiders went on sale recently mostly at sw you could have had a overdye for $59.50 instead of $230. although i've paid retail for a few already almost a year ago.

The overdye oxfords shirts, I find, fit the same as the regular oxford shirts. The holiday overdye shirts though fit slimmer than the regular overdye oxford shirts, at least the ones from Fall 08.

There's some variation... I have the black and plum overdyes and the plum is much slimmer.

These shirts are early arrivals I have about 10 more colors coming.

Emily didn't take the pics so they werent done really well. The Goats sister isn't a great photographer and I am NOT a great model.


Look her eis the deal with these shirts ... If you liek them and it's you buy them if you don't understand them dont havte on them . it's that simple.


I am offering the style forum discount so take advantage of a good thing.
best,
mauro

Hey Al you skinny whore, I normally fit a medium in BoO but in the plum overdye oxford I had to go up to a large, and it still fits mighty slim. I was told it's because the dyeing process uses very hot water that shrinks the fabric more than normal.

Haha, I was going to PM you saying you're welcome to try it on sometime, but yeah, this will work too.
