barneys coops carry them.

I really like how they fit and feel but they're definitely pricey for a polo shirt.

I purchased a size 3 (large) and was definitely satisfied with the fit, construction, and hip self-deprecation (tiny 'logo' embossed on the chest). I just sold it in B&S to fund other purchases, realized I am not partial to polos in general. To comment on the fit, I am 6' 185 lbs. and here is the 3:

I also tried on a 2 (medium), it would have been a very slim fit, and with my build not totally flattering IMO. If you want the really slim look BoO advocates in its lookbooks, I'd say go TTS.

Care to elaborate? Saks has them, and right now they're doing F&F, so most of the shirts would be around $100.

I never imagined I would fork over $150 retail for a polo shirt..never imagined that is, until I tried one on. The price is quite steep, but most SFers are conditioned to paying $150+ for a button-up shirt, so why is it so absurd a polo can go for the same?

As opposed to essentially being a cross dresser (as per your pic with long pink hair and heavy makeup in WAYW2A)?

Ha, look at his most recent posts:

"anyone know where i can get some dressy sweatpants? preferably with selvage"

"i only wash my clothes when i get *** on them"

"cher's a baller"

And my personal favorite, especially out of context:

"three inches holy ****"
