Urgent inquiry, I wear size 15.5 Dress shirts at Polo Ralph Lauren, should I wear the same size (neck size) from BB or should it be different ?

If you don't know your own neck size, you haven't even seriously started to look into fit. Do your own homework first, then ask for help.


This.

"Brooks Brothers sizing compared to other brands" doesn't matter.

OP, compare their sizing to YOU. This starts with knowing the measurements of a properly-fitting shirt. Note "properly fitting shirt", not your measurements. You can then use comparative measurements to buy on ebay.

So you mean having a 15.5 neck measurement at PRL doesn't necessarily mean I would have the same neck measurement at BB ?

Maybe. If you have a 15.5 neck with PRL that means that you have a 15.5 neck with Gant. And that means that you wear a Medium in a Club Monaco. If you wear a Medium Club Monaco then that means that there is about a 75% chance that you wear a 15.5 BB.

I think that's a very good answer. Perks of living over seas, cornered to order online and take this kind of risks. Thanks anyways.
