Exactly, I wear an XL in BoO and I have a 41" chest, I'm 6' 187lbs at 11% body fat. I'm far from a big guy and most people actually tell me to gain weight, but I guess in SF world I'm fat too then...Originally Posted by Tooch4321
I thought it was a universal fact that BoO sizing runs crazy small.
I have three BoO oxfords, two overdyed (which I read somewhere run a bit smaller because of the dying process). All three are L's, and they fit me nicely -- not emo-tight, but fitted. In a wee-man label like Cloak, to give some perspective, I was an S-to-M.
Perhaps it's just last season of BoO that this was the case?

i know this, i was explaining it to someone else. i own at least 10 BoO shirts, most are XL, but i can fit into the occasional L as well...

I want to say rarely, unless you come across the odd sale like South Willard had, but if you're lucky some places can get them as low as $120-100. I just bought one of the last few F/W pieces Aparment Number 9 had last weekend for $115. It's just that the actually articles of clothing rarely stay on the shelves long enough to hit super deep discounts...Originally Posted by Tooch4321
Apartment No. 9 in Santa Monica/Brentwood has something like 5+ BoO mediums from F/W, as well as a few in other sizes still left. They were at 60% off this weekend, which put the one I bought at around $100.

Anyone have info on the BoO cotton poplin baseball jacket? Looking to purchase one, but unsure when they usually get shipped/become available. ThanksOriginally Posted by Klemins
I have one. I'm not sure what info you are looking for. Mine retailed at ~$400. I take an XL in the shirts but went for a large in the jacket. It is unlined and fairly lightweight. SS09 has started shipping so I imagine it will show up soon. Cheers.

if I think the J.Crew and Ralph Lauren Slim Fit oxfords aren't slim enough in a small for me (I mean, I manage, and they still look decent, but I could use a slimmer shirt), should I go for a small in Band of Outsiders?
Likewise, I'm generally a 36s in suits, but in slim fitting ones, I'm typically a 38s, for example - I own a Hickey suit that's a 38s, and I'm a 38s in Ralph Lauren Black Label.
What would I be in Band of Outsiders?

KA- You're probably about my size either a small or medium depending on how the shirt fits (some slightly different). I have measurements posted in a few threads including the BoO small that i sold a week ago.

If there's anyone who's not planning to throw his hat into the ring tomorrow but who would be interested in "proxying" for me please let me know:
I will be on Gilt promptly at noon ET for the Band of Outsiders sale, but am looking for someone else to help me in case I get shut out. I'll pay a 10% proxy fee to any kind soul willing to do this (and I can Paypal you for any goods you land within 5 minutes of receiving an invoice from you).
Please PM me today (Sunday) or early Monday if interested so I can get my strategy lined up. Thanks!
