Seriously. If it were not the BoO name I dont understand when you would ever wear a bib shirt. Bib shirts are the only shirts I ever see after a sale that are still in stock.

I have a black, one button, peak lapel suit from Costume National that I wore to my wedding. I briefly considered picking that bib shirt off eBay and finding a narrow bowtie to pair with the suit to create a makeshift tuxedo. That was even a stretch. I need to see an example of this bib shirt in action to be convinced that it's not just one of those batty BoO vanity pieces like boat shoe boots.

Thanks for the tip... A quick google search said the womans ran large so I ordered the 9.5, but after seeing that I went ahead and ordered a 10 which I think should fit better. Luckily it was still available. Anyone know if I cancel my order if I get cash back if it hasn't shipped yet?

I had that baseball jacket in my cart as soon as the sale started, but ended up leaving it. Still got an earl gray overdyed oxford... Really need to stop spending money, I'm going to NYC on Wednesday.

Who bought the plum overdyed in XL?

on gilt's FAQ:

"You have the option to modify or cancel your order up to 15 minutes after your order is placed. You can do this once you receive your order confirmation receipt by clicking the Print Receipt option and choosing Modify or Cancel. After 15 minutes, you can no longer modify or cancel your order."

There was a bib shirt from a different company with a bit more of a looser fit and nice texture that i almost bought. I'd wear it wish some baggy with a taper yohji esque trousers either tucked into or slightly cropped with black combat boots. Not a huge fan of the BoO one though

Thanks. I guess I'll just selling the worse fitting pair on B&S. I'm pretty sure I can get rid of them quick.

Bib Band shirts look babyish. It isn't channeling a tuxedo shirt.. it's channeling a messy baby at dinner time.

If you layer over it, most people would probably not notice it as a bib shirt so it would just be a shirt with an interesting detail, like contrast colors.

This is exactly what I thinking of. I hope it works though...
