Unfortunately you have no idea that jil sander has never designed her own mens line so you=not tight and need to mind your hoodie business.
I'll try to scan the picture I have from her in a magazine pinning on a male model. Jet do you cut out pictures of me and put your face on it?

All lulz on this page.

Something just feels off, and I want to be able nail this kind of fit before I get into more interesting stuff. FWIW, I just got the shirt, and am interested in what you guys think of the fit. I feel like it's slim, but not too tight. I shouldn't have sized down to an XS, should I have?

Constructive criticism always appreciated.

The shape of the bottom of the shirt bugs me. Above and below that, it looks like it fits well.

I can grow one, but it doesn't look good. Wait. Gosurface has really hairy arms/legs? My arms not that much, but can i start a hairy legs club? WMMK- Skinny jeans aren't always the answer.

I don't, but I am pretty cuddly. Watch out kiddies.

Keep talking out of your gaping cock holster trend hopper.

Hmmm. A BoO medium probably would be too big in the chest/waist, and they don't make tall sizes anymore. Is the BoO shirt even worth keeping? If not, is my best option just to buy casual shirts that are meant to be tucked, and then have them darted and hemmed (but not as short as BoO)?

I know the APC's aren't the greatest for what I'm going for, but I don't really have money for any other pants right now. When I do have more cash on hand, I'll still be at a bit of a loss from something that works with the trad look but also doesn't made me look like a brah. A lot of people associate sperrys/khakis/OCBD fits with frat boys, and that isn't really what I'm going for. I don't know if I have the steeze to rock tweed trousers to high school...

Or is denim ok, as long as it's an NS/501-esque cut?

Don't despair. There are plenty of other slim OTR shirts that are cut longer than BoO. The Shipley & Halmos small I have is as slim (or slimmer) than my small BoO, but longer in the arms and body. There are many other brands that would probably fit you just fine. BoO just doesn't seem to be for you.

If all else fails, you can always go MTM.

WMMK - find a tailor who can make shirts for you; they will probably set you back $90 - $120 a piece, but often times there is a minimum order.

I met with a tailor today who is going to make two shirts for me: one gingham and one candy stripe. I will soon have two shirts that fit me just as good if not better than BoO and the total price is going to about the price of one BoO.

This is just a suggestion, but it would definitely be worth your while to check out some of your local tailors.

Unless I'm missing something the length of the BOO shirt looks fine. As long as your wearing an undershirt I don't see the problem. Also I'm quite sure you won't look like a frat boy.
