edit: body fit is ok - the chest seems big? i wouldn't spend more at the tailor with this shirt because the shoulders seem big, which you really can't fix, so it's never going to be quite right. sleeves look ok, but it's up to your preference. of course, don't shorten them if you haven't washed it yet.

The shoulders is actually perfect, it only looks off because the waves around the shoulders and the bad picture quaity. It actually sits right on the part where its supposed to sit.

If you think that arms look good though, I think I'm good.

to be honest it looks like you started with a shirt 1 size too big and got the body tapered. the sleeves could definitely be slimmed in proportion to the taper, imo. but i think the chest/shoulders look are big, too.

I have an extra pair of one wash 32x32 I can let go for $80 shipped if anyone interested. Actual waist is ~34". Best denim and wash of all the jeans I own (APC, LVC, Samurai). This pair don't have stitching in the back pockets.

Well at least Farinelli's, Barneys etc carry those... you never see most those accessories outside of RRL stores in the U.S.

True true. For the record, I bought a canvas bifold and a slim belt. The leather looks like it should be nice.

So I tried combing through this entire thread but couldn't find an answer.

Do RRL sweaters/cardigans fit pretty true to size?

I really dig this medium cardigan I saw online, but the sizing posted seems to be much more generous than most mediums (23" pit to pit).

In recent seasons, RRL has been a bit more in check with sizing but a lot of the stuff on ebay comes from older collections where sizing was all over the place and more often than not pretty generous.

How do the RRL flannel shirts compare to their oxfords in terms of fit? Thinking about getting a flannel, they are some of the best I've seen in the stores this season

I just tried on a couple of this season's--the selvage oxford, and the two flannel workshirts. The flannels fit a little roomier than the oxfords, but no so much that I'd size down. I agree, they're really nice looking this fall.

they are a little roomier, but not enough to size down. More of a classic fit.

Love the chambray, a little longer and a bit roomy, but still like it.

how do RRL chinos and cords fit? Are they vanity sized?
