I find this to be incredibly surprising.

Yeah, unfortunately it looks like Context is out of it in both Medium and Large. Can someone comment on sizing for BOO? I've never worn one of their shirts before. I'm about 5"10 and 155lbs, and am a pretty TTS small.

I'll keep checking around.

I'm 5'10" and 165lbs and am a true large in BoO. I would recommend a medium.

You will be medium in BoO shirts. I just got that shirt from Oak New York in medium but it was the last one (1 small left). This seems like a very popular pattern for this season and has already sold out in many retailers. I would check the band of outsiders website for stockist lists and call them for their stock. Good luck.

Yeah, I guess that's the only way to go. Now the question is whether or not it's worth the hours of time it will take to track this thing down.

I promised myself I wouldn't buy another flannel shirt....

I would watch out for this shirt, I bought it in an XL like all my other BoO shirts and it did not fit. For me this shirt ran small. Just a warning, might want to go for L. Also Context lists their model at 6' - 155# and he is wearing a L. Good Luck.

BoO plaids, overdyes and their short sleeved shirts all seem to run about .5" to 1" inch smaller. I've had that issue for the last several years and I have found the only consistent sizing is with their regular oxfords, batiste and twill shirting. I just hope they are doing another black batiste this season because I sold mine last fall and I have regretted it every since!

i have both a plaid boo and the madras pictured both are way bigger than the overdyes. the overdyes have the tightest fit i have about 5 different colored overdyed ones. all in extra small.

Maybe I had bad luck because the one I picked up fit smaller than even my overdyes. I exchanged it for a XXL that I will get tommorow so hopefully it will fit good.

I just bought a Medium Batiste shirt from South Willard... I thought BoO was sizing really small and everything, but finally I have to send back this shirt because it's like 1,2 inches bigger than I thought and I like having my shirt tight.
After that I read that the Batiste shirt is their more "regular" sizing. I've ordered an oxford shirt yesterday, a medium gingham blue/white in size Medium because I also read Oxford shirt were sizing smaller thant Batiste ones. Am I right ?
I'm usually a Small in everything (size 1 in Thom Browne, S to M in APC (M when it comes to "narrow" fitting), 5'11 for 160lbs (or a bit less), did I make the good choice to send back the Batiste one to get a Small and get the Oxford in Medium ?
