Oxford Shirts

[gettoasty]

Yeah thinking about picking one up off gilt to try, sad i hesitated when they had their last sale. was awesome

[computurd]

For short guys like me I recently bought a Zara boys oxford in size 12 which fit great lol. The shoulders couldve been a touch bit wider though

[conqueror]

what's the 'best' oxford for under $120 - or should i just stick with uniqlo?

to be honest, for ~100 i'd just go made to measure (if the option exists where you are)

i don't get how some people still find BB ESF not "fit" enough.

i couldn't even button up a size.S ... need that Medium =\

don't have that option, sadly.

know anywhere that ships internationally?

You can get MTM oxfords from ModernTaillor.com for like $60 shipped.

I have several. Spread collars, club collars, BD's, etc. They're great.

Don't try to measure yourself, get a shirt that already fits and send the garment measurements instead. Much easier to measure a shirt than your own body.

[superBobo]

anyone have measurements for BB slim fits? Like a table of actual measurements for different sizes...

how's the shirt quality, fitting, etc?

i'd like to make a few custom shirts for myself.

[gettoasty]

quality is better supposedly on the non-sale fabrics.

fit is good if you measure your best fitting shirts correctly and make proper adjustments where needed.

there has been stories of holes forming at the elbow (for the fabrics on sale).

overall, a lot of people are satisfied and i am personally in the process of ordering.

Anyone have measurements for a TB1 OCBD? New or one that has not shrank a lot? Measurements for a 15-32.5 ...

Need the chest/waist/and "hip"

Anyone can help me out...

Looking for waist and hip measurements on a TB1 OCBD:

This would be the ideal shirt I would want to use as reference

Right now I am estimating

[the breaks]

measure a shirt you own, dummy

[gettoasty]

haha yeah, i got that too. soliciting some help hoping to get the measurements exact ...

not sure how much to take from the body, i don't want it skin tight.

WHY I SELL TB??

This is partially true. It doesn't matter whether or not the fabric is on sale, as plenty go on sale because the pattern is unpopular.

The trick is to specify "2-ply", and you will get a much more durable product. The blue oxford for the demo shirt is a 2-ply fabric and is excellent, although I wish it was a coarser/heavier oxford.

I like all of mine, and even my very first shirt was perfectly wearable and is still in my rotation. If you measure a shirt rather than your own body, there isn't much trial and error.

Their biggest problem is fabrics only being available for a short period. Buying swatches is useless, because most fabrics disappear forever after a few weeks. You can only ever be guaranteed to get what is on the site at any given time, not what you may have seen weeks/months ago.

[gettoasty]

Just ordered the white for the first-time buyer/trial

[halomunkey]

im broke as fuck, has anybody tried just making a new account and ordering another demo shirt?

This is both a good and a bad thing IMO. I've been looking at tailorstore for a while, and their fabric rotation is too slow IMO.

Thats some serious peasant shit going on here, but I guess you should also have another shipping adress and perhaps even another credit card/paypal account. If you're willing to go this far, it would be the same as being another person ordering.

[the breaks]

just get your mom to order one for you... maybe she'll even pay for it

Why not just order the blue oxford demo? It will give you an idea of how to size the shirt in the future and it's only like $19 for a 2 ply MTM.

[Dead_Wizard]

Well that's neat. Ordered one of those japanese cotton baron wells shirts on 60% discount, they oversold due to sale, and are now sending me an oxford. Eton collar is kind of wonky, but fit pics look decent.

[concealed]

someone who wears 15.5 neck size PLEASE BUY THESE!!!!!!!!!

ModernTailor finally came in:

Xpost from SF - -

Quick post-order comments:

I used a TB1 OCBD measurement and made proper adjustments when ordering. Surprised in a good way at how it came out.

Arm is rather slim (I have been hitting the gym though ) I would adjust the wrist area as it is super puffing out from my POV

Body fits nicely, not sure if I would make any adjustments there. Any smaller and I feel I will be constrained. Again, gym = bigger :embar:

Material on the sample is rather thin, VERY little [or should I say minimal] transparency. I like it and it suits what I was looking for.

Waiting process took awhile, I was anxious but surprised that it arrived this morning.

Overall I will re-order again! Happy that it came out "great" (subjective) first time around and I can actually see myself using this shirt a lot down the road; interviews etc.

Thanks for all the help and especially Steve Smith for giving me the TB1 body measurements at the last minute!! +1

After new belt comes in I will revisit my "Target thread" with proper full suit outfit and go from there.

MC threads and this side of the forum in general has been very helpful. SO thanks to all!! :slayer::slayer:

[willy cheesesteak]

Which collar did you use on that, the medium/small cutaway or the wide spread?

[gettoasty]

Spread collar, larger photos here:

The arm especially below the elbow needs some tweaking. damn my skinny asian forearm/wrist.

Has anyone tried the Reigning Champ oxfords?

Curious about fit & material thickness in particular

[superbeveridge]

my guess is that they would be very similar to the wings and horns oxfords as they are made by the same company. you may be able to find more infor about those online that the reigning champ. my experience with wings and horns is that the construction is nice, materials are on par with other higher end menswear brands, they fit slim through the body. my only issue with this companies brands is the buttons always fall off easily.
