It never would have occurred to me that the shirts listed may be old enough that they size differently than those currently for sale. Thanks for the tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516851 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:34:33 +0000 Vicki 516851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more thing, Rae, is that I have both tailored and fitted ones, so there is a difference in each of them, as Angie says.</p> <p>ETA: I wanted to include the link for you,</p> <p><a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAction=Load&#038;Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=302&#038;section_size=&#038;section_color=&#038;sortby=newArrivals" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....ewArrivals</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516815 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:20:01 +0000 MNsara 516815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, rae - about the era of the Ebay shirts! Unless you asked the sellers to give you any missing measurement - like sleeve length, etc.</p> <p>Sometimes I think Ebay items might even have been tailored/altered and there's no mention of it (or a reseller wouldn't necessarily know). But a disappointing surprise for a buyer who thought they knew the garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516807 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:13:17 +0000 Angie 516807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a zero in the Tailored fit and it's still roomy on me - albeit the length, sleeve length and shoulder width are perfect. But I actually don't mind this fit at all because it achieves a more relaxed vibe when I scrunch the sleeves and pop the collar. It's still fitted - just not tailored - which is kind of hilarious given the name of the style :). I wear these in white all the time and have 3. They are my "t-shirts".</p> <p>I don't expect anything to fit me like my *perfectly tailored* Anne Fontaine shirts. So my expectations are managed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516803 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:07:44 +0000 rae 516803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refugee, good to know that their sizing chart is accurate! I wonder if they have changed fits over time... who knows how old the ones on Ebay are - what was considered their "fitted" style ten years ago may be completely different now (would explain why some 2s have a 37 inch chest). </p> <p>I think maybe I'll have to wait awhile to get a new shirt, so that I can pick out the right thing in-store, like many have suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516751 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:17:15 +0000 Refugee 516751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a BB tailored fit shirt that I love. As I do not have a BB store anywhere near me, I purchased mine online. I selected my size based on my measurements, as I usually do when I purchase something online for the first time. Sometimes this is accurate and sometimes it is not. With BB it was absolutely accurate and my shirt fits perfectly. I would suggest taking a look at the sizing chart at the BB website and base your size selection on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516714 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:19:39 +0000 nancylee 516714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, can you go to an actual BB store and try some on before you buy them on Ebay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516692 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:41:51 +0000 Janet 516692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. I have the fitted shirt in black and white, and the size 6 fits me perfectly, and that seems to be my usual size in tops lately (I'm a 32DDD). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516609 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 05:59:35 +0000 lpr200 516609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sized up in the tailored fit, but I'm busty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516585 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:52:37 +0000 Vicki 516585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I wear a 2P in the BB non-iron shirts I really love them, but did spend some time in the SCP store trying on a 2P, 2, 4, &amp; 4P just to be sure. The arms were long on some or just wide in the waist. I wanted a very slim and fitted look. The 2P was my size, but it took work. I'm a 32D. When you pull the trigger, you will love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516582 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:45:25 +0000 nancylee 516582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I have two BB button shirts and they are my normal size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516580 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:36:16 +0000 Parsley 516580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only owned one BB shirt, but I had to size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brooks-brothers-tailored-shirt-sizing#post-516570 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:23:48 +0000 rae 516570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry if this is already out there somewhere, but I couldn't find it... I see that some of you have said to size up in the tailored vs. the fitted BB shirts, but what about compared to your regular size? </p> <p>I've been Ebay stalking these for a loooong time and have asked a few sellers for measurements, and they say the fitted 2 has a 37(!) inch bust? That seems huge to me, like I would want to get a 0 in the slimmer, tailored fit. BUT, their size chart says a 2 should fit a 33-inch chest - and I know I'm larger than Taylor, who mentioned in an old thread that she has a 0. </p> <p>Any insights? I have yet to pull the trigger on anything because the measurements sound so weird. </p>
