Going till June 27. 40% off select shirts if you order 4+. 20% if you order 2-3.

Same deal with pants I believe.

Good deal if you're in need of a few of these things. Just figured I'd pass along

$5 faded glory polos

They're out of Sulfure Heather color, but still a good deal.

They had a nice selections of sports shirts from what I saw, snagged some of those. Some of the particular shirts are out of certain sizes, though.

The semi annual sale is not actually their best sale. You can get their dress shirts for 60/shirt and polos for 40 each later in the year.

Someone enlighten me, because I've only paid that much for a shirt maybe twice in my life, but what's the draw to these? I'm willing to try them, but that's a lot of dough for a shirt. Why is it a value and not a waste?

Also, trying to figure out their fits....what do most of you prefer? Regular, slim or extra slim.....pretty sure that latter is a total no-go for me. My experience with slim fits is they are just too damn restrictive.

Treat yourself to a few "outfits" of nice clothes. Wear them to events where you would normally wear your nice jeans and LSU logo polo.

The fit really depends on your body type

I'm looking at $100 per shirt ($140 regular price).

And if you're talking about polos....hell no. I wouldn't pay $60 for a polo. That's a total joke.

I'd say pretty average to maybe "slimmer". Only place I have any "extra" weight these days is the mid-line. I'm pretty slim otherwise. In a high-normal BMI range.

I'm actually looking for work. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks where it's all business casual, but I get the read that polos are less "favorable". So patterned button-downs are on my radar, but I'm looking for 8-12 shirts. BB doesn't have enough patterns/colors of interest to hit that number, but I could do three or four from them based on what I see.

Dress shirts that you would wear with a suit or at least a tie.

I wear slim but I have a pretty athletic build. Chest 15 inched bigger than waist, abs, etc

I tried extra slim but for it to fit my shoulders the sleeves were 6" too long

Subtle brag...

Seriously, most slim fit shirts will work for me, but I find they are either to tight in the shoulders or shrink up just enough to be annoyingly short and untuck themselves if I am even the least bit active.

Those are nice, but too formal for what I need.

It's really not a bad thing to be known as the "well dressed" guy at the office.

If you got a dress shirt or two from them and didn't change your body type they would last you for years and still be very comfortable. Anyone can make a nice shirt. A nice dress shirt that holds up and stays comfortable is where the extra cash goes.

I recommend a flat collar in white and Oxford blue. You will be set for a decade if you dry clean only.

This guy is balking at the cost of the shirt. He will shite if he finds out he has to pay someone $2 to clean it every week or so.
