I think I'm the only person in my community who wears BOZ. In general, I'm surprised a lot of people don't wear it. Especially considering they do have a bigger range of both men's and women's sizing.

I wear it from time to time. The sizing is a bit of a struggle for me since the releases I like tend to be on the smaller side. They have a lot of beautiful pieces that work well with layering.

I assume it's because it's a more mature look that edges more into Aristo/Madame than Lolita. It's a shame it doesn't get more love.

Boz is a little harder to get as you probably need a shopping service. The shop staff did tell me that they were considering an international shop though at some point.

While I love the look of Boz on photos I usually end up disappointed with the quality in comparison for what I paid for. The cravats look like something from ebay, the blouses/shirts are non-breathing polyesters, the buttons tend to be awful. Often materials look cheap and when it looks decent the materials feel cheap. I used to have a H&M coat with better wool than my 400€ Boz coat. Now I only dare to buy the velvety items online because at least I'll be content with the material. While the cuts of the garments are gorgeous the construction of the jackets are cheap, there's zero stiffness to the lapels, collars and not even the slightest shoulder pads to keep the garment supported and shaped. When I wear (old) MmM I feel regal, when I wear Boz I feel like a knock-off.

Going to dump some from my folders.

My phone camera isn't good enough, I resell things I dislike and brand stores doesn't allow photos anyway. Generally I've been disappointed with all lolita/aristocrat brands after visiting brand stores, but Boz is the worst disappointment since I love the designs. I did not intend to word it like I expected synthetics to breathe, English is not my first language. Though in my experience synthetic georgettes and crepe are breathable in a way due to the weave allowing air to flow through

I had a men’s Roland and my ex who was 6’4 could not wear it- his shoulders were too broad and the sleeves too short. The men’s Roland’s are good for very thin guys up to 6ft, IMO. The chest and shoulders will be the deal breakers.

Their sizes are women’s, womens L, and Men’s size. Once or twice in the past they’ve released a men’s L size. Your best bet is to look at the garment measurements. However, it’s unlikely that at 6’4 a Roland would fit your bf. Even the women’s L size runs very petite.
