I'm in the same boat with that binder man. I haven't been able to find anything besides LilDoberman's review on it anywhere. It only came out about a month ago though, so you'll probably either have to give it a try and hope for the best, or wait until more guys get a chance to try it. I do remember hearing someone say that they have a decent return policy though, so if you get it and don't like it, you can send it back for another one, but you pay shipping I think. If you want, shoot them an email with your height/weight and chest size/measurements, and ask them what binder they think would work best for you. I was between the 2nd gen jersey mesh and the wide coverage, so I emailed them and they were very helpful on picking one and sizing.

i just ordered it yesterday but i chose the slower shipping option, so it will be at least a week till it gets here. once i receive it though i can compare it to a bunch of other love boat binders for you because i've basically tried half the binders they have by now.

Here's my quick $.02 after wearing it two days.  It's not nearly as well made as some of their other binders.  I popped a thread in it already and the hook part of the velcro is bigger than the loop so it's getting pilly already.  It's also a bit short.  I wouldn't recommend for anyone taller than 5"5 who's bigger than a D or for anyone over 5'8 or so regardless.  I'm going to measure mine later for another thread and will post.

That said, it's comfortable, more wide coverage than any of my others from them (don't have the official wide coverage though) and get's me pretty darn flat, considering I'm a 34DD.   It's pretty much a slightly stretchy short 997 with velcro.  I don't have a tritop, but probably about the same.  The outer material is very underworksish and the inner is mesh which feels nice.  For average height, smaller-average chested guys who don't want to spend a fortune, you'll probably absolutely love this binder.  I'll take pictures this weekend.

My measurements are 34 under, 39 around and a L is almost too big.  I'm going to add a little more velcro to it.

Hope that helps :)

Well crap. Now I don't know which size to get. My measurements are 33 under and about 36-37 around. Do you think a large would fit me too? My chest is a smallish B.

I'm not sure Konnor, I'd probably lean towards a medium if you want to be really flat.

Maybe this will help:
Shoulder to bottom seam 14
Neckline to bottom: 9.3
armpit to bottom: 6.2
Circumferance smallest: 32 and largest: 35.  Those are unstretched.  The largest it stretches to is about 38. 
I'm 5'4, 140 lbs, 34DD and I'm going to put an extra inch or two of velcro on it to make it snugger.

Hmm well I outweigh you by about 20 lbs, so a large would probably fit me okay. I'll probably bite the bullet and buy one as soon as I get the cash.

just posted a short review on the 2nd gen jersey mesh, then realized i posted it in the wrong thread, so here goes:

Quotethe 2nd generation jersey mesh just arrived. the binding power is nice, comparable to the esha extra strength or the tri top i think. this binder feels sturdier than love boats pricier binders, but the material is still comfy- there's mesh on the inside and the outside feels like very sturdy cotton and the binding panel is in between these two layers (you can kinda see it through the mesh). it's cut high enough in the front not to show cleavage and looks a lot like a regular tank top. it seems like a good deal for the price, only downside is that the bottom seam digged in a bit when i first tried it on, now that i angled the velcro it's fine though. and the shoulder straps are wider apart than on some of their other binders i suppose, but that's actually more of a pro for me, giving it a more tank-top like appearance. i wear a size small in all their other binders and i have to say this one is a bit tighter, maybe an inch.
can't tell how durable it is yet, obviously.

I just got my 2nd Gen jersey Mesh yesterday.  My first binder.

I was so surprised by the comfort.  I expected some ridiculously uncomfortable thing that would squish and dig and irritate, and it did not of those things (except the squish, but after the first few minutes, it didn't feel so funny anymore!)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to flatten me quite as much as I'd hoped.  I'm 34 under, 39 over and a C cup.  Got a Large.

I'm most concerned that it flattens one breast (the one on the velcro side) way better than the one on the other side.  The left is almost passable while the right is CLEARLY A SQUISHED BREAST. UGH.

I'm considering modifying it to put a velcro tab on the other side too. 

Don't get me wrong, this is way better than anything else I've tried to bind.  This is a dream.  But maybe I just can't get flat out of this chest?

I'm hoping mine will come in the next few days. I'm pretty anxious! That sucks about the lopsided binding Fuji. Especially since my right breast is bigger than my left.  :( Now I'm bummed. I will update you guys when mine comes. If you end up modifying yours Fuji, let us know if it helps! Congrats on your first binder!

Don't be bummed yet, Konnor!  I outweigh you by twenty pounds, and I have a few more inches to suppress.  I bet it'll look perfect on you.  My right is slightly bigger too, so there is that.  Hope it turns out to be great for you!
