      Sounds like he might be trying to squeeze into a L based off your fit. (Un)fortunately in my own case the 24" sleeves on the S killed it. The M is too big in the torso.

        I would not go for a tight fit in these. That's also the reason why I sold my L. In my case it was a trade off between the perfect chest measurement (in my case 44")  in the L, but then the shoulders were snug and the sleeves on the short side. XL is a tad too wide in the body, but the rest is spot on. Plus you can layer and enjoy a pretty warm and thick shirt with enough room to breathe and move. So, I would not advice to size down.

          ^  Agreed.  I initially went for my regular size (size small) in these and had to size up to an M because it was too constricting.  Chest on an M has a little extra room but not so much that it bothers me.  Other measurements on the M work great for me.

            There are very few shirts I would consider buying in a western cut, this is one of them. I'm leery because I find with westerns, the way they are made, the shirt tends to pinch in around the shoulder and chest, thus leaving the shirt to sort of stick out from the body in the front around the waist area rather than drape down nicely and straight like a workshirt.

              I have not worn one in anger, so I can't comment I am afraid.  I typically just wear samples of shirts I want to check out evo on.  I very rarely take a production shirt and wear it. For the photo's an L appeared to be fine, but you can see it pull a little on the top snap…...

                Tres, the 62 would probably suit you well

                      This has been my go to lounge shirt. I love it and I want some pajama pants made out if it

                                  Mine is borderline on sizing.  May have to trade for a Large, I think this needs room for a henley under it…

                                          Yeah, I love my green and need it's brother.  This plus a IH henley is a damn good combination.  Imagine layering a black alpaca deck over?  Bulletproof, even in the Minnesota.
