      Wait are those sleeves cuffed too? And they're still too long. Need a size down for sure

        I would wash it and tumble to get some
        Shrink rather than sizing down.

          its not about sizing down imho. @nizzel55  tts is a large as I understand. he had a SG indigo over dyed XL (which was measured a Large maybe smaller due to the shrinkage process from factory). I would say he upsized now from his regular L to an XL which might work when you like wearing oversized sweaters. The sweat will shrink thats correct but it will also stretch out again as well depending how much you stress the fabric. I don't know how much it shrank when I washed it but it stretched out to a comfort fit still slim as you see on my pic. I don't know how much it shrinks in tumble dry, maybe @Max Power has an input here.

          Have you checked out BiG measurements for it? then you could get a good indication sizewise.

          I have a friend who took the medium he is small size like me, he tried to be happy with it and gave it to a another friend in the end because he was not happy with the overall fit. he is still sad not getting a small from the beginning but he is patiently waiting for a small now. Again we both like it on the slimmer in this specific ballpark hoodie.

          good luck nizzel with your decision its a great sweat and different people like wearing a sweat differently.

          maybe you'll get that extra keeping it between an L and XL with a hot wash and a tumble dry and you could be fine with that XL like some said. sorry not to be of better help

          Cheers,
          David

            just want to add that the L ballpark will probably fit approx the same as the SG XL you had around chest area @nizzel55

            and just measured P2P in my small ballpark hoodie which is actually more or less 51cm (20") so I had about 1.5-2" stretch compared to BiG measurements (keep in mind I washed it, always 30 Celsius full spin) and this is a slim fit on me under armpits

            I have a Ballpark Party going on  😃

            Cheers,

              @davito nice collection! I have the ball park crew neck, the loopwheel crew neck and a couple of the midweight raglan sleeve crew neck, and I think the ball park is the best all around in terms of fit and fabric.

              @nizzel55 You could wash and dry it for a little shrinkage but those are pre-washed so not going to shrink a ton. Just depends how you want to wear it. Go for size large if you want slimmer fit and want to layer the sweat under other stuff. Can't really go wrong either way in my opinion.

                A big thanks for all the comments and suggestions/opinions  @davito and everyone else who has written. I left the hoodie at work (was delivered there). I will try it on one more time on Monday before I will make my decision. Leaning towards getting a Large instead.

                  Picked up this old style zip deck jacket on the second hand market.  Nice wool lining and cuffs and pretty happy on the fit too.

                        The fit makes the jacket IMO.. Super sweet pick-up as always @Qinhan!

                          Thanks guys.  The fit is definitely traditional in that there hasnt been any slimming or tapering to suit modern sensibilities.  Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it looks.

                              Anyone interested in my mermaid cpo in size 15? Such an awesome shirt but too different from what I usually wear.

                                    Someone needs to scoop this! Seems like a steal of a price.

                                      This is absolutely ridiculous, even with a busted front zip. For smaller guys:

                                          Finally bought myself something from RMC. I found this Ball Park Sweat lightly used on the 'bay and needless to say I am impressed. Nice heavy weight and fits nice and slim like I wanted.
