@Bm48 my chest is a touch bigger around 43, but the only way to really be sure on size is to compare the measurements using the same measurement method we use on a well fitting shirt. If you are between sizes or need slightly bigger/smaller in one dimension (within a sensible tolerance), add a note to your order and the guys can locate the best match from what’s available

@AdamC will do, thanks a million for your help Adam

@A-eye-Kev I threw one on for a few seconds last week, no lasting memory I'm afraid
-
@Alex Ok, thank you. I ended up bucking my ownership trend and sizing down b/c of the dims; hopefully that was the right decision!

@A-eye-Kev same

I’m similar (~18.75” shoulder, ~23” p2p, 6’1” / 190lbs) and went with the large when I’m normally XL. Shoulders seem too big on the XL for me. Will see how it is when I get it tomorrow.

@Bm48 Most excellent news--thanks for the update, sir! Will report on mine in a few days.

Wow. This one sold out quick!
-
Large was too small so sending back for XL. Watch out for L to show up if you're waiting to grab it!

Report from the 3rd horseman, lol: Man... I am smack dab right in the middle of you two. The measurements are in alignment with other shirts I have that fit wonderfully, but there is something about the fabric that needs to be taken into account, I think. It is VERY robust... and I don't mean it is super thick or heavyweight(although ya'll must have pretty mild summer heat if you think this is what a lightweight summer shirt fabric is, lol), but rather it has absolutely zero stretch or give to it.
So anyway... kinda in that position which I'm sure many of you can relate, that while it is tight across the shoulders if I bend over and tie my shoes or similar range of motion, the fit is more or less perfect right now. That said, the other side of the coin is if this SOB shrinks after I wash it, I may not be able to pull it off. Currently marinating in that dilemma, and weighing my chances of being able to wash and avoid any shrinkage.
-
@A-eye-Kev Because it is one washed, and the expectation is that there should be zero shrinkage…please go with the measurements/size that would work better for you.
My personal choice for summer clothing is that I tend to wear just a little bigger than normal because of our summer’s heat and humidity. I find tight fitting clothing in those conditions are a little hard to handle.
Just my $.02.

Did a quick evaluation of the ol' birthday suit in the mirror, lol, and looks like I could stand to shed a bit of McDonald's from my torso, so between doing that and just giving this piece cold washes only, I think it will work.
Always appreciate the .02 cents--thank you!! I think I mentally get 'used' to that tailored fit, and larger clothes just feel weird once that acclimation to the former sets in; ergo, I tend to reach for different fabrics better suited for the [very] hotter months instead of larger dims.

I don’t mind slightly oversized. But too tight means uncomfortable and I’ll never wear it. Chest is most important in that regard.
