Yes they are.

I concur with you and with Robear's original advice - just a strange fit for me. Too bad, as it's an awesome shirt and would definitely have been something I'd have kept for years. Too much to fool around with for the price.

I'll leave you guys with this regarding the Star Iron Ore shirt:

medium: shoulder seam to seam: 17.5"; pit-to-pit: 20.5"; waist gusset to gusset: 20"

large:  shoulder seam to seam: 18"; pit-to-pit: 21.5"; waist gusset to gusset: 22" 

I checked and double checked my measurements.

FWIW, this season's red chambray:  shoulder seam to seam: 17.5"; pit-to-pit: 20"; waist gusset to gusset: 19.5", IMO ridiculous, and I say that regretfully.

Sorry buddy, no typo. I actually just remeasured my waist at 37". I wear a 33", and a few 32", waist in nearly all of my RRL pants and jeans. All 34's I've had to have taken in by a tailor. Remember, RRL bottoms are vanity sized, so be careful not to determine waist size by pants but by actually using a measuring tape. And yes, a medium RRL top fits me perfectly, save for the shirts that I mentioned that are cut awkwardly. The vintage promontory workshirt from this season fits me just fine (a little loose) in a size medium.

Cheers...

Yes. I didn't take measurements of the stamfitter shirt, but they are very much the same.

Many thanks.

Those are clearly used and washed. They made them about 3 years ago in Rigid and Aged White only IIRC. I don't even know what's going on with the waistband leather tag.

They are based on the slim bootcut.
