In what Universe does this look good? I dare you to find a properly sized t-shirt and polo at WalMart that look worse!

AA fits just a little long for me, but so does everything else in the world so no problem. If you look at those pictures, the shoulder seams are at the models' biceps, they're probably wearing XXLs or something.

Lol that looks like an XXXL. They are short for me too and I am 6'1. If I size up to a Large I am wearing a tent, but in the medium it is a tad too short. Still looking for a t shirt that fits me well.

They're purposely oversized if I'm thinking right. I have a couple oversized tshirts from AA that look good (because they're vicose) but the ones on the gilt models are pretty funny.

I like AA shirts since they fit pretty well but their sizing is pretty off. I have one XS shirt that is bigger than one of my smalls.

On the subject of t shirts, have any of you guys tried the old navy plain white tees that come in the pack? I think its 2 in the pack.

target > AA, in material and size consistency. Given up on AA especially since they kneecapped resellers/wholesalers. I'm getting bored of cheap tees anyway, would rather buy acne or something.

Hold up...that model is wearing a size XL and he is 6'1"

I wear a small and I am 5'10" 150

He is simply wearing the wrong size. Ridiculously so, indeed. He should have on no more than a medium. There is another pic of him wearing a medium in seafoam and it looks much better. I don't know what Gilt was thinking.

Now, I am in a agreement that AA sizing has become inconsistent, and yes, I do think quality has gone down, but the Gilt pictures should not be used as evidence.

Talk about ridiculously oversized tees, Acne fits the bill.
