Nike regular clothes tends to run big, perfect for Jets swole arms.

Big is an understatement. They run 2 to 3 sizes larger than normal. But athletic gear tends to run large for most if not all sportswear companies.

Nike used to run big, but everything I've purchased in the past year has fit TTS.

Are you buying their compression stuff?

They still fit me huge, I always have to go for a size XS and that still tends to fit bigger than I want.

Even their fitted tees aren't that fitted, I always opt for the compression versions.


Chiming in on the Nike quality though, I've been more than happy with their performance clothing. I have basketball/running shorts, compression tees, sweats, etc... that gets used and washed on a weekly basis that is still in good shape and doesn't look faded or worn badly. I have tees that I wear around the house that are 5 years old that is still holding up well.

Their regular stuff runs huge. Their "fitted' line I think is a bit more TTS, whereas the compression is slim for sure.

"Compression fit" is next to skin, "fitted" is very slim.

The running jacket I was referring to is fitted and IIRC mine was a large. (42" chest, 33" waist)

Jet,

Did you buy it already? What do you think?

The one I bought last season has orange on the inside, :slayer: apparently they got rid of the color scheme.

One thing Nike can't do right is a pair of sweatpants. Even their fitted feels like parachute pants but their compression is skin tight.

For the most part, compression is supposed to be skin tight and usually worn as an undershirt/underwear.
