Feel free to respond. I didn't mean for this to appear to be a closed thread. That's my fault.

Thanks. I saw that earlier. I'm particularly interested in specific sleeve length, shoulder, chest, and length measurements.

I get one of mine tomorrow (finally shipped), so I'll measure and post for the board's edification.

They are 16-33. The yoke is on the short side. The shirts themselves are on the short side. I'm wearing one now, but I don't have a tape measure. The fit is similar to a slim-fit BB shirt, but with narrower arms and shorter yoke.

Quite narrow shoulders for a 16 shirt. I was very surprised by the fit of these shirts when I stopped by the other day.

That's what I was trying to say.

The sleeve length is a 33, not a 34? Don't think that's going to work.

I don't think it's a 34 myself. At least, it doesn't _wear_ like a 34. Not the ones I have.

It was definitely 34 (at least pre-wash) on the one I tried last week. I need 35 sleeves and I can tell pretty quickly whether it's too short or way too short. The SA said that sleeve length and collar would shrink a little though.

I am typically 16 -32 or 33, and never go longer than 33 sleeves and the Black Fleece size 3 sleeves are just right. The shirt itself is short and the shoulders are small, but the overall effect (for me) is just a slim fit shirt.

I've sworn off the shirts because I need a 36 sleeve. I bought several shirts last year and they've all become casual shirts for wearing sans jacket.

So what were the measurments on that new shirt that you got? My understanding is that BB lengthened the sleeves recently. I need 35" sleeves and 15.5" neck.
