Burberry Polo Fit

Just curious if anyone else has had this same experience.. I got a burberry polo a few years ago and I really like it, but the fit is just annoying. I bought a small, because I detest when polos hang down too long, and the length and arm/chest fit is great (to give you an idea, I wear a 5 in lacoste polo, and it's maybe a 1/2" shorter than that). The problem I'm seeing is that the damn thing just balloons out when not tucked in. Makes it look like I've got a football under the shirt in front, and while I'm not a fitness model by any means, my stomach is certainly not as big as the shirt makes it appear (I'm 5'7, ~150). The shirt didn't do this originally, so I'm thinking that this happened somehow in washing it, or the cut or material just ended up doing this over time. The shirt is only about 3-4 years old, and wasn't even worn for about a year of that time.

So, getting to the point, has anyone noticed this with burberry or other polos? Think it's just how the shirt was made, or it was just too short?
