What exactly is the "sleeve over shoulder" measurement. It looks like I would be a L in your shirts and, from experience with your jackets and knitwear, I assume the sleeves will work, but I'm used to seeing several more inches in the sleeve measurement.
It's taking the measurement not from the shoulder seam, but from the neck seam (at the side of the neck)
We do this because so many of our garments do not have a typical shoulder seam — e.g. a raglan sleeve. By giving the "sleeve over shoulder" in this way, it takes into account the full distance from the neck, over the shoulder, and down the sleeve to the end.
Maybe we should rename it "sleeve from side neck" ... ?
