Tender Co - RRL - APC - Vans

Been digging your tender co fits lately, wondering if you (or others) have sizing (and/or part. pieces) recs on shirts/pullovers/tees? For ref, I'm 5'7" about 160, so not long & lean like you (wear a L in PF, but mostly for shoulders & chest, still long thru body and slvs). thx

Are you going to order from Tender direct? Just email William. He’s super helpful and quick to respond.

@AJL i just sat down and measured two of my Tender button up shirts. the stuff from the brand i've seen runs big, but how big appears to vary. with how big these are, any shrinkage has not been noticeable. not sure if shrinkage will differ between shirt materials/dyes, or about tee sizing. with these measurements, i'm surprised to see such variance between types, but i hope this helps point you in some direction. i usually take a small in most brands.

420 tail shirt, size 2, cotton calender cloth
pit to pit 25 1/2
shoulder to shoulder 22
sleeve 21 1/4
rear length from bottom of collar 28 1/2
front length 23 1/2
body width 24

430 butterfly shirt size 2, crock cloth:
pit to pit 22 1/2
shoulder to shoulder 17 1/2
sleeve 26 1/2
rear length from boc 30 1/2
front length 27 1/4
body width 22 1/4

Wow, quite a bit of variation between the 2 styles, obviously they're intended to fit differently (but you're happy w/ both?)

Based on your measures, the size 2 420 tail shirt would fit me, and then some, and even the 430 in size 2 looks doable, at least on paper. hmmm...gotta go back and study your fits a bit more. thx for info!

@AJL happy with both, yeah. The 420 is my fav: The short front on it makes it look a little more purposeful. And the placement of pockets is imo better.

@ghdvfddzgzdzg yeah, the 420 is def on my radar, and the short front makes it that much better for me (short guy). Great input, thx
