I find them to be a bit larger, but certainly not a full size too big.

A JCrew medium secret wash button down is fitted on me, maybe a hair small after being washed and shrunk a few times. A large secret wash button down is pretty big on me, and I usually use those as loose fitting shirts for the hot summers.

The medium Linen Camp shirt is literally the perfect fit, for me at least. Slightly larger than a washed and worn button down but no where near a large. I can get you the measurements for a medium (new, haven't washed it yet) later tonight if you want.

Yeah, I've had a charcoal linen camp shirt for two years now... the linen gets really soft and ages well with washing.

That's ok thanks anyways - I'm an XL size. I'll probably order a white linen camp and see if I like it.

Damn, not what I wanted to hear. I already pulled the tags off- we'll see. I wasn't aware they made XS, I asked at the store and they said nope.

Claim that the shirt is defective when you return it. Ask for a store credit if they won't give you your money back. Use the store credit to buy the XS shirt on the red phone.

Or you could just walk into the store and steal the XS. Then sell the S on eBay. Guilt-free profit, FTW!

So do y'all machine dry your secret wash and other l/s button downs? I always hang dry mine. I hate how dryers break down material and I'm always afraid of too much shrinkage.
