must add that the shirts are cut for those with a muscular chest and shoulders, and narrow hips and collar.

^ I heard somet's were slim, probably the most out of those last 3 brands.

Sounds like you found a couple that work for you though.

Honestly, I thought it was after looking it up online and not finding the mens version but it was in the Mens Section at Macys and it went up to XL, plus I would think they would size down they size XS smaller for women, but then again this thread is somewhat unique. But in the shirts tag, they have 4 boxes (1) Mens, (2) Womens, (3) Sexy Fit and (4) Relax Fit and both "Men" and "Sexy Fit" are checked so I figured it was for mens.

based on the links it's supposd to be a "boyfriend" shirt not really sure what is going on. ( i just found the shirt at 5-6 online places and it's all women's)

Bloomingdales has a few but I believe those are the Relax fits. Here's one from their website, again, i think this one is one of the relax fits but it's hard to tell. http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalo...xx.esn_results Here's from Joe's Jeans website, lots more selections there. http://www.joesjeans.com/shop/home.php?cat=30 And this is the one I tried on at Macys in XS. http://www.joesjeans.com/shop/produc...tid=617&cat=30

I'm short but I'm somewhat unfit and have a barrel chest...(5'6", 140, 38" chest, 29-30" waist), so I have to usually opt for a medium to accommodate for my chest size, but then the length is too long. Should I just go M2M?

I'm in a similar boat. Your best option is probably to take that medium to a tailor and see how much it would cost to get the hem shortened. I've had this done, and it'll probably be cheaper than m2m. However, you can't shorten too much, as the bottom button will cause proportional issues.

Well to be fair, epaulet's XS measurements are actually what an S should be

BiG has measurements for Somet, SE has measurements for Imperials, Context has measurements for KMW

No, they're not. I know this is SF and all, but an 18" pit-to-pit should not be an S, by anyone's standards. Hell, even regular (non-overdye) BoO size S has a 19" pit-to-pit.

mauro, how long are your shirts going to be?

driveslowk · Sep 18, 2009

yeah i am 34"

and i'm 5'6" and pretty skinny (asian) I cannot imagine someone much smaller than me except Xenox (fact not insult)

van_hammersly · Sep 18, 2009

yeah but when you have a 34" chest you dont want the pit to pit measurement of a shirt to be 34 cause that's literally skin tight. I find 35"-36" works good.

driveslowk · Sep 18, 2009

^ I thought he meant jacket size. b/c 34 in boo, zara, etc have been great for me.

nahneun · Sep 18, 2009

in america, a small is usually a 38. in europe, a small is usually a 36. in asia, a small is a 34
