that is a small. and they don't have xs. For $10 each I'll keep them. If they had xs I'd exchange, but whatever.

from the handful of items I've ordered over the last 3/4 year... sizing is all over the place. Some stuff fits quite slim for a mall-type brand, others huge. the only things that I've kept so far- striped oxford that fit reasonably slim (a little slimmer than jcrew) and a striped rugby that fit me almost perfectly v-neck tee and polo - fit slim fleece and shawl neck sweater - big and/or really long think I posted measurements for some items a number of months ago

So, my order came in today. Reviews as follows.

Corps Jacket: Pics on the website are a little deceptive. The collar is pretty big and bulky, especially on account of the concealable hood (which I may cut out to make the collar less bulky). Also, it's longer (long enough to cover ******) then it looks on the website. It's pretty light, perfect for spring/fall (especially if you layer). I'm glad I ordered a large, seems to run a tad big. All in all, a good piece on discount.

Men's Mock Neck Cardigan: Pretty thin and lightweight, interesting waffle-y pattern to the fabric. It's comfortable though, and the light weight of it makes it a good layering piece. Runs pretty TTS or even a tad big, all in all a good piece.

Vintage Fleece Crew Sweater: Thick and comfortable, runs a bit tight in the arms and body and shorter then their other sweaters. I like it.

Fold Up Hat: Great toque, once that marsupialed tag thingy on it comes off.

Also, they included a $10 gift card + free shipping code.

Oh! My mistake, I misread your post as saying they were mediums, I understand now.

I'm pretty shocked at how big it is. Especially considering there is no xs option. I wear a medium in hanes comfort soft t-shirts and this small henley is easily bigger than those.

I'm keeping it though as something to wear around the house.

How much would the Jersey Blazer shrink? I just got mine and its slighty tight when buttoned up. I'm now looking into the medium, but I can only imagine how big it might fit.

Here we go. Excuse the wrinkled shirt, I put it on straight out of the bag. Everything is size small. Chambray:

I'm iffy on the hertiage cardigan. Not sure if I like the fit yet or not. Will probably be keeping the rest.

Yes, fit is nice on you. What are your body measurements?
I'm indecisive about S and M since others say they run big. I fit M is all the typical mall brands at 6'0'', 175 lb, 39-40" chest.

size small has a garment chest of 42 1/2 inches, length at the center back of 29 1/2 inches, waist of 39 1/2 inches and sleeve of 33 3/4 from the center back neck

it seems like S will do just fine if you want a fitted look

I am 5 11 and im 160 pounds. Small only fits well on the chest area, anywhere else is too small. your best bet is M. though if i were you i would get a large and get to a tailor. the arms on these shirts run a little short

don't listen to this guy. if you get small you literally won't be able to move your arms across your chest and the fit will actually look funny, to get the "fitted look" just go to a tailor shop.
