Nice. Do they fit true to size? I'm pretty much a small in everything, but like my polos to be fairly fitted. It says they have a "generous" fit, but I always thought the MiE ones were fairly fitted.

what's your jacket / waist size?

I was going to order a couple of these and I'm 44 jacket, 34 waist but the sizing chart says the Large is for 41-43 shoulders and ther XL is 44-46

do they stretch out at all?

46 jacket, 33.5 waist... I like my polos to fit quite slim though. I posted a pic of this polo in the WAYWN a few weeks ago, you can search for it if you want.

I think I found it below. The waist looks fine and the shoulders would probably work for me since you a bit bigger than I am (46 vs 44)


how do they stretch by the way???

They stretch a bit like any cotton shirt, not a huge amount but a decent amount.

Any new ideas here? Are there any good alternatives to the JCrew ones? Ideally I'd like jersey, slim fit, and not too long.

I tried a James Perse recently and found it really baggy. As for the other, I should have added that I'd prefer something without a logo if possible. Thanks though.
