I have thrifted a few of the shirts, and have one or two in the closest and frankly, they fit like tents. All are XL and not only are the collars HUGE but the rest of the shirt balloons out terribly. They fit more like other brands XXL, sad too as I like the stuff, just not the fit.
Exactly! I stopped in an EB factory store yesterday and liked the looks of their polo shirts, until I unfolded one and saw how wide it was. A mannequin had a T-shirt with lots of fabric bunched up in the back so it would look like a good fit.

It seems like every retailer that sells shirts is pulling that dirty trick nowadays. I can't remember the last time I went to mall and saw a shirt displayed in a way that represented how it would actually fit.
