This. I mostly buy size S t-shirts, sometimes M, occassionally XS. I dont even care anymore.
If the shirt isn't xl, I can't raise my hands without showing my belly.
Also if the shirt is bigger than L, I'm swimming in it.
I have a long torso and broad shoulders, so I have to get xl tall shirts in some brands because most make their standard xl shirts wider but not taller than med and small.
Banana Republic is the shortest length. Hurley is the best length.
Tall sizes ftw
They're so hard to find. I have to buy all my shirts at Eddie Bauer because 1) I'm a dad and 2) they're one of the only stores that regularly carry them.
I’m between a medium and a large. More often then not though, I need the shoulder width and arm length of a large, but the cut in the torso of a medium. Clothing manufacturers assume Americans scale horizontally as they scale vertically. This maybe true given our obesity crisis.
