I ordered this shirt in XL, I usually get XL shirts in "loose fit" and they fit me, too when i'm a little wider in the middle than i should be. This shirt was described as having a "loose fit" but apparently that's not the same as the "relaxed fit" I usually get. it's a bit tight in the middle, although I can still wear it. I would describe this shirt as a "regular fit" rather than a relaxed fit. If you don't have extra pounds around your waist, this shirt will suit you perfectly. Linen fabric is lightweight, breathable and feels comfortable. The shirt should be great for keeping you cool on hot and muggy days. !
