The problem with modern t-shirts is that the neck area is too big and because people said this shirt was a bit tight I ended up making it a size up but it was too loose, so I ended up going with a medium - it's the perfect length, the arms are nice and tight but the neck area is still a bit loose for me. I wish they had the shirts bottom long and tight around the neck, with regular sleeves from shoulder to bicep, athletic fit but no swim at the neck. I'm tired of sending things back so I'll just keep it but this is a good shirt if you want a good shirt try Alpinestars it's great and will last forever.
