This shirt definitely runs small, especially for a man's shirt. As I said, I kept it anyway. My boys (7 and 8 years old) are wearing them now as they were too small for me. I bought them for my morning bike ride. The shirt is pretty much unisex but keep in mind that it is a bit narrow and long. I am a woman who wears a small to medium sized shirt and it was snug for its intended use so did not fit me. The fabric is thick and durable, definitely made to last. Real cream color.
