I was surprised not only by the fit but also by the feel. First, I'm tall and skinny (6ft 175lbs) and I always expect my arms to not reach as far as I would like. I have orangutan hands, I made it. That's why I prefer shirts in this style, because the sleeves have to be pulled up to the forearm. I have an average guess about the fit around the chest and with this type of material it fits perfectly. These shirts have a softer and more elastic material. feels so good. If you're about my size, note that the chest area will be comfortable (in a good way) but won't be the least bit restrictive due to the material. I will definitely buy more from this brand
