[EDIT - Minus one more star because after a few washes the collar curls up and never looks the same again. First choose one size larger. I have XXL, I would recommend XL for my height. A loop that leaves awkward shrinkage in various places isn't a big deal to me. Simply dry on low heat or air dry. I would have given 5 stars if the product image didn't show a shirt with a slit when in reality the shirt has a curved hem with no slit.
