Does anyone know where you can pick up size small T-shirts that are actually small? I keep finding they're either too long, the arms aren't properly fitted or they're just bad quality.

Just picked a good one up from Folk but otherwise haven't found one that fits properly in ages Eek

I always thought that Small is 36 , Medium 38 , Large 40 and XL 42

It really is time that there was a standard size guide for clothes

Everything should be in inches IMO, so you can get the exact size.

I have noticed this - I don't have large shoulders and I've found the only place I can get good tees that fit me from is Gap. It also depends on what brand you're after - I deal with a lot of urban stuff and sometimes their smalls are what I would consider at least a medium.

I find Gap sizing infuriating , last week I picked up a shirt in XS which fits perfect . While a S sweatshirt was tiny in there , it makes no sense at all

I thought [UK]40/[EURO]50, shirtsize 16 was regular. I'm a 48/38 shirt size 15 which thought was small.
Unfortunatly older CdG Homme plus tees (apparently size free) are too small for me, last 3 I looked at were 45cm (broad) [pit-2-pit], and 41cm across the shoulders. Sad Anyone here have experience with CdG Homme+ Tees? Frustraiting. CdG Shirts "S" are a relatively uniform 56/58broad, 46-48shoulders.

Really wouldn't help at all, stuff labelled in inches still varies widely. You could get LVC jeans labelled as a 38 that measure between 33 and 40 inches in the waist.

Levis are notoriously shit at sizing though, I'm sure they do it on purpose so you have to go to a shop and try stuff on rather than buy it online. It's fucking anoying when you're rifeling through stacks of jeans looking at the size lebels knowing full well that even if you find your size it probably won't fit you.

A big brand company like that MUST be able to sort out their labeling so that a 34" label realy means a 34" waist.
