Thought you all may be interested in this lot:

Decent selection of shirts - flannel / oxford / gingham check. Much better priced than the likes of Gitman etc. made in London using period machinery (I have no idea whether that's supposed to be better or not).

Nice looking shirts, stupid sizing. A small has a 21.3" chest!

Surely that's just more of a traditional/ classic fit as opposed to the recent fad for slimming everything down?

I have S jackets with smaller measurements. Are we doing 'great vintage fit' again by which we swing to the other extreme of wearing a tent?

Just under 23" on a size L is hardly tent territory, particularly if you look at brands like EG, Post Overalls, Tenderloin etc. and I know they are more formal shirts but it doesn't seem massively oversized to me.

Looks pretty normal to me? At least for a medium - 22" across the chest & 19" shoulders? That's pretty much bang on a medium. Fits well on the model as well.
