If a Small is 21.6" P2P then it's hard to see how they fit smaller than last season, unless the shoulders have been narrowed up alot. I think a trip to Oi Polloi is in order.
Thanks HW.

. I emailed, asking them to take a proper measurement, and they came back with 22" 
If the Zoo Village measurements are accurate it's working out that a size Small would have a P2P of 21.6".

OK my magic purple old great sweat is
P2P = 24" total length = 27"
new large
P2P = 23.5" total length = 27"
so basically the same fit. Although I am beginning to think this old XS is an error in manufacturing.
so a small could be 42" chest considering L = 47".
uniqlo small (washed) = 21.5" P2P and 24.5" length.
P2P = 24" total length = 27"
new large
P2P = 23.5" total length = 27"

Obviously living in london makes it easier, but it was worth the £8 train fare + £22 trying / liberty additional money to get the correct size.
I would have prob gone for medium, which would be fine with just a t-shirt, but for the classic undershirt / oxford / sweatshirt look you need a bit more room.

for the record, I asked tresbien about the new sweats and they said: "The sleeves are more slim in particular but also the garment in general." Judging by HW's measurements this sounds like an understatement. 27" back for a L is definitely a lot smaller than before - last season's grey in a M is 27.75".
the xs i just got is a bit tight along the sleeves, also shorter and slimmer in body too. going to order a small to size up a bit, and see how that comes up, so if anyone wants the xs before i most probably back it in a couple of days, pm me. better feel and colour than last seasons.
