Shirts
Looking for opinions from you guys on what brand of shirt you like the best and a good place to get them.

I've always worn the Cliff Keen ones, but I'm looking to try something new.

My biggest problem is that I seem to be in between a Large and an XL. Cliff Keen XL used to fit me very well, but it seems they changed their cut/sizing and it seems a tad big. The L makes me look like I'm wearing my son's shirt. I'm looking for a brand that has a more athletic fit. I don't necessarily want to look like I'm busting out of my shirt, but I don't want to look like I'm swimming either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have an alternative for you, but the Cliff Keen shirts are really great. Not only that, they're made in the USA and that makes me feel good about wearing them.

The last time I purchased CK shirts was 1 or 2 years ago. Does the size you ordered seem true to size?

Like I stated above, the XL I ordered last time, seemed really big. I have other XL from CK that fit way better with a more athletic cut.

The shirts are sized big. So I order a size smaller.

I've got a CK that is true to size. Same size in a Dalco that is more snug.

Wear it snug. Show off those pipes

I like the CK shirts best, the Smitty is the worst for me. Those are the only 2 with the embroidery I need. I like the old Officials Choice for a clean shirt (no patches).

I always get my shorts tailored so the fit really well. I need XXL for the length, but not for the girth so I have it taken in.

Doesn't matter the brand if the tailor is skilled.
