How does the shirt fit?

The shirt is designed to be loose-fitting, like original garments. Some sizes are described as roomy or "tent-like," particularly larger sizes. However, a size small is not considered overly roomy and fits well for a 38" chest and 32" waist. The fit can vary between individual shirts, with some finding their chosen size to be much larger than expected.

Are the sleeves a good length?

The sleeves generally run long, which is expected by some, especially for shorter individuals. For a 5'8" person with a 43" chest, the sleeves are a bit too long but not a deal breaker. An M size might offer less leeway in the sleeve compared to an M-L.

What is included with the shirt?

The shirt is collar attached and does not include pockets or epaulets. It is a pullover-style shirt. Some suggest that for full period authenticity, the shirt should have a detachable collar and turnback cuffs.
