That was also one of the pieces of feedback.  However, "fit" is something that doesn't seem well represented on the size charts.

For example, the shirts used in Berlin had a size chart in line roughly with US sizes.  Obviously the fit ended up being "generous". :-P

My conclusion at the end of the exercise was that the inputs provided by the manufacturer aren't sufficient and that it's necessary to get samples at the relevant sizes and compare them vs. some baseline.
