Looks like it is time to start the regularly scheduled shirt thread.
I offer this message not as a complaint, but as guidance for people
picking up their own shirts.

The counter people will helpfully tell you that sizing runs small, and
by that they mean *very* small.  I normally teeter on the L/XL line
back in the USA, depending on manufacturer.  Here they offered me 2XL
as likely, yet even that size was not quite big enough.  It cut off
the blood flow in my biceps and was basically the smallest possible
shirt I could fit on my body.

I haven't yet tried on the 3XL for which I exchanged it, but it'll
have to do.
