Following the recommendation of a few people on here, I've bought a handful of LEC shirts (about 6) sized down to a small from a medium. At first, I loved them. They weren't billowy, they looked good, priced decently. I wore them a couple of times each and started noticing a trend. All the sleeves were sufficiently short, I have to roll them up in order to wear them. The shoulder seam was about 1/2" to 3/4" high of my shoulder. If I pulled my shoulders back or reached waaaaay behind me, I could feel some tension in the buttons. And my wife started saying I was on the boundary of hipster fit (a little bit further down the line from billowy than I was looking for).
They're still much better than most of my other shirts (polos and dark blue vertical stripes, meh), and I think they still look fine rolled up and casual like, but they've definitely moved from "fantastic!" to "ehh... they'll do". So now I feel a little stuck. Some of these shirts were bought back in May, and I kind of feel like I'm taking advantage of LEC's rather generous return policy. Should I hold on and swap them out over the next few year? Or dump them and try to get a better fit?
