Sizing amounts to a black art and varies radically from manufacturer to manufacturer and from country of origin to country of origin. Americans are unfathomably huge to much of the world- both in height and girth. If you travel a bit you will often observe that Americans tend to be both the tallest and widest people in a crowd. And the loudest, too. In Paris I noticed that you could spot Americans a block away, easy. We're just that much bigger. Restaurant staff knew I was an American before I had gotten across the threshold.
I found that the Riv seersucker shirts fit me well, but most other Riv XL tops have been too small for a 6'4" 215 lbs guy. However, that's by no means unique to Riv, at many stores I have to look at XXL and/or XL-tall. Then the items are usually such too large in the torso to get them long enough in the arms. At LL Bean, OTOH, I have to buy L-tall or I can use the shirt as an overcoat. I do not envy Grant/et al in trying to get sizing right. I imagine it is the source of many headaches. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
