I'm 5'10'', 175lbs, w/ the long back short legs structure. I purchased two new shirts in Medium and Large to test and compare to my original from five years ago that I absolutely loved and wore to rags when I weighed 200lbs.I give 5/5 stars for the quality of the stitching and the overall integrity of the fabric itself - the two reasons why I will continue to love this shirt. If I could not tailor this shirt to my ideal fitment and comfort then I would not own it.Large: Sleeves are nearly perfect in length for reaching and are 2 past the skin crease of my wrist or 3/4 above the first web space with arms at rest, and are extra cozy/loose around the bicep and shoulder. When I grab and pull the shirt away from my sternum, there's 11 of excess material. This large is way too big for me, mostly in circumferential dimensions, but I LOVE it as a lazy house shirt/fake robe. I look ridiculous in it but it makes my inner child happy - I'll keep it.Imho, the large is better suited for those within the spectrum of 5'10, 300lb to 6'2, 240lb.Medium: Sleeves are perfect in length as a pre-washed garment and will be too short if/when you carelessly do laundry, as I did; which turned the sleeves into 3/4 sleeves but the un-tucked shrunken torso, when paired with an undershirt, fit better than perfect when I weighed 200lbs. What prevents the medium from being perfect for my 175lb structure is excess material around the armpit and latissimus muscle - this area of the shirt completely ruins my tucked-in style because I cannot lift my arm(s) past 80 degrees without the shirt becoming untucked at the side(s); which looks quite sloppy with my leaner physique.Prior to tailoring, when I would try to scrupulously showcase my back side as to not give the impression that I harbor a soggy diaper, I would notice that if I had failed to properly fold over the extra shirt material the excess would bunch up, misalign and print the messy details onto my pants, thus making me look like a hurried shirt stuffer rather than a meticulous individual that tries to live with intent and purpose.What I found most bizarre is the fact that the neck fitment on the large and medium are nearly identical. Perhaps this large in particular is a little off; not certain.Analysis, of my five years of lived experience in this shirt as a blue-collared, counter-culture, sigma male and in relation to life stresses, appearance, attitude and demeanor:Tucked in, average build:....., who's that sharp mystery man that looks structured and cares about himself?Untuck, average build:Huh, look at that free-spirited yet bewildered youngster unwilling to dress as an adult. and/orLook at that classy, urban gardener, he probably has a wicked succulent collection and grows weeds on cardboard.Tucked in, overweight:Stop lying and gift yourself a tailored suit appropriate for the region and season, you'll feel like a million bucks... the currency not the animals.Untuck, overweight:Don't touch his personal toolbox without asking, his wrench drawer is labeled Whistlin' Tommyhawks for a reason!!
