Sunspel Riviera Polo Fit

The 007 sunspel polo.
I managed to finally track some down in Australia.
But they only had medium.
Tried it on - seemed to fit ok. BUT maybe small might fit better? (specifically in the shoulders)
Have attached a pic to show the fit. Is that pretty much spot on? Would small be too small?
And is the sunspel website the best place to buy them online?

**ADD WHITE VINEGAR**
Yup, vinegar. You can add detergent too however for first time washes of new colors just use a cup of vinegar and don't use detergent.
*Add a cup (240 ml) of white vinegar to the cold water in your wash BEFORE adding your clothes. *Allow the wash to gyrate and mix in the vinegar.
*Add clothes and allow to gyrate until all items of clothing are soaked.
*Stop the washer and allow your clothes to soak for 10-20 minutes.
*Then start the washer and allow the cycle to finish.
The white vinegar will help adhere the dye to the fabric. You'll notice, especially with brand new colors, that there is very little, if any, dye in the water.

No need to worry, it will not be noticeable.
How much do these polos fade anyway?
I bought a Nordstrom's polo, just like the Sunspel, 100% cotton mesh, except without the pocket.
The salesman at Norstroms told me to do it. I did it, it will not reek of vinegar and it did not mess it up.
Maybe you should contact Customer Service and their opinion on the matter. The thing about rinsing in white vinegar is that is dissolves the soap in the rinse cycle.
1 black and 1 navy Riviera Polo shirt size large. I love the fit of these shirts. The arms feel similar to the RLP fitted shirts, but the shoulder area and upper back are in their own league with the Sunspel shirt. These are definitely a fitted type shirt that look good as long as your waist is smaller than your shoulder girth.:D These would not work well with concealed carry with a waist holster. Pocket carry while wearing these.
2 black Sunspel XL T-shirts like the "Dark Knight" and Bond wore. These are very nice and soft. You definitely need to go a size up with the T-shirts and they say this on their site. These are very similar to a black t-shirt I used to buy years ago from another company except the cotton fabric on the Sunspel version is much nicer.
2 white Lg. Superfine Cotton Vest undershirts. This is my first time trying this type of shirt and they are very comfortable.
Mantis you owe me several Benjamin's because this is all your fault. If it wasn't for those damn video podcast's and the Bond Lifestyle site I would of never traveled down this road. Bond's style in C.R. and Q.O.S. are exactly what I like to wear. Now if I could only find the Tom Ford Shawl Collar Cardigan I would be very happy!!!!
I can back that up too - I got the CR three piece from Baron, now I've got the QoS suit on order and I got a lot of the Magnoli ties too yesterday along with the Tom Ford sunnys and the Sunspel navy polo... my wife isn't best pleased...

OMG, can't quite believe I have read this??!!
Wine vinegar? Are you kidding????
Buy cheap, expect to have to use cheap tricks...!
I , like Roland007, have worn my many Sunspel shirts to death, both blue and black and simply wash them inside out on a 30c wash, nothing special. What fades a shirt is drying it outside in the sun (UV!)
Hence the inside out - but I dry inside. So no worries...!
Nice haul AstonMartin.....
I have similar. Very nice!
And Mantis is right....
It gets worse....
