I'm keen to get some sunspel polos. I'd appreciate some guidance on sizing.I'm large in Gant, Ralph Lauren and Oakley.But the guy I get my suits from recommended XL . Is it best to size up? Thanks
Anthony

    Hi Anthony, I've just bitten the bullet and had a rivera shipped over to me in NZ - i am 5'11 with a 42 inch chest, and went for the large - fits like a dream.

    its cut/fit is similar to a Road and Gunn "sports fit' large polo if you have a R&G store nearby to try

    I'm 5''10" 180 lbs. muscular build and I do a (brave) medium. It fits but... It looks fitted. 42" chest or so. I felt like I was right on the cusp of medium/large.

    Sunspel shirts are very fitted I find. If you want something a little looser fitting go up a size. Especially if you have a muscular build. For those with a more average build, you can probably get away with your normal size.

    I usually take an XL (6'4", 45" chest, 21" shoulders) but I need a XXL from Sunspel.

    Really!!! That's incredible, like I said I'm a shade under 6'4" 44 " chest and 22.5 " across the shoulder and I'm in a size large in the riviera and crew t shirt, I would think an XXL would swamp me?? :s

    Maybe you check your height again? Men shrink when they get old :D

    It's a snug fit if you go by your standard size. Also the sleeves are shorter than a standard polo so unless you size up, your underarm hair may poke out.

    Back sack and crack Higgins? :))
    Chest measurements on the large are 43.3" which gives me a fitted look with plenty on my abdominal area I have a large athletic build.

    Definitely 'fitted' and agree that the arms come shorter than an average polo.

    Bear in mind that even with careful (cold) washing they shrink a little - not a lot but worth considering if you're between sizes.

    Wouldn't be without mine :)
