Concerning N Peal sizing

So with the NTtD jumper "controversy" raging on, and me sitting on the fence on a number of N Peal items for a long time, I thought it would be a good moment to ask this.
I only own one N Peal item, the Spectre Cable Roll Neck Sweater in Fumo Grey. I purchased it from a fellow member and have been very happy with it. However, I have noticed that it has streched over time, especially the neck, and it does look baggy and unfit. I'm not conscious of having mistreated it, have always folded it carefully and kept it in a drawer, etcetera. Has any member found a similar problem?
To be honest, it wasn't too fit since the beginning, and I seem to recall this sweater was an exception to N Peal sizing (did you need to size down?). The thing is, one of my doubts regarding getting new items is precisely the sizing.
I'm a 41" chest, and according to N Peal I should order sweaters in M size. Would this be correct? If so, should I eventually look for the cable roll in S size?
As usual, thanks in advance for your comments and feedback.

NPeal clothing is notoriously over sized. And it will stretch over time given for the delicate nature of the fabric.
Some of mine that start feeling a bit baggy spring right back to size on washing.
NPeal have a page about how to wash them. They will also wash it for you for a small fee I believe (if you live near London).
Will try as suggested, or look for a specialised cleaner nearby.

Yea, I'm concerned about the same issue although I'm looking at larger sizes, I sent a detailed request to NP this morning asking for help and advice, I will be sure and share whatever they send back to me. I had posed a similar question on the thread about NTTD wardrobe and based on my measurements the suggestions were to go XL, but I keep seeing people who say size down. This will be my first NP item so I really want to get it right.

When David did his vlog the small for him was more SA than the Medium although the medium still fitted well.
Personally I would say size down, there larger than normal.
I'm a 40 chest and went for a small to get that SA look although the M would of been okay but I didn't want it loose.
If you want it more looser style stick with your normal size.
Just waiting now for the revised SA version that there doing for size XS and smalls.
Hope that sort of helps
I receive a reply to about half my e-mails to N. Peal.
So you know, that N. Peal will be revising the patches situation only for sizes XS and small, may I ask?
Thank you for clarifying in advance.
Best regards,

Doesn't specify, but I'd imagine Medium would be covered too. Would be weird if the most common size was not scaled correctly.
