Beautiful fabric in this shirt. I've never owned a chambray shirt and it's very nice. I'm not a tall guy, but I'm bigger in the chest from years of weights. I went with the xxl and I'm 5'8" 210 48" chest roughly 20.5 across the shoulders. It fit, but was just a little big in my opinion. XL would've probably been to small after a wash. I did soak it in hot water on a gentle cycle in my washing machine with the spin cycle on the lowest setting. After that I dried it on low in the dryer, taking it out every 10 minutes to keep tabs on the fit. Probably didn't even really complete 20 minutes in the dryer on low and the fit is spot on. I already know this will be a favorite for me between the material, the stitching and the design of the shirt. Hopefully this helps you big-chested shorter guys like me. Tellason has great quality garments and fabulous customer service.
