Korean shirts differ by about 2 inches per size, while American sizes differ by 4 inches per size. American sleeves are shorter and looser for the most part as well. Korean shirts taper, and look better on decently built guys, but need to be looser if your chest isn't bigger than your waist. There are a few reasons other people would order the same way as me (hence the sellouts): 1) 38" chest fits Korean medium but is too big for an American small -> Med/Med (Amer/Kor) 2) Most American sizes are made to be a little baggy, and look funny if the chest is fitted but the sleeves are loose. So 36" chest would look funny in American small -> Med/Med. 3) I had a third example but I forgot it... Someone with a 40" chest would probably get Med/Large, and someone with a 36" chest could instead get Sm/Med if his chest is close to his waist measurement. Skinny guys with a 38" chest would probably get Med/Large. That's my whole point with needing 2 polls. EDIT: What may have confused you in my post is that I put "Korean Medium (Amer Sm)" in it. I was just quoting the way they had the MBC shirts listed in the store, even though they do not measure the same dimensions. Sorry. Yeah, I stuck a note about it in the store, but it doesn't describe the differences fully, and I doubt many people read it: Korean sizes differ from American sizes. A Korean Large is about the same chest size as an American Medium, but it is a little over an inch shorter. A Korean Medium is a little bigger than an American small, and a Korean Extra Large is a little smaller than an American Large. I didn't know about the sleeves either, it was hard enough finding the right chest measurements for American sizes (most charts go by size of the wearer instead of size of the shirt). Frankly, buying clothes online is a crapshoot anyway. :p | ||

Small is too small. Large is too large. Medium is never too medium. | ||
