Chest size matters
Discussion
That's got the collective PH attention 
But it's not what you're thinking.
I want to order a new polo shirt with a custom embroidered logo, but it seems there is a massive variation in the sizing ranges between different manufacturers.
For instance, my chest measures a healthy PH average of 44", a bit less than my brother Sylvest with his row of 40 medals.
44" equates to EXL according to the company producing the garment I require.
However, my official TVRCC T-shirt is a Size L, measures 44" chest and fits perfectly.
I also have a sweatshirt by Urban Spirit which measures a baggy 50", but that is just a Size M.
The net result is confusion about which size to order. Especially when I have to allow for possible garment shrinkage and/ or Body Mass Index increase in the future.
Why oh why can't the rag trade agree on a standardised sizing policy?
And don't get me started on willy warmer sizes, it's a minefield out there!
What are your experiences?
ETA. I do have further upper body garments* I was only using the above items as examples for illustration purposes.

Are you getting the emblem on a generic fruit of the loom / russel athletic type of garment as often utilised by workwear branding companies?
The polo shirts are possibly bought-in by this company, but neither of those labels apply. I can't remember the label name on the example I saw the other day.Huge choice of colours and excellent quality though.
