A large really is for a large. Not for a big-medium like myself. The waist of the shirt hangs loose and isn't form fitting, but it's ok since I sit most of the time so no one really notices. The hook and loop patches aren't double stitched to the shirt, but are well made and perfectly sized for my X-Men logo. Not sure if we'll fashion the entire X-Men with these, probably just the Gold Team for now.
