This shirt looks great in the model photo but I am guessing they have the shirt he is wearing pulled back to look tapered. I am a true xl at 6'2 225 with an athletic build. The shoulders in the shirt are great, the fabric is cool, even though it's NOT lightweight at all, and the sleeves get so small when they are rolled up to be short sleeve. It is very well put together, and I dare not take it somewhere to get it fitted at $30 which is about $10 less than I paid for the shirt itself and have the stitching not be as good as it came originally.
