Per the many reviews recommending buying one size larger than usual, I did so but was disappointed that it was too big.  Granted I tend to be on the small end of XL, the XXL was toooo large.  I will go with an XL next time which is my usual t-shirt size.  My father had an XXL that he bought of the same pattern and it too was too big.  So I would temper all those reviews that recommend buying one size larger.  Otherwise the shirt is wonderful in every other way--minimal if any fading, material is fine quality as well.
