These will be Anvil shirts, instead of Gildan, which we are new to using. I would expect them to shrink about 1/2 a size, I find "ringers" to be a little constrictive too (no I am not buff in any way shape or form) which would be another reason to lean toward a bigger size. We sold a Shouse before a Sheets, Gagne, or Gallardo! I am so happy! No offense to Shouse, I didn't think the Brewers would be selling a jersey shirt for him, seems like such a small appeal
