Sizing is always a crapshoot to review. Not only do people have different body builds...but people have grossly different ideas of what proper fit is or should be. Most amateurs I meet on fun rides want technical cycling garb like jerseys to fit like burlap bags or t-shirts.
I won a free jersey on a ride, which was a medium. All my mates laughed thinking it was way too small for me as it was a "medium" (I'm 175# and 5'11" but broad shouldered)....well funny funny, it fits like a jersey should--perfectly. ...not like a bath robe or t-shirt. I've found various Chinese cheap jerseys tend to fit close to right-darn close to what Pearl Izumi cuts. Body hugging and relatively short up front (when standing) and not too long in back either. Shove stuff in pockets and the stuff stays up and off your butt (not drooping and bouncing behind your but like truck-nutz), up front you don't get the folded over mess of overlong jeresys when hunched in the drops.
