IMPROVED SIZES.
Theses are the same correct fabric and design as the previous runs but we have improved the sizing of this 2020 production. After customer feed back we have made some changes to the sizing, in particular we have have made the neck to shoulder seams larger and made the chest slightly smaller and the sleeve and body length a little shorter on the larger sizes. The shape of the body is more fitted (comes in more at the waist) so it less of a straight cut. All these changes some subtle have improved the fit.
These changes were due to customer feedback so thank you for getting in touch and helping us to improve.
