RAWscore - the hit or miss fit and combo space

The large fits trim but is a bit tight right around the top of my pectoral when I button:
The XL fits a bit large, but buttons without issue…
The recommendation was to size up on these when they came out as they were made to normal western dims, but the lining made them fit smaller. I took an XXL which I still use, but could have gotten into an XL.
In your case I would say the L is a shirt fit, the XL a shacket fit. Looks like you could layer under the XL. They both work in their way.
Go with the one you’ll use more?

Thanks, you two!
I do remember reading that the recommendation was to size up on these, so the XL would fall into that category. I don't know if I could go so far as to layer under the XL…maybe a light flannel or denim shirt, but it's definitely roomier.
I just want to make sure that it looks like I'm wearing the XL instead of the XL wearing me, know what I mean?
If y'all don't think that the XL looks too big, I'll stick with it. -
I absolutely LOVE laying a hoodie under these, so the XL has my vote.

I think large looks too tight across the chest. [emoji2368]

I can see it is a little trim there, but I think the XL looks too big without something under it.

Looking for advice on this North Sea Clothing Brig 2 cardigan. The quality is great and I think I like it but am not sure about the ribbed waist and how tight the neck is. Used to cardigans that when open have a straight gap down the middle if that makes sense, whereas here the neck is tight and waist loose. It is a function of the design and perhaps a good thing?

I think it looks good. I never button all the buttons of Cardis or Vests tho.. I usually leave the top and bottom buttons undone - that might alleviate your issue!

Neck looks fine. Sleeves look a bit long. The bunching around the waist looks sloppy when buttoned. Looks pretty good when unbuttoned.

@Nkwkfld I dig it

Thanks all!
Agreed [mention]DrPat [/mention] about sleeves and waist when buttoned.
I appreciate everyone’s comments and am trying to find something with a kind of easy messy look but this is not the one. Can’t say it immediately works like some recent IH purchases so this has now been sent back

@Nkwkfld I think it's a cool look. That said, if you're looking for a shawl and this one didn't quite pass muster, have you seen the Dehen 1920 shawls? I think they look great!

Prob i have with the dehens is they’re so damn heavy they are really more of outerwear.
