Question to anybody w/ Backspacer T-Shirt in their Posession

My question is how the size runs. Different brands call their shirts Small/Medium/Large. But a "Large" can be different sizes for different brands. I found the blue Avocado tour shirt to feel like a medium although it was labeled as being Large. I'm looking for feedback on this from those of you who have purchased the shirt and have it in your posession. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    XL is pretty close to a normal L

    I generally wear MED - but I had to get the L, and even that is a tad smaller than most MED


    The material is soooo soft on these, i think they are supposed to be body hugger shirts.

    Get a size up for sure! They do run small.

    True they run small. Exchanged my L for XL

    Oh crap! That Target link only has M and L so I got a Large. The Large Avocado Tour shirt was the smallest large I've ever seen. I don't have time to play Musical-Target so I ordered online. Hopefully not a mistake. Is it the same sizing as a tour shirt?

    I think they are meant to be that way; or, at least that is the way all of them looked like when they came out of the box.
    It's easy to grin, When your ship comes in, And you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, When his shorts are too tight in the seat
