Thinking about buying some Tracksmith stuff... Sizing help needed...

Running Shoes/Running Gear Apparel

The measurements on the website appear a bit odd. Is the stuff all oversized? The new 226 shell claims a 42.5 inch chest for a medium? Seems really big. I wear a 38 inch sport coat and usually get mediums in menswear (sweaters, Patagonia fleeces, etc.). Just seems weird that a running brand would be that much bigger than traditional brands. I feel like I am mistaken.

If I am a guy who wears a medium t-shirt and a 15.5/32 slim-fit dress shirt for the most part, what am I looking at for Tracksmith stuff?

Way over priced, try TJ-Maxx or Marshalls.

the stuff looks nice and I like they are moving away from the oversized logo trends of 2012I would consider but like you, I'd need confirmationI wear M in just about all brand (sometimes S in patagonia loose cut). Is track smith TTS?

Why don't you order and if it's the wrong size send it back? Do they have a no return policy?

Good call, because asking on a running forum is just stupid. Why not go through the three-week process of ordering and returning and ordering and returning until he finds the right size.

I wear a 15.5 slim dress shirt like you. I got a couple shirts on small and that seems right on. 38R suit.

Well, since letsrunners are frugal as all get out despite all making over 250k, it'll probably be the only way he'll get an answer.

Fair point. Stern, but fair.
