I own "regular" and "loose" fit UA shirts..How does this compare for looseness?

Hello,When I bought this I weighted around 240lbs (I'm about 5'11). At that time it fit as a regular would. Close to the skin but no where near a compression feel. As I lost weight (35lbs) it now fits loosely. If you pick the size you normally wear (a large for me before I lost weight) it should fit as a regular would. Hope this helps.

My husband likes things clingy so he is happy. It doesn't wrinkle in luggage either.

The new loose fit t-shirts I bought have a softer, less slick or satiny feel about them. Now they have a texture like extremely soft cotton.

One inch can be a significant difference in clothing; however, if that is the only difference, I would seriously consider purchasing this. Ask yourself this: how tight do you want your clothing? If you can guarantee your measurements will never change and you want it skin-tight then do not make the purchase because you will be seriously disappointed but if you are like the rest of the world, I would buy it.

I would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

I wear large underwear of any style. I've bought several LARGE pairs of compression shorts from UA and they fit fine, tight, hence "compression" so if you don't want them tight-tight order a size up, otherwise just order your normal size.

Depends on how you want it to fit its a compression shirt i personally use it for working out If you want loose fit go one size up from what you wear.

I also wear a 1X top. I have a 1X Tommie Copper. It is meant to be a compression style fit, so it is tight. More like a spanx type fit than a T-shirt fit. It is comfortable. I wear mine underneath other shirts.

I ordered the same size as the shirts I normally wear, and it was rather tight and was longer than normal shirts. i would recommend your normal shirt size, not larger.

I'm 5'11", 145lbs. I'm skinny, but "nerd" skinny, not "rock-band-drummer" skinny. The medium fits great. It's skin tight and definitely compresses a little. I work outdoors in the summer in a full suit very frequently, and these fit tight enough that they don't bulk up my dress shirt and vest, which I really like. I also have medium in the normal (non-compression) UA Heat Gear V-Neck. Compared to the compression version, the standard version has a lot more "slop" in it, and hangs on me more like a regular T-Shirt. Both products are quality, but in terms of fit the normal ones bulk-up under my slim fitting suit, which I don't want. I'm 5'11", 145lbs.

True to sized. My husband wears a medium in all ua shirts. He has a bunch of cotton charged, a few of the other and polos too & all are med. In other brand shirts, he is a med or large( if cut small). . His med cotton charged fit well.

I do Karate here so its the same... keep it short - NO. It won't keep you cool. Sorry to say, it feels good on your skin, it won't feel so good under such a heavy garment... Plus, it will ruin this shirt... Live with your sweat, make peace with it, love it :) No need for anything under your gi. If you do want something, get a sleeveless top, but this this, its not as tight as one expected. Its good for jogging out showing off your body. If you want to keep 10 degrees cooler take some ice cubes. or spray yourself with that ice cold spray for injuries. If you want to wick sweat better, look for outdoor/hiking tops, they tend to wick much better than UA. I also tried Columbia's COOL ZERO or whatever its called, wasn't tight enough. Go to the shop before you order online, you will get the feeling yourself... Hope it helps. Again, this is one awesome shirt to wear without anything above it. I forgot to mention - AVOID COTTON! Unless you want to be weight down by all your sweat which might make you feel a bit cooler - since you're wet.

Here's a little more info to help you make a decision. My husband is the same sleeve but a 15, sometimes 15 1/2 in the neck. I ordered him a medium in the short sleeve style for Christmas and it was really big. It was so big I almost returned it but since I picked it up cheap on a Lightning Deal I decided to keep it and trying washing it. It's polyester though, so it didn't really help. These shirts are standard wear in our neck of the woods (or should I say water?) ;-). They are not meant to be fitted but they shouldn't be too billowy either. The medium on my husband (who could stand to loose a few) definitely bordered on too billowy. They are very(very) wide and run big through the shoulders. The shoulder seam actually came down about and inch or two into his upper arm. For what its worth, I am going to try a small this time around and hope for a better fit.

The neck of the shirt fits firmly: not loose, but not a choke-hold either. Hope this helps.

I'm 6'1'' 175 lbs, normally wear size large t-shirts, I ordered a large and the shirt is slightly loose uniformly both in the torso and arms. Personally, I like the fit, I've had it for 1-year and have no issues in terms of performance. Hope this helps.

This item is a loose fit garment - I am 6'1" 225 - the XL fits loosely if I'm wearing only a tee shirt under - I also own / wear a 2XL over bulkier (golf / polo) shirts and it fits loosely - What will you wear under? I suggest that you go with 2XL if you'll only wear a Tee shirt under..

It comes down to this: What do you normally wear? Think of it like this: If you were going to Walmart to buy a Tshirt-style undershirt to wear under your clothes-a good quality shirt, not some flimsy thing-what size would you buy if you like a snug fit? That's what you want in this. I'm a big guy; I'd normally wear a 3x, but I got a 2x in this, and it works great. If you're talking a full-sized 1911, it is going to be heavy, so you need all the hold you can get. Definitely go for the larger holster! I hope that helps.
