Ok, so I got myself some babo t-shirts (the Koreans at my school were quite amused by them)

but I'm finding the Korean 2XL size is tight across chest/shoulders and upper back. It's more of a muscle shirt feel, which I hate.. as I hate tight clothes.

distinctly feels like many American "large" sizes... which means they're TWO full sizes off from "American".

anyways - strongly considering switching again to a 3XL - anyone have both of these sizes and is there a marked difference and if so, to what extent?

the contact at babo worries that 3XL would be "too" big for me.

also - do you think the shirts will stretch/ grow a bit roomier with some use/wear?

They seem to cater to the stereotypical tiny petite sized Asian person, but fact is, most are plenty filled out with many L to XL to XXL sized people. Big sizes are hard to come by in the proper diminsions. I'm a 36 inch waist in Western pants, but a snug 38 inch in Korean pants. I'm a Korean XL or 105 in shirt, but L in Western shirt.

It's tough to get good clothing. I'd return the shirts if possible and go with something else.
