Yea, so i order online to save money, and im looking to buy 2 shirts, one nike 6.0 icon (just the logo) shirt and a Columbus Blue Jackets shirt from the Reebok Fan Gear Line.

Now usually for generic streetwear companies i rock XL (caked out is big, dope couture, stusssy) and im comfortable in that. But as im walking around sportchek and trying on some of the other team gear they have, it seems significantly wider and im floating in it. I cant find the exact models to try on for comparison tho. So if anyone has experience with these 2 shirts, what do you reccomend for a 6'0", 160 lbs, with my ideal streetwear shirt being a large jiberish.

the reebok one says it the pro fit, which means fuck all to me unless it fits huge..

SPARKSNOTES : If you own a Nike 6.0, Or Reebok Authentic Sports Apparel T-shirt, please share your size, height, and weight.

The real question here is why you would want a Blue Jackets shirt.

I'm wearing a medium 6.0 shirt right now, and I'm 5'8", 130 lbs, it fits pretty much perfectly.

I'm 5"10 and 125-140 ish and the large is too small on me... T-shirts are way too wide these day, fucking western culture ruining it for the skinny and fit people. Most companies need to add an inch onto their t-shirts.

I have an authentic Nike 6.0 shirt XL. After washing it probably shrunk down to somewhere between L and XL. It's not very wide though. By the way I'm 5' 7''

i got the 6.0 shirt you speak of and its super short.  im 5'10" and a large goes to about an inch below my waist.  youd think an action sports related company like 6.0 would have a taller fit but i guess not
