Skyline Skjorte Langermet Herre

I'm 190cm (6ft 3) tall and a sturdy benchpressing 105kg (230lbs). According to the sizing chart, I'm *exactly* an XL for chest (most important fit for a shirt), an L for arm length and between L and XL for waist. I do frequent the gym and lift quite substantial weights, but like most 40+ men I have some belly as well I'm too wide over the chest to fit in large, but armlength and hemlength of the XL is a bit too long. This isn't really the case with outer layers (I also have Cerium LT and Proton LT, both in XL), or at least not as noticeable, but on this shirt it really shows. I think the problem is that Arc'teryx ups measurements as if XL was proportionately larger than L in every dimension, when the more common case is that arms and height is roughly the same, shoulder width is a few cm larger and chest circumference is quite drastically larger. Because the shoulder width doesn't increase as drastically as the chest circumference when one bulks up (and height obviously doesn't change at all), the shirt shoulders end up a tiny bit wide and the arms and hem end up a little too long, or one has to size down and risk unsnapping the buttons when moving. For reference the space between the top two buttons only slightly "bend apart" but without any real pressure when I put my hands behind my back. This is the test I normally use to make sure a shirt has enough chest room for me not to lose buttons when I sit down and pull my chair in. There are more guys between 185 and 195cm that have the same bodyshape as me than there are guys 2m tall and slim-ish, so I would really like to see arc'teryx change how they do proportions when sizing up. As a sidenote, I think people with wide chest and shoulders would prefer a shirt that's a teensy bit tight (within reason, ofcourse) than one that hangs a little too loose.

Just wanted to add to the sentiment that I don't like the new zipper. I have two of the previous version and was going to buy a couple more. Guess I'll hold off and hope that the old style pocket comes back someday or just find other shirts. The previous version looked so much better. Bummer...

Best shirt ever, I purchase it every year when color fits my palette. But with zipper, no I will not. Please, bring it like before.
