    My Louis Garneau and Castelli jerseys run small. I have 'my size' in both and they are really snug. Shebeest fits really normal as someone mentioned above. I got my regular size and it fits perfect, not too tight, not too loose.

    This is interesting, goes to show we're all different. Websites all tend to say Castelli runs small -- I even had a website send me an email advising me that it ran small and requiring a confirmation on size before they'd process the order -- but for me, it really doesn't. I'm a small in Shebeest, a small in Sugoi, a small in PI, a small in Terry (bottoms, anyway, haven't tried their tops yet), and a small in Castelli -- both tops and shorts. Castelli really doesn't even seem drastically trimmer in cut to me. This may be because I have no breasts (well, practically ), but I really don't find it to run small. Castelli fits me much better than Shebeest, which is shortwaisted in bottoms and short torso'd in tops for my body (Shebeest jerseys show my belly -- eek!).

    LG sizing seems a little uneven to me -- sometimes it runs small for me and other times not, with no real pattern (ie, it's not just tops or just bottoms that are off).

    Zoot, also, tends to fit like other brands to me, although the size charts would indicate I'd wear a much larger size.

    Go figure! I'm always afraid of ordering athletic clothing online (but do it anyway for some reason...).

    I too lack in the bust department. The issue is usually in the arms. Maybe my guns are just that big ORrrrr more likely I'm packing a little extra fuel under my arms.

    Boy, I wish I'd checked this thread first before ordering a Primal Wear jersey. Going off their size chart, a small should fit me just fine, but it's so tight I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get it off. I'm even afraid a medium will be too small. Grrrrrrr.

    On the brighter note, I like the jersey itself.

    I have several Primal jerseys and I've learned they run small. My suggestion would be to order the next size up on the chart - regardless of what chart says you need.
