I don’t feel much airflow, but I do notice I’m not sweating throughout the day. For a shirt designed to ease sweaty pits, that’s a good thing.

The Spinnaker line is even stretchier. It genuinely feels like you’re wearing a gym shirt, and I’m supremely impressed by the hand on this thing.

It’s not super-thin like a typical high-end poplin, so the weight is nice guys like me to tend to run cool.

However, the shirt still breathes beautifully.

The Weekend Henley is also nothing short of fantastic. The weight is excellent, and I find myself reaching for it quite a bit as the weather has gotten cooler.

Mizzen+Main Dress Shirt Fit

I’m a Small in most T-shirts and sweaters, and always opt for a slim fit if and when it’s offered. You can check the size guide on the Mizzen+Main site.

My best fit lies in a waist of around 35?, which leaves 3? of tolerance (room) to allow for freedom of movement. That’s a touch slim for even most off-the-rack slim shirts, but not a big deal.

Leeward

The Leeward fabric models, however, are simply too big for me. The shoulder seam sits where it should, but that’s about the extent of it.

The waist is quite full cut and, as you can see, there’s a lot of extra room in the torso.

The arms are billowing out significantly as well. Many of today’s ‘slim fit’ shirts are actually pretty tight across my upper arms, so I’m quite surprised to find it this full.

The neck, at 15.5-16? is also quite loose. Now, I’ve got a thin neck at 14.5-15?, but I’m still surprised Mizzen+Main would have a neck that full for a shirt labelled “Small, Trim.”

Spinnaker

The Spinnaker is a complete 180 on fit in best possible way.

The arms, as you can see, are trim-but not tight. That added stretch allows you move in fantastic comfort.
