Is it me or does Tommy Bahama sizes run really big?

What does that mean? Are you talking about sizing based on eating pigs cooked buried in the ground all your life?

I am as they say in Hawaii, a Big Moke. Until a stint of WonTon eating I was good with a large, BTW I WAS "6'3" 230ish. But now I am pushing into the XL.

But be aware I just bought a couple more TB's a couple of weekends ago while in Vegas for the pure reason of making them CCW shirts and I went with XL's and I must say they "might" be cutting back on the extra fabric these days.

Or heck it could be just me! Either way try them on first. You might be surprised one way or the other. This is coming from a someone with about 15 to 20 TBs in the closet.

Have you tried one of your older TB's, you just might be geting fatter. All mine are the same size. I have about 15 of them

Oh yes I 100% agree, all of mine are for sure larger than expected. I have told people for years to buy at least a size smaller than you expect to wear. I love them too! CCWI, you not only have great taste in guns, but shirts as well!!

But watch your new purchases. I have noticed my last few are running smaller than usual and yes I am getting fatter LOLOL but I am comparing the new ones to the old ones. Not to my growing belly!

Also I have had trouble finding any that have the Relax designation on them anymore. Maybe you have a good online source? For CCW they are perfect.

BTW I blame the "new if true" small sizing on the damn Europeans!!!! Have you ever tried to fit into a true Italian designer shirt??? LOL Forget it!!!

Well I use a tuckable Split Decision holster from highnoonholsters.com that works well. The only thing you see is the belt clip as it allows you to tuck your shirt in to cover it and I carry a full size Ruger 45 auto. It keeps the pistol high enough to allow you to sit down without discomfort and it is pretty thin so you don't really notice it aside from the weight of the gun istself. Cost me $41 total.

I prefer to be one of the first two kind and to learn from others' mistakes.
