Is this size of the polo shirt correct?

[Intern100]

Hi,

I would like to know if this size is okay.
I bought this shirt in an Outlet for only 20 USD, so it was not expensive.
It is size M, I'm 1,84m and approx 78 kg.

Do you think Size S would be better?

Greetings

Perhaps post a better picture showing the full shirt for a better critique.

RLP do not cut particularly slim stuff, so most of their clothing will not flatter a tall or lean person. Sizing up or down wont change anything, it is proportions of the cut that matter.

Thanks for the answers so far.

In Germany it is much more easier to get Slim or Body Fit shirts. Here in the US it is very rare.. especially in the outlet stores.
But I wasn't able to sa no to these shirts, because in Germany I would have to pay 4 times more.

I tried the 'sizing down' experiment on myself' and it instantaneously transformed me into a girly man. Willfully, I said, 'screw it' and bought a few of them anyway. As long as I don't breathe or eat anything I look great.

The fit in your photo, from what we can see, looks fine.

At almost 6' and a 170 lbs you should be a large so this medium must be vanity sized. I'd keep the M. The small will be too tight on the shoulders and chest and possibly too short.

btw, would you do something for me because I'm curious? Measure the shoulder to shoulder seam and the pit to pit seam. Thanks.
The reason I ask is because I can't imagine a 6' guy of normal build wearing anything smaller than a large.I don't know if it's Polo these days or the outlet store goods but there seem to be a lot of variation in the sizes. I've been wearing these Polos since they came out 30 years ago(they were made in the US) and took a large even though I'm your height and weighed a little less. Although I don't wear them anymore I tried one on and it seems that even though I'm a little heavier that the M fit.
