Different brands have different sizing. European stuff like Giordana
tends to run very small. Pearl Izumi runs somewhat on the small side.
Canari runs large.
I have some "XL" Giordana jerseys that fit tighter than "Medium"
jerseys from Performance/Nashbar.
Some other buzz words are "club fit" (roomy) and "pro fit" (tight).
