Usually that's the way it is for me also....

I usually wear an XL. I tried on a north face at PVG, "American" size and was still XL. Only thing is, I don't know if it's the parka for FedEx.

Anybody know what "series" north face it is? I'll get it if I can pay less than $20. If I have to pay two years' uniform expense, then no way. The company needs to wake up and realizes it's 2008.
