I think it should have slightly longer torso fabric. The sleeve design is outstanding.

not impressed
Weight: 160-170 lbs
Height: 5'9"
Size Purchased: Large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
This shirt shrunk a bunch and after only 2 washings (never worn) on gentle cycle it already has holes in it. If merino wool can't be made to be durable enough to survive 2 washing

Warm, but too short
The shirt is plenty warm, and the sleeve length is good, but body length is short, and gets MUCH shorter if you wash it (following label instructions). Was going to try a larger s

Comfortable, warm...but oddly proportioned
These are a warm, comfortable base layer. The sleeves, however, are a little too long (I wear a 36in sleeve in a dress shirt) and the tails are too short. I am 6ft3in and I usual

nice material, too short
nice material, but too short and doesn't remain tucked in to the pants. For a wool shirt meant for fall/winter, it needs to stay tucked in.

Way too short
Weight: 190-200 lbs
Height: 6'0"
For the price you pay for this, it is way too flimsy, not as soft as other merino shirts, and way too short. I have not washed it yet as I know it will not fit at all after that.

As a base layer, the Cresta Ultralight Top is designed to be both lightweight and not bulky, hence the shorter length.
