I can only imagine that the sleeves of the ones above will be tight on a built guy and while that's fine for some shirts, it's not fine for a short sleeve sweatshirt. The light blue one is something I'd actually buy for myself because it looks fitted and I think it would look good with denim cutoffs.Wrecked Stellarhttp://www.wreckedstellar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-64817085312081915382010-04-05T16:59:17.042-04:002010-04-05T16:59:17.042-04:00Being an older guy who attended college in the ...Being an older guy who attended college in the '60's, it was not unusual to cut off the sleeves of sweats.
