Women's Essential Short-Sleeve Scoopneck T-Shirt

I have been wearing White Stag for many years. In the last few years they have had several problems with the neck, no give in the sleeve, etc. Now it appears they have solved these problems. The quality of the fabric is good, stretches easily, plenty of give in the sleeve where it is sewn. The only thing I don't understand is that the size is now approximately 1/2 size smaller. I am buying an xlarge instead of a large. This fits like my old large shirts do. The newer xlarge is longer and I like that a lot even though I am a petite, 5'1". They did not shrink in the dryer and didn't require ironing even though I always do. They wash better inside out so there is no pilling if they last as long as my other White Stag Tshirts have. I have some that must be close to 10 years old. They don't seem to ever wear out. I am getting ride of those with the tight sewing in the sleeve and the peculiar curly necks. I love these Tee shirts.
