OT. Yes, two possible problems with ordering from China:

1st is getting proper sizing. Some of the stuff is cheap enough that I have experimented figuring that if too big or too small, I'll donate to charity. I'm about 5'9", having shrunk about an inch so far -g- in my old age. At about 153 lbs I generally buy Chinese XXL, which works. For my size 11 US shoe, I'm a 45 in Chinese. Chinese 45's are not consistent though from manufacturer to manufacturer.

2. It is possible to return merchandise, they say. I just feel it's going to be a hassle, so on rare occasions when I'm not happy with the product, it goes to charity or trash.

Duluth Trading knows how to size American clothes. I've ended up giving most of my Amazon order shirts to my children too. Chinese think Americans are all Asians. Don't know how to size linens either. I order American made now. A little more expensive ,but out last anything coming out of China.
