Silly little question - just bought a Fox cycling shirt (polyester) from BuyCycle, which is my usual size but in a more "traditional" cycling shirt cut, and it's long enough, but mega tight - my question (since I'm used to wearing looser fitting kit) - which may seem like a silly question - does polyester stretch a bit after a few rides? Would like to avoid the hassle of sending it back...

Nope
No stretch

Didn't think so - would make it a pretty useless fabric for cycling kit if it did 
Maybe I just need to get used to the fit. And start wearing lycra shorts. And shaving my legs....

I always upsize Fox, except for the long sleeved shirts...

Good luck trying to pull that off on an DH/AM bike...
Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

I love their sizing! Buying most locally made kit in a small still means baggy for me. My Fox jersey fits like a glove

I am normally between L & XL, but bought a Giant short sleever XXL....feel like Hulk trying to get out of a shirt...next time XXXL
The point, if it is too tight now & you can take it back, do it & get a bigger size, as they don't come cheap!
