I'm about to buy a pair of Bianchi branded shorts from ProBike Kit. I've used PBK before but I've never bought any Bianchi clothing before. I know that Castelli and Italian clothing in general tends to be quite neat, to say the least. Anyone any experience of Bianchi clothing and found they had to go up a size or two? Would appreciate any thoughts before I go ahead and order. Cheers.

    I have 42" chest and generally have to buy xxl in cycling shirts for a comfortable fit.
    I have a Bianchi long sleeved yellow jersey ( purchased from PBK) and still available.
    Went for XL in this and it fits ok.
    Generally I would think that you have to go +1 size and maybe +2 to be on safe side.
    Order 2 sizes and send back the one that doesnt fit.

    Thanks for the reply. I've opted to play safe and just order L and XL and I'll just send one of them back. The shorts are made by Nalini so I'm guessing they will be 'snug' to say the least.
