i guess it depends on your build... most companies for anything really dont lengthen more than an inch or so as you bump up to xl, just get wider in a sense. so if youre skinny like me, a 2x is going to have the sag look, which i and most people are cool with. but if thats not the case and/or youre not of a bigger build at least in the shoulders then id stay stick with different fits or xl
