Does Nike apparel sizing differ between U.S and E.U markets ??

This question is for people who've bought Nike apparel from both the U.S and E.U marketplaces. Do you think Nike's garments differ in sizing and fit despite the labels indicating the same size? e.g, is the Nike polo shirt, sz Large that you bought from a U.S retailer, a larger/looser fit than the same size Large polo you bought from an authorised Nike stockist based in Europe ? Are there continental differences in sizing?

I noticed my Nike Europe polos are a smaller fit than my U.S retailer Nike polos, despite them being labelled the same size and all coming from the same Vietnamese and Chinese factories. My Nike Europe garments in general feature the inside label that indicates Nike Europe etc

My EU polos have the inside label that says Nike Europe, Hilversum Netherlands etc. I don't doubt they're genuine products but it is odd that identically labelled garments should be differently sized because one is a Nike Europe SKU and the other is a North American SKU. Maybe its a concession to fatter, sorry, bigger, American physiques.

Moral of the story is if I find a Nike staple product I like, like a polo shirt, beware where it's coming from retail-wise as there may subtle differences in fit and sizing. It's a shame coz it was my previous experience that Nike's apparel sizing is reliably consistent.

When I purchase performance shirts (Fed or Nadal), the fit of the size medium has been very consistant. But like all cotton, or hybrid (cotton/poly) shirts, it was hit or miss. I would have to try them on.

I feel the same way. Performance clothes are consistent. But Rafa and Fed t-shirts tend to vary with each installment.
