Joe, mens shirts are larger allover. The sleeve tends to be longer, the body is quite a bit longer, and yes it is more generous through the chest, no tapering at the waist. Fits more like a gunney sack. :)
As far as substituting for a small mans (which tends to be quite a long, narrow shirt) I personally wear the youth large (14/16) in cotton if I can't get a womans small shirt. Keep in mind their are 2 different types of womans shirts. The fitted ones that the teenagers like. Tight to the body and normally shows your belly button. And the ladies cut which is somewhere in between the mans and the fitted. (Speaking of youth shirts- what's the deal with Gildan. Anyone know why their youth shirts run a size larger than FOL and everyone else?)
