. You will also notice the materials (they use different materials for different areas) they used are very different from your normal jerseys.

I have a Mellow Johnny's bike shop jersey. It is made by Giordana. It was a Euro fit XL. It fits really snug.
Then I have my company's bike jersey made by Atac (https://www.bikeatac.com/ordering/sizing.htm) with Pro fit XXL. Again, it fits quite snug.
So from my personal exp, Pro-fit runs smaller than Euro-fit.
My chest is 42.

. In my opinion of course.
. It's not like a 40 year old guy is going to say something to me while riding.

They weren't a size smaller, they were designed to be aero, so they fit very snug in all the loose places, e.g. armpits and sleeves (like the Under Armour you mentioned. You will also notice the materials (they use different materials for different areas) they used are very different from your normal jerseys.

My theory: club fit jerseys account for belly size (and some height variables too), while race fit jerseys account for height (none of them racers have bellies).
