Weird t-shirt issue
 
Hard to describe this but I’ll try. Last year I bought a couple John Prine T-shirts off his website. Very nice. But tried them on and immediately notice it felt like my shoulders were being pulled back, or my neck too forward or something. Today my wife gave me a Powell & Peralta (skateboard) t-shirt and I just tried it on and it’s the same problem


Has anyone else noticed their t-shirts fitting oddly last few years?

Maybe they accidently sent you a women's fit t-shirt.

I've notice a XL is too small now for some reason.

Wasn’t someone here in the t-shirt business or did I imagine that?

The logo or label is put on the back???

My wife told me that more manufacturers are making “non-binary” clothes. A clerk at Old Navy told her that.

Actually the best way to describe this is that the new t-shirts feel like i have it on backwards…but I don’t

Shaun @ Tru6 made T-shirts I think..

A moderately well know midwestern catalog/online joint, some time back got sucked up into the KMart/Sears portfolio and they used to be my rock-steady go-to. Small tees, 15-1/2"x33 oxfords. Since the Sears disaster they've continued a downhill slide in my opinion. More than a few tees have suffered one try-on after washing and a short trip to the rag box.

Now it's better and fewer. I have >15yo Banana Republic tees that are still going strong, even if they too are slipping.

Two things I hate about new T-shirts...

1. The neck ring is too large...making the shirt fit terrible when on.

2. The length of the shirt is way too long. I'm 5'9" and don't want them to cover my azz.

I think you do. But there's only one way to find out.

^ Steve, You're buying your shirts too big. I used to wear X large Tee's, now I wear medium.

(I'm 6'2", 180)

Want to know why the shirts are so long? To hide most men's belly's which protruding like an apple shape VS women who are generally pear shaped.

stevej37 06-22-2023 05:23 PM

I bought an Adidas t-shirt in med size the other day. It feels like a night-shirt when on.
It's at least 5 inches too long.
I'm 5'9" and 150lbs.

I am Adonis.
Send me your t-shirt and I will decide if it is worthy to even try on!!!!:D

Nope. Tried all these on backwards to test the theory that maybe the label was on wrong side. Putting them on backwards was much much worse

Maybe this is the answer

Tomorrow I’ll check to see who manufactured the t-shirts

Very disappointing, I read “wet T-shirt issue”. I demand compensation.

Seahawk 06-23-2023 02:59 AM

Dear Abby, Dear Abby
You won’t believe this
My T-Shirts make noises and
They fit like schit…

:o

herr_oberst 06-23-2023 04:24 AM

^ Heh heh.


If dreams were thunder
And lightnin' was desire
This new shirt wouldn't chafe me
Like a long time ago
