Sorry to hear that Curra, we'll raise a glass or 20 in your and the other absentee members' honor.

two weeks till the road trip begins!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait, flight leaves at 5:40pm and arrives in London 1:45pm after a stop in Paris. Oh wait, you meant CanJam. Yeah, have fun with that.

^^^ Mike, man up and order a T-shirt. We'll pick it up for you, and carry it around with us so it gets beer, whisk(e)y and food spilled on it, and, if you're really lucky, barfed on by some noob trying to keep up with the vets. Al, jp, Nate and many others will be happy to help in this endeavor to see that at least you have a shirt that has been to CanJam.

Ha keep assuming you can land in London. Volcanic ash FTW.

I will consider a t shirt even though I have 4 from last year that I rarely wear. However, the thought of it being carried around with you guys and barfed on, may be enough to get me off the fence.

Trip is insured and alternatives in the event of volcanic ash, far from Chicago, are in place.

Not so much if it keeps me stranded here...

Are people generally getting one size larger than they would normally get? For some reason the images of the pics make it seem like I should order one size larger (XL?).

I did. I normally wear a large, but the funky sizing of these shirts make it tighter than I would prefer (based on the shirt from CJ'09, from the same supplier).

Yeah that would seriously suck.

So... do you have any 5XL then?

Yeah that would seriously suck.

Yeah, but I'd get rather furious and try to put out that damn volcano...

Thanks, I think I'll also order an XL. After all, it's better to wear a baggy long shirt than one that's tight and short.

And Birgir, you must come to CJ! Curse you, volcano I still can't spell or pronounce!

As I listed in the sales thread, 4XL is going to be Hanes Beefy-T rather than American Apparel, since AA only offers up to 3XL. So the shrinkage issues are less of an issue with Hanes, but Hanes is a thicker material, and not quite as nice as American Apparel.

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification Ed.

So then, shouldn't you be getting on that boat pretty soon?

i think the large fits spot on and quite similar to my ck tees. i could also easily get way with wearing an xl, but there is just this loose extra fabric around my gut. now the large isn't tight, but just more fitted.

So then, shouldn't you be getting on that boat pretty soon?

There is no rush...

Does the sizing match last year's shirts, or are these expected to shrink more than last year's?

I never do well at this size compensation thing.

the cut seems unchanged from last year and the normal minimal shrinkage after a wash should be about the same too.

Maybe mine just shrunk more than yours, Dave.

anything is possible... need we discuss that is it advisable to read the label and follow the washing instructions?

Or avoid consuming excess calories post purchase?

I resemble that remark.

This is too weird. since my last post, I got a call from my wife who said that the LOL t-shirt of the day today was her design, new customer, etc. I figure, OK, I'll grab one. I look and ......

"Sizes fit snug", it says.

Sheesh!

How hard would it be to make standard sizes, like large= 15 1/2 / 34 or whatever?

I noticed the Asphalt color shrunk a lot more than the others. My wife was telling me it's because of how they get that color that way.

Also, I don't put my tees in the drier, hang dry only. Keeps them from shrinking and reduces further wear and abuse other than what the washer does already.
