Shirt Sizes Make Void Sad.

[Alucard]

I am by no means a hyoooge guy...well except height wise, yeah I'll give ya that.

There was a time (don't laugh) when I could fit into a womens t-shirt, but since the advent of slimfit I can't do it anymore unless I get them extra huge and those are hard to find in stores. So typically whenever (this isn't something that happens too often) I find a girls shirt with a design I zomg must have, I end up biting the bullet and buying it and then finding I just can NOT wear it.

Case in point:
www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028399&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442176885&bmUID=1213588566574

That shirt is smurfing badass. Why it comes in only girl form, I do not know.

Which leads to the next problem.

The actual men's shirts for this series are all nice in their own way, but their mediums and larges...ARE TOO BIG FOR ME, they're seriously like XL's.

WTF shirt company?

[Chainsaw]

Too big?

I got the opposite problem, Void. At least you got options. Most modern shirts are too small for me. Used to be a time when I could buy a XXL shirt and it'd fir like a dream. Now, european cut shirts are the new thing, and half the cool shirts I see in stores fit like a large. Worthless for a big guy like me.

WTF, thin people? W-T-F.

[Alucard]

Yeah. With me it's always either...they're way too small (like this one), or they're way too big.

It's nigh impossible to find a comfortable medium. I either look like a douche wearing a too small t-shirt or I look like I'm wearing someone elses hand me downs o.O

[AFN: Judge Shred]

I have half way between large and XL. Large is too tight, XL is a bit too long.

[Silent Brad]

While were on the topic of shirts. Am I the only person who happens to wear a XL shirt but is not super wide? Because almost ever shirt i have fits me length wise, but when i put my arms up, it looks like i have wings because the shirts are so wide.

[Janitor From Mars]

I hate it when stores think they can charge $2 extra for larger sizes.

Who the f*** do they think they are? Seriously?

[Cucumber Jones:The Walkin Dude]

If I buy a Medium shirt at Foot Locker, it's like I'm wearing a dress.

If I buy a medium shirt at Express, it's like I'm wearing a belly shirt.

Why would you wanna wear a woman's T-shirt?

its more fabric. it makes sense.

[Edison taps to the ARMBAR!]

My t shirts fit just right. My biceps fill out the sleeves, my pecs and shoulders pull it tight across the top. Now if I didn't have a beer gut (that's not from beer though) I would be in heaven. I wear an XL and since I started weightlifting they fit perfect. I love buying shirts that fit!

If it's got something cool on it, why the hell not.

I'm...secure. To say the least.

And the ladyface likes that sort of thing o.O

Let me tell you a story about t shirt hell. See, I have a problem. I am a large man. Now, I would not say I am obese by any stretch, and I am not Patrick Ewing, but being 6'5" and 280 sucks hard when shopping for shirts, and here's why. You have no doubt heard or seen the so called "Big & Tall" stores. However, what they really meant to say was Big OR Tall, cause apparently nobody is both. If I go in to a store and look at a 2x or 3x, it's always 8 feet wide and 2 feet long. Add to this the fact that some jerk off told all these big man stores that large people really wanna look like pro golfers, cause the whole damn place is full of bright, pastel colors. Cause, ya know, being big doesn't attract enough attention, so I wanna wear a bright orange polo shirt and plaid shorts so i can look like the f***ing Unocal 76 ball.
OR! I can go to a standard stores "Big Man" section, which consists of nothing but huge sweat pants, work out clothes and jersey's of players that are no longer on that team. As much as I would LOVE to sport a Darius Miles clippers jersey with some track pants, I think I'll pass, cause if I was playing basket ball and running track, I'd be shopping in the f***ing regular people section f***O!
As for the OP, you're shopping at hot topic, which is half way to being a girl anyway, so just buy the damn girls shirt. While you're at it get some fishnets.It's the next logical step.

Hell, if I wasn't so fat and flabby, I would wear that shirt too.

Nah. I don't like tight underthings.

The shirts that I always wear besides my Tigers jersey t-shirts (t-shirts with a player's name and number on the back, cheaper than regular jerseys and look really cool) are from Hot Topic. My favorites are my Maiden Number of the Beast, my GNR that looks like it's straight outta the late 80s, and my sweet one that says 'SUPPORT OUR TROOPS' and shows a bunch of Storm Troopers.

[Smokey McTrees]

Dude, when you have to special order just about everything you wear at a much higher price then everybody else, we'll talk.

[-Lithium-]

Even though Im really skinny I wear 2XL cause its alot more comfortable and I think it looks cooler...

[Loki]

Since many brands have introduced "anorexic sizes", buying a fitting T-shirt has become quite a task, even for a regular guy like me.

It's odd, when I was bigger, I just bought XL by default, and I wase sure it fitted like a glove.

Now it varies from S to L, and it makes no f'n sense... M should be my size, but some brands decided that being pathologically skinny is "cool", and unless you're 120lbs soaked wet, you won't fit in a medium.
Other brands use American sizes, and Ms (if available) are too big.
