This is epic and perfectly times, I need a new gym tshirt. What's the sizing like?

Oh no, I really want one but I don’t wear women’s t shirts (I buy men’s sizes and cut the sleeves off).

The garbled text setting was quite hard for a human to do, but despite this, he's not getting paid either.

@GrimbutGerbil but did you at least make him a cup of tea?

I'm not usually a woman's t shirt wearer, I nearly always wear mens. But here's my thoughts on the one I've bought that's arrived (I've ordered some others but in different styles so I'll have to wait and see how they compare). The one below is a much more men shaped t shirt. AND generously sized! (Usually if I try on a woman's 18 t shirt I'd feel like I was being vacuumed packed). it's also got a lovely soft feel to it and is boxy in shape rather than fitted like some women's shirts are.

@PuneorPlayonWords The sizing is very generous on the one I've got!

This is definitely a blokey t-shirt! 'Roomy but light'.

It is very soft, I'd order a smaller size next time, and I have mine over a long sleeved top as it is still quick chilly outdoors today. It doesn't feel tight over the long sleeved top in any way. I have sown some carrots wearing it, if that helps make your decision.

I've just measured

64cm/25 inches width

66cm/26 inches length

I keep misreading “merch” as “march” & envisaging some kind of Pied Piper Protest at Aston 🐹

😁

Such fun!

I've just realised the TRAs must get their sign ideas and layouts from AI images!

I'd advise two sizes smaller for the t shirt, it's quite wide

Expecting delivery from postman this week.

I intentionally ordered the largest size to share them among family. I assumed that I'd be able to wear the shirts for general slouching and as a cover-up when transitioning from hotel gym back to room (generous perspiration can make gym clothes a bit clingy and I travel for work regularly).

I'm normally a small or 8/10. Is the largest size likely to fall off my shoulders?

Ah, may have answered my question but I'm pleased that they'll comfortably fit some family members.

You may be using yours as your new nightie!

Delighted with my purchase 😊

You may be using yours as your new nightie!

I'm OK with that! I may even use one as a breakfast outfit as I tend to camp out over breakfast for an hour or so, drinking coffee and reading through material for the day ahead.

When colleagues read the 'addled' logo, they may even decide that discretion is the better part of valour and leave me to my breakfast reading in peace.

@Boiledbeetle you have excelled yourself

the supervisor's page is still up fwiw.........and just to add, this whole thing gets a Distinction star from me. I love the merch, the concept, all of it.

DH is quite keen on the t-shirts, would the biggest size be ok on a 6'1 bloke?

Get your tape measure out and compare him to Boiled's measurements above.

I'd say yes.

Sorry BB, I can only ever hear "Foucault Addled Grievance Gerbils" to the tune of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

🤣

The gerbils can sort him out…. Long or short sleeve and what design and colour?

Thanks for the sizing info. Ordering in the morning.
