    To place an order for YF shirts, I need to get an idea of the various sizes our members wear.

    Bear in mind that a screw driven in by a hammer holds much better then a nail twisted in by a screwdriver... eh, I mean, it's much easier to fit X shirt on an M person then S one on the same ;)))

    I'm hoping these are US sizes and not European, I put Medium.

    I've just broken the 140lb barrier, so am classed as a lard-gut by my mates. :D

    I discussed sizes with a customer service rep. She asked about YF's demographic, letting me know that European's are generally smaller in stature compared to Americans, therefore all international shirts will include an order of McDonald's Fries.

    The YF Polo shirt I had was Extra Large (USA) and just about right for my 42" buff (I wish) pecs, so I'm assuming the same will apply with the T's?

    Oh, and hold the fries. Pints of good old English Bitter do the same thing!

    The new T-shirts are a different manufacturer then the YF polo shirts I shipped a few years ago, so I can't predict the fit. I can tell you this; I have two t-shirts from this manufacturer that I've been wearing to the gym once a week for about 4 years and they are not showing any sign of deterioration.

    The brand is Gildan and the model is "Ultra Cotton". I'm told they are among the highest quality t-shirts you can buy and I'm paying a premium for them. To give you an example of size/fit... I'm around 6'2", 205 lbs. and I'm in pretty good shape from regular weight training. The Gildan XL, washed dozens of times, fits me very comfortably.

    This poll is to get an approximation of the of sizes we'll need. When it comes time to ship, I'll get your shirt size and shipping address.

    For all my life for everything but suits (where accurate fit matters) I've been going to the biggest size available and very rarely went wrong ;) (I'm... somewhat like "the russian bear" you would imagine.)

    Besides, with this broken knee surgery and hence 2 month in bed (and likewise if not more yet to come), not in my best shape waist-wise presently :/

    With all the polos and t-shirts I've ever dealt with, from paintball'ish to corporate branded, seen like 2 or 3 times when it was "too big" yet uncountable instances of "too small to fit" - hence the warning above.

    Carl, please count me as an normal member so that I can pay the shipping costs on my own because I think it is not appropriate particulary when you consider my past!

    Milow (Justin),

    The past is the past. We all learn and grow. Just yesterday, I learned from you. Turns out I couldn't identify a Burger bow, even when I've been onboard Howard's boat! That nugget on top of my shoulders hardly amounts to an Ingot sometimes. All puns intended. ;)

    Your shirt and shipping is free. So is your JetForums t-shirt. :)

    Thanks Carl & Co. that you gave me another chance! :)But if there are too many oders do not hesitate to let pay me it as it will be expensive enough even without me...
    BTW Justin is a nice name but I prefer Justus ;)

    Oops. I knew that! Keep in mind, I'm like a Commodore 64 trying to keep up with Pentium demands.

    Glad my size is the majority!

    I agree with Judy regarding female cuts.

    Best of luck.

    Cheers,
    Alf

    Would part take of your poll; but my size is not listed.

    Would you be offended if I used a magic marker to copy the YF design and wording on several plain Polo style shirts that fit me?

    OP,

    Part of this poll was to determine if we needed Triple-XL's. If we do, I can order a few. I'm not ordering any polo shirts. They would be embroidered. These are simply T's that are screen printed.

    Thanks for the feedback. I've gotcha covered!

    Well I've been absent quite a bit, but perhaps it's time to go spam some forums...

    Hiya Carl,
    I voted XL assuming it will accommodate my spare tire (full snow tread). Thanks
