    are these very thin when felt? or are a thick cotton>
  • Don't usually like to wear t-shirts with writing/design on them as it seems to give people an excuse to stare at my boobs :rolleyes: but these look like so much fun that I have ordered 3 (Communist Party, Everybody loves a Yeti, and In Case of Zombies) - had to take a blind stab as regards size as it's my first order with them - am a size 18 but like my t-shirts to be fairly close to my body so i went for men XL - hope I don't have to send them back. Cost inc shipping came to $42.46 (I live in Hertfordshire).

    Received my t-shirts yesterday (only 2 weeks after I ordered) and am happy with quality but not so sure about my choice of sizing. As I said before, I am a size 18 with generous bust (ie G cup). One of the T-shirts is Girlies X-large and is a bit too tight on me, ideally I'd need to lose a size or two to feel comfortable wearing it. The other two are Guys X-large and they are just a tad too baggy and shapeless, and also a bit too long. However I am not going to return them as I can't be bothered and they were so cheap anyway - at least now I know what size to go for (probably Guys Large).

    I've become addicted to the Threadless site since I ordered these, I now go on there every day to place my vote on all the submissions. Clearly I can see myself buying many t-shirts from them in the future, especially during the sales (not sure how often those are though)
  • Still haven't received my large order, or had a "cannot be delivered" card left through my letterbox :(

    Shame taht everyone else has receieved theirs. I was amazed to hear they had got them sent out so quickly, but i have had it take up to 3.5 weeks before.

    anyone still waiting on theirs?
  • Still not got mine. Have sent them an email today, only because I know the majority of other people have received theres. I'm a bit bummed out because 4 were gifts. However I have experienced worse delays with stuff coming from the US.
    Rang up my local delivery office and they haven't got a parcel waiting for me, due to customs or otherwise. Bit of a shame...

    The sizing is indeed not very generous. I'm a UK size 14 with a not very generous bust (thanks, genes) and the Girly Large is the right size for me, however, unlike a lot of 'girly' style t-shirts that are shaped and are cut smaller at the waist and then gradually flare out over the hips, the Threadless ones are cut straight up and down, and I find it quite a narrow cut. Not ideal for someone better endowed in the stomach region than in the bust area... :o
  • Anyone still waiting for their tee shirts should email Threadless, I did and found out that my order hadn't gone out & wouldn't be going out either due to some DHL error. I have got a discount code for 5 dollars off per item but as the tees are now 17 dollars each it's not much of a saving!
  • Bizarrely as soon as I post on here, I get a letter through the post saying I have duty to pay on it :(

    I'm gonna fight it as it's half the cost of the t-shirts :o

    I also buy the girly large. I'm a size 12 but fairly curvy.

    I saw a comparison once of large girls v small men's. I think the sleeves are marginally more fitted on the girl's ( which I liked ) whilst the men's t allowed for slightly more all round girth!

    Seems quite a good fit to me but they are rather overlong. I wear them for work though so is actually an advantage as it spares my blushes when bending down :D

    Thanks for the advice Gforce. I sent them an e-mail and have just got a very similar reply to yours though this time it was a problem with UPS.

    I wonder how many thousands of pounds they have sitting in their accounts (gaining interest) waiting on people following up on their missing orders. I hope the exchange rate is decent when my money is returned and I don't end up losing money. :(
