Yeah, smalls and mediums would be a good thing. I'm about 6'0 and 150, so anything bigger than a medium is a fucking tent on me, and that would only work if I dug metalhead "style" which I muchly don't.
Mia: To me it's not so much that Japanese culture is too hip right now, it's more that most of the instances of it are by people who have no connection with the culture and no desire to understand or make a connection with it. Not that I do!
In all seriousness, I am not Steve420. This account was made and a new persona adopted because it's really embarrassing but I rely on cookies so heavily that I can't remember my password.
Japanese culture is ex-hip. I wouldn't worry too much, though, because it's still cool, and shit, American culture has been ex-hip for a decade or more now.
And Stultus, WHY YOU SUCH A HATA. I would have at LEAST found an excellent avatar.
I usually go for XL, because L are all weird and different I noticed....some are too small and some are just right. So I play it safe, buy a XL and hope it shrinks a bit.
I'd imagine the difference in preferecne has to do with the whole moving away from metal idea. Three seems probably the most unique and non-metal, while one, with rats on it, is slightly metal and two, with the corpse eating zombie is something that a lot of metal bands would do (although here it's done far more tastefully than most metal bands would do it).
i kinda like them all, but 3 is my fave.
and YES, different colored shirts would be good. even if it's something only slightly different than black, like dark blue or grey or jade. but yes, color is good, in addition to black (rather than instead of).
2) I would buy a magenta shirt or any other shirt. actually, even navy wouldn't be bad
3) Girly shirts would be nice But if they aren't possible, I'm another person hoping for Small/Medium shirts... I'm only 5'1" 113 lbs
4) I don't know how you are going about making the shirts and stuff,(i read the thread but i forget what it said) but did any of you look into this site? I don't know what the budget is or anything, or if it will be of any help. http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/index.aspx
