XL t-shirts

[_Transparent_]

so whats the link between metal fans and um, bigger people, i just wonder since whenever you want a band t-shirt theres only XL available , im quite lucky im tall enough to make it look alright, but some of my friends can't buy em as they are too big. so why arent there smaller sizes? (yeah i know you can buy smaller ones off the net, but not at concerts)

Yeah, the big shirts are a drag...but I usually see it as, at least they're available. Then that awesome guy, Life, came to town and told us he may be able to get us some smaller shirts. So, that's cool. I know, you can't have everything the way you want it. I would think that they'd at least always have XL, L, M and S at shows available. I mean, like you said, metalheads do come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe it's just cheaper to get all one size. Large ensuring that everyone will be able to fit them over all the fat heads...and boy are their some fatheads out there!

Yeah I can get away with XL 2 But I think its cos then everyone could in theory buy one - people are more willing to wear a tshirt that is too large than one that is too small! Do u know of newhere in Camden that u can get opeth tshirts Transparent? Cos I looked and couldn't find newhere!

, thats like saying can you find a Limp Bizkit fan that knows about metal. I'll go through the bands clothes catalogue in Camden:

Limp Bizkit
Linkin Park
Slipknot (getting a bit less popular, now theres only 4 box loads of their stuff in shops instead of 5)
SOAD
Baggy trousers (madness sing along time)
and anything else thats nu-pop

I think theres only decent t-shirt shop there, and the best thing i saw there was A Perfect Circle top. oh well, the only thing now is The Underworld and resurection records i dont really go into the other shops anymore.

so you see godisanathiest, you shouldn't be too jealous about me living near Camden, oh except for the fact opeth are playing there, and that other band, whats their name, um, that welsh one you know, um whatever they are

I completely agree, whenever I see a shirt I want it is always in XL, it gets quite annoying.

How tall are you Godisanathiest and Transparent, keep it non-metric because I don't know how tall I am metric.

im 5 foot 11 or something i think, but im built, so i can get away with wearing it with my leather jacket and you oyo?

The business reason for XL-

Bringing a truckload of various size shirts to a show to sell would make no sense - how would you know how many S/M/L etc sizes to bring? You want to reduce leftover inventory, so a fire sale won't be necessary. You get the best coverage by bringing a size all can at least get into - plus most people know a cotton t-shirt can be shrunk. (godisanathiest already brought up this point)

OK - enough of the CPA bullcrap - so I swim in my concert T's - I'm 5'11", but only 160. A large size at best. And why $20 for a stinking t-shirt that doesn't really fit? Can you say sucker?

but these tops are sometimes big for big people , maybe slightly smaller would be better

 

[Eld]

Damnit, I need XXL's! It's impossible to find them.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I'm like 6 feet even and not built

 

[benny]

I hate seeing all these great shirts in XL, my only Vintersorg shirt only came in XL so its really long on me.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Where'd you get Vintersorg shirt, send link please?

 

[benny]

Napalm Records has one, email orders@napalmusa.com and ask for a catalog. They will send you a catalog so you can open it in word.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Ok, thank you, I don't have word though lol.

 

[benny]

Well just email them and say you want the Vintersorg shirt then

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

lol, ok, what's it look like, do they have one with Cosmic Genesis album cover?

 

[benny]

Go to http://www.vintersorg.com and then go to "live" then to "merchandise" the shirt Napalm USA has is on the bottom. They have it in long sleeve and short sleeve.
