Current shirt

Current shirt, originally uploaded by christopher575.

I wear an XL. American Apparel XL hoodies, it turns out, are too small. So
are their 2XL hoodies. I had them send this t-shirt in 2XL because I didn't
want it to be too tight. It's kinda baggy. Now that we do so much shopping
online, they should really standardize a bit more.

AA sizing is inconsistent. Or European.

this was the explanation I heard years ago:

they stamp the clothing pieces out of a big stack of cloth so the ones on the top are too big, I guess because the stampers aren't razor sharp and they spread the top layers gradually les

AA sizing is the fucking worst. I carry them in the http://lollershop.com store, so I can get whatever I want most of the time. In their girlie cut tshirts I wear a XXL, in their hoodies I wear a M or L, what the fuck. Makes no sense.

I learned that I have to stay away from any shirt marked 'American Apparel' or 'Athletic Fit'.
