Shirt Length & Shrinkage

I've read around the blogs that the new AA shirts are being printed on longer tees because of how short they became once they were washed.

Does this apply to all shirts, or just some?

I'm thinking about ordering a size up because of how much one of my past shirts shrank even though it was air dried.

Anybody know?

No! My shirts shrink like crazy after I wash them, I've started to wash them in cold water and hang dry them to prevent that from happening.

I find more shrinkage when...ah hell, you're 16 and you're a girl...nevermind.

<---I'm listening to Feist right now.

I felt the need to tell you.

NiceAlex on May 27 '06 at 12:08am

I could really go for "Mushaboom" or "Lonely, Lonely" right now...

hotscars on May 27 '06 at 12:10am

The Postal Service remixed "Mushaboom" and it's pretty sweet.

"Gatekeeper" is playing right now though.

I've made it a habit to listen to "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" while I'm getting dressed in the morning and it really seems to improve my days.

And thanks, that remix is going on my list to download.

No problem. :) I love The Postal Service. I like to listen to it while driving long distances.

NiceAlex on May 27 '06 at 12:43am

I love it, too.

... This blog got kind of off-topic, does anyone know about the recent AA shirts?

I have Piece of Meat, and it shrunk like crazy. I hope that they're making shirts longer.

(I love The District.. beacuse it's one of the only songs I know about DC and I like to listen to it after spending a night there.)

yeah, mine shrink about 1-1.5 inches after being washed... it's sad.

zimfreak on May 27 '06 at 1:03am

I like that they shrink.

They shrink about one size, that's all.

(so a medium pre-washing is the size of a washed large, etc.)

mahalov on May 27 '06 at 1:08am

i'm about to wash mine soon :( i'm scared

(i got girl shirts cuz i like AA and guys small is too big most the time)

bananaphone on May 27 '06 at 1:08am

i hate that they shrink... i mean i really do need an xxl length being 6'6

i dont need the waist that they have, infact i wish i had a tighter fit there but length i definately need =P

mossaia on May 27 '06 at 2:14am

I hope not. Girly medium is my size, but the last shirt I got is annoyingly long on me since I'm 5'3".

mossaia on May 27 '06 at 2:15am

A lot of leotards come in XS, S, M, ML (medium long), L, and XL...maybe shirts should do something similar.

NiceAlex on May 27 '06 at 12:16pm

Well I'm only 5', so I was going to order Medium since the Small gets just a little too short after washing. But if you're taller and say they're annoyingly long... hmm maybe I wont.

mossaia on May 27 '06 at 1:55pm

To be fair, most of my mediums are great, I only have that problem with one.
