(I know this ain't no service forum, I just need a response post haste! Please read my 3rd post in this blog to understand my need for expedience)

Was this design printed on the older shirts? Or the newer threadless brand?

I ask because I'm a 3x wearer, and the newer shirts have been properly long, but I bought cntrlZ and it wasn't close to being long enough for my torso, and I'm guessing it was printed on the older shirts.

Now, this being an older design, I'm about to buy it and I hope that's not the case.

It says that they're printed on Threadless tees. By older do you mean FOTL or AA?

I just grabbed a recent shirt (animals with eyepatches 3x) and the old shirt (cntrlZ 3x) and both have the same threadless brand tag on them (made in bangladesh)

So now I'm even more confused.

Does anyone know, was there a running change in sizes at some point?

Or the date when CntrlZ was reprinted? So I can figure out if FallRevolution is newer or older than the poorly sized CntrlZ

i think ctrl + z was reprinted around april. maybe the same week of the april fools batch or the week after? fallrevolution was printed after the ctrl + z reprint i think.

OOps, negated my previous post by including an emoticon with a bracket in it.

Yeah, Cntrl Z was reprinted on April 7th

FallRevolution was printed on April 25th

I didn't buy any 3x designs between those 2 dates to know if the problem was addressed in those 2 weeks...

I would just contact threadless, but I'm sure that with the sale, they're inundated and I wouldn't get a response until next Tuesday (after the sale) thanks to Monday being a holiday...

Grr.

Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet, order it anyway, and if it's the poorly sized version, return it for $12 credit... which won't be anough to get another shirt post sale

It could be that the sizes are a little inconsistent. I've found them to be more consistent than AA tees, but still there are some variations.

I got this shirt, it printed on Threadless brand shirt.

what ladykat said. sometimes they fit just right, and sometimes they're just weird. :P

I agree with the occasional randomness, but my cntrl z fits like a baby tee, barely covering my gut, where all the other 3xs go a quarter the way down my thigh. That's a pretty vast difference in length.

Whoa, that's weird. That sounds like the sizes got mis-labeled.
ladykat
ladykat on Aug 28 '08 at 10:50am
Or rather, mislabeled.

Yay for extraneous dashes!
Papaprime

That may be true.

I'll probably use that reasoning to just give in and order this.

Now, I'm annoyed that I didn't return cntrl z... I only put it on once for 15 minutes, got annoyed at my exposed milkshake (it brough all these boys into my yard) and put it in my dresser, where it remained until I grabbed it out today to check the tag.

But it's too late to return it :/

yeah, it's gotta be a xl or 2xl labeled as a 3xl:

   Papaprime on Aug 28 '08 at 11:03am
both are held at the collar / shoulders evenly, and that's the length difference.

I've given in and ordered it. It's awesomtasticity and allurabilicability are too great. I couldn't wait for my Shimala summon to work.
