Why doesn't Threadless print Youth Large sizes?

Every monday I browse through the new selection and see tons of new shirts I'd love to have but I'm always hesitant to buy them because of sizing. Threadless's smalls tend to run on the large side, and that is usually to big for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue, but how sweet would it be if Threadless printed in youth large size along with their normal sizes. Most shirts go up to 2XL, why wouldn't they also include us smaller people? What do you guys think?

get a girls then, maybe they are smaller.

d3d on Dec 04 '05 at 3:32pm

i'd love to see a threadless kids range

TFMdesign on Dec 04 '05 at 3:33pm

i think you should gain weight.

dorkeh on Dec 04 '05 at 3:34pm

Beh. I am a youth large and most the shirts are only a tad too big. It's good that I can wear them and grow into them without outgrowing them fast.

Stevethegreat on Dec 04 '05 at 3:35pm

you can get girly sizes which are way smaller

or you can send them an e-mail

Girly small is sort of on the puffy side for me too. It's the cut, it gets baggy around the waist and back.

Asthenic on Dec 04 '05 at 3:43pm

Are the girly sizes just smaller or are they cut differently? What girly size would be the quivalent of a Youth Large? thanks for all the input

loserbeech on Dec 04 '05 at 3:52pm

Girly sizes are cut differently - they nip in at the waist and have a lot smaller sleeves than mens sizes.

we used to carry YL but replaced them with girly tees

d3d on Dec 04 '05 at 4:32pm

i might try on a girly large myself. i like the shorter waist and sleeves.

lenabean on Dec 04 '05 at 4:33pm

you spell your name spenser? woah thats a new one! i know three spencers but no spensers

Asthenic on Dec 04 '05 at 5:52pm

Yeah, I have two s's, its consistantly spelled wrong, especially by my teachers :P I still love it though

So how would one go about contacing Threadless and trying them to bring youth sizes back? Should I jsut click on "contact" and send them a message or would I need some type of petition?

loserbeech on Dec 04 '05 at 6:01pm

You see shimala who just replied to you, a couple of posts above? He's a Threadless staff member, so you've already contacted them.

Good jorb!

Girly large should be the equivalent of youth large. The girly shirts are NOT fitted at the waist, so they fit generally like youth sizes.

ACANTHUS on Dec 04 '05 at 6:08pm

what about the baby sizes preferably 3.375 kg size

loserbeech on Dec 04 '05 at 6:11pm

Girly shirts are fitted. Look at the size chart, the width of the waist is considerably smaller than the chest: http://www.threadless.com/sizechart

Pico on Dec 04 '05 at 6:23pm

I have girly smalls and mediums and none are fitted. There are no seams up the sides of the shirt.

BS-Money on Dec 04 '05 at 6:26pm

are you really small or are you just one of those kids who likes tight shirts. if you are really small, i know what you mean. my friend jon always complains that they are too big.

steve_swartz on Dec 04 '05 at 8:31pm

d3d, we don't want to be seeing your biceps and belly, dude

mad.rhetoric on Dec 04 '05 at 8:50pm

Girly t's are American Apperal, guys are Fruit of the Loom. The girls XL is about a size (maybe a bit more) down from a guys S. The girls t's ARE fitted (some have seams up the side, some don't).

A better solution to Youth L would be to switch guys t's to American Apperal. American Apperal offers a better (smaller, more fitted) fit in a wide range of sizes.

I would buy Threadless again if they switched to AA.

artie on Dec 04 '05 at 8:52pm

i dont know.. i own american apparel guys smalls and i love them and they fit great.
ijust got some FOTL small tees from here and they suck. they're too tight and not very comfortable. AA just fit better... they're not exactly smaller i dont think because well... doesn't fit me that way

meloncauliflowr on Dec 04 '05 at 8:54pm

i can wear a kids size large, like at shows. or a chick medium from threadless. THUS, order a chick medium. or small, depending on how skinnnnnnny you are, i suppose.

Asthenic on Dec 05 '05 at 9:08am

"are you really small or are you just one of those kids who likes tight shirts. if you are really small, i know what you mean. my friend jon always complains that they are too big."

I'm a pretty small guy (5'5 125lb) and I also like my shirts on the slimmer side (but deffintly not showing like a midrif or anything). Either way, the smalls just go way below my wasteline if I don't constantly fold them up or something.

Ady bear on Dec 05 '05 at 9:09am

are you skinny like me?
good,don't eat all the pies.

elle_the_great on Dec 05 '05 at 9:10am

i agree with TFM.
EAT.

javguerre on Dec 05 '05 at 9:27am

stop being tiny. take human growth hormone and steroids

JuliusB on Dec 05 '05 at 9:46am

try girly large and medium, they fit me pretty well

velvetsamurai on Dec 05 '05 at 9:50am

i wear a YM and get the medium girly tees here. i'd reccomend you get the large girly. the only difference i have noticed is that they have a bit of stretchyness to them

travis76 on Dec 05 '05 at 9:59am

Why doesn't Threadless print Youth Large sizes?

because kids were not meant to wear goatse.

puma_blues on Dec 05 '05 at 10:06am

werd.
Also, as a person of x-large stature, I find sympathy a hard thing to grasp in this situation. My apologies, but a youth size at 17? That's beyond the scope of my imagination.

Rachel Raygun on Dec 05 '05 at 10:39am

Yeah the girly small shirts I have aren't fitted. Hence the baggy midsection.

I'm afraid that if they do print youth sizes, it'd be too short for me though. (5'8")
