I was a little afraid when I got my sale package containing both shirts using the new Threadless brand (which I had not tried on yet) and the tried and true American Apparel girly tees.

I'm happy to report that the new tees fit just fine in my experience - just different. They seem more 'feminine' - more shaped and the thinner neck ribbing has a more girly feel. The side seams also appear to help with shaping the tee. It definitely did not feel too tight or uncomfortable.

I also hope the new cotton and inks they are using on the tees cuts back on the problem of inks occasionally fading in the wash - the black ink on my shirt of Sounds of the Sea faded dramatically after washing it inside out in cold water.

I'd like to suggest that perhaps an adjustment could be made to the amount of how much the shirts are worth when you submit photos - with the new prices, perhaps the photos could be worth 1.75 or 2.00 each? 15 dollar shirts are being phased out, and extra cash from STPs might help with the money pinch some people are talking about.
