Guys Girls Conversion

about Squeaked

I like the design a lot but am not too thrilled with the Khaki and really like the brown.
Does anyone know the conversion from guys small to girls?
Is there anything different with a girls shirt?

The women's sizes are shaped differently. Or, to put it differently: they are shaped fits. So a little bit broader around the chest and narrowing around the waist.

If you want it loose, you have to size up like mad. Many posts I've read stating a conversion from "girly" medium to "guys" small is that the guys small is still big. So I hope you're not far up in the guys sizing. I'm guessing that if you're a guys medium and you want it baggy, aim for the the "girly" XL.

i get a guys small and girls large, but looking at your pictures, a girl's xl looks like it would be best for you.

the arm lengths are pretty different.

Alright I'll try that, thanks

yea i wear the guys sizes and i use the guys medium, but i have one girly and i got the XL because i don't like it wicked tight

It'd be appreciated if you report back on how it works out. I'd like to use this if I'm ever caught in the same situation.

Ya, no problem

I agree about the color. I like the design on brown much better. Does anyone knoe how much of a difference there is between the arm lengths from guys and girls? I'd also like to hear how it works out for you if you do get the girls so it could help me decide on a size to get in girls sizes.

I found the chart of measurements. http://www.threadless.com/sizechart

But I am still wondering about the length of the sleeves.

taintedluvv on Jun 05 '07 at 7:53am

All the threadless shirts I have are girly XL's. The sleeves range from 6 and a half to seven inches long (inconsistency in AE sizes, as we all know) I have the shirts laying on a table and have the sleeves laying straight out. I measured them from the seam to the end of the sleeve at the very top. Hope that helps.

I just got the shirt in the mail. I was a male small and I ordered a female large. It fit perfectly out of the package, but when I washed it as recommended, it shrunk.

My advise is Guys Small=Girls XLarge.
