I just received my shirt and instead of a large, I received a small. It still fits because even though I like to be comfortable, an american Small fits my body but still!

about ABCs
Ok so this tee is printed on Threadless custom tee, I usually order a L because I prefer a tshirt too large than a tshirt too skinny. But is this tee naturally skinny or large...?

Les tilleuls sentent bon dans les bons soirs de juin!
L'air est parfois si doux, qu'on ferme la paupière;
Le vent chargé de bruits, – la ville n'est pas loin, –
A des parfums de vigne et des parfums de bière...
(Rimbaud)
The lime blossoms smell so good in the good evening of June!
The air is sometimes so sweet, you close your eyes
The wind is full of sounds - the city is not far -
Perfumes of grape-vine and beer

Les grands crimes n'ont guère été commis que par de célèbres ignorants. Ce qui fait et fera toujours de ce monde une vallée de larmes, c'est l'insatiable cupidité et l'indomptable orgueil des hommes, depuis Thamas-Kouli-Kan qui ne savait pas lire, jusqu'à un commis de la douane qui ne sait que chiffrer. (Voltaire)
The big crimes have been committed by well known ignorant. What makes and will always make of this world a valley of tears is the consuming greed and the indomitable pride of men, since Thamas-Kouli-Kan who didn't know how to read and until a chef's assistant (sort of...) who only knew his numbers.
