    I want to finalize my pledge but I kind of want to know how the sizing runs in these shirts. I'm usually between a men's small and medium, but I'm worried that the small might be borderline kid sized.

    It's US sizing, so it runs a bit large, if memory serves. Summoning @mkrater if she's around.

    They're Fruit of the Loom brand. Not stretchy, but not thick cotton either. I think these are the specs:
    • preshrunk 100% cotton jersey
    • 5-oz.
    • double-needle coverstitched seamless ribbed-knit collar
    • shoulder-to-shoulder taping
    • double-needle sleeve and bottom hems

    I ordered a XL, but if it's indeed US size that might be a tad too much... got any measurements? The term "US sizing" is very stretchable.

    I mean Uber's "US sizing", every shop has different measures.

    mkrater just said they'e Fruit of the Loom brand shirts. That's the Fruit of the Loom brand sizing chart. I doubt they're using some custom proportion, but I could be wrong.

    Here's the information from the manufacture. Please note, these are in inches:

    Shirt size Width / Length
    Small 18 / 28
    Medium 20 / 29
    Large 22 / 30
    X-Large 24 / 31
    2XL 26 / 32
    3XL 28 / 33

    @LennardF1989 Is there a way to add spacing between the size and measurements?

    @mkrater Table structures are not possible, but I'll take a look at that tomorrow, shouldn't be hard to add with the new forum upgrade :)
