Aww yisss. My mapcore shit came.

T-shirts can be a tricky thing. Mine fits perfectly, but that's because I'm very much the opposite of petite. There are a number of different brands I can make the products available in though, however I don't know which ones are best for slim types who prefer a fitted feel. The brands are:

• American Apparel
• B&C (what we're using now)
• Canvas
• Continental
• Hanes

If any of you have bought those brands before and can express any preference or experience with sizing, that could be useful — it's no biggie to add them as options. If not, I can try and do some research myself as these are very common brands (there's even an American Apparel shop down the road from me). Note that the prices do vary by up to £5 for these.

 

I have actually had an American Apparel T-shirt before and found that the fit was quite tight and the T-shirt was long compared to others I've had. But this was way back when I was thin, lol.

 

BTW, regarding the printing: I went with direct-to-fabric printing because while it does have a less bombastic finish (it's described as slightly more vintage), it shouldn't crack and degrade in the way that printing where it's 'stuck on' can — that can be a big problem with lettering in particular.

Can't find a link to the store unless I go to through the news article, and that won't be under recent news forever. Maybe a more permanent link to the store should be added?

 

Sure thing. We're doing some re-jigging of the sidebar soon to complement a chat feature, so I can add a dedicated box for this then.

T-shirts are normally always the same height, or only slightly larger per size increase. Im 6'7" so chances are I won't find any that fit. But that fine.

For a fitted feel American Apparel is excellent. Hanes is a little loose. Can't comment on the other brands though.

American Apparel should be good for slim types, their tees are usually high quality and fit my skinny body pretty nicely

 

I'm glad I still haven't ordered mine then, I just can't wear wide tees because I look ridiculous in them. Same with the Blizzard ones, they are either extremely tight (S) or wide enough to make me look like a wannabe thug (M)

[Thrik]

Haha, OK it sounds like those will be a good alternative fit then. I'll add them as soon as I can, will update when the new shit is added.

I received mine ! Nice Easter gift 

 

I took a Medium size and it's fine (i'm 1m88)

[Sentura]

Hanes is a good brand too fyi - might be cheaper alternative than American

FMPONE spending his valve money wisely I see Buy all the mapcore!

[dux]

At least he will be seen wearing these in his valve bought ferraris.

BTW, I love my Core shirts (I'm wearing one of them right now!), donno if this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread, but I have 2 suggestions for some potential future changes:

 

1. Might just be that I'm being hyper OCD about this, but having the "game development community" text aligned to the left with a small empty space to the right has annoyed me for a while. Would look so much better if it was centred/spread out/slightly larger font so that it went all the way to the right IMO.

 

2. Make the red t-shirts have the white logo on them instead.
