Jaggernaut Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Any advice here, please?: Am I right in thinking that the adults' t-shirt sizes are slightly on the large side? I ask because the most recent t-shirt I bought (also black, with a lovely red & yellow NIKE across the chest) is size "S." Fits me perfectly, but the label inside states 90 cm chest. If I use he half-chest measure on the chart on the R&Y page, that would come out closest to "XS." For a woman who wears "S" here (Japan), it looks like the Kids 12-14 size might actually be best. Are the Kids versions identical to the adults in quality; just size and price are different? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Kids versions identical to the adults in quality; just size and price are different? . I have recently changed the adult t shirts I supply. They are now the same manufacturer and same type as the kids garments. They are 100% organic ringspan cotton. I was a large when I locked down. The large t shirt I got a couple of days ago was a bit tight. Think that may be my problem! My 14 yo is wearing Adult M, 11 yo in 12-14. My feeling is that they are not a generous size. If you order a t shirt in your chest size it will fit and no more. One difference between Adults and Kids tops is the print area. Because the design has to fit on to a t shirt for a 3-4 year old, the design is scaled down in size. Therefore it is smaller on the larger kids sizes. The difference in size of a 12-14 kids top and an XS adult top may be negligible but the design on the kids top will be smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you boil them Wash, inside out, at 30 degrees. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron over print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I slipped this, unceremoniously, onto the site this afternoon. The Sunday Breakfast Mood mug. After a victory, drink with your right hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-shirt is very good quality (as is the cermanic) perhaps even better than the official merch of a good few years back. If you don’t like the designs submit some of your ideas to @BowenBoys as he will take them on board. After all we are Jags fans and every penny the club makes at present is the most important aspect in the current climate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
