Any idea how the sizes relate to real sizes? M/L/XL etc are not standards

They're standard US sizes.  I will look up some sort of conversion to UK/European sizes and report back if I find anything.

I was trying to get a guide from the t-shirt manufacturer but it doesnt say who the joomla shop is using. (eg gildan etc)

I ordered a medium T-shirt.  I laid it flat on the table and measured right under the chest at the widest point (under the arm).

Medium T-shirt: 50.5 cm (20 inches)

I will try to get the measurements of the other sizes soon.

I am finding it to be a slim fit

Levis -

First of all, WAY TO GO to you and your entire team!  :)

Is it possible to add a small? My daughter would like one - she's finishing her second J! site - and she wears a size small shirt.

If not possible or if it's difficult at all, we'll get her medium.

Thanks so much for this! It is great!
Amy :)

Levis as you have a shirt in front of you can you let me know who the manufacturer is (eg gildan) and then I can get the size charts from them

Thanks Amy,  I will consider to order small in our next order.  Hopefully you won't have to wait to long.

Sorry to be a pain but can you get a definitive answer from print mojo about sizes. One site I just went to offering jerzees shirt suggests that the sizes are a bit different to the sizes suggested above.

I will look in to this first thing in the morning.

If you think you should get the next size up please send a Ticket to PrintMojo.com saying you ordered the wrong size and that you would like to get the next size.

Submit a support ticket in PrintMojo customer service form.

Great. When you get an answer can you add the info to the shop. I'm sure there will be others who want/need to know.

US sizes are big (no comment from me on why). I live in Canada I usually buy large. When I'm in the US and I buy a large I am swimming in it. My rule of thumb is to go one size smaller when dealing with US sizes.

I guess I'll get a medium.

ddp,

Based upon Lévis's T-shirt that he ordered, you might want to re-evaluate your size.
I ordered a medium T-shirt.  I laid it flat on the table and measured right under the chest at the widest point (under the arm).

Medium T-shirt: 50.5 cm (20 inches)

I will try to get the measurements of the other sizes soon.

Australia/Oceania is also a different sizing structure.

I'll make it easy. Forget all the arguments over US/UK sizes. We need fat guy sizes! 3X and 4X.

Fantastic! Unbelievable! Outstanding! Stupendous! Care for anymore from my thesaurus?

I ordered my T from printmojo on Valentine's Day (Feb 14), and must admit I was dubious about the sizes. There is no way of knowing whether XXL is a overgrown man from Texas size, or a small starving model from Milan size...

It arrived here in Newcastle, Australia today (Feb 19) in great condition, and the RIGHT size for me!

I cannot believe that it got here soooo quick. Are you sure Joomla doesn't have a sweat shop around the corner from my place?

Well done to all concerned, and be ready for sightings of a Joomla shirt all over the East Coast of Australia... :P

PS: I love how the Spell Check doesn't recognise Joomla...

Oh Baby!

I just optimistically ordered a medium.

Can't wait to try it on. Gosh I'm a geek.

that's odd...  the same is true for coffee...  If you order an extra large coffee at Tim Horton's in Canada, it is the same thing as a Large in the United States.  Interesting correlation...

WooHoo, just got my t-shirt today... I'm a slim 6 footer but I ordered an XL... 23.5 inches (60cm) across the chest and just the right length too.

You can now order your favorite Small Size Joomla! T-shirts.  I hope that your daughter can ware it proudly.

New also in stock, the opposite size (XXXL).  Maybe for some friends of yours.  :)

Levis -

Thanks for remembering! I placed my order; Madi is very much looking forward to her T-Shirt. I've think I have convinced her geek = good.  ;) I'll keep an eye out for someone suitable for your other new size category - they shouldn't be hard to spot!

Thanks, again!
Amy :)
