American Apparel run super-small.  Definitely get a size up, in my experience.

Good heavens, I go away for six seconds and already people are spreading misinformation about our garments. James, your answer is here:

Thank you for asking. In the future, product questions should be sent to orders@achewood.com.

Cool, thanks Chris. I had actually read that, and was just kinda wanting some anecdotal advice for reassurance. Now that I re-read it, I see it's written by yourself rather than American Apparel, so I needn't have worried. But you know, buying internet t-shirts can be tricky! Thanks again.

I like my shirts loose so I go up a size on almost all shirts*. So for my American Apparel shirt I almost wish I'd gone up two, but then I'd look like one of those rap guys but sadly, I don't like back.

*I have what they call in the clothing world a "beastly neck" so shirts that otherwise fit fine are tight by my throat.

My XL Lyle tee after only a couple washings became an M.

I ordered a size up, and now have a size down.

Funny, the same thing happened to my Science ringer a year or so back.

Wow, somebody who is in the T-shirt selling business would certainly find such unfiltered customer feedback highly useful information.

Too bad we don't know anybody like that.

My "more science" long-sleeve is a large.
It fits exactly like a medium size around the shoulders, length of arms, collar yet is about a half-foot too long.
It sometimes looks like i'm wearing a small skirt.
I think this is to do with my being quite short/British.
Basically, you takes your chances.

I'm sorry, but I can't just let this slide.  "Beastly neck?"  This is facinating.

Also, I got the special girl T-shirt in a size up, and lived with regret, as it was too big, and streached out even more.  I got the bunny ambulance basic T in my regular size, and it started out a tad - snug and becomes a perfect fit with wear, then returns to slightly too small in the wash and again streaches out with wear.

Also, my main problem is and has always been stain attraction.  I don't know why, but every time I wear my bunny ambulance shirt I spill silly amounts of food on it.  It's like the shirt has some sort of voodoo stain curse on it.  Any other shirt, I can gracefully shovel in the grub without fear, but I was actually assessing the bunny ambulance one the other day, and I decided it would no longer be apropriate to wear it to work, and I'm pretty sure it's going to have to be retired.

I don't look like Chris Benoit or anything I just have a neck that's large compared to the rest of my frame especially my small shoulders. It's why my HS wrestling team recruited me.

Chris Benoit!
Non-ironic glee at knowing another achewood fan also knows pro-wrestling!
I have a neck like Spike Dudley!

Very few people are aware that "Classy" Freddie Blassy originally coined the phrase "pencil necked geek."

You should've been here last year. Or just 5 months ago.

I was always impressed with the way he could wear that "Toothless Aggression" t-shirt and pull it off. People used to use that phrase when he was a heel to mock him, and after his face turn, it became his shirt. Priceless.
