    There are some nice Tshirts on atm and a good selection of sizes available as the new designs are reduced to $12 too. They could make nice presents.

    Don't forget not to go overboard with the buying though. Packages of more than €22 in value inc shipping may attract import charges. By my calculations you should be able to buy 2 for €22.

    Could you not just order each item seperately?

    Am I the only one who doesnt understand why a rather large fapping circle is formed when these t-shirts are on sale?

    Like some of them are pretty decent, but i still dont understand why it gets the attention it does

    You could but you'd pay much more for delivery over all.

    Probably not. :)
    I think most people who like them do so because the tshirts are a bit different, they're not a sweat shop brand and they support and foster creativity by directly paying and featuring unknown artists who submit the designs that they print.

    It's a case of horses for courses I suppose :)

    A lot are complete ****e being honest but there are some great ones in there. The problem is the normal sizes get snapped up really quickly so only anorexic midgets or human blimps get the decent t-shirts after the initial blitz.

    Hence the popularity of these threads.

    I don't mod this forum so when I'm in here I am subject to the same rules and can be punished in the exact same way as any other poster. See the little triangle warning style picture on the bottom left hand side of my post. Press that and fill out the box that it directs to and this will sent a report to the mods of this forum. If they feel action is necessary then they will deal with my post. If they feel action is necessary but let it slide because I'm a mod then as far as I'm concerned they shouldn't be a mod of any forum.

    AlmightyCushion,

    I take personal offence to your comment.

    Regards,

    The Human Blimp (aka Colonel Blimp)

    PS - I will agree that a lot of their shirts are awful.. but they have some very good ones too. It's a shame I do think their quality is hit and miss - my Video Games Ruined My Life and Birds & The Bees tees is still as durable and colourful now as the day I bought them (at least 14 months back) whereas some I've bought about the same time have become faded and slighty shrunk).

    Their quality is still very good.. but they can be hit and miss. I think I read somewhere it depends on the type of shirt you get - maybe some can elaborate? Something about different shirt types stated on the label.

    EDIT: This is probably it
    Why are there Threadless Custom and American Apparel tees?

    When we got the opportunity to make our own private label tee, we jumped at the chance. In addition to the Threadless Custom tees, we are also printing on American Apparel tees for some designs.

    On every product page, there will be a note indicating what type of tee the design is printed on along with a link to the size chart.The sizing is a bit different for each brand. Check out our size chart so you can see the difference in sizes and find out which size is right for you!

    I have found that the American Apparel brand Tshirt is much better quality than the Threadless brand Tshirt.

    I think alot of their designs are rubbish too but there's sometimes one that's lovely. I bought one a year ago that I fell in love with and people still often comment that I should frame it rather than wear it because it's so nice. I haven't had that reaction about anything else I've worn ever.

    Just bought one for me and one for my bro - €22 delivered (basically €14 for one and another €8 to add a second). Cheers OP. :)

    Yes - a lot of the shirts are crap - but some of them are great and that's all you need.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭BArra

    It's wierd. on google search bar(which is also a currency converter) it says that when converting usd to eur 33usd is more than €22, but €22 is less than 33usd.

    On xe.com it's the same? Can anyone explain this

    If 2 is greater than 1, 1 is less than 2.

    No?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,890 ✭✭✭Effluo

    No?

    Nope. 1 is slightly more or less than 1 :( same with 2

    Exchange rates are going to vary - probably expect to see a little bit more on your bill than the figure you'd see on a random currency converter.

  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    I'm a medium/large here and I've always bought medium from them. Can sometimes be a bit of a tight fit mind.

    I've only bought 2 of these Tshirts for myself and the rest as presents for someone who likes them. I've found that their S, M ,L are much the same as ours.

    With my own Tshirts one is an American Apparel Tshirt and one is a Threadless brand Tshirt. Both are S but I've found the American Apparel one is definitely a bit tighter than the Threadless one. If you're thinking you might be on the bigger side of S for example then get a M in an American Apparel Tshirt. You'd be ok with a S in the threadless Tshirt though. It says on each page of the site which brand of Tshirt that the shirt is printed on.

    That's been my experience anyway.
