When you buy t-shirts, do you buy the size that fits, or a size bigger? I buy a size bigger,

1. a washing and the dryer makes them smaller

[debm55]

2. That's why I buy a size larger.

16. Yup me too

3. Always a

size larger. Only very expensive material won’t shrink and I can’t afford that!!😊

4. I always buy just the right size

Whatcha think?

5. What do I think------

6. A couple of sizes larger...more comfortable that way...

and the garment hangs on the body with no stretching or tightening up with movement. And then there's the shrinkage factor after washing.

9. Yes, I like my t-shirts comfortable, too.

7. at LEAST one size bigger

and it's because I'm such a fashion plate ... cutting such a figure ...

(form fitting duds went out - shortly after tie-dye? or, alternatively - shortly after late 20s - and full frontal cortex .. )

10. Me too.

8. I always buy 1 or 2 sizes bigger,,,,

I like baggy shirts. I hate feeling 'bound up'

[debm55]

11. Same here.

17. besides larger,,,,

I opt for a V neck or boat neck I cannot deal with something touching my neck or throat,,,
I've gotten rather eccentric in my old age

13. I go right down to the tent and awning store

and buy a size larger.

14. I like being comfortable, so the looser the fit the better.

15. Depends on how they fit. If a MED is tight I'll try a LRG. If it's pretty loose, I'll get the MED.

Got to try it on, or at least do a visual evaluation. All MEDs are not the same, nor LRG and SML. Also material has a lot to do with it. If it's all cotton, it will stretch better than maybe a non-cotton material. Main thing is it has to be comfortable that's what a tee shirt is meant to be.

18. A size bigger

19. Depends on my plans

If I plan to use it as a shell under a suit jacket, I buy the exact size. All other uses I buy a size larger.
