Clarification on shirt sizes.
Right, hands up... this is my fault entirely. I've gone and confused everyone.
3 Shirts are being printed on a different template then the others.
For the majority of shirts I'm using a vintage wash cotton, nice and thick, large-ish sizes.
But for 3 designs the vintage shirts didn't have the colours the designers wanted, so I selected a different base shirt for those... the Mélange shirts.
The designs are:
*** Anatomy
**
For those three shirts only, the cut is slightly different... slightly shorter in length and with slightly shorter sleeves.
The info on the SJS Cycles website is correct, and not the info on LFGSS (until I update it shortly).
So when those sizes are shown as XS > L rather than S > XL... then that is what they have.
Continental do not make XL for those shirts as you can see here: http://www.continentalclothing.com/?module=cms&P=323&SP=250
The key thing to follow is the chest size as per the SJS Cycles site, as that is correct.
SJS advise that you follow the chest sizes if you're unsure.
What might cause further confusion on top of my announcing incorrect sizes (such as an XL that doesn't exist) are the labels inside the t-shirts.
If you placed an order for a "Small 41'' Chest" this is the equivalent to a medium for other sizes, then it will actually say that it is a medium inside the t-shirt.
The majority of stock for the N16’s will be in the "Small" size which is equiv to Medium.
Although this is my fuck up, SJS have said that "if a customer places an order via the chest size, tries the t-shirt once they receive it, and should it not fit then they can return it to us for a replacement or refund.".
So you should be fine anyhow although with shirts selling so fast they may not be able to replace the shirt with one of a different size if it's unavailable (they are limited).
So again... for the three designs mentioned, just make sure you've ordered the right chest size.
