So we're going to be producing some tall tees for purchase and want to get the sizing right...
1. how big is too big?
2. is there a standard sizing chart? IE: what size and description would be give the producer?
3. Thickness?

anything else I forgot, you guys are the ones who would be getting these so we want to get it right.

thanks..  josh

1. no such thing
2. i dont really know
3. I like thin, soft shirts because the thick ones get kind of rough and unsoft in the wash

1. if you nail the sizing, you wont need to worry about too big
ex. tom wallnuts and pete olenick are tall. simon dumont, sammy c, and i are extremely short. a shirt that fits t-wall and olenick would be dragging the ground on me

2. maybe tell them you want L, XL, XXL, and XXXL

indeed..i hate how when you wash the foot locker ones, they get really short to the point that your tall tee ends up being 5 feet wide

i have no idea about sizing but maybe the easiest most universal way is to give the length in inches from the collar to the bottom.

Well the tall tees that enlightener made were small as fuck, the 4xl tall was about the size of an 2xl footlocker tall. XL-4Xl would be good sizes if they are true size. And i prefer thin but some prefer heavyweight.

make sure that the bigger the size is, the longer, not wider, the tee is. Maybe a little wider per size, but focus mainly on length. No skiers are fat anyways, and probably mostly skiers are going to buy them. And if they shrink in the wash and end up being a normal length tshirt with room for 5, they wont do any good. sick idea by the way

Okay a bit of imput, no idea if this had been said because i didn't read other posts but, 2-4xl tall is good, 5 and 6 is getting a little rediculous, expecially if you are going to wear it outside of skiing, and also, i'm sick of companies that make this thin cotton shirts, i think a nice thick shirt would be good, and people would buy for sure

you should make them like L to like 5XL because if you just want to wear them around town you dont want like a 3X. Some longsleeves and shortsleeves would be really dope too.

2XL-5XL and thicker then finish line fo sho, but not too thick cause those suck after washing them, and not wide, and make sure they are preshrunk.

Don't make them too skinny, because then you'll just look like you're wearing a giant tube sock. I say size them the same as champs. That way people will know exactly what size they want. XL-4XL is probably good

yeah im with this guy, make sure they just have extra length, not width


BUT, they do make size L tall tees... i've bought a few at champs before

and for sizing i'd say get L (for the littler kids), XL, XXL and XXXL...maybe up to XXXXL but those are giant


and make them like bright with a design on the bottom front corner... that'd be sick

4XL shirts are usualy the right size for like a 6' build

ATTN!!

let it be known, Footlocker, Champs, and Finishline all buy their tees from the same supplier. just buy those and print whatever you want on them. then most people will have an accurate idea of what size they will be. like, i could infer that since i generally wear 2x tall at Finishline, i will wear 2x tall in Line. if you get them from the same supplier as the aforementioned companies, they will be much better quality and people will be more open to buying them.

its already been said but i cannot stress the "LONG and NOT FAT" point enough...this is crucial.

make them a bit thicker so they fall nice and size them xl to 5xl ....should be right around knee level, slightly above or below depending on rider's preference....and ya fluo colors are always a good time
