[kj] FW: About those new Killing Joke shirts..

[melinda grant]

  gosh,that was a detailed reply,phew :D))perhaps you should be in the rag trade,you appear to know alot about these matters...um....
 
 
alot of people have the same dilemma as your self concerning correct sizes of items of clothing,so i dont know what else to suggest to you other than going for it if you want it,and if you are not sure,forget it for awhile or forget it altother if it causes you so much grief,life should not have to cause you so much stress should it
 
as for my self,i always buy t-shirt/shirt one size up from small,as i like that roomy feeling.
 
this is a bit off topic as you mentioned in your post your concern over the shirt maybe not fitting you properly.....well you read my reply   i have nothing else to suggest on this subject at the mo ,excert to repeat how much i like those long sleeved shirts ect--you saw the post earlier:)> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2007 11:38:58 -0500> From: bigblackhair at sbcglobal.net> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] FW: About those new Killing Joke shirts..> > Melinda, well, we're getting a litte off topic, but, yes, I have looked > into making my own Killing Joke shirts.> > For example, I made my own black long sleeve Joy Division shirt at > Cafepress.com.
