Tshirt fitting

[Baruch]

I always have trouble with Tshirts to fit right.

I am 5'10 148lbs. Some shirts look good on me in size "s" the others in "m". But most of "m"s are to long on me but fit perfect on my body. Its wierd.

How do you make sure a tshirt looks good on you?

Start bulking. They'll begin to fit much better.

Go to a ... I don't know the word... someone that sews things.. and sews your shirt tighter.

OK so you're a short arse, just admit it.

Make a mental note when chatting up girls to ask them whether they can sow.

Once you've found a Seamstress, bone her, even if she's ugly. Then get her to dart and shorten all your fav. T shirts.

Then dump her.

In my day you just used to tuck 'em in.

Well, you go around and try them on until you find the size that fits you best. This is why most stores have "dressing rooms". If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Short of getting it altered, which is a little extreme for a T-shirt, there isn't anything you can do about beside not buying it and looking somewhere else. Finito.

im not short at all, unless 5'9 is short to you.

i bought 3 medium shirts, but the all are to long. they didnt have any small ones my size. usually the small ones shrink so they are to small. the mediums are to long....its an endless cycle

look for a store named ZARA

they sell stuff that looks REALLY GOOD on guys with a lighter build

i'm 5'9 and 155 (they're a little tight on me)

I have a hard time finding shirts (mostly button-up) that fit right on me.....I'm between 5'8 and 5'9 and around 160. Most of the time the shirts are S, M, L, and XL.....for skinny guys, fit guys, bulky guys and fat guys who are all 6'2 and over. Or the small will be almost short enough for me but too tight.

The best store I've found for fashionable/etc shirts that fit perfectly on me is Buckle. I've found so many really nice, perfectly fitting shirts there.

try American Eagle or Express (great fits)

It depends.
Sometimes you want a t shirt with a nice snug fit. It helps if you've got nice sized shoulders and tricepts and aren't too overweight in the gut area.

Other times I like to wear my tshirts long so they'll still fit correctly but goes below the mid section.

Most guys have hundreds of t shirts so you should rotate through them so your shirts don't get all worn out over the course of a few months either.

Yeah but I always hate the guys that wear those tight shirts. It's kind of gay in a way.

Then again my girlfriend always liked me in them. I am just not comfortable wearing tight shirts in public.

For me at 5/10 and 175, a large is good. A medium would be too tight.

Wife beaters are money at pool parties. But I won't wear one around town, looks kinda tacky

What exactly are wife beaters, I take it it's a tight fitting T shirt of some description, am I being a bit slow?
