Wassup Smediums. Looking for a t-shirt.

^^ for real. I'm now wearing an AA sz medium v neck from almost two years ago before the cuts went to ****. I miss the old AA

Yoko D, peace be upon them, cut a great t whose fabric was a noticeable step up from the AA variety. Size small was basically smedium. Too bad they couldn't let go of their graphic tees-- my plain black "shoulder button tee" is sweet.

The one v-neck I own from B Son is probably my favorite tee ever, which is why I prefer to leave it in the drawer and idolize it rather than use it for its intended purpose. It's a slouchily cut size small, which after one wash leaves just the right amount of drape to flatter my frame. And the 50% modal fabric has sent me on a rabid hunt for everything made of modal. It's sick.

Was it the brute v or crewneck? The v is a good slim fit on me, but the fit of the crew basically reminded me of an underarmour compression shirt.
I generally like acne but they seema little inconsistent with their sizing.. i think it's that when they design something to be slim they make it super-slim and when they design something to be relaxed they make it almost oversized.

I would have liked to try a yoko d t-shirt from their recent online sale because people have said good things about the fit/material but i thought all the graphics were pretty bad. I wish they made more plain t's.

twas the crewneck.

I did pick up the grey/off-white rugby stripe shirt from the Yoko sale-- it was the most subtle of the offerings, even though I have never in my life sported rugby stripes. In a few days I get to see how this turns out...

There's an AA store a few blocks from my house so I went and tried on all the t's (except baby rib, they didn't have that). I'm a measured 38 chest and usually smalls are too tight but I found the small 50/50 tee to fit like a shorter medium 'perfect t' and was my favorite fit. (the length on t's that fit me in the chest but don't billow is my main problem)The girly t in xl was the next best, but the super short sleeves aren't the style I'm going for. The Tri-blend had a weird deep scoop neck and very short sleeves again.

I'll probably get a bunch of 50/50's in colors and some girlys in white to use as undershirts.
