Capsaicin Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 So, do these run small or large or anything like that? Should I order a size up or down? I remember hearing something about how the sizes were a little weird and I just want to get this cleared up before spending over 20 bucks on a t-shirt. thxdudes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArbitersGround Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have the green BoC one, as well as the blue. They're basically slim fit t-shirts. The fabric is actually pretty good. At least more soft and shit than what I was expecting. They're kind of long, but more slim and narrow fitting. I got mine in small. I'm 6'0 and a size 30 waist and it fits me perfectly.

40days Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yup, I go also with what was said above. I've ordered the black AFX and BOC shirts from Bleep, L size, and they fit me as perfectly as do Fruit of the Loom L sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AcrossCanyons Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have two shirts from bleep (j dilla and blue boc) and both fit differently (both large). The boc material is very light and because I sized up (lazy days t shirt, wanted it loose. i generally fit medium) but it's a bit too airy and light. The dilla one is heavier cotton and fits much better. So I guess depends what shirt you're going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOCfan Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 The material was way better when then were sold through warp. The bleep t-shirt's are too light for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain James Mission Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I got the black AFX and the black BoC in XL. I'm 6'4" and they fit me very well. Good Quality, too. recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've got a couple of brown BoC t-shirts, the L fit is suprisingly comfortable for a fat hairy-arsed pygmy like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest extherium Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I got an old BoC Brown and a BoC Green and they are different fits. Both medium size, but the green one is a slim fit that has more length. Either way, quality material, quality shirts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'd kill for an Africa Hitech t-shirt with some of their cover art Agreed. I think Warp could do better when it comes to the merchandise side of things. So many great images and artwork at their disposal yet there's not much that tickles my pickle.

Guest ArbitersGround Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well, looks like it's unanimous; These are some bitchin' shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747Music Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've got the old brown nuclear family t-shirt in small, and the new black BoC t-shirt in large. Both fit great. Which is odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dorstlesser Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi all, Since I used this thread to get an idea of which size of shirt to order, I thought it would be good for my karma to give you my personal experience. Short version: they definitely don't run small. Long version: I like t-shirts that fit quite snugly, because flabby/wide t-shirts make me look fat. I'm 1m83, European shirt size 42 (that's 42 cm around the neck), fairly broadchested (definitely not skinny) and normally I have 'large' sized shirts, but sometimes medium, so I was doubting which to get. Based on the views expressed here, I ordered a medium. It fits very well, but any tighter would have probably not been a good idea. But I'm happy I didn't order a 'large'. So if you like snug shirts, don't order these too large. However, if you like wider shirts, and you're of a fair size, definitely don't order smaller than 'large'. Cotton is of reasonable quality, I've received worse when ordering online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acroyear Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 their XL shirts run an inch or two too long for me. Otherwise a great fit, on a 6 foot tall, 185 lb person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton is of reasonable quality, I've received worse when ordering online. i have a similar problem with t-shirts. i find it so hard to get ones that fit nicely. there is so much variance, even within manufacturers such as Gildan or American Apparel. it's always a toss-up between medium and large for me and i rarely seem to get good fits, which is a shame because the shirts available online are waaay better than the vast majority of what's on offer in shops. i suppose most online vendors are happy to do exchanges, but still, it's hassle... i bought one of the light blue BOC ones last summer in a medium (American Apparel i believe) and it's definitely on the tighter side. however, i find AA large is slightly too baggy. i can't win.

ghOsty Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'm sad that the old brown and orange one is out of print, I had one but it seems to have gone missing when I moved, probably ended up in my ex-housemate's laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I bought the green and blue (new versions) and I can't get on with them. There XL and i've worn them maybe 4 times each. My major gripe is they have a low cut on the neck, I can't put up with low, wide cuts on the neck because....and laugh as much as you like....lol...but I'm a fairly hairy bloke. Hairy like a wolf. So these t-shirts show my hairy neck and shoulders, all popping up and out everywhere. Pretty disgusting. Sorry if you're eating your dinner. The odd time i've worn them is on cycling trips with a thin helly hansen summer base layer underneath, the tight necked zipped baselayer keeping the beastly forest inside. Not sure why I am telling you this, apart from if you are hairy like a wolf and have a forest on your neck and shoulders. Don't buy them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 TBH I need to drop the wolf bit. Its a bit embarrassing nowadays, I need to grow up a bit. Rename myself something else. Still hairy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Burial t-shirt from Hyperdub and also a Ninja Tune t-shirt from Bleep, both in M, and they both turned out tent-sized and flappy. I don't wear them out, only at home or to the gym. such a waste. meanwhile my two (yes, two, and I'm considering getting a third) purple Warp t-shirts still fit perfectly. I don't understand the variance, really. I always buy M and some of them turn out right but some of them turn out huge. never had a case where one was too small, fortunately. I recently ordered a Convex Industries t-shirt and I hope it turns out well because it'd be a real shame for this design to go to waste that's a Gildan shirt, they're like what i'd call a 'classic' cut t-shirt, not like American Apparel at all. should be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
