At a 38" chest am I really xxl in the tee shirt :(. ?

[mrslazy]

Does anyone have any sizing information about the new graduate tee shirt yet?

[tantrumbean Graduate]

I emailed them, because I was confused, too. The reply states "The chest sizes have been calculated by myself by physically measuring the tops. I am happy to be told I was wrong and alter the size chart accordingly if this is what customers are finding.". If you look on the Fastrax website, the measurements are actually slightly different (and I suspect possibly a bit more accurate). fastrax-online.co.uk/produc... You'd go down quite a bit on the sizing chart!

Blimey, thats a bit of a difference!! I ordered an XL based on the sizes on the complete runner site.... If it doesn't fit properly I'll be gutted, I feel like I've been waiting forever for it to arrive!!

Thanks tantrumbean. I ordered largest size too but it hasn't arrived yet. It looks as if I should have used fastrax measurements and sent for M! We'll see what happens when the package comes

There was a similar question earlier and the reply from the company was that the measurement was under the bust - not bust size. Not quite so demoralising but seems a bit odd. I've never come across this before and had ordered the biggest women's size before I read this. (can't even bring myself to type ***L ! Do they realise they're probably losing orders over this? ) . Mine's not arrived yet either but I will blog when it does.

Oh, my gosh, I would be a medium according to the Fastrax chart, whereas I was bigger than an XXL according to the order site for the C25K shirt! I knew something had to be wrong! Who on earth measures women's chest size under the bust?

[mrslazy Graduate]

I agree, I would have ordered by now, but it sticks in my throat. I am a bit obsessive, if I try on a size 14 and it doesn't fit I won't buy a 16. Having struggled with weight all my life I will not slide into a larger size, I must try harder to eat carefully. As with you ordering this size presents a dilemma. X

[tantrumbean Graduate]

Well, I've just been brave and ordered a small mens - which usually fits my tall girly shape... According to Fastrax, I'm a small bordering on medium, but with the 2 inch gap between the sizes, the medium might be colossal, so decided to go small. Red would have clashed too badly with the pink on my trainers, so went for yellow instead - if it all goes wrong, I'm going to look like a yellow sausage about to burst from its skin!

[mrslazy Graduate in reply to tantrumbean]

Please let me know when it arrives how it fits. I haven't decided what colour yet, but thought the yellow might be good as the evenings get darker for visibility. I quite fancy the black logo.

[tantrumbean Graduate in reply to mrslazy]

Will do! Don't expect any pictures if it is the sausage look tho! Suspect it will be a couple of weeks before it gets here...
