For those of you still pondering which t-shirt to order this is mine ... sorry, it's not the best photo in the world and doesn't really do it justice. You can see the writing across the top very clearly on the t-shirt but not on the photo.

I went for the pale blue one as someone *really* needs to tell the mainstream women's sportswear manufacturers that bright pink is ok in moderation but not all of the time!!!

I am hoping to model it this weekend in my first ever Parkrun :)

PS This is in response to a question about white writing on the t-shirt but I couldn't see how to attach a photo in an answer to a question! If anyone knows how, can they let me know, please?

Ooooh I like that! Know what you mean about pink. Pink is not my colour!

I like the blue, and I like the white writing too! Enjoy your Parkrun this weekend.

Ooh, that looks nice. OK, I'm going to order a white logo then. Getting it in pink to match my cheeks whilst running ;)

Alas, have actually ended up ordering a Berry one with the black logo. The bits down the side are black so thought the white logo might not look so great. The dark and light blue ones are the only ones with white down the sides, so think the white logo would go best with these. Need to write my graduation blog now :)

Oh, and good luck with your Parkrun. I'm doing my first one this weekend too. Let us know how it goes.

Thats a lovely shade of blue, like that very much, may make that my second one, but the days will be getting cooler up here in a few weeks and will need longer sleeves.

Good luck to all Parkrunners on Saturday, I'm doing a duty at mine this week but we will celebrate our 1st anniversary on 6th October so they are planning a beach party, that should be fun.

Hi,

What size did you order? I've looked at the sizing and the Medium looks like it's a 34 chest which seems a bit small to me? I always go for a size 12 as I like a loose fit. Do you reckon I need a Large in this?

I'm usually at size 10 so I went for small. I saw a post saying that the measurements were taking from the lady directly measuring the tshirts which I'm not sure is the correct way to come up with the chest size. I would guess a 12 to be a medium. Maybe someone else who has received theirs can shed some light.

in reply toCaroleC

Agree with Redsheep on this one. I would normally go for a 10/12 on my top half so went with the medium and it fits fine. It's still loose enough fitting for it not to feel restrictive.

Ok thanks for that FrockyHorror,

I'll get mine ordered up tonight, once I've decided which colour to have!

Re colours I have to say I HATE pink and am really fed up that all the running gear in my local sports shop is pink or nothing for women. If you go for black it invariably has a flash of pink on it somewhere in case someone mistakes you for a man

Come on sports shops - us girls are not defined by a colour! (and purple is not the next best option)

Where are the lovely stylish greys, olive greens, all shades of blue etc?

Sorry for the rant but it really gets my goat!!

Agree! And why is there not even a black one in the graduate tops? Surely that's the ultimate default colour! :-(

I thought exactly the same. Either black or white goes with everything!

I agree, a lovely dark grey or green would be good. I've ordered the darker blue one as I always go for blue. I nearly ordered the berry one but somehow I found myself ordering blue! Can't wait for it to arrive! I'm a size 16 so I had to order XXL and I've got a horrible feeling that it won't be as loose as I would like ):

I'm an 18 and I'm interested to hear how the XXL will fit - please will you let me know when you get it?

LegionGraduate in reply toKatsmeat

Me too, so I'm really hoping that XXL(!!) is big enough. Talk about knocking the wind from your sails after feeling proud of completing c25k.

Oh dear. Now I think I might go for this colour. I'm finding this decision so tough! :-/

Not what you're looking for?
