Post MISHKA tees
Hey folks, I want to buy some tees from the MISHKA store, but I have a real problem with tee shirts fitting all sorts of ways but the right way. For instance, anyone get the ULTRAPOP 2-Head Bemon shirt? Very sweet shirt, and I figured a LARGE would do me fine. It fits, but teetering on the edge of not fitting. On the other hand, a shirt from UPPER PLAYGROUND in a LARGE fits perfect. Has anyone any advice on sizing of MISHKA? Do they run smaller or larger?

The Ultrapop tee wasn't on a Mishka blank.

Mishka shirts tend to run a little bigger. The Ultrapop blank, is slimmer.

Future if you got a Mishka large I believe you'd be safe, but size is always subjective.

For future sizing reference,

Ultra Pop shirts= Hipster Tight, Mishka Shirts=Hip Hop Tight.

Mishka shirts have a really nice fits. Not ridiculously tight, but not baggy either. I really don't like it when shirts have super wide fits, especially when they're wide and short, but Mishka's stuff is great.

Girls normally ask the seller for the measurements shoulder to shoulder, bustline (chestline for you guys :P ), and waist (or bottom of t-shirt). I suppose you could ask Mishka to give you the measurements of a Large t-shirt, then compare it to one of your own that fits correctly.

Actually, the blanks I used for the most recent UP shirts were on an anvil blank, which when compared to a mishka shirt of the same size were only about 1/2" shorter and about the same width. Please let me know if some of you were unhappy with the fit and I will look at a different blank when printing the next style (which I think you will be stoked about when you see it). I do find that UpperPlayground, Mishka, etc are a more generous blank. I can sport a mishka shirt in size small as long as it doesn't shrink up on me, mediums tend to be a little big. I also wash all my t-shirts in cold water (inside out) and dry on low so the screen prints will last longer and the fit stays consistant.

I felt the UP shirts were perfect in sizing for me.
I'm not into the AA tight fit and I'm over the looser fit shirts.
Most important of shirts to be are:
- tight collar that doesn't stretch out
- shirt doesn't shrink in length
- a heavyweight cotton

I kind of dig a lighter material, it feels like it breathes more. Thicker can be nice (Mishka stuff is pretty thick), but if you're wearing it under a rider's jacket or something its nice to have a little bit thinner, more fitted shirt.

Yeahyeah, you just like to show off the guns in your tight shirt :lol:

Seriously, thanks to Joe and Scott I now print only on Allstyle Apparel, they have a pretty perfect fit.
