Arrived today, quality is superb but I've once again ordered the wrong size for me...should have gone large as xl looks like a sail on me. Serves me right for putting 2 stone on and realising large should fit but it won't button and that shouldn't be considered for t-shirts!

I'll be tumble drying this a couple of times before I wear it as a good top.

Excellent piece of clothing though and still chuffed to have got one. If there is another run, I'll be ordering another in a different colour (and size) so that I've a selection to chose from!

I did the same. I’ve got loads of the same make shirt in the same size but this one is massive! But I’m only ever gonna get fatter so it’ll fit perfect in about six months.

Weird that it's bigger than other Gildan tees.
You could always start a swaps thread, but then if they are unusually large, you might not find many who ordered an L and wished they'd gone XL.

Came back from a work trip last night to find mine had arrived while I was away. Good fit and they look great.

Thanks again Alex!

2 days and no posts - I'd call that a win.
Last I knew a Canadian order still hadn't arrived from the first batch - I'll try and see if that's still the case.

Despite my concern of it being too big, it is comfy. Glad I got it.

A few hours strimming this morning followed by a casual road ride and then home for a shower. Fall over a t-shirt that had arrived in my absence. Thanks again Alex, about to wear it down the pub to listen to the latter half of F1 quali.

Is listening to F1 more exciting than watching it? Cos it’s like watching paint dry at the moment

Mine arrived in black M.

It's made for a 13 year old child. I'd say someone 70kg roughly.

You can have it for free just post up and it's here for an active contributing member completely free.

The difference between then xl I got and this is quite dramatic, but hey ho. All yours, throw me a PM and I'll post Monday ,

You're about right, my M fits fine and I’m around 70kg. I haven’t been 13 for about 37 years though

M for me is a good fit at 61kg. My only complaint is that the wheel hubs don’t line up with my nipples.

Mine has suffered from Mrs S not knowing the difference between Flash with bleach and Shout. It now has bleached armpits and a couple of marks front and back.

"Just buy another one then".

Nope it was a one-off.

So buy another. . .

Repeat to fade.

I'm sure there'll be another run one day - when I'm not so busy with everything.
Probably sept/oct

Need to do the accounts now!

No worries if it doesn’t happen Alex. I know that for a brief period I had an unique shirt.

Assuming you've not thrown it away your "global hypercolour" alike version is unique

Even though I've been a designer for 25 years, it never gets old seeing your stuff out in the wild! Thanks all!

I've had the most hectic summer ever - converting a van to a campervan while being self-employed is no joke!
Anyway, I've just returned from our first holiday in it and things can calm down a little (although there is still loads and loads to do on it and need to knuckle down to earning some money too).

Anyway - Hopefully towards the end of the week, I'll have time to compile all the receipts, paypal reports, etc and donate to Mountain Rescue. It should be over £450 judging by my rough calcs.

The accounts are in and the donation has been made!

I've asked Mountain Rescue to confirm receipt of the funds in some kind of social media post so that you all don't have to take me at my word for a change...

Thank you to everyone who voted, supported, came up with the ideas, bought a t-shirt, etc.
You helped raise what I think is a pretty healthy £602.11

Anyone else's getting longer and slacker (and slightly more oval-wheeled)?
I keep having to stretch mine out. I haven't noticed on my other tees from Gildan, but they don't feature circles 🙂

Really glad you're all still enjoying yours!

Great job Alex! Brilliant idea and yes mine is altering shape, I initially put it down to humidity of being on holiday in Borneo, clearly not!

Cracking stuff Alex. A huge amount of effort put in to this by you (and your little helpers!). I for one am very appreciative.

Still wearing mine at every opportunity and fantastic to see so much going to a cause that's so deserving. Along with the RNLI I think mountain rescue are very much taken for granted by the British public. Very glad to have contributed to this (and to have a couple of very niche t-shirts!).

Thank you.

Ha! - Since I posted this, I've had several emails asking if there's going to be another batch.

Well, I could well be tempted once I've got a bit of breathing space from work work and campervan converting. I still haven't had time to catalogue any of the work I've done on that!

Maybe in the spring.

(not really).

I'll probably do another run in the spring.
Probably the same tee. Maybe in fewer colours (to reduce the headache!)

BTW the donation equals an average of 1/3 of the £10 tee going to Mountain Rescue (£3.34) which I was very happy with.

I'll have one on the next run please. £3.34 per T is great and well done with that. Better ratio than a lot charity donations.
