So heres a question, how do you guys know what size to get?

i'm the kinda person who has to try things on before i buy it. I also work in clothing retail too so i see alot of good stuff, and also alot of bad stuff.

but what i'm wonderin is that theres alot great websites out there that sell some preety awesome lookin stuff. now i allways wear a medium. and sometimes they fit tighter than they should, and sometimes they fit way way bigger than they should. what do you guys do about that? just order a shirt, and hope the size you ordered fits properly? cause i doubt you could return it after you tried it on. probably be more of a hassle than anythin.

Just wonderin guys. what do you do about sizing?

Its pretty much by how well you know the brand.

Say The Hundreds uses AAA blanks, so I would go with how I fit with AAA tees. Several other brands uses AAA blanks, so my sizing for that is fit.

If a brand uses American Apparel brand, then I would go with my experience with that brand.

But I say, if you have a store that stocks up on the clothes you're looking for, go try it on. Not only if you're supporting your stores, but hey, you get to interact with people too.

Ordering something that does not fit well, is one of the major flaws of online shopping. However, buyers take on this risk because we hope that we are getting a good deal on an item, or that we are purchasing something that we cannot find anywhere else.

Obviously, we all plan on recieving something that fits perfectly, but realistically this cannot happen every single time. I, too, have been the victim of recieving items that do not fit well, or even fit at all. So, it is a price we must pay for sucummbing to our shopoholic tendencies.

I need to cut up my own credit card. The problem is, Paypal already has my information on file.

luckily for me, i have a pretty large window as to what i consider something fitting decent. so about 98% of the time my purchases are justified. however, i do know of a few companies that have weird cuts on their shirts, so i just don't order from those companies.

im not that anal about the fitting. I never really tried on anything I just buy it.
Like jeans, I wear anything from 33-36 (depend on the brand and style)
Sweater and shirts is always a Medium.
Suit & blazer is always 40R.

Easy stuff mang.

It is about knowing the brand and the way their sizes run like said above.but you also have to take chances sometimes.well for ordering online that is,buying in stores is obliviously alot easier,but online if you don't know the brand and the way they fit,either ask around somewhere,or just take a chance with the size.

great info everyone. Jones I was just curious what other brands use AAA blanks because i've still never bought a hundreds shirt or had access to see any because theres no steetwear shops where I live. So maybe I have another and dont realize it. Thanks
