Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
email them and ask I guess.
another FYI regarding their 'slim fit' shirts. They aren't exactly as slim as AA and other brands. The Chest measurements still the normal 18":20":22":24" (S-XL) standard like regular t-shirts. However they have shorter shoulders, sleeves, length, etc.

Epac has short shoulders, sleeves, length etc than AA or the other way around? When you said it wasn't as slim I would interpret that to be bigger for the shoulders, sleeves, etc. Can you please confirm this? I was a lil confused. Is Epac as slim as Article1?

Sounds like it could be a good middleground. I hate the sleeve sizes on standard tees for example, but I'm not necessarily looking for less in the body

So you are saying that they have shorter shoulders, sleeves, and length then a standard shirt or then an AA shirt?

Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
I would be more interested in seeing comparisons with American Apparel since this thread started as a claim to be an alternative to AA.

...they shrink too much in length. I sampled a bunch of them in XL and washed 3 of the samples. Before wash length spec is 29.5, after washing they are 26.0" (3 washes) 26.1 inches (3 washes) and 26.7 inches (1 wash). Admittedly they went through the dryer, but on medium heat.
The rest of the fit is nice and held its shape well, but that is more than 10% in length and for me that is too much.

BP
Being a smaller guy I don't mind that hehe. A more fitted t-shirt I guess lol. How will plastisol transfers look on it after a few washes though? Might be better to wash & dry the shirt a few times before applying the transfer if that's the case?
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
definitely gotta c about that, i ordered samples of each type i think im more on the "juvenile" fit tho but if they shrink that much i know id like that as well, anyone printed yet? and sorry for the comparison, up until now all ive used is jerzees, AA is still unknown here to most sellers... i just checked out a jerzees s 5050 i just made for myself and as a first wash i will say i can definitely feel it tighter, maybe AA comes prewashed if it doesnt "shrink" as much.. but it seems kinda normal for them to do this, maybe not so much but yea, ill post when i wash some pacspo definitely seem nice tho
Re: Found a really cool American Appael alternative. Anyone heard of it?
