AWOL Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 As these will be produced in the US the postage almost doubles the price for us in the UK and elsewhere... Would it not be possible for the UKG to get them made over here to cut the postage costs dramatically? if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 They are not actually made here, Kev. They are produced in China, and then sent here to me for distribution within the U.S. For all foreign orders, they are sent directly from China to the recipient.

humperdingle Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 How much do they cost for members, out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T K[501st] Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 How much do they cost for members, out of interest? "The price and shipping cost have yet to be pinned down exactly, but they should be right about the same as the last one, which was $30.00 for the shirt, $7.00 for Priority Mail shipping in the U.S., and $26.00 First Class for international, (based on one shirt) from the manufacturer. Exact numbers will be in the official post." (http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36439-fisd-racing-shirt-run/#entry480993) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 They are made from 100% polyester, Mark. They will not shrink, and the creases in the sleeves are "perma-pressed". To be honest, it is danged near impossible to put a wrinkle in these shirts, so they look great all the time,, (even after sitting in a car for an hour wearing a seat belt). They also come with a mesh lining in the top to keep them from sticking to you when you sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 From what I have gathered from other troopers, and from my own experiences: -Smaller sizes up to a size Medium will fit true to their size. -Sizes Large and Up will fit small, so get the next size up from what you would normally wear!(Example: On average I wear a size XL tee shirt, so I would need a size 2-XL Racing Shirt) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm surprised that this isn't exclusive to 501st members. Well I just got my MEPD shirt and while it fits, it's a little snug. If you normally wear a size L t-shirt, you should get a XL. If you have a barrel chest and a thick neck like I do, it'll fit but can't get the top button done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be an approved 501st member before you're allowed to buy the shirt anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
