    Absolutely agree! The "girls" cut is perfect, but needs to be larger. The small could fit my 5 year old! The men's cut is no good & the material sucks.

    And no, we don't need to lose weight. Some of us have boobs! ( & they are not fitting in a girls cut tee!)

    I don't have much in the boobs department, but I have huge arms and back and just a very thick torso. I'm a bit flabbier these days, but in the past even when I *weighed* less I was jacked and just couldn't get into those tiny things. Just looking at them, they look like childrens clothes.

    That's weird! I've always bought XL's to fit at shows and through 10C - you must be super trim :)

    the new soft style shirts are awesome. i'm 6' 190 (not exactly a small guy) and an L fits me fine....if you can't squeeze into an xl, it means you are fat. that is your problem, not the band's, their management's or their merch department's. it is a problem you share with most americans and you should not be looking to put the blame on outside sources.


    I'm built like a football player not a chess champ so while i could stand to loose a few pounds it wouldn't make a difference in the shirt.

    i guess you pigeon chested pencil necks with your girlie arms have no problems with the current sizing.

    Post of the morning right there! LOL!

    This has been a topic since '04, and yes, the shirts are about a size smaller than pre-VFC shirts. I'm 5'-10", 170 lbs., and they are the only concert tees I have ever bought were a XL fits so tight. I've bought XXL on the last tour to compensate, but although the fit works, they are still tissue thin.

    Not a major problem, but worth discussion. Too bad the unoffical "PJ Police" have to get involved in every conversation that doesn't worship the band.

    I've said it before, and it's worth repeating:

    The band doesn't make the merchandise, they just sell it. Speaking up about your issues with a garment is NOT a dis to the band. If you like the new shirts, feel free to praise them. But, don't tell other people they are "fat" because of an issue that has been discussed for the last 4 years. I believe it's why some shirts have size references in the "Goods" section now.

    Most of the women's concert tee's I have don't even have the name of the tour, list of city's, anything....just the band name on the front. Could probably buy these anywhere...

    would love a specific show on a tee (the girls ones too!) or at leat the tour name & year would be nice for the girls!

    right I'm totally not "dissing the band," I'm just saying the merch team may want to look into different products. hell they're the ones selling them and we're buying them. not a weird thing to comment on.

    And it's not just pearl jam, this goes for *all* concert T's I've come across in recent memory. At pretty much every show I go to, I get into a discussion about the size of the girls' tees with someone in line. The last show I went to I was standing in line by a girl a little bigger than me, slightly overweight, but nothing crazy. I asked the merch person to see an "XXL" girls shirt. Both of us were just like "yikes." when we saw it.

    Nor am I saying it's a "big issue." But let's face it, Tshirts are embedded in the arena rock experience. If you're talking about a show/tour, it's not crazy to bring it up.

    Pearl Jam's tour shirts have been crappy quality since 2004. I can still wear my Riot Act shirt from 2003. It was a Hanes T Shirt and still looks new and fits perfectly. From 2004 on, I can't wear any of them. The thin, cheap fabric shrinks so much. I didn't even bother buying one in 2006 or in Chicago last year.

    bought an XL at the Vic and i couldnt believe what utter crap the tour shirts are now...

    i will never buy another tour shirt again

    agreed, put the tour info on the girls tees, and while you are at it, why don't you make the girls tees "womens" tees instead? ... those are junior sizes!
