T-Shirts from the official site: How do they fit?

I was thinking about buying one of the shirts from the official DMB site (the bottlecap one), but they only have S, M, and XL. I normally wear a large, sometimes medium, and was just wondering how these shirts fit. Would the XL be way too big? Would the medium be too small?

    they shrink a lot and the collars stretch out a ton. Just get the XL, wash it and put it in the dryer on hot and it should fit fine after that

    How are the shirts from the official store? Are they worth buying or are they junk?

    Get the XL. They are usually small, 100% of the time, all the time.

    I've had better quality shirts, but they aren't bad. Look cool too. Definitely worth it to buy one.

    they run small so buy the next biggest size to compensate.

    They almost always shrink. Although, there is one brand of shirts that they buy from time to time that are actually big. If you're looking at a tour shirt for this year though, they will shrink. Go a size bigger.

    always way to small for me, usually a large fits me from everywhere but never from the band's store. half the shirts i spent way to much money on all don't fit me, sort of a waste

    They shrink. A lot. You'll be good with an XL I'd say.

    yeah I would get a size bigger. I usually wear a large so I got a 2008 tour shirt last year in large and its tight as hell on me now so I just lounge in it but I got the 09 shirt this year at the Bristow show and I've dryed it about 3 times now and it fits pretty good. They're kind of flimsy though. But I'm happy with em. Theyre not bad shirts.

    P.S. Does anyone have the 2008 summer tour shirt in a xl. I cant find it anywhere online??

    Hmm... My size is XL but my DMB size is L. Some L shirts (LT13 shirts) are too big for me.
