CRAP!!!

I checked, and apparently misread the size chart, and ordered a size too small. I've ordered a 2XL in the past (fit awesome BTW) but a recent 2XL purchase came out funny-baggy. When I checked the size chart this time the "Honduras / Nicaragua" stood out to me, so I ordered a size smaller not thinking that the mens might be printed on one batch of blanks and the womens on the other.

Maybe this in an incentive to work out more...

I "love" this shirt!

Unless you got expedited shipping you should be able to contact service@woot and up the size.



I did vote for this one. But I guess I lied about it being a purchase, ultimately it isn't something I see myself wearing. It was good for a laugh though, so thanks for that. I also liked the write up, I think it fits the art well.

I "CAN'T" see "AIR QUOTES" without being reminded of "BENNETT BRAUER"

This was all I could think of when I saw this shirt, so I drew it.

I'm a sucker for Poe. In for 1

No, but the older sizes for women's shirts were kind of ridiculous. A WXL, for example, was close to the same size as a MS. Now, according to the new size chart, a WXL is actually pretty close to a ML/MXL, which means I finally get to buy cool shirts that will fit me properly! :D

but it means, for me, there are no shirt sizes that fit me. I wore a WM and the new WS is larger than the old WM. I definitely would have bought this shirt.

Oh, I see. Well, I certainly feel where you're coming from, as far as sizing issues go.

The only thing I can suggest is that the diff between an old WM and a new WS is only 1/2 an inch, which isn't much, when you think about it. The ML (which I used to get) is an inch smaller than the new WXL (which I get now). I was considering washing it in warm, but that might shrink it too much? Who knows? Not me. :P

OR, and here's a thought, shirt.woot could offer a WXS (and maybe a WXXL, for that matter), the better to more fully reflect & accommodate the wide variety of ladies who love their awesome shirts & want to look good in them.

One thing to watch out for when wearing this shirt is making quotes with your fingers.

My young daughter saw the pic and immediately said, "crowtation marks."

Got a weakness for birds and this is just two "punny" to pass up! Still a bit confused on sizing. Normally buy the MXL to sleep in and bum around the house! Bought a WL, 'cause I'd like to wear it with jeans for a change. Hope it works! Great shirt!

I wanted this shirt SO BADLY, even though I was 100% sure it would be printed on Anvil shirts that don't fit me. My soul cries on behalf of all beanpole-sized, Poe-loving lit nerds everywhere.

My maiden name is Raven. My Fantasy Football team is named Quoth the Raven - therefore I think this will be a definite on draft day! I picked up one for myself and one for my mom

I have the Nevermore t-shirt and hoodie already

Seriously? I also wore a WM. I didn't think I would mind it a bit bigger, so I went with the same size. But if a WS is bigger than the old WM then it will be huge.

Maybe it will shrink after washing? Hopefully ??

Debut day: 1045, on a mix of AA for men and imported Anvil for women and kids.

Punny -- illustrated with great attitude. Nice to see a little humor in the poetry mix.

I'm so glad this one printed. I love The Raven, I love witty puns so this shirt is a win-win for me. I'm hoping it'll get out of the Reckoning too. I'd like to see it stick around for awhile.

I am so hesitant about ordering the new Anvil sizes but for this shirt I will take the chance.

Would love my shirt more if I had been sent the size I ordered.

if they've already starting printing Reckoning slate shirts on Anvil, how can this one be on AA? Is "Air Quoth" REALLY on AA for Men's sizes??? Guaranteed, Woot???

I got my ML shirts today, and they are on AA. I may have to order more. I love this shirt.

You and me both.

I ordered WL, and received just a plain ol' L.

Grumble.

I guess the sizes changed; it is actually a WL, but the little logo is gone from the tag and these sizes run MUCH larger than the old ones. Before you order you have to double-check the size chart (even if you have ordered before) to see if it's the old sizes (that they're phazing out) or the new ones.

Am I the only one that thinks Nixon?

Does it have to do with that same raven poem by Poe? Is it because the bird spoke the word nevermore, or is it supposed to read "crow"? I'm missing something.
