Drew Estates Store - BAD FIT SHIRTS

[BoSox55]

Just received T shirts from new Drew Estate web store. Ordered XXL (I'm 6'4" and 240 lbs) and received items marked XXL. Actual size appears to be around Large at best (I looked like stuffed sausage but they fit my 13 year old). OK so things happen and quality control screws up BUT don't ignore me when I write to customer service with problem. Don't care about the $$$ and my kid likes the shirts BUT not responding back just burns my a**. Suspect that this is major problem for them as I noticed a price reduction on one item "due to some size discrepancies"...

Am I gonna stop smoking LP#9 & T54 lines to get even? Hell no - they are some of the best smokes around. Just hoping this message catches the eye of Jonathon Drew so he's aware of problem. Met him couple months ago at Long Island event and he's cool dude. Sorry for the rant but interested if any other brother with same issue?

I just ordered some shirts yesterday... I'm about the same size.... CRAP! Even had to ship them to another state b/c they can't do Florida sales...

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yeah, we picked up a couple of these while in Nic, we were told to go bigger. So, I have a flying pig and dirty rat shirt that say 3xl and like you said, right maybe for some Chinese where they are from but not us Americans, more like a large. So, they have never been worn.

I'm sure it's because the shop on their website is new they are just working out the kinks. There customer service is top notch and I'm sure they will get back to you on this and make it right.

Received flying pig shirt yesterday have same problem. 6'2" 250 XXL just too small
fits like an xl. . Never worn just
tried on and washed.

THE SHIRT HAS FOUND A NEW HOME

I where an XL but sometimes have to do a XXL just to get the sholders, arm and neck to fit right. I have a broad upper body always have so alot of shirts never fit me right without trying on first. I'm middle aged and heavy now but had this issue even when I was young and wore Mediums. Maybe it's because most of the younger guys these days have the build of women. I swear the testosterone level has dropped since the 80's.

Good luck brother - let me know how you make out. Shirts are very cool except for the size problem. I ordered the Joya de Nic & Liga Privata shirts.

Something is going on with clothing in general IMHO.

I bought shirts at target the other day - XXL and I could swear they were really L. There is this thing that is called athletic fit which if you are gay or a pro wrestler you might want to wear these, but at my line backer build, I think not.

Sadly, I am just fat.

I found the same thing with Tat shirts as well, XL fit like an extra medium. Being in the Tee Shirt biz I can say it mostly the shitty quality of shirts being used! To cut corners and maximize profit they are using the cheapest shirt they can find.

Thanks Jet-Rod for passing the shirt my way, I think I can wrangle up some nice quality XXL's to send back :riflefire

I'm 6'3" 230lbs. I have trouble finding shirts LONG enough, width isn't as much of a problem. I hate when they are short though.

Just got the FP and the LP9 shirts on Friday, I didnt even check them for fit, hopefully they are close.... I dont want to be another "Flexin J".

 

[MU Mike]

I guess I'll be the contrarian here as I think most shirt manufacturers (golf shirts and dress shirts in particular) make everything way too big. Shirts fit like beach towels now; short sleeves past your elbows and shoulder seams at your biceps. It looks, and fits, terrible.

As for t-shirts, I don't wear them often so I can't speak to them.

I'm 5'11" 175 though, so take that for what it's worth.

 

[Soundwave13]

There is at least a 2+ T-shirt size discrepancy - I have a really cool Liga 3x shirt that I look like a sausage in.

(I can get away with 1x Gildan 50/50, but prefer a 2x).

We hear you loud and clear. We have a list of the people who bought shirts and we will get each of you squared away just right. Sorry for the sizing issue, as the shirts are acutually made in Nica (so I believe).

Now in regard to the shirt quality, I would have to say that they are good quality shirts, and not looking to cut corners on shirts, for gds sake. Lol.

Maybe for a few days, you'll see the shirts taken down as we resize them.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and like I said, we will replace missizes and get the shirts correctly labeled on the web.

I have to say, there was no doubt in my mind people would be taken care of.

Looking forward to you guys getting them sorted out. I was looking at picking up a LP9 shirt, but I'll wait til the sizing is fixed up and then place my order.

Thanks for updating us, JD. Much appreciated!

Thank heaven's I hadn't ordered yet... but I was ready to yesterday then found this post.

Glad to hear JD is sympathetic to us fatties... here's hoping he can find a 6x in Nica that he can resize to a 3x for us!!

 

[BoSox55]

Since I started this thread, I'll finish it by saying Jonathon Drew IS A STAND UP GUY!!!!!!

Just received a notice from DE customer support that I can exchange for larger size. Now if we can just get him to rush along more new cigars types and blends to feed our smoking monsters........
