Futura lab tee shrink ?

[Mbrand]

Do futura lab tees shrink? I just received one. It is supposed to be a LARGE but it almost look like an XL!

EVERY t-shirt can be shrunk. wash it on warm and nuke it in the dryer.

i can only think of one possibility : grandism

[M4TM]

they've got FL tee's in Hong Kong - at exit... i've also seen them in hawaii.

too pricey, but some of the designs are nice.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

I was thinking anywhere online...

i went to Recon SF a few days ago and i was expecting FL stuff to be cheaper than Grandism but too bad it wasn't. I still think $58 for a tee is a lot. What do you think is so special about FL stuff that justifies its high price? I know some of their pants and jackets are nice but the denim is crap.

I've got an FL tee which I had to get in a large (MHI had run out of medium in the one I wanted) which looked really big, it has shrunk a bit with washing and fits great now - the quality is excellent.

[hahnstch]

for starter, the tees are made in japan. quality is excellent. some of the designs are nice too, like the pointman ones. as for their denim, anyone has seen this in flesh?

The retail price for shirts at FL is 5800 yen for a shirt. So 58 bucks is not bad.

[Mbrand]

I paid 45$ for the white pointman one @ Grandism. The cotton is quite thin but it looks high quality. Made in Japan.

JOHNMC How much did it shrunk? about half a size?

[johnmc]

Yeah about half a size, still fits quite loose but not too long.

[super]

I didn't see those FL jeans in the shop but I'll check again next time. Recon stuff is much cheaper than FL stuff at $25 per tee; too bad they were outta stock on almost all the poo-poo colors and dope designs. You can buy recon stuff from the website for the same price of $25 per tee + way better stock on tees than the retail shop's stock. They also sell brands such as Silas, W)Taps, (i think) SSUR, etc. I might just buy something from the FL line next time if the quality warrants the price paid. In unrelated news, their staff is kinda nonchalant and bored-looking. Gives me the whole "buy shit or get out" vibes.

[Mbrand]

Warm washing + 1 hour in the Dryer... The fit is perfect, The graphic is intact.

[woejozney]

so can i shrink like size m tees down to a small? Cuz i have a bunch of tees that are just a tad too big. How long will they stay small?

So it's just a hot wash and then dry them?

[Mbrand]

A 90° washing and long time in the dryer may make them loose about half a size. They should not completely recover.

Quote: $50 for any tee is way too expensive. some fl tees only have like one word on them too.

don't you know the going rate for words on t-shirts? 10 bucks a word.

[super]

didn't you read what I said earlier? Recon tees are $25 while FL is $58. I didn't see a FL tee with just "Futura" on it last time...

[misterdobalina]

you guys can try to write futura an email to convince him to switch production to mexico like recon so you connaisseurs can get those FL tees for $25.

there's so much love here, i'm sure he'll do it.

[the kid]

theres a reason why it's made in japan

and theres a reason i buy FL

and theres a certain quality that i prefer and endorse

and theres definately a correlation between these points

i dont think i've ever seen a futura product that isnt of a high calibre, thats what gives his name/branding the status it has

-the kid, props for the FL/dicexdice crew

[hahnstch]

just out of curiosity, how many of you here would prefer buying FL tee than bape and mhi, i mean all of them are about the same price (well, bape is slightly higher priced, but you should know what i mean)

[misterdobalina]

i think my sarcasm was kinda too subtle.
