yeah, I still also have not received mine. You probably
started from the highest tiers first, right?

[Jake]

We started from the lowest tiers but I think only the $10 and $30 have gone out.

[ysbreker]

I shall be patient and wait. (I can't wait! )

My housemate and I are both $50 backers in Australia (so $60). Is there going to be a good place to let you guys know about this so you can combine and save postage?

Send us a Kickstarter message with your info after the backer survey goes out and we'll get it sorted -- thanks for the heads up!

Just got and answered the $50 ($60 with shipping for me) rewards form. One thing I noticed is that there's no information about how large the different shirt sizes actually are, as that can vary a bit (as in one label's Small being bigger or smaller than another's Small and whatnot). Probably fine, but possibly something you might want to add for the forms still to be sent out (higher tier backers still get the shirt, right?)

I was also forced to fil out the State or Region field, which isn't really easily applicable for Sweden and probably a bunch of other countries as well. Hopefully entering my "Län" is close enough.

Here is the size chart we're using for men and the one we'll be using for women!

Just use the same size you picked for the DFA Backer T-Shirt

A rule of (ahem) thumb for those too lazy to use the sizing chart: American Apparel shirts run small (at least compared to most American sizes). Most places I'm a medium, but for AA shirts I'm a large.

Sweet, thanks! Guess I'll dig out the measuring tape and figure out what size is appropriate for me. I already filled out the form though, would it be possible to correct my size if it turns out I messed up?

I actually didn't back DFA. Shameful, I know, I'm just not big into point and click adventure games. I keep buying them and never getting far.

You'll have to send us a Kickstarter message

That makes sense, but it turns out the size I selected is the size I want so it's all good. Looking forward to getting that sweet shirt!

I'm an American Apparel extra-small for undershirts, but I decided I'm going to wear the Idle Thumbs shirt over another shirt or get fatter so I picked small.

When you stand sideways, do people still see you?

Does AA do fat bastard size shirts? Because that's the size I need.

They're definitely slimmer than the average Hanes BEEFY TEE or whatever, but they tend to be pretty long. They're kinda fitted in the shoulder area as well.

AA shirts are somewhere between your standard roomy t-shirt and a fitted t-shirt. I love them; they're far more flattering than a normal t-shirt if you get the right size. Also, if you wear t-shirts, you probably have something made by American Apparel even if you don't know it, because tons of companies use their stuff.

edit: t-shirt

edit 2: Like, if you wear graphic tees or witty internet slogan tees, you definitely have some AA shit already.

edit 3: Also, stop doing that.

[subbes]

I'm coming back into this thread to be a jerk and say that I hate Dov Charney and the AA ads make me feel physically queasy. I can unpack this more but it is basically a feminist rage-y thing and we've already got that sort of discussion going on in a separate thread.

HOWEVER I respect that it is difficult to find a t-shirt brand that is all things to all people, you have made your choice, and I have no wish to besmirch you; I am not second-guessing you or asking you to change your rewards or anything like that. It's not anger at the thumbs. Please do not take it as such.

I just had to speak my reaction to AA because if I am silent on it I'll just get an anger-ulcer or sit in the car stuffing french fries into my face while crying.

Hey Chris/Jake/Sean, is there a deadline for when you need the Backer Survey filled in by?

I'm in the $200 tier and am still trying to figure out what topic/question I should write in with. Ideally i'd like to wait till after E3 is done and the dust has settled to see if anything worth discussing came out of it that you might not normally cover.

I tried looking up American Apparel, but all I could find was a porn site with the same name.

[Erkki]

I selected a smaller T-Shirt than normally in the hopes that I will lose some more weight and it will fit me then.
