@Thumperchick Love is a beautiful thing

@awk They got bought out and aren’t USA made anymore.

@awk Nice giphy- it kinda suits you

@WTFsunshine
/giphy UnAmerican

@okeefen
Agreed

@smigit2002 Probably. At least for their 100% cotton shirts, the women’s sizes are even narrower than AA’s, albeit hourglass shaped, not straight cut like AA.

For men’s, they are very close in their cut.

@narfcake Thanks!
/giphy problematic-gentle-ravioli

Oh my god, that is so cute!

@smigit2002 All I know is I’ve bought like 5 MEH shirts and NONE of them were the same size. One fits great, two are way too big (for a large), and one was extremely small. Women sizes are even more hit or miss. I’d love it if they stuck to one brand, and had accurate sizing information.

@KCFalcon59 DIY tagless. Most Next Level shirts have tearaway tags, though if this is older stock, it may be woven and you’d want to use scissors.

@KCFalcon59 Does that mean in 2018 you are going to refer to tagless shirts as “so 2017?”

@mflassy size?

@mflassy tic toc

@emanonR

Men’s medium.

Black.

@mflassy i used to be you

@cinoclav Should fit like AA. At least all my TeeTurtle shirts do and they’re Next Level.

@narfcake my next level and tee turtle shirts are bigger than my AAs except for my tee turtle in green, that one is smaller.

@RiotDemon Weird. All mine in men’s large have been pretty close to one another.

@narfcake so I made a mistake. My TeeTurtle shirt is smaller than my Next Level. At least the one I grabbed to take some photos below. My Next Level is definitely bigger than my AAs though.

and can I get a dot on each nipple please

@medz this size is called NE

@Yoda_Daenerys lame. Why they trick us so?

@studerc ahhh but has your underwear and sock collections caught up to that? Otherwise…

@mfladd

@mflassy That’s better.

@mossygreen TeeTurtle uses Next Level. They fit like AA shirts.

@narfcake Thanks!

Ok! Finally a giphy not from TWD!

@baqui63 Now you lose my giphy star. I liked the house one.

@mfladd I for one think it’s relevant. Spreading your legs is a quick way to get rid of those pesky obligations.

@Pantheist The waist? Wait, you know what, I don’t want to know.

@ShotgunX yes, the waist is the part of the human body above the hips and below the ribs.

@Pantheist No one ever sees it. I get so many comments when I wear my meh shirts. Usually it’s, “that’s how I feel today.” Then I explain it’s also a web site and have to pull up the web address on the bottom for people to see.

@Pantheist So according to you, the logo is below the ribs in the photos?

@cinoclav That’s fair, but I’d know it was there…

@ShotgunX

@cincoclav I guess this proved your point.

@Pantheist Ooh, you were talking about that. I just saw the “Meh” and not the entire link, so something got lost in translation.

Wait, that’s still not really the waist though…

@Pantheist just cut the bottom part off. Problem solved.

Based on narfcake’s vast knowledge of t-shirts and the size chart for this specific line 2many2no posted below, I think I’m jumping out. The size chart I looked at by googling was different and not specific to this line.

@SSteve Actually, that’s a pretty damn good idea… I’d be willing to buy one in almost any color (except yellow) if the price was right.

@SSteve I mean, I hate polos, but at the same time I’d probably buy two.

Seriously though, I’d love a windbreaker.

@SSteve YES!

@SSteve You’re doing it wrong. Everyone knows t-shirts are meant to be stored in a loose pile on top of a stack of boxes you totally intend to take care of someday.

@clarinetbob It’s not 100%. It’s tri-blend – cotton/polyester/rayon.

@narfcake While we all know that it’s tri-blend, we also know that the specs state both “100% Polyester” AND “50% polyester/25% combed ring-spun cotton/25% rayon jersey” and this frightens us.
As a community.

@mossygreen In that case, blame @kidsandliz @dave.

@narfcake Can do!

@clarinetbob Next Level brand is better than AA. Trust me. I’m a fabric connoisseur.

@clarinetbob and since it’s a synthetic shirt and the size/fit is unknowable at this time, if you overshoot your size know that you can’t wash it in hot water and throw it in the dryer to shrink it.

@dave
3. Catshirts.

@hems79 Hey, sorry I tried to fix your /image command and it didn’t work - also, it changed your cute gif to this one.

@WTFsunshine
I like the other giphy of the bully getting payback.

@hems79 I did too but I had to edit and I lost it.

@sjk3 Pockets!?

@sjk3

So…

If you have underwear with pockets, do they become t-shirts?

@mfladd

@phatmass

They actually look like that in real life though.

@phatmass That’s because they have NOT been printed yet. We order, meh figures out how many of what color/sizes, and then they’re printed.

@narfcake sounds lazy.

@phatmass Sounds like common sense. Otherwise they’d be stuck with too many of one size and too few of another.

@narfcake

@Brasssong It’s not that simple.

@narfcake You’re assuming that they’d have to print the entire order just to get a couple of shirts to take pictures of. It’s pretty simple actually. Print 4 shirts. Take pictures of them. Wait for people to order. Print all shirts ordered.

@phatmass The birthday shirts looked a lot different than the mock-up so my guess is no, they can’t.

@phatmass No it’s not simple. You’re asking the shop to go through and expose the screens, set them up to print, get the ink mixed, print FOUR shirts, take the setup down, and have to set it back up again in a week? How much extra are you paying?

That’s not the way screen printing normally works. This is especially not the way to do it when it’s not their facility, which I suspect as such because they’re not fully built out at HQ#2 yet.

If I had to guess, either meh is using the same print shop as before or they’ve contracted it to TeeTurtle to print them up when they’ve got a “slow week” of only printing like 10k shirts.

@narfcake 1. They are going to have to expose the screens at some point, so lets move on to your next objection… 2. It takes like 5 minutes to setup a screen on a press, next… 3. Ink mixed? You’re kidding right. You don’t have to mix black and white ink. It already comes in those colors out of the bucket… Go home, you’re drunk. Just admit that Meh is lazy. No excuse not to have actual pictures of real shirts instead of photoshopped mockups–except, laziness.

@phatmass almost nobody prints shirts to take a picture of like that, it’s not cost effective. Even big companies. Especially for something stupid simple like a single color logo on a solid shirt. You pay a lot of labor, waste ink, have to do cleanup, and disrupt your printers from doing meaningful jobs that will make you far more money than anyone will pay you to do a sample of their upcoming run, never mind 4 of them. Plus you have to order in the sample run of blanks which since you’re just buying single pieces won’t get you any kind of volume discount, never mind a meaningful one, and it gets even worse.

I used to work in the industry, you’d be surprised how many companies don’t even bother to convert their Photoshop files to flattened images before throwing them up in their media repositories. And boy, you wouldn’t believe the retouching they do either, some of the files I saw over the years had whole sections of garments either Photoshopped together out of ‘whole cloth’ or wrinkles smoothed into oblivion with the clone stamp tool, it was kind of amazing to look at some of the files. I’m talking serious brands here too, companies like Nike, New Balance, Patagonia, etc.

Hell, Patagonia was almost the worst if you ever looked at one of their actual catalogs. They didn’t even put photos of the garments, they had vector drawings of a sweatshirt, say, then masked in a fabric ‘swatch’ behind the lines. Clone and replace swatch for each color.

@jbartus blah blah blah. I know plenty of printers who’ll print a single shirt for $7 + $25 setup fee. If Meh can’t dish out $32 to show me a real picture then I don’t want a shirt.

@phatmass those would almost certainly be direct on garment printing shops which would not provide an accurate depiction of a screen printed shirt. Thanks for taking the time to give my reply a thoughtful response though. “Blah blah blah” was very informative. I’ll remember next time not to “bother you” with the facts.

@jbartus blah blah blah was the most thoughtful reply I could think of as it described my reaction to your response perfectly. I think honest replies are the most thoughtful. I had a screen printing setup in my garage for over ten years and have printed thousands of shirts. I’m not speaking out of my arse.

@phatmass a small time operator working out of their garage has very different cost structures from the kind of print operation Meh is almost certainly dealing with. If making $32 was enough to get you to go to all that effort that’s all well and good but most print shops don’t want to be bothered. The time can better be spent setting up a 10,000 shirt run.

@jbartus what is preventing Meh from hiring a small time operator to print 4 shirts? Don’t answer. I already know. Laziness.

@jbartus why do you hate Amaerica?

@therealjrn what? O.o

@phatmass one man’s laziness is another man’s pragmatism.

@mfladd Awww, fuck! I was so busy answering questions I thought it was for the hour!

@narfcake oh no!

@Thumperchick On the other hand, the odds of me running out of shirts to wear is even smaller than Windows Phone’s market share.

@narfcake @Thumperchick I missed a shot at the fuko because of it.
Oh, who am I kidding? I will NEVER get fuko.

I think they are real. I just can’t prove it.

@mfladd TBH, I didn’t even try at all today. I still thought I was going to buy a shirt.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably for the better, really. One less meh shirt, one more catshirt instead.

@narfcake i thinks odds and market share have different units of measurement

@narfcake Shirts are on Morningsave!

@sammydog01 @narfcake

https://morningsave.com/deals/meh-shirt-3

$12 if I sign up for the $2/month shipping. Hmmm…

@mflassy $10.80 shipped if you have VMP.

@nadroj Timed out.

@sammydog01 oh well, off to bed then

@nadroj Good call.

@nadroj Available on Morningsave today- $10.80 since you have VMP. if you still want one.

@RiotDemon XL vs XXL.

@narfcake that was my point. The Next Level is an XL versus AA is XXL and they fit the same.

@RiotDemon Possible mislabel on the NIN blank? It happens from time to time.

I can vouch that TT predominantly uses the Next Level 3600 for the men’s. They used to for the women’s (petite) until changing over to Live and Tell a couple years ago, as they offered a wider range of women’s sizes.

@narfcake suppose so, or it was a different style blank all together.

@narfcake found a size chart for the model number they gave:

https://www.ssactivewear.com/p/next_level/6010

@cinoclav I never even got to the “trying it on” part. I’m too old to be wearing a see-through shirt, so I just tossed it into the back of a drawer. Yeah, I hope they don’t sell any more of this kind.

@cinoclav I didn’t order it because I wasn’t sure about the quality and then caved the next day on MorningSave. Now I hope it gets lost in the mail.

@sammydog01 For your sake, I hope it gets lost in the mail, too.

@Barney I like the material. It doesn’t fit because I ordered the wrong size. Oh well.

@sammydog01 I’ve pretty much decided that my T-shirt buying days are over. But that’s okay, I have enough to last me several lifetimes and then some.

@phatmass Yes- I want a Meh sweater. And I want for my bra to not show with a t-shirt.

@sammydog01 just don’t wear a bra. That’ll fix it.

@RiotDemon I’ll just hoist up my elastic waistband and use that for support instead. (I tried to find an image for that and now I have to go scrub out my eyes.)

@sammydog01

@RiotDemon
/giphy did I do that?

@mfladd You know I’m not travelling thousands of miles to find it at your local store, right?
