question for those who bought shirts, etc from the website

We're getting ready to buy our merch here - wondering how the sizes run on the t-shirts - are they pretty much standard 'hanes' sizing, do they run small, or ... ? Thanks in advance.

If you purchase through cafe press, does the money go to Bernie's campaign? Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #5

My husband got an ex-large and it fits pretty well. I always give tee-shirts and sweatshirts a few horizontal and vertical tugs when they come out of the dryer since anything with cotton seems to shrink a bit after laundering. Hope this helps.

it was from his website. Is there a place set up here to buy his merchandise? Not as active at posting here as I once was, but I AM supporting Bernie and have been since way back when!

a medium white T.

It's very well made...seams are perfectly straight, printing is great.

BUT it's a VERY straight up and down shape (plenty long)...even on me (I'm pretty darned "trim"...5'9" and about 150, maybe). It feels tight through the lats...it works but just feels tight.

I would definitely get a large next time.

I may get one from Café Press...they have a 20% off coupon good through the 31st. I also want some of their magnetic stickers for my car.

Or at least I doubt it.

Just people that come up with designs and sell their wares.

I want a couple of baseball and trucker hats as well as those magnetic car stickers, as those types of items aren't currently at the Bernie store.

I'll go up a size for both of us just for comfort. (I do the same thing with cottons fresh out of the dryer - stretch them out a little bit and dry 'em on low to boot)

Sorry for the confusion; I did mean at the sanders website, not here at DU.

I haven't checked out cafepress or any other site; wanted to make sure that any proceeds go to the campaign so want to buy there first.

Thanks again - I'm off to shirt-shop!

I'm hoping folks will get their Bernie store stuff a bit faster, as they took down the coffee mugs. Those mugs seemed to be slowing orders down.

I now see that the store has added much better sizing information! They have also added a notation "May Run Small".

Blue shirt is currently in stock...white and pride are 2-3 weeks for delivery.
