Sorry guys, don't like to do this.

I see there is already a bit of confusion about T-shirt sizes, a shame it came too late for me. I ordered an "I've been blown" T a few months ago in XXL. Now I am not particularly portly but it fits like a skinny which is not an attractive prospect - not by any stretch of the imagination is it XXL!

Sizes definitely need recategorising and larger sizes made.

Another point with it - the grey text is barely legible on the green T-shirt frown

Also I think I have worn/washed it 2 or possibly 3 times (due to it being too small frown ) and I noticed that the picture has begun to peel.

I have several free T-shirts that came with subs to PPC magazine that have been washed 20-30 times and the prints are still pristine.

I have to say that when I pay £16 (PH shop stuff is not cheap) that I expect a little more...

Hi NiceCupOfTea,

The T-shirt you have brought is a slim fit t-shirt that is the style and cut. For certian people this style of t-shirt is all they will wear for others it may not suit. It is an XXL in a slim fit style.

There are new versions of the same designs in different colours avaible in the shop, these are in classic/normal/non slim fit style.

The text not being too visible was the whole idea of it, so `I've been blown` wasnt the stand out point of the tee.

If the shirt was too small it wouldnt have been a problem to return it and we would have refunded it in full and also if the design is `peeling` off this is a manufacturing issue and we would also be able to offer a refund. If we arnt told we dont know there is a problem, all feed back is appriciated.

Regarding the price of our t-shirts, they are positioned very competitivly in the market they are by no means expensive, most places you will have to pay £20.00+ for similar products.

i hope this answer alot of the points rasied,

Dave.

Thanks for the response.

Fair point with the text colour. If I had known it was a slim fit I wouldn't have bought it - I don't remember noticing so I'm not sure how obvious it was at the time. There's an "NB" there now about it which is a good thing but I don't remember it being there before.

With regards the peeling, it doesn't look like a manu. defect, just the print is splitting and to be honest it looks you might expect a well worn T-shirt to go, I have some others that have gone like that but after many years and many washes. A bit disappointed as the PH stuff I have bought before has been better quality.

My green one is also peeling. Might be an idea to look into the printing, it's a shame, as the tee is widely regarded amongst my mates as awesome, despite having to really look hard at it to see it was once a turbo.

Going to grab a new one pretty soon anyway biggrin

I might have to start "running" a green one to see if I get the same problems. The turbo is the only T shirt in the new range that I don't wear regularly (not my cup of tea) but all the others have been worn and washed and worn and washed, and I've had none of the cracking problems that others have had.

I'll forward this to the chaps at Dread tomorrow if they haven't dropped in already.

Hi Havoc,

Very sorry to hear about the condition of your t-shirt we believe it is a t-shirt issue, the other designs printed with the same process seem ok and it only happens on random batches of the green tee.

There would have no problem ex-changing your faulty one for you, if you want to return it to us I will get a replacement sent out.

Dave.
