Are you ready?
Help the DMFA Store order wisely - what size do you wear? All sizes are based off of American men's t-shirts.
We look forward to working with you!
edit:
We proudly announce the issue of another wiku-worm shirt (on a black t-shirt):
(http://www.inverteddungeon.com/Backup/Sanity_tn.jpg)
Available at Califur (June 4-6) and Anthrocon (June 24-27)!
Want to be sure that your size is available? Reserve a shirt today - PM DMFA_Store for reservations (first come, first serve. Reservations to DMFA_Store will be filled before any to other locations.)
Is it american or european sizes (it now occured to me)?
Because i have heard american L == european XL.
American - thank you for bringing that up. I've edited the first post to reflect that.
I usually buy mine a tad larger than if I can test them out, partly because I like loose clothes, and partly because you never know the real size.
You should see the sizes they use in Vietnam, I ended up buying 4X clothes there. :D
Adding actual measurements in the store might be a good thing, if they are available.
Also, what are the shirts made out of? :. I ask because 100% cotton does shrink, when you wash it, so that is something to consider with shirt sizes.
Yeah. American t-shirt sizes tend to fit quite large. I'm 5'10" and 195 lbs, and I usually wear a men's medium. Granted, I do like them a bit on the form fitting side.
Anyways... pretty cool that DMFA is finally getting a storefront. :mowcookie Any hints on what t-shirt designs will be available?
I note that I don't wear "t-shird"s at all. So I corrected the poll... ;-]
2XL, but I'm working on getting that down to just XL (my frame won't allow anything smaller than that). 65 lbs dropped so far!
hmm, now it makes more difficult thinking of L or XL - i am about 6'0' and *calculates* 230 lbs. so with respect to tezkat L should be enough, but then what if it will be short?
Any good advice? (Because my family gets most of my clothing normally due to me being stereotypical uncaring man in this respect. :blush)
XS normally, but it's hard to find, so I have them tailored down.
Give the poor store a break, guys, it's obviously not very smart ;)
Ballpark it. I'm sure several of you will be able to check in person at some cons coming up... and then they'll know more about sizes.
By the way, guys, we know from whence the account comes, and this is on the level.
Otherwise we would have already obliterated it, and mocked it thoroughly. Because we rock like that.

I'm not sure I would wear mine much, just to avoid washing it and damaging the print.
EDIT:
As for designs, I suspect a 'Gay for Abel' shirt would do pretty well, though frankly I'm such a sucker for the idea of DMFA memorabilia that I'd buy almost anything.
Ah. I was wondering when this was going to pop up.

Note that prior to this post showing up, at least two of the mods had already logged in and checked the origins of the account. Not counting the three who organised creating it...

I know, mine barricaded itself in the sock drawer....

I take small sized shirts in the european sizes.
The average male height in the united kingdom is supposed to be 5'9", and I'm 6' ... and yet almost everyone I know is a good 3 or 4 inches taller than me Dx maybe Scots are taller than other nationalities in the UK ...
... what was I talking about again?
6'2~3" 240lbs. I ish beeg Canadian. :3
XL-2XL is my usual size.
Medium, but my shirts are starting to get a little small, so I'll say large. Better safe than sorry

Maybe. I'd say it depends on where you go. On the streets around here, I'm average, leaning on smaller than many. In church, I'm taller than most, to the point that I have a good view of the area in front of the altar.
I'm 5'7", though. Last time I checked, about 1712mm, give or take a couple (it was measured on carpet, but thin stuff.) I've picked up about 4kgs recently, though, so I'm up to 64.5... that's about 140lbs.

Heh. I'd totally buy one of those. Are there going to be multiple colour offerings? I'd kinda prefer the design on a black shirt the way the original image (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_Bonus015.php) was set up.
Mind you, I'm not sure I'd actually wear it in public outside of furry cons... :animesweat
I put down Large size, but there's enough variance in actual shirt sizes that some times Medium is better.
I don't know that I would order a DMFA shirt, but there's a distinct possibility I might pick one up if Amber had them for sale at a table at a convention.

Luckily since i dislike abel, i am spared of such dillema. But then if they had a pink background Fa'lina one, it would be much the same problem.
Now seriously, if anyone cares for suggestions, Aaryana's pride dialogue ("And it's a sin you should be proud of damnit!") would be an utterly awesome design.
You know, I wouldn't mind a "Gay for Able" shirt without the accompanying text.
I kinda like more "iconic" shirts. I don't mind having shirts where I people could recognise the comic it is from, but I always like the shirt to more give a feeling or expression as to what it's about and leave it to people's imagination to make up the rest.
For instance, the only two webcomic t-shirts I bought were the ones with this design (http://www.cafepress.com/ozyandmillie/6235320) and this one (http://www.cafepress.com/elgoonishshive/280108).
Having said all that, I would wear anything with Amber's art on it.
Oh man, this is legit? HOORAY! I'd love a gay for Abel shirt. :) I can't wait to see all the merchandise.
I... have gained a lot of weight (160 pounds), so I probably need to wear an XL, but the thing is I always wear men's shirts when I'm dressing casually. They don't conform to my body shape, so I feel more comfortable.
So Men's shirts, Large.
I think that, before we all start jumping on and saying "I want a Gay for Abel shirt!" we should just wait and see if it's one of the things offered.

Heh... failure to recognize consumer demand? :mowtongue
Maybe, or maybe there's something else possibly better coming.
Keep in mind, Amber likes high quality stuff (part of the reason the calendar and and possibly other merchandise never quite moved forward), so we can't expect the designs on the shirts to be changed as easily as if it were Cafepress.
Anyway, I don't know what I was worried about in my earlier post, Amber has incredible aesthetic skill, and as Mao revealed, an interest in fashion, so whatever we get it's gonna be good.
No pressure Amber!

No, not this, I would definitely not buy this. I might buy one with Fa'Lina on it definitely, or one of the other females.
I'd take a medium sized shirt.
We need shirts based on DMFA demotivational posters...
Heck, we need DMFA demotivational posters...
Someone did one a while back with Dan hiding weapons in a dress(during the arc where he disguised himself to look like Alexsi).
I am mostly a XL but it's cause I am a big guy
For the record, as one of two people working under the "DMFA Store" heading (the other being Damaris), we have a printer for shirts lined up, as well as ideas on the first shirt to run off (and more over the course of time -- you know, so as not to overflood demand). I don't think "Gay for Abel" is on the list currentloy, but that's part of the point of threads like this: to see where demand is. I'll talk to Amber about maybe working up something soon...

One of the reasons I suggested it was because the basic design already exists and shouldn't be too difficult to redraw in a higher resolution. That and it would be amusing to see how many of them turned up at a 'con or something.
I think it's an easy design as well, at least as far as fitting it on a shirt and keeping the color count to a respectable level. As with any kind of quality shirt printing process (one where the ink doesn't immediately fade, or likely crack), you're limited in how many specific colors you can do (for instance, each shade of green is a "color" in this process), and each color about the basic limit costs more money to print, no matter how much or how little of said color is used.
Hmm, means monochrome would be good,,,,
Means there probably will be a "goth mab" t-shirt BD
We can only hope. :P Either way, I trust our scrawny, beloved little artist to come up with some pretty awesome stuff no matter what we think.
I have an old t-shirt from when Amber went to AC and had T-shirts...
IT is "Sanity is for the weak"... I wondered if that one will make a come back...

I can't imagine me wearing a T-shirt. Especially with some gaudy image on it.
Maybe a polo shirt, if it had at least one pocket, and the image was small enough to cover with the palm of one's hand.

All jokes aside though, there can be a huge size difference in clothes from small asian girls to a big fat bear of a man.
Precise measurements is a must, if you want to buy clothes online.
You have to realise it is spring now :D
The bears woke up recently and are skinny
Aww nuts, I voted "M" damn you selective reading!
In European sizes I wear Small to medium depending on the shirt. I'm a slim fit fan. baggy clothes remind me too much of my "Bad self image" period.

"Baby-doll"-cut shirts are in the plans, although I don't know that we'll have the budget for them on the first run. Damaris will have to look into that.
Check the first post for a shirt announcement!!
Okay, -that- I'd buy and wear.

Also, what happens if your reserve a shirt and then can't make the 'con?
Reservations currently are con-specific (for now). If you make a reservation, you have until noon on Con-Saturday to pick it up.
International orders will be handled once we have an official store up.
Post edited due to previous post's information.
Looking forward to the official DMFA "Feed the Ambaaargh" store :)
Guys - please send reservations to the DMFA_store account PM.
We're trying to keep all reservations in the same place, and the shirts aren't with Amber - they're already state-side.
For later on down the road(and I'm saving my coppers for it as we speak), I'd adore a Quoar Clan leader shirt--it could even look like her clan leader page with all the details. So worth every penny that's asked for it.

I'm hoping there will be an online store in the future soon.
It will definitely be sooner, rather than later. Once back from the cons, we will be taking the opportunity to restock and obtain any tax paperwork necessary. Our goal is to have an online store open by the end of the summer.

Well, They ship by US-postal service, It should go anywhere or, Fedex I think, but you will only get that info at the checkout page. Before you confirm payment.... If you paid them by Paypal or Visa/master card, you should be able to get it. You just have to make an free account...

You might have known directly. I wasn't sure whether questions about shipping the DMFA stuff would be under the auspices of the folks running the store, or Damaris and Darkmoon who AFAIK actually produced the goods (and might have the orders forwarded from RCSI and passed onto them to fulfil).
First I knew about the store was when it was announced on Amber's front page. Nowt to do with me at all.
But... whatever. Not that it's a big deal or anything. ;-]

I somehow doubt that'd be even physically possible on a shirt, considering the size of the cast. It might work, but I doubt the characters would be all that big.
On a side note, welcome to the forums. Read the rules, beware the mods, and enjoy your stay.

You'd have to do it like a school photo. Have them all stood next to each other with the short ones at the front...
But but the INK would be the problem.... Do you know How many different color you have with the whole Cast ...it is the rainbow X 10
It would cost a fortune to print even a small amount. Drive the cost per shirt to maybe $40...or more. Loook at concert T-shirts (Well that may not be a good example) they run $50-60 for any good design in full color.
PBH
Here is an idea how about four t-shirts with a different Main cast member alone....Maybe the BIO picture. on each.. And see how that one flys?
Well an easier thing to do would be to have shirts with an individual character on them head shot or body, and make them when an order is placed.
