Block print is definitely cool, though I do wish the imperfections on mine weren’t so prominent at the front center and next to the embroidery :confused:

Any idea on a fix to make it look less like a painting accident? That’s the only spot like that. 202492E9-AF58-4A49-8F50-BEABE8A9FBF0.jpeg

Mine is similar (although it’s not right near the embroidery) but I love the “painted” look.

yeah I like the vibe, just wish it was somewhere else and not right where your eyes go when you look at the shirt.

If you or someone you know knows how to embroider by hand, you could use some black thread and stitch a little flower or grass tuft on top of the extra dye. Could even do the same on the opposite side of the main graphic to make it symmetrical. If that doesn't work, you could see if a local screen print/embroidery shop would be willing to do something similar for you. I think it could look pretty cool!

in that case, I'd embrace the imperfection. that's kind of the beauty of a hand-printed garment, imo. that smudge shows that someone printed your shirt by hand. might even start up a conversation about it. at any rate, I am here to provide a loving forever home to anyone's XXL which isn't working out for them lol.

Man... so bummed I mis-sized the rugby. What an incredible piece! I'm between a large and an XL and, based on the measurements, I went for the large. I should've known better. It fits, but I want it looser. Selling my large in the BST thread. Or, looking to trade for an XL.

Oh no, that probably means I did too…

Yeah dude... you and I seem to be roughly the same size. XL was the way to go here. I'm really bummed. This is seriously one of the coolest 18 East pieces and I can't believe I mis-sized on it.
I had that feeling when I saw @platinumtooth fit. My ideal ptp is normally 24.5-25” so I figured the large would work, is it slimmer than that in hand?
