Re: 20th Birthday Tshirts & Design

Hi all,

is there any chance that at least a few of these t-shirts could be fitted
rather than straight cut? Even 1 each in S, M and L would be great. I feel
that we've been making good progress over the years to provide better
quality and more diverse t-shirts to our community. Excluding a cut which
is more suited to curvy people feels like a huge step back as it excludes a
portion of attendees who we've been wanting to make feel welcome.
