Aim Clothing Review: HWC Shirts, Quality & Sizing Explained

[maryhenderlite]

I am wondering if I should purchase one of the HWC shirts. Does anyone have any of the clothing from AIM? On the website, it says that clothing run small, and to expect some shrinkage.. but how much. How is the quality? Is this shirt going to last me awhile (with normal wear) or will it "fall apart" (like cheap clothing) in a few months?? If you wonderful guys and gals could give me your opinion I would appreciate it, it would help me decide on whether I should purchase this. Thanks a bunch!!!

Not sure what to tell you about the HWC materials, but I have a knit shirt that I bought from VIP when they were AIM. It's all cotton and of high quality. I also have two dress shirts from there that I've been happy with so far.

My HWC shirt arrived today and I've not opened it up yet. I ordered the largest size available, hoping it will fit me and not shrink.

The pink hat is a typical sailcloth basecall cap.

From what other people have said (I'll go find the thread for you) I decided to order the largest size I could - since they don't have mens' shirts in with HWC indicia. I just tried it on - it's, um, baggy. I'm expecting it to shrink, though.

I have the Sweatshirts in HWC and Round Up for the Heart - both are an XL although I would normally wear a L (I am a Misses size 10-12 with shoulders of a football player ). I origianlly ordered the L and had to return it for a bigger size. I bought the HWC baseball style t-shirt,too (3/4 length sleeves) in a 1X. It didn't shrink a lot, and fits loosely, which is fine with me! I could have purchased it a little smaller, but I appreciate the extra room!

I've got plenty of room in the pink shirt in case I ever decide to start going to shows in drag.
