What shirt sizes qty-distribution do you order for your competitors?

what percentage of S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL?

looking at a mens A, B, C, Master, Womens (Flagstaff) ~40 people.

Im guessing: 2, 5, 10, 10, 10,6, 2

I don't think we'd ever order a small. At Glasgow Lands in 2006, for 27 athletes we had

M: 4
L: 3
XL: 8
2XL: 9
3XL: 3

and at Pipes in the Valley in 2005, for 21 we had

M: 5
L: 4
XL: 6
2XL: 4
3XL: 1

Both of these orders were based on requested sizes (plus some guesswork). The M are all for women, and the L for some women and a couple of lightweights. If you can find 2X long, I suspect you'd make a few people very happy, because some of our guys get 3X for the length, rather than girth.

Thanks for the feedback Wayne hope you are well.

Had a friend who fiberglasses tubs for a living do the Mesa Pro caber, it was a monster that nobody turned but Ryan V. said not to cut it. I have a feeling it will be with us for a while and through a nuclear holocost. We had different techniques and mine was a little more modest on the resin, but both ways seem to work. Ive got to get the travelling cabers done soon.

Agree with comment about long t-shirts in the 2x & 3x sizes.

For those with a belly, normal t-shirts are too short to cover the belly -- If worn, some throwers start looking like a beer bellied bearded cross dressing biker dolled up like a skid row Madonna at a Halloween drag party - A few have been known to spontaneously start singing "like a virgin"! Not a pretty site for a family event! Can you skip the visuals?

Curious Question -- What were the specs on the fiberglass caber? length? weight?
