What can you tell me about Goodjoe shirts and sizing?

May 9, 2012 10:18 PM

When @narfcake mentioned Goodjoe t-shirts on another thread, it was the first I'd heard of them. I have my eye on one of their shirts as a gift, but couldn't find anything about the brand of shirt they use for their prints. Normally I wouldn't think much about it, but having recently purchased my first shirt.woot Anvil, I am looking for better.

I did find a size chart, but it would be helpful to get impressions about fit (boxy, neck size, etc.) and cloth weight/finish.

It was the first I had heard of them as well, so I don't have personal experience to share... It appears as though it may depend on the design you're choosing.

I'm looking at several and one says its printed on Hanes it seems as though women's run small and this site has a review stating the default brand is "Cygnus for guys, and American Apparel for girls"

Also, according to their twitter feed (on 4 May) they have a free shipping code you may want to try if you were planning on purchasing.
"FREE shipping code: YAYNEWTEE"

@rooopert2002: Thanks for the information! Now I just have to figure out what the reviews on Cyngus are; I've never heard of them.

@rooopert2002: Wow! Thanks for the code! I tested it and it works, so hope it doesn't expire before I can use it. I didn't want to order more than one before I can look at quality, so free shipping makes the decision easier.

Disregard their sizing chart - Goodjoe prints on AA blanks nowadays. They made the switch last month when they went DTG(*). Some older designs are still on Cygnus blanks, but on the most part, any shirt that offers the 3XL option for guys will be on AA blanks.

Gals have always been AA 2102 blanks, size WS to W2XL.

I posted a comparison between an AA 2001, Cygnus 7000, and Anvil 980 here:

A pic of my recent order of Vile Weed is posted here:

Since shirt.Woot changed their supplier, my spending has shifted over to GJ. Even at the $12 price, the artists get a cut from every sale.

* - DTG means direct to garment, so they're printed as they're ordered, hence the available color options. Just note that you definitely want to wash them before wearing, as part of the printing process is a pre-treatment that has a vinegar-y smell to it.

@narfcake: Thank You!! That is very helpful information!
And thanks again for the Goodjoe lead!

@gionot: My pleasure. You will find many familiar artists there too, as many of them have designs here at Woot also.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
