Re: 3.7 song (T-shirt sizes)

I've got both an XL and a M shirt, both of which are pretty much exactly what 
I would expect either size to be.  Is sizing just different in other parts of 
the world?  I know here in the states at least S,M,L,XL are all roughly the 
same for T-shirts no matter where you're getting them from.

For whatever its worth at 5' 8" and about 170Lbs. I prefer a M, and mine fits 
perfectly.  Any smaller would definitely be too small.  The XL I got for free 
at Notacon is a little big...but I ain't complaining, as it was free.

Btw, the shirts look just as cool in real life as they do on the website.  
OBSD has definitely got the best looking merchandise of any open source/free 
software project I know of...hell, of any software I know of period.
