(Speaking of youth shirts- what's the deal with Gildan. Anyone know why their youth shirts run a size larger than FOL and everyone else?)
Cheryl, I have the same complaint with Gildan youth.....they are HUGE! I've started using the 5.5 oz on gildan youth....they are about two to three inches shorter than the youth 6.1 oz. and seem to be slightly narrower.
