Right, I finally got my 50th park run! So I get a 50 parkrun t-shirt! And so I wander once more into the frustrating, unclear and gendered world of clothing sizes!

I have listed every t-shirt that I at least vaguely consider might be the right one to order in this poll, and All The Information I Can Find Anywhere about what that sizing means. (yes, that's sarcastic, there doesn't appear to be any)

[Poll #1939480]

I am happy to share random details about what size I am if it helps, I'm short (about 155 cms) don't have huge boobs (34B) and generally wear clothing in about a women's 8 - 12 (my bum is bigger than my top - I'm an 8 in posh dresses to go to weddings in, but definitely a 12 in non-stretchy jeans). I _think_ the real choice is between a kids age 12, a mans XS, or a women's 10, but maybe an 8 would fit better, and I don't really like excessively taylored running gear with too much clevage.

I know it's really stupid to whinge about a Free T-Shirt, but I really just want more data. Maybe I should go to Milton and stop everyone with a parkrun t-shirt and ask if I can try it on... ;-)

I wear a 30E bra and Women's 8 fits snugly - I like a snug fit, maybe you don't. I tend to find that Men's Small is very baggy, which I don't really like in a technical Tshirt (but maybe you do); I'd expect children's sizes to be insufficient in the bust area.

You are welcome to try mine... if I manage to be in the same place as both you and it.

I would very much like to try your 8 - I am dithering between an 8 and a 10 (having pretty much decided the kids ones are too small)

I'll be at the reel club tonight after hashing, but I am not sure if you and/or your t-shirt will be :-)

I will be, but I have forgot the Tshirt on account of the washing machine dieing and leaving me confused (I know this is a weird reason - the Tshirt is clean). You could swing via mine post SRC if you like, although it's not really *on the way* to Girton.

But then a) cycling company! b) t-shirt size information! c) Busway cycle! (always fun ;-) d) small chance of seeing ewx! What's not to like :-) I'll see how shattered I am after SRC
