Not sure about the forum… but does anyone know why concert t-shirts never come in sizes larger than XL, and they’re small XL to boot? I like big airy t’s and i never see anything at the venues above xl, which fit too tight. And I ain’t the only person I see at these shows who could use a larger shirt. Any XXL (true xxl, like you buy in a store) connections for concert T’s, esp. Dylan, would be appreciated.

I dunno, **strangecurrencies.** I bought a xxl BB King shirt at a concert last month. BB himself probably wears a xxxl, though.🙂

Always glad to help another Dyaln fan.

There are some XXLs [here](http://stores.musictoday.com/store/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=884&band%5Fid=381&sfid=2) on Bob’s site.

Thanks Haj, and Asknott. I don’t hink I made the point clear , though… what I meant to say was XXL’s sold at concert venues (which I assume are the same as the sizes at dylan’s site, Haj) just fit too damn tight. Now I’m big, but not outlandishly so… I guess what I am thinking is , where can you buy a concert type tee that fits like a , say , Russell Athletic XXL… II would probably need one of BB’s triple xxx’s…but the concert venue shirts seem a size smaller than they are marked to me…

By the way, I am guessing I should have put this in mpsims …if so . mods please move. I’d really like to find an answer tough.
