I want that sonic shirt. It screams "I'm married so I can where whatever I want, without fear of being shunned by the ladies."

Don't quote me on that though, as others have noted it probably varies a lot more between manufacturers...

I mean, I still wouldn't be caught wearing it, but it's probably the closest thing to a game shirt I'd be willing to wear.

配送地域は日本国内のみうけたまわっており、海外への発送はうけたまわりかねます。

Pretty much says "We only ship within Japan, no shipping outside the country". You could try one of the intermediate services that buys things in Japan and ships them to you, but with shipping, fees, and the crappy exchange rate, it'd probably cost like $40 for a 1500 yen t-shirt. :/

I have a Sonic hat that gets accolades on occasions where it would be proper to dress up silly.

I do like that Sonic shirt though. A little more subtlety and class than a blatant logo.

According to said chart, an XXL has a chest of about 60cm. That being said, most AmericanApparel shirts, which are known to run small and fitted, run at about 74-79cm for a the chest of a XXS shirt.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Uniqlo "Large" has actually been too big for me since before I started slimming and cutting my delicious human frame.

Really want a couple of those Sonic ones, though. Man. I'll buy them and save them for the day (months from now) when, at last, I start building my sumptuous muscles again.

I have to say I'm not impressed with Uniqlo's shirts. I saw them selling a shirt for my favorite anime series (a very, VERY old title) and it looked like crap. Made me more than a little sad.
