+1 on holy what the berkeley shrinking. I wear a small in every other shirt on the face of the planet. I got stuck with a medium at the Challenge, first time i washed it, it turned into a belly shirt and constricts my chest like crazy.
It fits my 110lb fiancee well, though.
Guess i need to try a large next time?

I've never had any problems with shrinkage.

It sounds like shirt shrinkage has been an issue for some. Maybe those who's shirts have shrunk can say when they got the shirt and which style it was. That might make it possible for GRM to avoid vendors with products that shrink.
I have one of the current shirts, and have not had any shrinkage issues:
(Oh, and a quick reminder, a shirt comes free with your two year subscription. I re-upped my subscription when they came out with the new shirt, and made sure to do it on the phone to GRM HQ instead of over the interwebs, so I could get the black version. )
I also have a grey one like GVX19's shirt. It is a little more snug than I like, but I'm not certain if that is due to shrinkage or if it is due to me adding a few pounds....
Unfortunately no metal here

As promised, one goofy picture of myself with the bucket hat.
BONUS!!!!
Pseudosport flashing gang signs. No idea what he's reppin' (yo), but he's wearing a GRM shirt.
I just ordered one of the work shirts so I should eventually have pics. (Also grabbed some stickers and number panels for my E30)
In reply to t25torx:
Yes, there was significant shrinkage. (Gotta love "Seinfeld," though "The Office" works too!)

I had my eye out for you, but never strayed much from the Southwest Vista.

Our tickets were for the South Vista, but we never once went to the seats. We wandered the place, tried to get near the pits, gave up and went to the infield for the majority of the race.

I notice some lack of harnessing and restraints in that picture above!

Probably 2005, with the city of Cleveland in the background.
What kind of sailboat are you racing on?
