where are the womens fit shirts? this reminds me of when i was looking for a good apron/tool belt.  my choices were either a manly  mans leather tool belt or a ridiculous looking hot pink one..really?  i had to settle on an extra tough gardening apron....arent I fancy?  anyway...joined the guild several months ago mainly because i felt bad for watching all of your technique videos -- i felt i should 'give back'   -- now, im all about showing the world im a wood geek but i draw the line at wearing a mans shirt to do so...

Idesofmarch,

Welcome to the forum.

My wife had the same problem with the tool belt issue. She can hang drywall like a pro but she's only like 110 pounds so there were precious few choices for her. She ended up getting a heavy duty gun belt style belt, cutting it to length, and then hanging pouches that she purchased piece by piece on her belt. There really are very few options out there for females.

I hate to put it so bluntly, but we just don't sell enough women's shirts to justify stocking them. They would sit on the shelf collecting dust. We carried them in the past and eventually had to just give them away. On our last t-shirt order, we ran a pre-order period including every size as well as female options. We had maybe 100 orders during that time. Guess how many ordered the female version of the shirt? One. So we ordered the nice lady her shirt and decided that we wouldn't be stocking them. 

 

So when we place our next order, I will probably do that same and give everyone a chance to get their order in ahead of time. But we just can't afford to stock shirts that don't sell. Our "shipping department" is my mom's front room so space is at a premium, lol. Family business and all that.

 

But I REALLY appreciate you looking to support our efforts here by joining the Guild and looking to buy a shirt. I only wish we could accommodate you.
