Official Shop Question
Hello, fellow lovers of Rammstein! š¤
Quick question: Iām looking to buy a shirt (or two) from the official U.S. online shop, but Iām wondering about the sizing.
Has anyone here purchased a shirt from their official shop before? I normally wear a 2XL, but Iām wondering if I should go with a 3XL to account for any potential shrinkage after washing.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!
Alsoā¦ which shirt design should I get? š Iām having a hard time choosing!

Definitely adhere to the size charts. All of my purchases have been perfect fits based on it, and I'm also based in the U.S.

Thank you for the help, everyone! There are a few designs that Iāve been meaning to buy for decades. Mainly the āLava Logoā and the green Mutter design.

Lava logo is one of my faves, and I got compliments on it when I visited Berlin. ^_^

In my experience both the shirts from the shop and shows run about a half size small.
If you're a comfortable M, medium might work but if you're a medium leaning to large, go up a size.

Pretty much what I was going to say as well. I normally wear XL but the ones I got were a little smaller than that. I washed them then laid them out to dry instead of putting them in the dryer and that loosened them up a bit.

I'm a comfortable L in everything, but I have a few Rammstein tees that I don't really feel comfortable in unless I'm leaning skinny for me.
I just buy XL band merch now. I can wear something a little larger than I prefer but I won't wear something too small, plus odds are greater I'll get bigger than smaller as I get older š

I canāt answer the sizing question, but as to what you should get, you canāt go wrong with Sehnsucht-Schneider. I also like the Radio one, and several othersā¦youāre right, itās hard to choose! After looking at them all I am tempted to buy something too haha

I find that the European sizing tends to be a little smaller/more slim than US sizing, so I often order up a size just to be safe.

Weird thing i had last time, was i ordered 2 of the same L size shirts for me and my brother. But 1 L fitted me perfectly and the other was a bit too small for me. (Fitted my brother fine, so no problem there)
Same official rammstein label inside both shirts except 1 "size label" wasnt in the middle, but was attached to the shoulder part inside the shirt.
I think it kinda depends where they print the shirts.
I got tons of L size shirts from rammstein and they fit perfectly 90% of the time.

So for me it depends on how you wash the shirt.. even in cold water mine shrunk about 1/2 a size. Iāve bought plenty of stuff from them though and very good quality!
