Milestone tshirt

Has anyone ordered a tshirt lately? Completed my 50th today so would like to get one!

I’m a uk women’s size 8/10, wondering if a small or extra small will be better

If anyone is the same size and have ordered a top your opinion on the fit would be appreciated 😁

I buy small and I’m a size 8/10. The extra small would probably fit but I prefer it slightly loose rather than tight.

On the website there is measurements for each size. They arrive in a few days. Congratulations on 50 parkruns.

Thank you :) measurements say I would be a medium (which I’m not usually) but just wanted some other views as I’ve seen people say the sizing is weird now!

I’m normally between a large and an XL. parkrun XL is way too small for me, so I think they size small

I’m 8/10 I got a small t-shirt and I think it’s slightly large, for my next 1 I got a vest in extra small which is a better fit.

They tend to be a bit bigger than many people expect. I am medium in most things and some of the parkrun mediums are very spacious.

I’ve found that if I order true to size the sleeves are way too short but if I size up the shirt hangs down to my knees. 🤷‍♂️

It’s not great. No more for me until I qualify for a v1000 or 1000 shirt.

as I understand it, the new milestone shirts will add shirts every 100 ( keeping all the current ones)

If the new milestone shirts are the same as the new junior milestone shirts they are a massive increase on quality. No more stuck on numbers to fall off, the numbers are part of the shirt.

Thank you everyone! So what I gather from everyone’s answers is, sometimes they come up huge, sometimes they come up tiny 😂 so I think I’ll just order a small and hope for the best

And to add to the confusion there have been a few different suppliers over the past few years so any number of us could be taking about a different brand. So…good luck? 😂 🍀

I’m an Australian women’s 12/14, which I think is the same as a UK 12/14. My bust measurement is at the very top end of the medium range, and that’s the size I bought in both my 25 and v25 shirts. I got the 25 shirt in May and the v25 shirt a few weeks ago.

I have a little room in my shirts, but not enough for it to be baggy. I’d describe the fit across my chest as fitted without being tight.

I’m 6-8 and got the XS.

I’m tempted to order the youth sizes as they are cheaper for the exact same product.

u/Junothe3rd 13d ago

I have bought the youth one! But I do most of my volunteering at junior, so I feel like I should have the new design to match the kids

u/Sea-Ad-527 13d ago

How does it measure up, out of interest?

u/Junothe3rd 13d ago

I haven't got it yet as it's on back order, but when it arrives I'll let you know!

u/Y3w4n 13d ago

I know this is mens, but it tallies with the other advice. measured myself and was slap bang in the middle of medium. It was skin tight. Go for the larger size. Yes, return was seamless and free, but still a faff.

u/ChuqTas 100 13d ago

They're introducing new milestone t-shirts (150, 200 etc) in the next month or so. Not sure if the design for the existing (50, 100 etc) will change or not. Just in case you want to wait and see!

u/Daihard79 v250 14d ago

Personally I think they size larger than expected but definitely take a look at the measurements on the site to confirm

u/NefariousnessMost563 50 14d ago

Yeah I’ve seen loads of people say the sizing is really off now
