How do the shirts from the PA store fit?

Hey guys, I've finally found some Extra $ and I've decided to grab the Paint the line shrit from PA to help support the place.

However, I don't know what size to get. I am 5'11-6'0 and 140 pounds.

What size would you suggest I get? I don't really know how these fit. (Also if anyone had a pic of the shirt, i'd appreciate it.)

Thanks!

    I have a couple and they fit along the lines of most quality T-shirts(They are Hanes Beefy Ts). With your height and weight, you are either going to get a medium that fits your torso and is a little short or a large that is loose fitting but long enough to be tucked in(Correction: I just tried my large on and it is a little on the short side at 5'10").

    Ditto that. It sounds like you want a Medium or a Large.

    I haven't had any negative experienes with them shrinking or anything like that, either. They're better than a lot of the cheap cafepress shirts.

    Do you have a really really long torso? I am 6'6" and I wear large...

    I think I'm going to go with a large to be safe.

    I'm 6'1 and 175 lbs. I got a L and it shrunk a bit. The shirt is still wearable but you know when a shirt gets too small and the sleeves poof on the sides because the shoulder seam doesn't make it to your shoulder? Yeah :( This is a common problem for me because I am smack dab in the middle of L/XL, and I run into this with t-shirts all the time.

    Go with large, I'm almost exactly the same dimensions. I have a bunch of their shirts and large always fits the best.

    Wash inside out, and hang to dry to preserve the graphics.

    Well, while I'm at it. I'm getting the L4D "I hate Vans shirt" from valve as well, think I should just grab a large in that too?

    See for yourself. This is a large, has been washed many-a-time and seen lots of love. As others have said Haines Beefy T. I'm fairly certain the Valve ones are similar.

    EDIT: Valve apparently uses American Apparel. Mine fits me pretty much the same as the PA ones.

    5'11' 139 lbs as of 15 seconds ago.

    Looks like a large is fine, you look about my size.

    I have a kinda short torso. They fit fine, but most of my other shirts are longer and stay tucked better.
