from http://threadless.com/product/449/Chinese_Peaches which is available on t-shirts up to men's XL. I think there ought to be some kind of rule about depicting people on a t-shirt and not offering it in sizes that would fit said people.

That is cute and I would totally wear that...if it was available in a size that would fit.

I was so annoyed that only the mens variety was available in a range of sizes that I sent them a letter of complaint.

Here's what I sent them:

Hello,

I have a complaint about the sizing of this product: http://threadless.com/product/449/Chinese_Peaches

This imagery is something that I perceive as appealing to larger sized people...particularly women. In fact, I happen to like this design. The only problem is that the only size listed is 'small'. This seems counterproductive to actually selling this product. Its also rather annoying to note that the mens variety of the same product is available in sizes up to XL. I think its MUCH less likely that men are going to buy this item (especially with the color being pink).

I would love to see your company fix this issue so that a wider range of customers can purchase this item.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you,
Rachael Bradshaw

we'll see if they actually respond.

Thanks for doing that!

I've written to Threadless in the past about their limited size range, and got the usual "not cost effective" boilerplate in response. I'll be interested to see if you get anything different.
