Got an 8X in the other day so I tried it on. Mind you, I'm a bigger than average guy, actually way bigger, and this shirt looks like a comforter on me. I wear a 2XL in most everything, with the occasional 3XL, so that should tell you how ridiculous this shirt is.
What's the largest you've seen or printed on.

6X is the biggest I've done. That's half a cotton field right there.

The sad thing is the person who needs that size probably won't live past 35.

The largest one I've seen was a display item. He got it from a supplier and it hung on his wall. I forget who it was. He might be a member here. It was what you might equate to a 14XL. It was really way to large for any human being but was a sight to see. It sure caught your eye. I believe it was hung in his store front window.

we did an 7x for a guy last year. . .it didn't fit. . .so we ran an 8x. . .that didn't fit, so we said the hell with it, it was for a PBA bowling support crew. . . . . . I know, that's what I said. . .

Done a few 10X's here. theres some big buggas over here. Used to work for a friends old shop. They specialized in LARGE garments for the "Big Bugga". There shirts started at 3X and went up. It's hard to make a print look right on such a big canvas....

Can we have 10 with all-over print on them :)

...I had a customer last year that wouldnt be satisfied unless I found a single PURPLE 4XLT. I found a place in SC that could fill it, and they stocked some bigger sizes so I bought a 10XL in yellow to use for a display. I havent printed it yet but I hope to sometime soon.
...back in about 1998 I had a another customer that wanted a 5XL pocket tee, kelly green. I had to call all over the land to find a source for it, but came across a company somewhere in TX called Men Of Measure that could make it. I casually asked the sales rep about the largets size they make....she said the made up to a 25XL! she also mentioned that at some point, the shirts stop getting longer and just get wider.

We had a 6x jacket for a guy once, and the printer was 5'2", about a 100 lbs. She just disappeared when she held it up...

12X and it was a Beach cover up.... now in my mind if your trying to cover up that much ya don't need to be on a beach... It may be dangerous......
There is a company in Texas that sells oversize shirts and when I say oversize I mean BIG ! If I am not mistaken they had some 20+ X's.... looked like a bed sheet.

Doing this for the Biggest Looser?
Oh, it does make your ass look small though.

Did a 6X or 8X once, as Im 5'6" if you had a picture of me loading and unloading on the press, it would have reminded you of the "Keebler elves". LOL.

I think it was for a local church.
Thanks Donnie, that's the look I'm going for these days, I retired my wranglers a long time ago.

We printed a 10x a few years back and not on a press, a 3c using overall screens and 48 in. squeegees. Made the board to load and hold the shirt, 2 guys on each side of the squeegee to print and 2 on each end of the screens, used a heat gun to flash between colors. Made the dryer look real small too!
-
10XL is the largest we've printed. We have a local radio DJ that used to be an 8XL. Now he's down to a 6XL, so it's pretty common to see one come through.
No matter how big you make the design, it always looks funny on that much fabric. Especially when it's just a crest.

That dress makes you look fat.

I thought my face did! Rimshot

I printed a 5X once and I hope I never have to print anything that big ever again. I had to string it up so it wouldn't drag on the floor, it was a real pain to handle going from the press to they dryer....... what the hell, you know what I am talking about. If I ever get that big I will beg my wife to smother me with a pillow to put me out of my misery.
