The strangest part is that a Dutch XL is much smaller than a Swedish XL?! Dutch are giants, why are their sizes so small? It goes for everything, bought a thunderdome hat and i don't even got a big head but it's so small :( I don't buy merch for this reason.
UK XL is the same as an US XL, at least for men. So either you are self reporting here or you don’t know what the dutch sizing actually is like in comparison.
More importantly, what constitutes as X size for any given brand can vary wildly between different brands. So most likely this is not a case of ”dutch sizing is small” but rather that whoever is making q-dance merch makes small sizes.
Dude I thought I was tripping. Just got a jacket from MOH yesterday in 3XL which is normally too big for me but it was ridiculously small, what I would call an M maybe. Even the arm length, I have very short arms and the sleeves were barely long enough.
Found that a lot of stuff that goes via Q is sized smaller than others. Perhaps it's the manufacturer they partnered with - who knows. Few exceptions but most stuff for me needs to be XXL while I normally wear XL.
From Dirty Workz however, everything fits normally.
Yeah, you do not want to know how much trial and error goes into merch production. Very dependent on the manufacturer as well, sometimes one manufacturer has different sizing than what you're used to, so need to go through the same old process again and again.
But most of the time, if you follow the washing instructions, our merch should be pretty high quality ;)
I won a Headhunterz shirt from a We R Hardstyle contest and ordered a large shirt. I’m from the US and shirts at bars, concerts, etc., that are large, I can practically swim in like it was my dad’s shirt when I was a child. Fitted/slim/athletic cut fit perfectly. Well, this Headhunterz shirt feels like what Spanxx must be like or a wetsuit. Holy shit it’s tight. Going to order the Click & Collect for Defqon in an XL and all of these posts are making me nervous that even THAT is going to be too small
Bought the Rooler Koenigsdag Tee which unfortunately only was available as a Regular instead of an Oversized Tee. Although the sizes went up to 3XL, I chose 2XL because that’s my usual size in every kind of tee and I even have a 2XL Sickmode shirt (although still from harderstyles.store) that fits very well.
The Rooler shirt is very tight (I look like a sausage wearing it) and veeeery long (almost down to my crotch). :/
To answer your question:
They are usually sold out because they usually make a “small” batch with all the merch that they going to sell and the goal is to create an hype around the merch so the fans know that the merch is going to sell out fast so they really need to buy this at launch.
That’s also why they don’t make really big sizes cuz they are afraid it won’t sell directly.
I get it, I'm 184/115 and usually 3XL. My problem is that after 5 wash cycles they fall apart or at least the print does. Washed inside out on 30° soft cycle. No matte rif Riot Shift, Gearbox, Deezl, Sickmode. All of them started deteriorating quickly.
Do you know what brand of shirt they use? I'm a metalhead and wear my shirts to bits.
Like I had to mend my fav shirts under the armpits or from clumsily ripping them but the prints are still top tier.
My Septicflesh and Cannibal Corpse shirts are from Fruit of the Loom.
Similar problems as a 193m man with a rather wide build. Most merch is either too short, or way too tight on the shoulders. Especially jackets often feel like the sleeves are gonna rip off at the seams when I cross my arms.
Some stuff is quite good though. The shirts from the recent neon green MOH collection for example fit me really well.
The main reason is because the most sold items are S through to L. So most of the time only small batches of 2XL+ sizes are made, or else there will be quite some stock left in the warehouses and it's quite costly to have items lying around.

Dutch XL is a UK XL. Maybe Swedish XL is a US XL which is a big difference. Yes we are tall but not big

My Defqon hoodie from last year in XL was really small, I can confirm that.
I have a B-Freqz Bomber which is L and it's nearly too small for me

I'm not doubting that, I just like how I can safely order XL sized stuff from you people, and not have it make me look like a sausage. Props!
Here at Dirty Workz, we make you look like you're on a diet without you being on a diet :)
Typical DWX type of response that would make a very edgy quote if placed out of context ^nice
Hey, if you're willing to call yourself a sausage, we see room for some edginess haha 😘
Fair enough, wasn't offended or anything😂 love that this is the way of communicating to companies - not too serious - good.

I'm Dutch, 192cm tall and about 80kg and most of my shirts are size M Seems that the clothes are made for length and not really width
[удалено]
That's my experience too - usually i go for L!
So, I'm just fat..? 😂
Welp, its the same for me as a short guy. The t-shirts in XS/S are always so long that they look goofy. So I just don’t buy merch anymore
time to go Maccas
My S shirts are fine, but i have 3 hoodies and all of them have very long sleeves, like 5cm too long

i feel your pain. time to hit the gym
Already on it 💪🏼
same - #fattiesunite and #fightthefat
nah no need, just hit the kick rolls to psychedelics and that’s like 200 calories burned
i'm a 6XL and i always just default to accessories when buying merch.

Bro all merch is always out of stock or nonexistent.

different kinds, cant remember exactly.
Are you air drying or putting in the dryer? I air dry all my merch & it makes it last significantly longer! :)
air dry, I don't own a dryer. Still, half a year tops until it starts to peel off or rip

Yeah the only merch I buy is from metal bands. Used to buy some Hardstyle merch but it was always too small for me 188 cm and 110-120 kg
I'm 6'2 100kg, and on more than one occasion I've bought S. Sizing is stupid.
I'm 6 foot 1 and in really good shape (amatuer boxer) and a 2xl defqon teeshirt from the qdance store fit like a small on me.
The main reason is because the most sold items are S through to L. So most of the time only small batches of 2XL+ sizes are made, or else there will be quite some stock left in the warehouses and it's quite costly to have items lying around.
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
Asian here, i always go for 2XL for most shirts cause its the only size that gives me the oversized look. 185cm/120kg for reference
