The important thing is the shirt shrinks very much the first time you wash
it, and then much, much less.
Buying the shit larger is more like printing at, say, 101% scale to 
compensate.
What i have in mind is wash the fabric before the taylor cuts the shirt. 
Thus
causing most shrink before the image is printed and having less distortion 
later on.

But of course that needs proof of concept, which i'll do asap.
