Yeah... I have a larger chest and a smaller waist and larger hips... when I have to sew things to fix them so they fit me more better, it's a little more complicated. When you're a guy and your sides are parallel, it's incredibly easy.

Anyway, note the arm sleeve length of the cut you like. Lots shorter. It's not bigger in the belly area because we're fat. It's bigger because it's the style. Many guys like roomier shirts.

Chrasstor:
Bleh, whatever... Just bought it. Note: It didn't take me 3 hours to decide :P... I watched some shitty movie about cults or something...?

Hopefully it fits nicely, although if it doesn't I'll still wear it.

But if it does, I'll probably end up ordering an Indiana Jones shirt too~

Modify: So wait, assuming I don't know anything about sewing, guide me through tailoring a shirt.  'Cause I was going to a while back, but I never got the guts to make the cuts.

If you're just taking it in a bit you don't even need to cut it. If you've got someone else to help you all you need to do is put the tshirt on inside out and get them to either pin it or make guide stitches along the side seams to make it the size and shape you want. Then sew along this line properly either by hand or with a sewing machine and then turn it the right way out and iron the new seam you've made properly (obviously not ironing the design on the front or it will come off). That's the quickest and easiest way to do it and if you grow/put on weight you can always unpick your stitches and let it out again. Make sure to make it even on both sides, obviously.

If you're doing it on your own you basically do the same thing but you have to work out how much smaller you want it. And like I said, pin it and try it on before you do any final stitching.

Caiphana:
Oh, and be careful when you're trying the shirt on with the pins.

The hobocore shirt I got from Jeph is nice and tight around my stomach, and I'm a skinny guy. All webcomics shirts I've bought are nice and tight.
