I think it's a pretty cool looking t-shirt and may pick one up myself. If that makes me a douchebag, then it's pretty low on the list...in fact it may not even make the list considering some of the other shit on that list.

</div></div>

Wait...seriously? That's even worse because there's no branding behind it so you have no excuse unless you actually earned it.

Re: If I buy this shirt am I a poser?

This reminds me, I was sitting at a light in Myrtle Beach the other day and a C6 convertible pulls up beside me. I marvel at the long haired yet balding (aka Middle Management Mullet) fat tax accountant type that's sitting behind the wheel. I make a comment to my wife about erectile dysfunction and then the light turns green and as he pulls away @ 6k RPMs I get to see the license plate: "007SEAL".

Last year I watched Monday Night Football in the company of another Marine...

who served as a Marine Infantryman...

ON IWO JIMA

It made my life near complete. Of course, his money was NO GOOD that night.

</div></div>I say that you should consider the issue of whether or not you are a poser independently of the shirt.

Then do whatever you want.

Because if you seek our advice about whether you are a poser there is a chance that you like the shirt based on criteria that are not your own.

http://linestretch.com/store/product45.html </div></div>What you wear is up to you, and you alone. I personally would not wear a shirt like that because I was in the Marines, and was not a sniper or anything. Sometimes, when we wear things people will think we were or are associated with whatever we are advertising, and this could make for a situation where you might have to say like "Well, I was not a SEAL, but I just like the shirt". I would feel lame then. JMHO.

Of course he "had his" and we were still "getting ours", so some came around to it and some did not.

I thought I read somewhere that Hathcock had a personalized license plate that read "SNIPER". I can't image anything that might bring more attention to oneself.

Granted, if anyone had earned it, he sure did. Just think that was kind of an odd position for him to take in his speaking engagements if the story about the license plate is legit.

As far as the OP's question, wear the shirt. No one will know what it means. Until 6 or 8 months ago, I wouldn't have known either. It looks really cool. I wear AF and ANG unit shirts (i.e. 125th FS) because I love the jets and have buddies who serve or fly in those units. I was never in the AF or ANG.....just an aircraft geek who loves my country and respects those who have chosen to serve.

Independently of the shirt I am not a poser. Sometimes when others see some of my rifles they ask, "What, are you some kind of sniper?" My response is, "No I just like shooting things a long way away."

When I hear a question like that it makes me cringe. Hence the reason for this thread.

Cuz thats what the manufacturer calls them. We DO need a color chart tho.

Anf fyi 'terra mesa' is an 'earthy sorta adobe light pumpkin orangy' color. Guess we coulda put that....

To the OP: buy it, its awesome! But I may be biased...

Regardless what you think of the design, the SHIRTS are great! </div></div>

Do sizes run small or large? </div></div>

I'd say theyre [retty true to size. Im 6-01 / 190 but kinda lanky. I wear a large. XL if i want it roomy

Didn't Hathcock literally have a license plate that said Sniper on it?

As far as the shirt, I went through the marksmanship/advanced training in Mittenwald and none of us referred to each or ever heard anyone refer to us as "kopfjager", so have at it.

I actually like the shirt.

No I would not. But this shirt doesn't say "sniper" either. As far as I can tell the word means headhunter... </div></div>
+ most snipers are not head hunters as much as center shot hunters

Simmer down there. Last I checked they didn't issue, or award this shirt to anyone.

No need to have your blood pressure up over a t-shirt. Let people do what they do.

Unless they re wearing 'gear for ops' or some sort of award and running around telling people that they are the secret squirrel, who cares?

Re: If I buy this shirt am I a poser?

Never been in the military ( not my choice)..... But I have a rule about that (mother Army, Brother Navy, Father Airforce) I go out of my way to ask anyone in a military clothes, if they were in the military. ( you know tshirts, hats,ties,jewlery,tatoos). If they respond Yes I immediatley say thank you.......... If they say no, I have a friend family or other reason, I still say thank you for supporting the troops. I think if someone really cares they will ask. If they do tell them the truth, and you will have nothing to regret...... Keep supporting our troops.

Re: If I buy this shirt am I a poser?

I must say, Graham, that was an excellent take on modern Harley owners in the link.

Deep down inside, it's a need for a sense of belonging. A need for identity or affiliation. It's real and we all subscribe to it in some way or another.

Some strut into the room. Some limp into the room. Some crawl into the room. Some don't seek to enter the room. But, how we come into the room will be noticed. LOL

You put a bunch of shooters together and everyone will be sizing up everyone they don't know.

Re: If I buy this shirt am I a poser?

A kid walked up to a guy wearing a 10-gallon hat, leather vest, leather chaps, and sneakers. The kid asked him, "Mr. Cowboy, why do you wear that big hat?"

The cowboy replied, "Well, son, the big hat protects me from hot sun and driving rain, and at night I put it over my face when I sleep on the range, so it protects me then, too."

"Why do you wear that leather vest?"

"It also helps to keep the weather off me, and it has pockets where I can keep my valuables."

"Well, why do you wear leather chaps?"

"They protect my legs when I'm driving my horse through mesquite and cactus."

"Well, Mr. Cowboy," the kid finally asked, "Why do you wear sneakers?"

"That's so nobody will think I'm a damn truck driver."

Wear what you want but not my thing.

Anybody on the planet, including one of shankster's girlfriends, wearing that shirt would be about one third as annoying as this post. Just about everybody on this site has served one way or another lighten up dude.

Now if I had only killed enough bad guys to earn that 3 wolves howling at the moon shirt then I would be somebody!

On second thought, now I'm really afraid shankster will prove me wrong. Don't think I'll be back to this thread...

Unless you pull up to a hole in the wall bar full of bikers or frequent crack spots full of gang members, I wouldn't worry about your tattoo or shirt being the wrong color. There are places you might have to worry about it but if you're hanging out in those spots you have other problems. If you live somewhere that the color of your shirt can get you beat up or killed it's time to move. Like when the house in Poltergeist said "get out". F'd up but true
