The public is crying out for better-fitting tees. That, and folks really love D.C's Hugh & Crye. The online menswear retailer launched their first Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday with the hopes of raising $30,000 to create t-shirts using the same unique sizing system based on a 12-size matrix they've used for men's shirting. And with 27 days left to go, they've already raised over $25,000 toward their goal. Almost there!

Why Kickstarter? Hugh & Crye's 12-size system is more expensive for U.S. manufacturers, and funds from Kickstarter will help Hugh & Crye pay for the manufacturing costs to produce the line and allow the company to sell a high quality tee for a reasonable price.

Hugh & Crye's line of un-branded, single pocket crew neck T-shirts are manufactured in L.A. and feature higher armholes and a trim fit. Colors include Heraldic Blue, Even Gray, Berry, Matte Black, Mallow and Azure Blue. If you want to push them over the edge of their goal, $20 gets you one t-shirt in any size, $60 gets you a three-pack of tees, and $150 or more gets you a ten-pack.
