Some people have said that the shirt looks better in real life than on the catalog page, and thus the image upgrade:

    It looks better in real life....so we're taking another picture of the shirt which is not real life. Genius. Just kidding. It looks great a lot better than in the catalogue

    I was consdering buying a shirt, however I'm not sure how you define small medium and large. It can vary. If someone could post measurements here It'd greatly appreciated.

    Forget the shirt. What I want to know is: Who's that being shown modeling it?

    Pretty female Austrian economist? Where do I sign up for the next Mises University?

    Well, this is Lauren who works at the Mises Institute--library, front desk, shipping, and research--and is also a student at Auburn University. She is also the huge fan of Institute gear, from powerbands to shirts and attaches.

    I don't know about the polo shirt, or the various tee shirts with dead economists, but I'd buy a shirt with Lauren on it.

    Good heavens, people. The pretty face is distracting from the shirt. I guess that's fine so long as you eventually notice the shirt at some point, eh?

    "library, front desk, shipping, and research--and is also a student at Auburn University."

    Talk about capitalist exploiters!

    If you put up a picture of me, people will want to look at nothing but the shirt.

    Seriously, though. Try a picture with both a woman and a man. That way everyone gets a chance to look at some eye candy while they open their wallets.

    Vanmind is on the right track. Really, to maximize your appeal to the target audience (whose mentality is on display in this comments thread), the man should be wearing the Mises shirt and the woman should be there because (we infer) the shirt attracted her.

    Well, there's not a lot of calculation here; it's just that she is the most enthusiastic of anyone in the office for Mises gear and likes to promote Mises.org. For example, she thinks the attache bag is great and carries it on campus to hold her iBook.

    Whatever. She's adorable. I don't think you could have hired a better model.
