Title: Teeshirt Ordering Thread
Post by: el_chode on Jul 15, 2010, 07:36 PM
Alright, I'm reprising the thread here because a lot more people have showed interest than I've heard from, and the time is here to push on with the ordering of the teeshirts.

This is the shirt:
(//%3Cbr%20/%3Ehttp://www.elchode.com/chodeblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/MMJ-Blue-Shirt-242x300.jpg)

If you would like to order one, please email me at songofthedeaf at geemail with the words "teeshirt" in the subject line so I can be sure not to miss it. Include how many and what size(s) you want.

We're running them at cost, which is going to be approximately $12 + cost to mail it. The shirts will be thin, soft, and approximately the same color you see there, on American Apparel fabric. They will shrink approximately one size once washed.

This is not licensed by the band or anything, I do not mean to represent it in that fashion or infringe on any of the band's, or Patrick's rights. We're not making any money, we don't want to, and the person printing them is a huge fan and member of this board as well.

I liked the other shirt more, but if you definitely are going to use this design, any chance you could do it in charcoal instead of blue?

I only chose this one because it seemed to have the most interest from everyone generally. I'm actually partial to the other saying, but in this font.

Color doesn't matter really...yet...since they're not printed. My whole goal is to get whatever the most people want, I have no preference.

So how about when you send me your email, tell me what color you want:

Charcoal
Army Brown
Dark Blue
Red
Green

Alright, latest update:

I've heard from about 4 of you. That's a very low number, especially based on all the interest in the initial thread.

If we want to keep the shirts at $12/per, we need to hit somewhere near 36 shirts. Here's the breakdown:

12-35 pieces (11 x 11 max imprint) - $18 ea
or
12-35 pieces (13 x 16 max imprint) - $20 ea


36 pieces (11 x 11 max imprint) - $12.00 ea
or
36 pieces (13 x 16 max imprint) - $14.00 ea

In the mean time, I just set up a new pay pal account since I recently switched banks, so once we have pricing confirmed, you can pay pal me, and if you want your shirt mailed to you, I will keep the money in the pay pal account until you confirm receipt of the shirt.

Quotedamn, come on peeps!

It's not as bleak. Honest Man is going to take one, adding to the total tally, and I'm taking 2, and we're getting one made for Pat so that's another 4. We're at a total of 12. If we can double that, I'll probably just pick up the slack since I feel like some people will become aware of this later and want in.

Total at 14 now.

I'll give it another week. I haven't even heard from some of our more vocal board members, and I'm sure at least a few of them might be interested

Hey El C, I looked into using that image on the CafePress site for a custom clock face ($15).  The maximum size is limited, so it doesn't work for the resolution you sent me.  Take a look and, if you have a larger resolution image, I'd like to look into this some more (or hand it off to you).  Here's a link to the clock customizer:

Everything is going to be delayed another week. I had a serious emergency this morning and will be totally overwhelmed in the coming week with the fallout and won't have any time to really process this stuff in any reasonable manner.

Sorry for the delay

alright! So when I get to work I'm going to review all the emails I've gotten and then I'll figure out if I need any more information from anyone.

by this evening i'll post the pay pal instructions and I'll contact Honest Man to place the order.

Alright, this is it!

16 of you ordered shirts. I will pay for 20 in case anyone is late to the party or wants an extra. Unfortunately, I can't afford to front enough to double the order and get the higher-quality shirt, so to keep prices in line we're going to go with the standard cotton tshirt. I will email you all at the email addresses you emailed me with, that way I can be sure I've reached out and told everyone who ordered anything over XL that it's time to pay and I'm not holding the bag on those shirts that cost more.

Price breakdown is like this:

$12 per shirt
$13.25 for XXLs
$5.00 if you want it mailed, and give me your mailing address. Otherwise I'll assume we'll meet up during the T5 shows.

Sound cool?

Oh, in case you were wondering, it will cost $20 per shirt to upgrade to the nicer ones, so I figure this is way cooler to keep 'em cheap.

They're gonna be blue, that's what the majority seemed to want. Dark blue.
