Y'all have asked.. and I finally decided to start doing this on a limited basis! :) If there's enough interest, I'll create more options.. but for now.. it's just a plain decent quality white or black tshirt with our logo! :)

Men's XX-Large - $17.99 + $3.25 Shipping (CONUSA) - +$1 for Black

@Everyone else -- Still waiting on the shirts to be printed. Expect them 3 to 4 days after I have them in my hands.. I'll hope I'll see them by early next week. I'll keep you posted when they ship. Thanks!

I'll try to get some pictures up as soon as they arrive. :) Planning a trip to Mt. Rushmore next weekend, maybe I can put HamIsland along side the Presidents.

PS - I'm going to ship them without requiring a signature, if you need other provisions, let me know.

So.. this has turned into an major disaster! I've had to return the shirts twice now due to really sloppy printing.

I'm going to use a local print shop, which increases my cost a bit, but I think it'll be worth it as I can see the end result before they print all of them. This means a bit more of a delay..

I'm still moving forward, but anyone who wants a refund can get one, but they're coming!.. eventually. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey gang, as I mentioned to Janet late night... -- sorry, I didn't see N2NKW's post until she mentioned it, I haven't been on the forum much the last couple of weeks.

Frankly, I'm really sorry I ever embarked on this whole thing but I take full responsibility for the delays. I thought it'd be neat, but it's turned into a rather huge cluster... Long story short, the way the image was produced, it's causing it to suck when printed on a t-shirt, even though it's a high res RGB image. I don't proclaim to be a graphics expert, but there's something about it that was causing us issues. I've worked with a local vendor to get it resolved, but they haven't turned out to be any more favorable than Cafepress. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I've admittedly been really sour on how these shirts continue to come out.

Long story short, tshirts are coming -- someway, somehow.. it's not a financial thing, and continue to offer refunds to anyone who wants one.. however, I have not given up on this endeavor.

My apologies for the continues delays. I'll keep everyone updated more regularly.

Not trying to steal anybody's "thunder", but this place will do single shirts. I uploaded the .EPS from Carlo.

The artwork might need a tweak for the knob and the URL with dark colors.



Hey, I'm a (former) professional, man. The URL has a white background around the letters just for that purpose. You can see it where the letters cross the black areas on the knob.

SOMEONE should have gotten their shirt by now.

That no one has reported as such implies that there is a problem. And the first place to start asking questions is at the store that shipped them.

I'm really hoping at this point that someone at that shipper's didn't get the word that the bill was paid, and that all of the packages are still sitting somewhere.

Otherwise, a trace needs to be started... and the shipper is the one to start that trace.

At this point, the shirt itself? Fuggedaboudit. I'd just like to know what happened.

Time for a bump.

--

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've been getting a small education the last few weeks on what a major pain in the assets it can be to place a shirt order. The boss & I ended up, amongst other things, taking care of the cast & crew shirts for Little Miss Field Day's final High School Musical.

The order is going to end up being 80 shirts -- five are 2XL & 3XL, so we don't get a quantity discount on them (they'll be $9 a shirt), but the other 75 are S - XL, so we do get the discount. $7 a shirt. Add in the cost for setting up the artwork, grand total for 80 shirts will be $650 . That's not bad, not bad at all.

...the best part is, before we got the final numbers, the Parents Committee decided to charge the same for shirts as was done last year -- $15 each. So even though the ADULTS haven't all paid for their shirts yet -- mainly the teachers running the musical -- we still have more than enough $$$ to cover the cost of printing. Remaining $$ goes into the HS Musical account.

Nah, those teachers wouldn't make the kids pay for THEIR shirts, now would they? Well, I'll make damn sure that they do pay for them -- no moola, no shirt.

OK, I almost hate to do this...

I don't know if or when we're ever going to hear from Jeff again. He still owes us an explanation at least... but never mind that for right now.

Now: I just finished packing up an order of 80 T-Shirts for Little Miss Field Day's last High School Musical. The Boss & I are co-running the parents committee, so besides running the concession stand, this got dumped in my lap as well.

Including the setup costs, the shirts came to about $9 each for S - XL, $10 each for 2XL & up. (Well, we did get a quantity discount by going over 72 shirts -- 1 case -- which cut the price a bit, but never mind that.) That included both the printing on the front (they did a nice job on the graphic) in multiple colors, and single color listing of the cast & crew names on the back.

So let me ask the group...

Do you want me to look into a shirt order? [Do NOT send me any shekels now, please!!!]

Keep in mind that there would be postage costs as well, so this is positively NOT a set price. I just want to get a feeling... no, not that kind of feeling, you have a dirty mind & keep up the good work, you know who you are... to see if it's worth it.

This is completely independent of the previous attempt, this would be me on my own.

Oh well, it was a thought.

Now if Jeff ever pops back in, the local printer I used for the school musical cast/crew shirts (Commonwealth Press) had a VERY reasonable cost per shirt. $650 net for 80 shirts, including the artwork fees... which comes to $8.125 per shirt (there were 5 XXL/XXXL shirts included, and those were an extra $1 each, so that should be factored in as well) with quantity discount.

Of course, he'd have to deal with some shipping charges as well. I didn't, I just drove down to their printing plant & picked them up. Neat little building. You should see the bell they have... you know, the "Ring the Bell for Service" bell. It's an actual old school bell, and boy, is it loud!
