TFL T-Shirts. Thinking about making them, who wants one?

Been a lot of folks on here asking about TFL shirts for a while now. Especially with the increasing number of get togethers.

I got permission from Rich to go with this, and I talked today with a guy at a local T-shirt factory. (I work at a University Bookstore, and these are the guys that make our stuff, and the quality is fine). Looks like I can do it.

The first batch of shirts will be white, unless there is an overwhelming number of people who want something else. They will be good quality shirts, nothing crappy. Short sleeved. I'm thinking TFL logo on the right breast side. It will look like the logo on the top left of this screen. Only I'm going to have to simplify it down to three colors, so all of the writing will probably be yellow, instead of three shades of yellow.

Price will be $12, plus shipping, which I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to do that yet. So figure $15 per shirt total. Sizes in the initial batch will be S, M, L, & XL, keep in mind that this puts me out of luck initially also, I'm a 3X. The next run will have bigger sizes if folks want them. (The shirt people charge more for bigger, I'll work that out latter).

Now here's the thing, I need to know if there is sufficient interest on this board for this to be worth my time. Economically speaking, I'm going to need at least 60 orders prepaid for, to get the capital to start out. If there are more, then I will have them make the first batch larger.

Before anybody sends money though I just want to see how many responses there are. So please respond if your interested. For the sake of other TFLers please don't just post here to yank my chain, and tell me your going to order 5 shirts and then never do. I do not want to wind up with 500 TFL shirts in my living room. :)

Once the first shirts are made I will get pictures and post them on here.

Note, only a few of you on here know me personally, so all you have is my word that I'm not dinking around. I live Logan, Ut. Just north of SLC, so if there is any sort of problem, you can have the Kodiak come up and beat me senseless. Thank you.
 
Thanks for consideration of getting the T-Shirts made, but I personally don't want white and I want the logo on the back and small initials on the pocket, and I would like to see all the colors on the logo, but don't take this as complaint, I'm just giving my opinion, I have friends that does T-shirts so if it comes down to it, I will have them made in Missouri, I would like to see the T-shirt in gray but thats just my idea.

Correia - Count me in for 2 XL at a minimum. I'll kick in with an initial PMO or personal check for $30.00 to show my 'seriousness of intent.' :)

Suggestion for one approach - collect the monies, then print the shirts for those who sent said monies. Printing the shirts will be easy. The record keeping and shipping will be your biggest headache. :)

Damn...I need a 2X!....unless the sizes run big. Either way, count me in when they're up and running! Thanks!- Dakotan

I've never had reason whatsoever to doubt your word, and to subject yourself to such a punishment conceived by George, is well....frightening.

I'm in...now..details, fabric? If 100% cotton it will shrink from desired size...izzit Hanes? Brand name?
I'll take one large and one XL if 100% cotton...if a blend I'll take a medium and a large. Color preference is natural (biegeish) or a light olive or natural green (not lime!!!)green...

I'm in for the 2...regardless of color, but ya have to tell us the fabric content to determine size.

Not till we can get 3X. Maybe by then I'll be better employed and have the money. Thanks for the effort, though.
 
Count me in for a large! I like grey as well, but go with it and whatever you get is fine with me. Thanks for the effort!

Count me in and if possible, I'd like personal monikers on it too. And I won't insist on having "Kodiac" printed on mine anymore - not that George has to worry about me making friends for him. ;)
 
I'll take one in XL but I would prefer one with a collar, a pocket over the left breast on the logo on the pocket.
 
I'm in for a large...and maybe a medium for my wife.

Im in, but the me and the people Ill be buying for are at least 2x-3x, and one large.....I personally would prefer something non-white, durn hard to keep clean when your shooting in it.....not to hot on grays either, but its better than white. Do they make these t-shirts in a redneck checkerboard? How about camo.., just a silly thought. How personalized can we go with these?....smilie face with bullet hole?, 2nd amendment printed?, various sayings.....(historical, and polite of course)...fubsy.
 
I`ll take one.

------------------
My wife said either I stop buying shooting stuff or she`ll leave me.

Boy, I`m sure gonna miss her!
 
I'll go for at least one Lg to start off. I kinda like the idea of any thing BUT white.

If it's a raging success, maybe we could get pockets and collars in a later order. For now count me in for one Lg, however the design and color turns out.
 
Wow, I posted this last night before I went to bed, and now its a little before 7:00 in the morning, and there are 14 replys.

Ok, looks like white isn't too popular. I'm meeting with the shirt people on Tue. Since this batch is going to be pre-ordered, I will see about having personalized colors, and 2x & 3x sizes made up, I'll have to calculate the price, but it will probably be something like a buck or two extra $.

DC, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask about the type of shirt, he explained it to me, but I probably just stared at him blankley because he finally pointed at the shirt I was wearing and said that he could make them like the one I was wearing, and it was one of my favorite shirts. :) I'll find out Tue. and post fabric, shrinkage etc.

Bruce (and any body else not in the continental U.S.), for you I would like to post out of country, I'll check on that on Mon. Once I get the price on that I will e-mail you before you send your order and we can work something out.

Other big folks, looks like I'm not the only big dude here. I will also see about personalized larger sizes, so figure like an extra dollar for large sizes, and an extra dollar for different colors. But I will let everybody know in part II. (along with my address)

Keep them coming, thanks everybody! :D
 
Oh, and personal monikers, collars, etc. I'll wait for the second batch, I want to keep this first one simple. So I'll check on extra colors and sizes, and post back, thanks.
 
If shirt is other then white I'll take 2 XL. If white - 1 XL.

Keep us informed! $$ is standing by.

I'm in for two. As above, size will be determined as to 100% cotton or blend. My last "Large" was good quality 100% cotton and after washing it looked like I had white Spandex on.
