    Interest in T-shirts

    Greetings everyone. As some of you know, I have been selling vinyl decals/labels here for a few months now. I now think I have a way to make t-shirts using the decals that I have made, or even some custom ones. Before I go deep in to buying all of the shirts, vinyl, and presses I wanted to see if there is any interest in a shirt at all. I have not gotten final prices on the products so I am not 100% on what the price of a shirt would be at this time. Below is an example of what I was thinking.

    To keep things simple at the start, I want to keep shirt colors and vinyl to one color. As interest grows, or if enough people want the same color of material I can add more options. To start I was going to use a black shirt with white vinyl. You could pick a design from the ones I have already made, or send me an idea for a custom design and we can develop a shirt for you. The decal would go on the back or front of the shirt, whichever you choose. In addition to that, I can put a castboolit logo on each shirt. Now in saying that, it is not the entire logo, just "castboolits" on the upper back of the shirt. (Hope to give the site a little advertisement.) Also for a slight extra cost, I could cut out your forum ID and post it on the front.

    [IMG]http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k528/myfragis*****/exampleshirt.png[/IMG]

    Again this is all still in the design stage and not a final idea. This could all be changed around if you prefer. I can put just castboolits on one if you dont want a design either. Just something to were out and about to show you are part of this great forum. Feel free to PM me with ideas that you would like or with things i should change. I am hoping to make these as individual as possible but still have a way to link us together. Feel free to post here with ideas as well.

    There is also a poll up with how much you would be willing to pay for a shirt. This is not for me to see how much I could make, but to see if it is worth trying to buy products at this time to proceed with the project. The costs could be less depending on how much I am able to order at once.

    this is what is currently available from the site now. [as a comparison]

    these are completely different and very comparable in price.
    I'd probably prefer my avatar name to my member number, and a hoodie would be cool this time of year..

    Yeah avatar name is what I was thinking. Avatar would just not come to me at the time when i made that lol.

    As for hoodies, I can look in to getting those as well. Thanks for the cafepress link.

    Interest in T-shirts

    I had no idea we had so many CastBoolits goodies to choose from!
    Jacob I would possibly be in for a hoodie and/or tshirt if you do it.

    I like the idea, but would prefer something a little more subtle in the symbology. Instead of crossed M4's, maybe crossed Dory's instead? I believe the small change would mean the difference in relating an historically accurate statement , or getting a psch eval in the OA office.

    Thanks for all of the input everyone. I have other designs that you all could check out as well. The molon labe was just the first example that I pulled. Clicking the link in my signature should take you to other designs I have as well.

    There is a laser heat transfer I have played with, can do some pretty intricate designs then use a heat press to transfer to a t-shirt

    might as well put a bullseye on the back if your going with a shirt and be 100% sure of being a target.

    Always interested in a shirt or hoody that's unique & different, International shipping cost is always a factor for us O/S though.

    Best of luck with them.

    With the possibility of SHTF in the near future is this a good idea. When it does hit the fan we are an automatic target based on the fact we have a pro gun T-shirt on. Want another donation for the site.....just say so...

    I would be in for 2 in 3xl, but also more interested in Olive or Tan than Black.


    Edit: Also I'm good with anything $20 or < .....

    I'll go with the standard black with white lettering. I would opt out on the helmet if possible.
