LocostBuilders (official) T-Shirts
ChrisW - 8/4/10 at 05:25 PM
Hi All
With the new logo in the pipeline, and several shows coming up, I've finally decided to pull my finger out and get some official LocostBuilders
t-shirts made up.
The plan is to use a good quality heavy weight t-shirt and have them screen printed with the new logo on the front. If anyone saw/bought one of the
shirts from the guy at Uxbridge show last year they are the same shirts he uses (Fruit of the loom super premium).
Those of you on the Facebook group will have seen the new logo, but for the benefit of those that haven't....
There will be a choice of four-five shirt colours with corresponding print colour, and a choice of sizes.
I need to get an idea of quantities based on a price point, so hoping for a 'show of hands' as to who would be interested. The proposed
price at this stage is £9.75 for each shirt, plus £1.75 postage (regardless of order size). Postage will be first class 'signed for',
and based on UK delivery.
So, over to you. What are you opinions?
Cheers, Chris
CraigJ - 8/4/10 at 05:30 PM

lotusmadandy - 8/4/10 at 05:31 PM
Yes please Chris,i will have one in XL.
do you know the colours?
Andy
ChrisW - 8/4/10 at 05:33 PM
I've got four colour combinations in mind already, but that will be the next question. Really I want to know (at this stage) whether people
think the price is reasonable.
We can go cheaper, of course, but won't get such a good quality shirt.
Cheers, Chris

BenB - 8/4/10 at 05:35 PM
Price sounds good for me. Black on white or white on black has a certain classic appeal to me....

Yup!
madteg - 8/4/10 at 06:14 PM
I want two.
James - 8/4/10 at 06:18 PM
Great idea.
Stick with the decent quality t-shirts. The cheap ones stretch in 2 washes and go useless.
I'd love one.
Sadly, having now been unemployed for a particularly unreasonable amount of time, I'm utterly broke and it will have to go on hold for a while.
But will get one as soon as I have a job!
Cheers,
James

mistergrumpy - 8/4/10 at 07:04 PM
Are you making any profit on these for the running of the site? It's maybe because I'm Northern that I think a tenners a touch expensive for
a t-shirt but if it's contributing to the site then it's fine.
roadrunner - 8/4/10 at 07:09 PM
Count me in for one too, poncy yellow to match the car.

It's making the boss happy - stop grumbling!
One for me too - XL, maybe bigger (depends on sizing)
daviep - 8/4/10 at 07:13 PM
What kind of discount can you offer on a group buy?
robocog - 8/4/10 at 07:18 PM
me too!
Any objections to getting a viynl sticker made with the logo to plonk on the car(s) ?
johhny5 - 8/4/10 at 07:23 PM
me too, perhaps would look good in black n white ?
wicket - 8/4/10 at 07:28 PM
Count me in, at least 2. Will there be children's sizes available as well?
I think the price is very fair.
adithorp - 8/4/10 at 07:28 PM
Don't take this the wrong way, Chris, but... About bloody time!
Put me down for one.
Ignore Mistergrumpy; The clue is in the name.
£10 sounds cheap to me.

I don't think your coment was that unrealistic MG - if it's going to the site you'd think it was ok to pay a little more! I thnk
that's quite noble really!!!
I paid £6.25 for the T shirts below (don't know the postage costs as they were delivered to Mallory Park for me as he only lived an hour away)
and don't know how much for cheaper T shirts as he only uses Fruit of the Loom brands... Oh (ETA) I ordered 10 in total, so I might have got a
discount due to being more than just one or two...
They were meant to b £7.00 but he knocked a little off as I told him it waws ok to put his own logo on the sleeves!

I was slightly worried too that a tenner was too much.
Actually, what it breaks down as is £9 per shirt, then postage is £2.75 for first and 75p for every shirt after that (give or take - for 5+ it might
go down). I thought it was easier to wrap the postage price into the cost of the shirt to make it simpler to work out.
As I mentioned though, this all depends on numbers, sizes, colours, and a few other factors. For example, if people just wanted large and extra large
we can probably just pay for one screen to be made. But if we need S, M, L and XL I'll have to have two screens made, as a logo that fits on a
small shirt would look tiny on an XL shirt.
Then I have to pay a fee each time the colour gets changed. And I'll have to have a small production run done first (at much higher unit cost)
as people will want to see what they look like before ordering.
I'll do my best to get the price down, but it really does depend on those factors.

Davey D - 8/4/10 at 08:15 PM
I fancy one in yellow with black print. Would be nice if we could get our forum username printed on it too, so at meets, and events you could see who
is who
locoboy - 8/4/10 at 08:18 PM
I'm in for two.
Unless I have missed it ( I think I read all the pages) is it worth posting up the fruit of the loom sizes vs chest sizes in inches, Ie, XL = 42
inches etc etc. I for one would like to make sure I order the correct size.
Thanks

That's not going to happen (the username bit) I'm afraid. The cost of the screens would put the project way over budget!
Chris
beagley - 8/4/10 at 08:25 PM
I'll definitely take an XL, maybe 2 depending on the exchange rate. Speaking of, what about postage across the pond?
Dunno if anybody else has asked for it, but a nice blue shirt with a white logo would suit my red hair just fine.

You mean like this?
first vinyl
In other words, yes, every plan to do that. However, the blade is blunt in my cutter, so waiting for a new one to arrive from Hong Kong, and I need
to get the designer to tweak the logo slightly as it tends to rip when cutting the wing mirror. Once those minor issues are sorted I'll be
running some off.
Chris
RoadkillUK - 8/4/10 at 08:37 PM
I'd take 2 shirts from you and probably a vinyl too.

you could always by some photo transfer paper and print your username on it and then iron it on to your shirt if you want to be known.
coozer - 8/4/10 at 09:01 PM
I don't do T shirts but would take a polo with a small logo on the left breast.
Any chance?

Quite so James....
Fruit of the Loom do varying weights (quality) of T-Shirts.....the lighter the weight the lower the durability......The ones that are being quoted by
Chris, are the 'super premium' thus a heavier 'weight' .... which equals better quality and durability..... and in the long run,
better value for money.

afj - 9/4/10 at 07:56 AM
ill have another one in a 5 year olds kids size as well if possible

you can always buy clothing print sheets off eBay for a few quid. Run them through your printer with what you want and then iron them on. Not as good
as a professional print job but it's worked fine for me in the past.
speedyxjs - 9/4/10 at 05:44 PM
Il have a couple please
eznfrank - 9/4/10 at 06:14 PM
I'd have one too, probably another for an XL. I'd take a vinyl too if you can do them in red?
oldtimer - 9/4/10 at 06:32 PM
Yes please - XL white on black please. Ta

Sort of a dark orange would be nice, or a dark red, blue maybe but not too bright, a retro creamy colour perhaps...
Krismc - 13/4/10 at 05:28 PM

Staple balls - 13/4/10 at 05:38 PM
