:lol:

They have my colour too! :think:

Well I was leaving it for the others to look at something generic for any time purchases without having to buy stock. Whoever it's with, embedding a page like that is not beyond the talents of developers on here, with the T-shirt places permission would be a very good solution.

I'm still waiting on the extra T-shirts to turn up at the local. I might say F-it and just order the plain ones. I've looked at a range of quality plain ones and they seem real nice for only like £1 or 2 more than the standard type. The funky ones, were various baseball style T-shirts, accent coloured collars, sleeve rims, and such. If no-one is even bothered, there's no point waiting.

Mine will have the option of forum names on the sleeves, which the likes of the generic third party ones won't. Plus maybe an extra print than the standard left breast bit.

To be honest, I should get onto the sweatshirt / hoodies sooner rather than later as it's getting nippier! :lol:

A good friend of mine has a 18 head embroidery machine (it may not be 18 heads exactly but it is as long as his garage!) I'm sure I can get a great deal through him if anyone wants me to find out some details?

Thanks, we've had a few suggestions of various people and companies, but I'm proceeding with http://www.initiallyyours.co.uk for the first batch so we will see how we get on with them. Some repeat business for hoodies, etc later, plus repeat artwork, already set up account, etc will just be easier and enable some better prices. I have base prices for providing various volumes of all types of clothing, including supply of the garments, and either print or embroidery in a certain location on the garment. Everything other than this, I.e. larger print/embroidery or a number of locations is negotiable with the particular shop - haggling to be had!

To give people an idea, a ball park figure currently for a high quality T-shirt is coming out way under £10 for a batch of 10-49no. 50 or more and it drops again. I think most will be happy with this, the main thing I got from the original polls and comments was good quality, so that's what I've focused on. Obviously there's P & P on top mind. I'm not adding anything to these costs, 'trying' to do various batches of clothing over the coming months all in my own time. Sorry if it's slow to anyone.

As has been said before, this isn't a paid club to just go out and buy some generic stuff for 'stock'. It's two options going forward:

1) Generic logo'd products from the likes of cafepress or spreadshirt (thanks Iain) which @Merlin looked like he was taking the lead on.

OR

2) Some one off batches of various clothing, which will include other designs, forum names, etc set up by me.

Just to update, I don't know how much, but it's confirmed that the 924 owners club do get a cut of sales via that spreadshirt setup, so that sounds good to me.
Once it's setup, no admin/work for any mods/admin either, it just runs itself so that must be a bonus?

Dudes, I know there's lots of good intentions and I don't want to step on anyones toes (particularly seeing as I'm not a mod/admin etc.) but we're all mega busy so this hasn't yet been able to going anywhere.

Spreadshirt looks like the least hard work option for everyone (on that basis that I'm assuming we just supply them to a logo in image format they do all the rest and then it just needs someone clever like kawa/indigo to set up a page on here to 'host' the relevant page on their site and thereafter they just do all the sales processing with no admin work at all for anyone in the club!).

So shall I start making some enquiries to spreadshirt and then come back to you mod people with how it works/what we'd need to do to set it up and then if you like it, we can go from there?
