Interesting, never thought about embordery in that way. I only thought about it in the "it's high quality look" type of way. humm, something to think about seriously then.

I have poor luck with silk-screening, the graphics tend to peel off before the shirt gets worn out and it gets converted to a shop rag before its time. I'd prefer embroidered... but I don't often wear just a shirt in the wind, so the extra weight doesn't bother me much :P.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Since I wear a jacket over my t-shirt when riding, the embroidery won't be flapping in the wind.

Another thing is....valid question here....how long do we expect a t-shirt to last anyway. Do we need embroidery so it will last 20 years or will we get tired of wearing it in a few years anyway making the silkscreen a valid option?

Decisions, decisions. :mrgreen:

T-shirts lasting 20 years? Or 10? Or 1?

Hell, after 6 months, mine are cut-up, full of holes and worn thin in the chest and shoulders..... not that such deformities would cause me to toss one out before it fell off me. :mrgreen:

And t-shirts make lousy rags anyway. That's what towels are for. :wink:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

I won't know final costs till a week from now so hang on to your wallets and purses but I am happy to announce that it will be below the majority of your cost expectataions! http://totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/viewtopic.php?t=22923 and I will also discount for orders of 2 and 3 or more as well. :D

I've also spent more and got not 1 but 3 extra limited edition prints and colors for you as well! By limited, there are only a small amount of each color available (only 20) and will not be available often, so buy one if you think you like it as it won't last and I don't know when it will be available again.

BLACK (with Red and Silver TMW logo)
Small - 5
Medium - 20
Large - 35
X-Large - 30
XX-Large - 10 (add $2.50 as that is what they are charging me extra for the size, sorry)


Orange Limited Edition (with Black and Silver TMW logo)

Small - 1
Medium - 4
Large - 7
X-Large - 6
XX-Large - 2 (add $2.50 as that is what they are charging me extra for the size, sorry)

Sadly, I only have so much money to buy T-shirts this time around. It doesn't mean there won't be long sleeve T-shirts, just that I'm not rich to buy 160 of each style. I had to make a decision and order what I thought would be most popular off the bat, or I couldn't make enough to do it again. Long sleeves are a few dollars each more expensive, but I promise to look at getting them in the future. :D

Hope you understand.

But, look on the bright side, you can get yourself a really nice T-shirt and I can use that money to put it towards buying more and possibily expanding the line to include long sleeves in the future.
