Pre-Order T-Shirts

So... we can get T-Shirts. Really high quality T-shirts (American Apparel - 100% Cotton) , where the ink is a part of the garment and won't fade, and isn't a raised image or anything. (They actually remove the die in the shirt and replace it with the ink of the design.) We will be able to get all of the detail Matt and Ragani put into the design on good quality material.

BUT, they're not going to be cheap. $25 (or $15 if you provide a shirt you want printed on - see below).

If you order in advance, I can custom order shirts for people, so if you want a ladies T or Spaghetti Strings, I can order that. I can also order specific color shirts (grey, blue, black, red etc). I need to know that at least 15 people will buy them before going to print. The advantage to you is that you get exactly what you want!

Here's what the shirts might look like. I'm open to suggestions, and if you're ordering a specific style and size (you can choose anything cotton from American Apparel - americanapparel.net/wholesal.../men.html or provide your own 100% Cotton shirt from thrifting or what-have-you).

FRONT: Swing Goth logo with the skulls as seen on the back of the current flyer. This image will be up in the right side where emblems normally are.

BACK: Pretty much the front of the current flyer minus all the text. So the top will read, "Swing Goth," with the sub-heading, "Partner Dancing with a darker twinge," and the bulk of the back will be the illustration.

The first feelers that I put out said that people wanted high end. I could do lower end for less, but it would be a typical print that might or might not fade, some of the details would be lost, the T-Shirt wouldn't be as soft... etc etc.

If you want a T-Shirt please place your order below. Once I get 10-15 and have everyone's shirt selections, I'll go to press.

    I would have through bowling shirts would be more suitable. Then people could get their names embroidered.

      We could do that. But sourcing bowling shirts that were 100% cotton was nigh impossible, and failing that, the screen print would be of lower quality.

      If we DID source 100% cotton shirts, then the embroidery would cost more. This would make the shirts $30-$40. I haven't completely checked because I thought that was overly pricey. If people want to go that option, it's available.

    I'll definitely get one. I should go to A.A. and see what size is right. With most manufacurers it's boys' large...

    Color: Black
    Size: XS

      You try shirts on at Alcoholics Anonymous?

        Wow, I think I speak for both myself and my gay boyfriend when I say, thanks for the link to the hot man-candy!

        That said, if we can really have any AmApp model, I like 3368H Highlighter 2x1 Rib U-Neck Tank (or anything boobalicious)

        Black, women's M
