Is $18-20 each a fair price for a nice S-B T-Shirt?
 
I know I'll get some flak for this but is $18-20 each a fair price for a nice S-B T-Shirt? For the long overdue and after much harrasment :tooth:

One with the logo on front and a large multi-color picture on the back?

I need to know before I pull the trigger on a deal. A handful of people have seen some early artwork that I did and I - no sheet - have a couple hundred hours of my own time to do this shirt so its definitely not a "quickie"


Thanks,

John

Nice quality "T" for $18-20 is a bargain.

Skitterpop 09-22-2006 01:58 AM

If very high quality and nice design....not too high. You`ll need to get some 2XXs into a few 4XXXXs don`t forget :rtfm:

piemma 09-22-2006 03:51 AM

I think the operative word here is "quality". I have far too many fishing shirts that shrink up to the size of a kids shirt after a couple of washings. The best quality shirts I have found are the ones with the Guy Harvey art works on the back. They never shrink. I have a couple of his Striper drawing shirts that are 6 or 7 years old and still fit and look great.
John, I'll PM you and let you know the brand name.

UserRemoved1 09-22-2006 04:23 AM

that is a fair deal John, I think you'd do better if you did like tht and sell em for $30 each and make $10 for the site on them.

MrHunters 09-22-2006 05:29 AM

does it come with a s-b bumber sticker? :jump:


whats the too much too many years late option about?

Raider Ronnie 09-22-2006 05:44 AM

Thats fair John!
I just had a whole bunch shirts made up for my charters, and I know what it cost !
The set up, paying someone to come up with the art work and then making the silk screens is not cheap, then the actual printing the shirts is not bad over time !

Karl F 09-22-2006 05:46 AM

OK on the dough.. maybe loose the art on back..
small logo on front would be classy, with plain back.
colored shirt :uhuh: or white :doh:?

Athletic cut please, XXX

sounds good boss......

BEETLE 09-22-2006 06:09 AM

18-20, No problem John

Flaptail 09-22-2006 06:20 AM

As most tee shirts in a xxl cost more by two bucks usually, will that be the same for this one? (Actually I lost 22 pounds so far this summer but winter is coming and being a carnivore I can feel the need to pack on some winter "insulation" so the xl thing might not cut it) thanks just curious.

GBOUTDOORS 09-22-2006 06:50 AM

Good price for good shirt but do I need to order one now for lets say Xmass 2010?:soon:

Raven 09-22-2006 06:51 AM

there's three kinds
 
of t-shirts

the kind for dressier occasions that you'd never want fish blood
on .....and are a light color...
(well until their old and almost worn out)

the thick type that are still keeping you warm on a very brisk day

and the muscle T-shirt....which seem to have a more comfortable
fit...a thinner (like a favorite old t-shirt) material used to make it.

but in my opinion....a T-shirt without a front pocket absolutely sucks.
you find yourself trying to put things in a front pocket that isn't there.

the price is fine.... especially if its to help support running S-B....
desirability is more often based apon the quality of the artwork.

Any chance for a long sleeve version as most of my fishing is in the spring/fall season. An upcharge would be in order of $7-10.00. over the short sleeve version.

Joe 09-22-2006 07:17 AM

With shipping included its not a bad price - with $4 more dollars tacked on for shipping it becomes a tough sell.

Slipknot 09-22-2006 07:25 AM

20 bucks for the shirt you are proposing is fine, especially when you consider the number of colors silkscreened into it. I'll take two please in double extra large.:drool: :uhuh:
short sleeve is fine. No pocket is fine also. it's a t-shirt.
I think everyone will appreciate the amount of work you put into it.

RIJIMMY 09-22-2006 07:29 AM

thumbs up from me

reelecstasy 09-22-2006 07:32 AM

2 double XXl's for me boss man..... like robin leach said, money is no object ..unless the old lady hears about it :hidin:

Megabyte 09-22-2006 08:21 AM

I would need 2.

One for "dress" and one for "play".

Oh, what a great christmas gift.

I in.

pal156 09-22-2006 08:55 AM

nice price, please make it a pocket tshirt.
:thanks: :claps: :btu:

tynan19 09-22-2006 09:02 AM

Is it the logo on the top right of the page with the SB and Flag?

Finaddict 09-22-2006 09:16 AM

Sounds good ...

fishsmith 09-22-2006 09:35 AM

I like Salty's idea , -

I think you'd do better if you did like tht and sell em for $30 each and make $10 for the site on them.

Starfish 09-22-2006 09:46 AM

Definitely would like a t-shirt and maybe even a long sleeve. Don't mind paying the price for the tee, and for a long sleeve that would have to be about 7-10 dollars more! I don't need an XL though!;)

Jimbo 09-22-2006 10:05 AM

That's a fair price range. You pay that for a decent T-shirt in some tackle shops.

Redsoxticket 09-22-2006 11:36 AM

Fair price as you indicated, like $18 for short sleeve, $20. long sleeve

As far as additional $10 to site not a good idea. There is always raffles, TFCTFN, donating w/ free will, etc.

No pockets, I like the clean look. The pocket changes color differntly then t-shirt upon washings and material crunches up in the area of the stitches.

:usd: You can always carry your smokes rolled in the sleeves like prisoners. If you do put pockets then can I have a collar so that I can wear a tie:usd:

I'll order two in large for now
