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

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.

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.

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 !

LETS GO BRANDON

small logo on front would be classy, with plain back.

Question

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.

Why even try.........

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!

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

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.

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

I'll order two in large for now

I have never considered buying any sort of shirt no matter what the subject or internet forum, however, because this site is one of my favorites, I'd pay for one no problem. This site is great and despite not really knowing anyone, the information and entertainment is fantastic. Of course, we'll be able to view the proposed shirt beforehand, right?

I got a nice striped bass shirt from Soft as a Grape on the Cape, the colors were red, white and blue on the striper, red-white and bass I told my girl and she laughed, for the clearance price of $5 I was in. Only wish I bought more.

$18 seems fair for multi color, most of the ones I see on a quality Tee run $16-$18.

If you build it, they will come........
Once you have the initial work done, the printing is the same, be it a short sleeve, with or without pockets, long sleeve etc.... Just be sure the first run does not create a deficit.

Count me in, I have paid more for t-shirts that were not worth $5
( I am a sucker for bar room t-shirts, usually way overpriced and poor quality) are you going to have kids sizes available?
