Linda, can we put our name on a "Will Take One" list so that when we get 8 or more everyone will know the price drops to $40 per shirt?  That way when we place our order, we'll know what the final price will be.

Ask Kevin if it would be possible to get our name and username embroidered in white.  I thought that the black embroidery for the name blended in with the red, especially it being that close to the juncture of the black and red panels. 

What's the cost for the extra embroidery on the sleeve? 

How do we get our money to you?  In what form, if mailed?  Made out to who if check or money order?

Kevin said he could do the name in white. For now, let's just get a list of people who want one. We can collect money later, when we know how many.

I will buy one XL.

Front name: Roger

I like Tinks idea of peach color stitching.

Anyone care to Photoshop that?


BTW: Sorry I missed the meeting but with only one door on the Fiero I thought not.
And...It is finally fixed! It was the latch not the pin and I put on new hinges while I was at it.

1 XXL for me, please.

Thanks for following through on these...  Kevin is giving us a great deal!

For those of you who did not come to the meeting, here are some pictures of the shirt in question.



Kevin said he could, on an individual basis, make the writing other colors. White would show up better, and my own idea is peach color. The peach in the logo actually looks better than in my picture.

I need to know what the smallest size available is, please   :D.

Shannon will take one in a size Large.  She wants her username on the sleeve, but not in white.  She would prefer black stitching.  Once I know if there's a size that will fit me, I'll let you know if I want one. 

We're really excited about these shirts...I think they look GREAT!

Is that the logo you plan to use, or this one like we use on our shirts?

Have you decided what type style will be used on the logo, yet?  Still waiting on info on how to get the money to you. 
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: TopNotch on October 19, 2013, 11:16:56 am
The design on the prototype looks like our website:

And I think the block letters would be harder to do in embroidery.
We are waiting for a firm 8 or more request before taking money. If we take it by paypal, I don't think we should make the club "eat" the paypal charge.
So if the shirts cost $45, people would have to paypal 46.60. We're still mulling this over.

If you send it as a "gift" through Paypal, there is no fee to the club.  Just a thought.

In looking for a matching version in a smaller size, I happened upon this site that sells a shirt that looks like ours and I got worried when I saw a note under the size chart.
 
http://www.stellarapparel.com/store/cyclone-racing-pit-crew-shirt,Product.asp

Anyone know if the shirt Kevin is using is the cyclone seen here?  Some bad inconsistancies are noted by this vendor about the cyclone shirt manufacturer... under size chart... would not want us to start with a style we can't readily get when needed for members.  Cause its not just now, but for the future members as welll....  I know we want everything uniform!

They recommend this version, which also has a match women's version, and that got me thinking.... ok they do make a women's version.
http://www.stellarapparel.com/store/908-racing-pit-crew-shirts-downshifter,Product.asp

Surely Kevin can find a version that matches in a women's or kids version?  Did anyone ask him that specifically?

Just thought this was important to mention.  Surely she won't be the only member who will need a smaller size.  Again thinking about the future here.  We want everyone to match.  Women and men.... and I don't think folks should be forced into potato sack fitments to stay uniform or go without.

Just my 2 cents.... did not expect zero versions for the smaller in the crew.

Please someone check with Kevin to see about kids or a woman's version. And verify these are not the cyclone shirt that we might have issues getting.... or if I can get Kevins number, I will ask....  I'm sure he has contacts I can't find online....I will continue to look for a women's or kids version that matches ours though. 

If he can't find something for Patty, but I do, what will it cost for embroidery?

Thank you!
Shannon

Sucess!
Found a version called "vortex" ... I'm not sure what the fabric blend was on Kevin's version to compare.
I think these are the way to go.... or I can instead get a ladies one for Patty.  I just need the embroidery cost!

Ladies

Men's
http://www.usaracingapparel.com/Vortex_Shirts.html



Looks like the same shirt as Kevin's and they have the matching Ladies!  :D

And Tim... hats too!
http://www.usaracingapparel.com/Racing_Caps1a.html
This one is $5.20... red & black or black & red


This one $8.60 (including embroidery of logo)


I'm feeling the jacket!

RR & Tink:

Bear in mind that Kevin's is (100%?) cotton so it might very well shrink...

I'm sure Kevin would do special emboridery even if you bought a shirt somewhere else; but Pine Tree Embroidery at Gwinnett Place Mall is very reasonable, and I'm sure there are hundreds of other custom embroidery places at malls throughout the area...

I'd tell some embroidery puns, but I'd leave you in stitches!!!

Post by: redraif on October 22, 2013, 04:40:52 pm
Ok 100% cotton... the ones i found are not that.  They are a blend. :(

On the cotton shrinkage, if I go off the vortex chest sizes...

Ladies xs is 32-34 chest
Small is 35-38
She usually buys women's small in shirts, sometimes xs.

The men's xs is 44 chest, which is equal to women's xl.  And Kevin's start at small so 47 chest so 2xl.

Can't see the cotton shrinking 10 inches to give her a proper fit... no way a xxl to a small. I guess if the vortex looks the same maybe it can be an option for the smaller folks?  Unless Kevin's source has women's or kids?

I can't remember how the back was on Kevins... was it the same?
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: Fiero GTB on October 22, 2013, 08:43:00 pm
I say we put the shirt on her, dip her into a vat of WD-40, freeze dry her until the shirt shrinks to the proper size, then thaw her out with a blowtorch...   Whaattt....?   Why not?

Seriously, the "Pacer" jacket at your link looks good, too.  I'm not saying that we all end up looking like a marching band all in identical uniforms down to the socks, but I suppose if we made caps, jackets, etc. available on an individual basis...

How many "I'll Take One" 's do we have?  Enough to get the discount?
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: redraif on November 07, 2013, 12:06:49 am
I will have to call the place I found and see what shipping is on Patty's depending on the $ I may have to get mine from there to make hers worth while.
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: Fierofool on November 18, 2013, 09:16:34 am
Any progress in finalizing a choice of shirts and setting a price? 
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: TopNotch on November 18, 2013, 10:06:01 am
I'm trying to find out if Kevin will collect Paypal directly, since we don't have enough for a group discount.
If not, I will set  up a Paypal link, and I will have to charge $46.60, since I don't think the club should have to "eat" the Paypal charge on this.
Paypal is free only if it is a gift to friends or family. I'm not sure that giving a gift to a business account counts.
If someone knows more about this (for sure, not speculation), please let me know.
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: Fierofool on November 18, 2013, 11:25:57 am
Multiple 'gifts' in the same amount might put up a red flag and jeopardize our account.  Kevin could set up a paypal account and receive the monies direct. 
Title: Re: CLUB SHIRTS
Post by: GrannyLinda on November 23, 2013, 04:06:57 pm
Kevin Has Asked If I Could Collect All The Orders And
Money And Send Them To Him As 1 Order With A Check From The Club.
Shirts Are $ 45.00 Since We Do Not Have 8 People That Want Them.
Kevin Will Need ;
Name
Size
Black Or White Lettering
If You Want Your Forum Name On The Sleeve.
So We Don't Have To Go Through Pay Pal, I Can Pick Up Your Info. And
Checks At The Next Meeting.
Please Make Your Checks Out To The Georgia Fiero Club.

Can we wait until after the first of the year to place our orders?  I've talked with some and with the holidays, there's not a lot of discretionalry income.  Those of us who are retired and using Medicare may be in the donut hole, like myself and having to pay full price for medications until next year's policies kick into effect.  By delaying it may also bring in enough people to get the number of people we need for the discount.  The only group thing we have going outside of the Christmas party is the Polar Bear Run on Dec. 28.

Guys...

We totally flaked.  I havent been on the forums much lately.
I will be getting a shirt for Greg, so I am glad there is a delay.    He is in Michigan for the holidays, so we will get you more info when he gets back.
How many orders do we have so far?

Since everyone felt that $45 was too much, I explored Redraif's link and found these.  The Racer's Choice at the top of the page and the Cyclone at the center of the page are both $30.  There are no women's styles in either, but the Double Clutch Polo is similar in style.  The Racer's Choice is the only one that has a full sized pocket.  Cyclone only has a small stopwatch pocket. 
http://www.stellarapparel.com/store/racing-pit-crew-blank-shirts,category.asp   

I just spoke with them and there's no discount unless we order 20 or more shirts and then it's only a dollar or two less. 

QuickTees will digitize our logo for a one time fee of $45.  Kevin already has it digitized, but it would need to be reduced to 3 inches for left chest and caps.  Do we have a price from Kevin for just embroidery?  Left chest logo and right chest forum name would be standard.  Real name on the sleeve should be optional.  So we need a price for the combination left chest logo and right chest username.  Then the individual price for right sleeve name. 

I just saw the link to the Vortex which has both men's and women's in that style.  I think that's the way to go.  Just need embroidery prices from someone.

Also, what embroidery does this include?  Logo?  Username?  Given name?  Cost for anything beyond the base charge?

I'm glad this has finally been settled.  Thank you.

Put me down for 1 Large with Fierofool tattoed on the right chest.  Nothing on the sleeve.
