Polo Shirts for the board?

[Nemesismachine]

I have a couple embroidered VW shirts I got from a dealership a while ago, and I got to thinking about a T-M shirt. It would be just a plain polo with the mopar "m" on the left sleeve and "Turbo-Mopar.com" next to it. Throwing it out there, any interest? It would be embroidered, not some stupid patch or iron on. Looking around $20 per shirt if there's enough interest.

[rbryant]

I would get one.

Better work with Frank on the rights to the logo, etc.

-Rich

[WVRampage]

Sounds like somehting I would get.

[bradp]

I'd take a couple

[slasky]

I would get one too.

[cordes]

If they were a really nice dry fit style shirt I would be in for one. I wouldn't want a white one though for obvious reasons.

[omni_840]

Thats a pretty good idea, I would probaly get one :)

[tvanlant]

I'd be up for one or two. Preferably not white, though. Black would be sweet with the blue mopar lettering.

[Nemesismachine]

I am open for suggestions. Black with white lettering, whatever. Throw some ideas out there and I'll get some pricing.

[black86glhs]

Nemesis, how about the GLH-T blue with black lettering? I'de be for one or two.

[Nemesismachine]

Nemesis, how about the GLH-T blue with black lettering? I'de be for one or two.

I'm afraid I'll need more details. Shirt color, Mopar logo, lettering color. You mean the light blue shirt with black "Turbo-Mopar.com" lettering?

[black86glhs]

Sorry should have been more specific...in person I am. lol
The GLH-T blue is the color of the shirt(as close as possible) and if Frank gives the OK, black "Turbo-Mopar.com" sounds good.

[bradp]

I think CSXT blue (stripes and lettering) with white T-M lettering would be awesome.

[Nemesismachine]

It's got to be kept simple, to keep the price reasonable. Solid color shirt, the moper 'm' logo, and Turbo-Mopar.com"

If you were to look at the sleeve, it would read like this:

M Turbo-Mopar.com

That's a horrible representation, but you get the idea. The M being the mopar logo, like the logo for the site.

[black86glhs]

I like that.:thumb:

[Shelbydaytona91]

I'd be up for one or two. Preferably not white, though. Black would be sweet with the blue mopar lettering.

+1. I also think just a plain t-shirt in that style would be pretty cheap to do and sweet. I'd buy at least one of each.

[Aries_Turbo]

id take one or two. :)

Brian

[GLHSKEN]

Awesome idea

[shelbyES]

Yup! I'm interested!:thumb:

[Nemesismachine]

Got a PM in to Frank, trying to use our logo rather than a modified version (T-M through the mopar logo rather than next to it). Soon as I get the go ahead, I'll have a batch of 10 or so made as a feeler for the board here, then we can dip into others. I'll have pictures as progress is made.

Like this?

Here are our color choices.

[cordes]

Perhaps it is just me, but a shirt like this...

http://www.companycasuals.com/EG/b.jsp?id=302530&prodimage=imglib/catl/K467_New_Front.jpg&swatch=Blueberry%2FNavy

Would be much more comfortable to wear on the day of a hot car show.

[Nemesismachine]

We can do those instead, they're just more expensive. What's the general consensus? I love the quick cool polos I got from Carlisle...

[Frank]

I will send you a PM later tonight...

I like these and the color looks to be a little darker.

[Nemesismachine]

Everything's good with the embroidery shop, he's waiting for the go ahead to make em. I just need to get with Frank before we pull the trigger.

[Aries_Turbo]

i dont like that blue... its exactly like my shirts for work.... then again, i could wear the TM shirt and no one would notice. :)

Brian

[Frank]

I sent you an e-mail...

[Nemesismachine]

I placed the order for 4 test prints, 1 of each color. When they're done I'll have some pictures up and we can start placing orders.

[cordes]

Sounds good. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[shelbyES]

Sweet!:thumb:

[Nemesismachine]

Frank the fatty's shirts cost like $3 extra apparently. LOL 2XL and up cost a bit more. Normal price will be $25 per shirt for the quick dry or whatever and $20 for a cotton polo. I'll make up a list of colors and such when I get proofs back from the embroiderer.

[Nemesismachine]

Here we go! Taking orders, this is the logo on the left sleeve. Let's get a list of who wants what colors and I will place the orders as they come in.

[Turbodave]

(1) Steel dry-fit, XL please

[Turbo3Iroc]

I'll order one black dry fit in large please.

[fleckster]

I'd like one in Steel, Dry-fit in my patented size "Flecktra Large!" (aka 3XL). Where do we send the money?

[Nemesismachine]

Ok, here's how the pricing will go. $5 will cover shipping.

Cotton polo: $25
Dry-Fit: $30

Theres a $2 extra fee for the widebodies. Not my rules, thats straight from the embroiderer. I have an email in to him as we speak about their status. Trying to get some pictures before I start taking serious orders.

Payment can be sent to my paypal, along with a description of what you want to order. I dont know you guys by name yet, and we all know paypal uses real names and addresses for shipping purposes.

nick.girard@gmail.com

[Aries_Turbo]

what was the breakpoint for +2$? 2xl?

so for a cotton polo like i want in 2xl it will be 25+5shipping+2? so 32 total?

Brian

[Nemesismachine]

correct.

$25 shirt
$ 2 XL 'fee'
$ 5 shipping
$32 total.

:)

[cordes]

I totally forgot to ask, and I just paypaled you the money for the shirt, but could I get a tall? I can always PP you the difference.

[WVRampage]

1 black dry fit large please.

[Aries_Turbo]

correct.

$25 shirt
$ 2 XL 'fee'
$ 5 shipping
$32 total.

:)

cool. oh yeah, can you get 2XLXT??? extra tall.

Brian

[Nemesismachine]

Straight from the printers mouth:


Unfortunately, they are not offered in a tall. Most short sleeve shirts are not. I do have a Ladies companion style if that is of interest.



Best Regards,

Kurt

Not suggesting the ladies style is the replacement for the tall, just another option to those female T-Mers out there.

"Hey, ith a lady!"
-Leon Phelps

[Nemesismachine]

As for length, these are pretty long (thats what she said). If youre worried about length, get one size up and I'll put money it is long enough (stop it).

[Frank]

Dang! Those do look sharp!

[Aries_Turbo]

you have any samples of the regular cotton? im thinking about switching to the dry fit. you havent placed my order yet did you?

Brian

[Nemesismachine]

Not yet. I have a sample of the cotton, it's the VW shirt I posted earlier. Same kind of shirt, different logo.

[Aries_Turbo]

i guess (if its ok with you) id like to change my order to the dry fit darker blue like the one in the pic. i like that. XXL please

Brian

[johnl]

2 xls, one green, one burgandy, dry fit/wicking

[Nemesismachine]

I can order these shirts, the best way to do this is to paypal me your order.

nick.girard@gmail.com

Cotton
$20
$5 shipping
$2 extra XL and up

S-L $25
XL-XXXL $27

Dry-Fit
$25
$5 shipping
$2 extra XL and up

S-L $30
XL-XXXL $32


Whichever amount I see in my paypal I know which shirt, I just need a color.

[mcsvt]

Is shipping $5 per shirt?

[BadAssPerformance]

Dude, these look badass! Still accepting orders?

Good question, is shipping less for multiples?

[Nemesismachine]

Is shipping $5 per shirt?

Yes. That should get a quarter pound polo shirt about anywhere. :)

[black86glhs]

OK. So $5 a shirt shipping. That means 2 shirts, $10.:thumb: Quit whining about the shipping, its still cheaper than almost anyone on scam-bay!! :p

[slasky]

I just sent you $$$$$

[Aries_Turbo]

i just sent money too. just to make sure that i didnt mess up my message in the paypal thing, darker blue dryfit in XXL

Brian

[Nemesismachine]

lol, $5 should get both shirts there.

[fleckster]

Payment sent...

[Nemesismachine]

Got the next round in to the embroider, should be done by the end of the week. I'll try to bring some to Carlisle, if you folks want to pick it up instead.

[mcsvt]

So if I put my order in today I could get them at Carlisle? Will do :) I'll put my order in now, either way.

edit: Money sent (finally, no internet at home for 2 weeks now).

[Clay]

awesome! Ill get my order to you tonight!! :)

[Nemesismachine]

I dont suppose anyone wants dark blue, light blue, or white shirt in L do they? I have these available NOW, and can be shipped out ASAP.


I am going to TRY and get them up to carlisle, Thats why I placed a huge order today. I'll let you guys know by Friday.

[slasky]

I need mine shipped since I can't make carlisle.

[Nemesismachine]

I need mine shipped since I can't make carlisle.

I'm going to ship them all, unless someone says they'll be at carlisle. Then I'll just bring it with me.

About that, if I brought like 20 shirts on hangers, you think the people at the gate would charge me?

[black86glhs]

Oh yeah. Carlisle would be good for me, since I'll be there. Damn, just realized I didn't send my payment. It will be there soon.

[Turbo3Iroc]

I sent you funds for a large black a couple days ago. I can pick it up at Carlisle.

[Nemesismachine]

Ok, I'll have cash for shipping for those that will be at carlisle.

[Frank]

Well I am wearing one of the new polo shirts right now and WOW!!! They are sweet!!!!! They are perfect for length!

[Nemesismachine]

:Update:

Shirts will NOT be ready for Carlisle. Spoke with the embroiderer this morning. Sorry guys.

[cordes]

Well I am wearing one of the new polo shirts right now and WOW!!! They are sweet!!!!! They are perfect for length!

Excellent!

[WVRampage]

I saw the one Frank had on it the shirts look great.

[Mr overkill]

saw them also

will buy one also

[Nemesismachine]

I was over there for a minute (PB, TU tent) and chatted a bit.

[contraption22]

I saw the one Frank had on it the shirts look great.

Seconded. I want one!

[Turbo3Iroc]

Was looking for you but never was able to spot you.

[Nemesismachine]

I was wandering around with a white one on. I picked my camera bag up at an awkward angle and fouled my back up, so it was a short day for me. (For those that saw my camera, you understand why :P) I trolled around the mini mopars most of the time, looking for a hybrid to get some reference on. I only saw one! Over by the barn (one of em)

I'll have shirts out to those that have paid mid-week. Should be done today or early tomorrow.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Must have missed you then, I don't recall seeing the white polo.

[Nemesismachine]

I would have made more noise IF the shirts were done. Because I didn't bring them with me, I didn't shake too many hands. That combined with stabby back pain made for a few quick pulls through the TD section.

[Nemesismachine]

Shirts are in, I'll be sending the volley of PMs for those who ordered shirts. Theres a lot of them, I think I got everybody. Pics tonight to prove it. :)

Nick

[Clay]

Excellent!!

[Nemesismachine]

I got a few late orders, so a couple people will have to wait an extra week for their orders. Names to follow.

***I know, the suspense!!!***

[Nemesismachine]

lets see some pictures of those that received their shirts rocking them...

Hopefully you guys are pleased with the outcome. :)

Nick

[cordes]

Mine just came in this morning. I will try to get a pic of myself wearing it up today. It fits pretty well. The length is nice, but I hope it doesn't shrink up to much in the wash otherwise my arms will be really tight in the selves. I tend to have that problem though, so it's not a complaint at all.

[Nemesismachine]

I've washed mine twice already. no problems yet...

[Aries_Turbo]

i got mine. beautiful! :) fits great!

Brian

[mcsvt]

Mine were waiting for me today when I got home. Fits great!

[black86glhs]

<wishing mine were here>
Hurry up. I'm running out of clothes to wear and don't want to do laundry.;)

[slasky]

i got mine. beautiful! :) fits great!

Brian

My wife even likes it too.

[1FastCSX289]

***I know, the suspense!!!***

Can you still order more? Somehow I missed this whole thread. :(

[Nemesismachine]

Of course you can. Turnaround is about a week. Glad you guys like em! The goal was to have something nice to wear. We all like to go out, and wearing a car on fire or other cartoony design might not always be appropriate. Like playing golf for example. :thumb:

[johnl]

Hey, got mine, the dry-fit type; no shrinky, no color fade; they're great.

Thanks Nick.

[Keito]

Shirts are in, I'll be sending the volley of PMs for those who ordered shirts. Theres a lot of them, I think I got everybody. Pics tonight to prove it. :)

Nick

Someone post a pic of their shirt already!

[mcsvt]

I'll take a pic of my shirt later, but I'm not posing :)

[Nemesismachine]

Whoever HAS NOT received a shirt, please PM me. I have quite a few names of people that wanted them, but never paid, and those that paid, a couple that are in a current order. Sound off like you got a pair. :P

[fleckster]

Nate, I got mine! It's sweet! I wore it to work yesterday! Thanks a bunch!

They aren't the best pics and they don't do the shirt justice, but they were the best I could manage with Joy operating the camera.

She really liked it and wants to oder one for herself also.

[fleckster]

You really LOOK like you are enjoying the shirt, Cordes! lol

I don't care to smile for pictures. It hurts my cheeks since I am not used to it.

[Clay]

I dont believe I have received mine yet. I got a notice from paypal that they were being shipped, then I got another notice that canceled the shipment.

Im not worried, but you said you wanted to know!! ;)

[Aries_Turbo]

got mine.

brian, you sure seem to be smiling in the "trained circus bear on a tricycle" photos! ;)

[Nemesismachine]

Nice! They're not prison shirts, why so sullen?? :P

Where did you get my portrait?

[tvanlant]

I received mine, but haven't had a chance to take it out of the package yet.

I wish our vendors had as good of customer service and shipping time as you do ;)

[slasky]

Cordes it looks like there are more than 2 lights on for your picture. Is that why you look sad???

[cordes]

Cordes it looks like there are more than 2 lights on for your picture. Is that why you look sad???

No, just one. However, Joy's mom was here all week from MI. That had me running around the house turning off lights left and right.

[DC Turismo]

Would you by chance have a Medium in the dry fit left?

[Nemesismachine]

I have a couple larges left, all the mediums are seperate orders.

[Nemesismachine]

next order is in, I'll pick it up tomorrow and have them out by weeks end.

[tvanlant]

I like my shirt a lot, but it is a bit big. Can you get me a Medium black when you make your next order?
Thanks

[Nemesismachine]

Can-do. I'll PM you when I place the next one. Should be about a week. That okay?

Those that are waiting, I haven't forgotten! I'll get them to you!

[tvanlant]

Sounds good. I just sent you the $$ for the shirt. Let me know if you need my shipping address again.
Thanks

[Nemesismachine]

got it, ordered this morning.

[Nemesismachine]

got the previous order, will ship tomorrow.

[Nemesismachine]

For those that placed orders, I am picking the shirts up tomorrow morning and shipping them saturday. Should see them tuesday or wednesday at the latest. sorry for the delay!

[shelbyES]

Thanks for the update!:D

[Clay]

I guess I should say something, since I got my shirts a couple weeks ago.

These things are AWESOME! Great shirts, and Im not a polo fan, but these dry fit shirts rock!!

Big thanks for putting this together!

[tvanlant]

Hey Nick,
I didn't get that second shirt I ordered. Let me know if you still have it!
Thanks

[ekimdam]

PM Sent.... No shirts yet???

[Nemesismachine]

Anyone else not get a shirt? I got a little backed up, and 1 order got all fubar'd. ekimdam, your shirts are being picked up today.

[Nemesismachine]

The weather is getting nicer out, anyone who didn't get one of the embroidered polo's want to start another group buy? It's easier to order them in bulk, rather than one at a time. The turn around is faster. Frank and a few other members can attest to how nice they are, and how well they breathe!

[ShelGame]

I'm in for one...

[Clay]

things are awesome! I would be in for a couple more!

[Twisted Noodle]

Count me in for at least one!

[Nemesismachine]

For those that are unfamiliar, this is the logo on the left sleeve:

http://www.thisideup.com/Hybrid/swatches.jpg

The popular choice has been Dri-Fit shirts, and there are a few members that can vouch for their comfort. These are some of the shirts I had made up the first go around:

http://www.thisideup.com/Hybrid/TM3.jpg


http://www.thisideup.com/Hybrid/TM2.jpg


http://www.thisideup.com/Hybrid/TM1.jpg

They are $30 apiece, $25 for the shirt and $5 to ship it.

[Nemesismachine]

I also have gray with white lettering, just not pictured.

[J&H Ryan]

I also have gray with white lettering, just not pictured.
Is this the steel mentioned? I could not find it on that color page. Do you have a pic of it? Can't decide between blue, gray, and black:o

[Nemesismachine]

gray and steel are the same color. I just called it what would be easily recognizable.

[Twisted Noodle]

Did we decide anything on these yet?
