If you know what this is, here’s the order page. If you don’t, click the jump to find out.
You can follow the links from here. The last time DTTS shirts were available was six years ago, and they were $17.50 including shipping from Murilee Martin. I’m doing American Apparel shirts for $21 shipped. My cost on these is, um, $21.90 including shipping, I think. So I’m going to lose money on every one unless we can get 50 people to order them, which won’t happen.
I’m emotionally attached to the DTTS image because Walker made original dark blue shirts for me, Jonny Lieberman, and Murilee back in 2007. But Walker’s not interested in doing another run, and my shirt has basically worn the original graphics off it because I’ve worn it under my race suit for thousands of laps. I want to share that great feeling with all of you. So sign up and pay me. If I sell like 50 of them, I’ll try to figure out a way to make a sticker and include that as well.
COL!… Seems like a lot of work to get a fresh shirt.
And I get two color tag-less shirts printed for around $4.50 - $6.00 and Polos for around $7.50 - $8.50 depending on quantity.
I prefer Polos and get a run made every few years of my favorite shirt from the early Seventies. Its a joke and a social comment on ‘nose in the air’ yachty types. It has the proper looking Yacht club emblazement shield with the words ‘Pit River Yacht Club’. The Pit River in Northern Cali is a dry, rocky stream in the Summer sailing months and most of the year in Alturas. A place for lizards to sun themselves. The hilarious part is, when in port wearing the shirts, we get guest privileges at a lot of yacht clubs… if they only knew. There actually was a tavern there may years ago that was called the Pit River Yacht Club, the original source of the shirts.
You should submit the design to http://www.gearheadshirts.com they are always looking for cool new designs to sell, they take commissions from clubs and individuals, and they will market the shirts for pre-order or just make them for you and your crew. They also have a lot of other cool designs, I buy a lot of stuff from them, very unique.
Too late — already have some orders on this channel. Good idea though!
If you email me the vector I could make some stickers.
IMA DO IT
50/50 chance I’ll never wear it but, ordered.
Same here.
Hm, I gotta find my DTTS shirt. I got one from Murilee, when he was sending me a 1971 Imperial LeBaron. Now I realize it’s been some time since I saw it for the last time…
I believe that you’re paying more than you have to. American Apparel tees are between $4 and $7 wholesale from my supplier. Two color screenprinting should just run a couple of bucks a shirt in small quantities. The big cost is shooting the screens, a one time setup cost that’s somewhere between $15 and $25 a color.
Let’s say these are the $7 shirts and the two-color screen print is $3. That’s $10. The cost of two screens over 20 shirts is $2.50 each. So that’s $12.50. For the extra $3.50 per shirt we get the online ordering and collation, shipping to my house, and someone to bitch at if things go wrong.
The amount of money I’d save by finding and hiring a local printer couldn’t be more than a dollar or two per shirt.
