I haven't seen any requests for a Ladies tee, but that might be because they assumed it wasn't possible.
It should be possible, but I'd have to add the option into the shop, so let me know.
The Gildan Premium tee is available in Ladies Dark Blue and Black
Yep, I'll get one for Mrs M in dark blue and I'll have one in green please.
ok - I've added those on there.
Just waiting for the quote to come in now... [drums fingers on desk]
Can we put this on a mug? Or something else equally apt
I looked at mugs in my last job. 500 to get the costs down to a sensible price point. They were for freebies though , so maybe if people were willing to bundle a Tee and a mug for EG £11.50 posted then it might be workable.
Will use goooglfu and have a quickie
#3 in Charcoal for me, how do I pay???

I've built a webshop where you will be able to checkout with PayPal.
Not ready with prices yet though.
#3 in xxl please in charcoal.
Charcoal for me too, 1 or 2 depending on price buddy. Thanks for sorting all this out mate!👍
Will we be sending one to sick, with the regards of the potential customers of STW?
Loved watching this.
Hate poor customer service. I'll take an xl grey. 😎

That really does want to be a simple "we sell bikes but all we've got are these lousy t-shirts"
expectations are somewhere between Tredz and Sick! in delivery speed we should be good
So, express then? 🙂
Minor update: I have prices and confirmation that I can mix colours/styles, but I've had to convert the artwork to vector which was a bit tricky with such sketchy lines. I've submitted it to their team to check no detail will be lost.
Chasing them now.
Thanks for the update!
Are they bars in Peru?
I'll be investing in one of these, be a perfect (late) birthday present for a mate.
Major Update
Pre-orders are now open!
£10 delivered in the UK (£17 worldwide)
Ordering is only possible on this link. No posts, or PMs are taken into account.
http://thingswelike.org/stw-tees
Sorry that you're having to pay upfront, but it's the only really workable way.
There are a few forum members who know me personally and you can look at my posting history to decide whether I'm trustworthy.
Final vector artwork is here:

You can see pics of all the other colours on the product page (including the 2 colours of Ladies tees that white print will work on). Hopefully there are enough to cover all tastes without it getting crazy complicated.
Orders will be taken until Sunday 24th March and then production will begin. Once the T-Shirts have been delivered to me, I will package and post them out.
All prices including tees, postage and packaging will be published and any money left over will be donated to Mountain Rescue England and Wales. Registered charity number 222596.
Any questions, let me know on here, or via PM (my email can also be seen in my profile).
And the first order is in - from France! Excellent.
Unlikely to be much you can do, but our Firewall blocks the webiste as 'uncategorized'

That's quite appropriate really, not the sorry bit obviously.

Poo - I didn't think of that. It should work on mobile if that helps.
Ordered. Hopefully Sizings are ‘standard’ and not Chinese fit. Cheers Alex

I had some warnings but all worked OK for me. Order #6
It's standard Gildan sizing russyh - I've never had a problem in the past of people finding them unusual. On the last image on the shop, there are actual measurements.

#8 sold 🙂
#9 sold 🙂
#10 here. Thank goodness for a nice round number. I really am far too square to ever be a Sick! customer.
Spin off t-shirt could be from the good ol' days of "mate, ur bik is well sarasin"

lol - I know exactly what you mean!

Yes, I think there is lots of potential for more. Maybe an annual thing. Anyway - Let's get this one out of the way first though eh 🙂 I can already see myself being tempted to pay the shopping cart company the extra £15 to enable csv output of the orders!

#11 here
Was just thinking back the the phrase of the day when I was at my MTB peak was all 😀 I will never forgive the random stranger at Afan (one the first big ride out on my shiny new Santa Cruz Superlight that I worked and saved so hard for)... who said "oh, nice bike. Saracen actually make quite nice bikes now"
Will order later when I'm home.
Point of order, your final artwork still has the STW logo/association comment on it, otherwise, 👏👏👏

There's no singletrack logo?
I personally had no idea Severn Trent Water were into bikes...
I don't think there's a problem with 'STW' - just the actual logo afaict. 'The STW Forum' is just a factual name for us as a group isn't it? (IANAL obvs).

#14 Ordered. Navy Blue. At £10 delivered its a bargain.
#16 this is brilliant!
The minimum order of 20 tees has now been reached! Thanks everyone!
Charcoal grey is the current leader!
Order #20 medium grey - would love it even more if the Ill Wind and STW forum references could be removed.
ordered! I will debut this at Trans Provence 1st evening dinner . Should be a real icebreaker i.e others will think "i hope the STW opinionated nobba in the silly tshirt doesnt come and chat to me"
Ordered.
Well it'd be rude not to wouldn't it. Order #25

#26 is heading to BC Canada.....probably in November 😉 (because our postage sucks and it'll no doubt cross the Atlantic 3 times)

I'll send it the other way - so it goes over the Pacific.
Anyway - I'm glad there's some downside to living in mountain bike and snowboard paradise
Car insurance is also horrific, can't buy beer in a super market...... 😀
BTW we're now at the first price break of 30-tees. An extra 20p per tee going to Mountain Rescue.
Next stop 50 - (which is an extra 40p going to Mountain Rescue I think).

Where did I put that tiny violin?
I’m no.28 🙂
Any chance of a headline on the front page?
‘Illwind bike co hit 100% of order target in a matter of hours!’
😉
Will order when I get home tonight after I’ve found the tape measure

Fully funded off the back of nothing more than a social media thread, a few drawings and some auto generated cg mock ups, not even a single pre production model produced.
Oh, chapeau dangeourbrain.
Ordered 👍🏼 **** it! Who wants to design a bike?
40 tees ordered so far. This is going well!

Ordered, I'll take great pride wearing it 🙂
I will make sure mine gets worn at the megavalance this summer as I mince down the glacier on my slightly dated gnarpoon.
Steve
ordered.. sorry Walleater.. hopefully we have different colors 😉
Looks like we’re better at selling gnarpoon t-shirts than everyones favourite bike T-shirt company...
I thought I'd ordered one of those, but I can't even log into indiegogo, so maybe I'm dreaming it. I think someone said they shipped them ages ago.
2 ordered. This is mint.
Down for 2, thanks mate.
I'll wear one riding in the Summer.
It'll save me asking randoms if they are on STW!
A niche of nicheness, in joke. Love it! 😁
If I'm ever beaten up on the trail....Well.... You guys can figure out the likely culprit?....✌
#51 ordered
Off to Majoorca with the roady club on the 27th April. Just the thing to wear in the evening to add to the confusion
Be nice if they were numbered , next time ( bet it adds $$$ tho )
Ordered, number 52. Thanks AlexSimon.
53!
In for #54. Thanks for sorting this.

Don't forget, trading off the goodwill generated over years by an STW Big Hitter, who isn't actually anything to do with the product 😉
Mine hasn’t arrived yet and no response from customer service😡

@tomhoward I'm not in the office all this week (secret missions) but I'll email the team and see if someone can 😉

And in the general spirit of planning the follow up before the first lot's been made: "Next year's" needs a stick man astride the same bike with "it worked on my iPad" in a speech bubble.
So we’ve sold 70+ Gnarpoon T-shirt’s in an afternoon. Where sick managed 15 in a month.
