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

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

I've built a webshop where you will be able to checkout with PayPal.
Not ready with prices yet though.

Will we be sending one to sick, with the regards of the potential customers of STW?

That really does want to be a simple "we sell bikes but all we've got are these lousy t-shirts"

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.

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:
Gnarpoon Tee

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).

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.

#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!

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"

Point of order, your final artwork still has the STW logo/association comment on it, otherwise, 👏👏👏

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).

#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

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).
