Haven't really put much thought in it...but we haven't had any for about 6 years. BTW - the site will be 10 years old on the 23rd.

I’m in for a new one, now if only we could get a manufacturer to pony up some co- op $ to help with the cost😁

Ones that spring to mind Chandler spock, Heiserman, Coil Audio, jsteiger audio-scape . . . any others?  |

Some sponsor content on the back to offset the cost would be good. I would hope that t-shirt sales would generate some financial support for the forum? In other words, I'd be happy to pay a couple of extra bucks to support the site.
Happy 10 year anniversary!

I haven't really bought any T's in the last couple decades that are not a heavier cotton weave. Prefer how it drapes and feels against the skin. Cotton washes up nicely, too.

Yes if its 100% cotton. Comfort Colors or the Gildan alternative are nice quality shirts... Also if you need a reference for a quality screen printer I have one for you.

I've found that the Bella+Canvas brand t-shirts are by far the best feeling and fitting shirts out there.
I'd vote for a V neck version too..

I'm in for a t-shirt. But let's make sure to have a weeks long discussion about various cotton weaves and printing techniques before actually settling on anything. I just want to make sure my t-shirt has a tight bottom end and a smooth top end. Nail that and I'm good.

Could also use something like Spring: teespring.comWouldn't make much profit on the shirts but you wouldn't have to put up anything on the front end. Also wouldn't have to worry about ordering the right number of sizes, etc.. Just a thought! |

Also wanted to make a little dough to offset costs, and when you go this route they take a huge chunk. |

I haven't really bought any T's in the last couple decades that are not a heavier cotton weave. Prefer how it drapes and feels against the skin. Cotton washes up nicely, too. If you're past your 30s and don't have an athletic body, heavier weaves look much better. That's why some of us start using traditional mesh polos regularly. Not as stuffy as a shirt, and not as sloppy as a thin t-shirt. Losing weight is much more important, but a heavy weave is a good stop gap. |

Not all 100% cotton is created equally. I would prefer an organic cotton or even a bamboo fitted tee. The Gildan's and usual suspects are all so boxy fitting and way too pricey for what they offer. They are junk one size for all when there are so many different body types and really importantly, height! I'm a little taller than average and fitting a tshirt can be tricky from the generic brands like Gildan.
There are shirt manufacturers that know how to make a proper fitting t shirt that doesn't feature the belly of less fit wearers. You want em snug in the shoulders and upper chest and looser in the abdominal area and long enough to be worn with lifting or bunching up on a rounder physique. A proper tshirt costs though and it's well worth it as opposed to buying a shirt and never wearing it because the fit is unflattering.
I'll find some links. One thing you could do is "sell" access to the artwork to be printed and people can have their own preferred t shirts printed.

I'll do my best to get a quality shirt...but unfortunately I can't please everyone. That’s another thing about spring. People can choose the kind of fabric they want. I don’t have any affiliation or anything…just after going through many rounds of band merch I got tired of the hassle. I think Amazon does in demand merch now too for another option. |

What ever you do someone won’t be happy, and all it is is a fing T shirt. Funny enough I didn’t hear any of the Taylor Swift fans complaining about their shirts (except the merch truck running out) but boy the complained about everything else. |

Hi John, I have some pretty decent contacts and can even help facilitate if you like? I have merch made often and the quality so far has been great.
I’d like some shirts too please. 4xl for me.
