Rodney,

Whats the sleeve lengths on the ladies shirts? Thats more important that you would think. Also, neck styles are important as well... if its seasonal for Summer V-necks or low rise necks are good. Crew necks are all-seasonal but in the summer they get very hot.

Just wanted to chime in.

I'm excited to get my shirt. Can't wait to check out this sueded feeling fabric. Just one concern regarding that... after a few washes those peachy threads might start peaking through the print and look faded quicker than tighter threads like combed ringspun. Especially if its water based inks. How are you printing these? Probably fashion soft or water based right? You should test out the strike offs in the wash and see how it turns out.

We're getting to the final stages of the production process now.

Attached is the initial "strike off" proof that shows the actual design printed on the selected t-shirt fabric.

Next, a physical sample will be printed and mailed off so I can see the finished product before the whole job is run.

Hi folks, I don't know if I am suffering the side effects of a Psychotic episode or what, but I see a subliminal image in the design. When I tilted it 5% and stared at it for a while the whole thing changed. It started to appear as if it was an alien deaths head skull with snakes growing out of it, and the tree trunk became the nose and the roots became the mouth sucking on the world like a giant jaw breaker! Creepy I know! Has that happened to anyone else?

By far this is the best thread i have encountered! Some of the most important information i have been able to get yet.

I have been on this site for awhile; taking it all in and learning. Anyways, i have never formally intro'ed myself. I'm Cameron, from North Carolina. Introduce yourselves in a pm or wherever, I'd like to know more about the people that are a part of one of the best communities online.

P.S. I am on the road for work right now, but when i get back i am trying to plan to go to the Atlanta show, it'd be cool to meet some of you all there.

Thanks for everything.

-Cameron

Woo hoo...update time

Attached are pictures of the fully printed samples. These do a better job of showing the design, placement, hangtags.

The actual printed sample garment is also being shipped from the factory so I will be able to "see" how it looks and suggest any final changes before they go to print!

Click the images below to view larger versions

The men's t-shirt proof (looks like the print size may need to be increased for the men's t-shirts):

The women's t-shirt proof:

All packaged up and retail ready (shows FRONT of hangag):

I thought the print would be bigger. And I thought the color would be more gold and less orange (unless that's just the camera).

Can you show us what they look like on people?

Hang tags look great though.
