So I posted this design in the "best climbing shirts" thread but started my own because I'm going to have this design screen printed and I need to get an idea of what sizes/quantities I should have made up. I'll be charging $12.00 for the shirt plus shipping which will probably cost around $5.00 for the states. I'd be willing to ship elsewhere but at an increased price, obviously.

So what do you guys think?

You might want to post at Supertopo too. They have a guy there who does t's and he usually gets a good response when he posts his designs(though most are repro's on older climber art).

I think the Red/gold is the *right* choice since it reinforces the imagery of revolution. But I suppose black on white would work too.

I like the idea - well done. Alas I have too many climbing t's of my own....

I like the shirt. Why not use zazzle (www.zazzle.com)? You wouldn't need to bother yourself with hassles of production and predicting demand.

I am NOT associated with zazzle, I just find the idea of on-demand manufacturing interesting.

He already uses a print-on-demand through cafepress. I think his reasoning was that he wanted to be able to get the item out to people at a lower cost. The P-O-D places do take a huge amount of the effort off the sellers hands, but their base price is also high.

It's possible(though offhand I think not) CT will get the same markup doing it this way.... Wait til he gets to deal with closing on the orders, getting payments, getting addresses, packaging and so on.... The shirts are worth more than $12.

I just wish this was available when I made my Cafepress order of your other shirt. I've got a mailbox in NY that gets forwarded to me. I'll see if I can justify spending $30 on a $12 shirt.

White on black would be racist.

It looks like he had more colors/options when I looked at the site. Pretty rockin' shirt, I must say.

I'll take a medium. Gildan is ok... but you might get some better options if you search around, there are a few nice organics available now. But if price is your concern...

I don't like your advertisement on the shirt. I won't pay you to be your walking billboard. Tell you what - you GIVE me the shirt and YOU pay shipping and THEN I will be your walking billboard.

K?

DMT

I agree. Take that website off and put me down for a medium.

...maybe for a cheaper price I'd stoop to being a tool and advertise for you.

Yeah, I know there are better shirts out there but cost was the deciding factor.

That's not a add you dolt! That's an ARTISTIC signature.

Yes, with Dingus advertising everyone will have maxi pads on their tape gloves!!

So says the Gym Slut.

Sold yourself lately?

DMT

Word. I do a lot of shirts, and I seem to come back to Gildan a lot too! The fruit of the loom loftees are pretty decent too. They have a similar slim (relative to the non climbing sloth-population) cut and price point.

Good luck! I look forward to mine. And don't sweat the URL haters, you did a decent job incorporating it into the design.

Thanks. I thought about leaving the logo off but then figured what the hell. It didn't seem to detract the design with as busy as it is.

First of all, I already have too many tees personally, so something would have to be exceptional for me to buy another.

Sometimes I like wearing one from a gym or manufacturer that I have direct knowledge of, and am willing to tout their qualities.

Other times I like to be original, or awestruck by the graphics.

My first thought was that your design was novel and I admired the effort, but like DMT, I don't know you from Adam and can't blindly subscribe to a color scheme that I don't love and a website I don't know.

Besides, I hate people looking at the small print on my body. It's degrading.

Kinda surprised by how many do.

So let's get to know each other edge. I'm a Scorpio. I like Dr.Pepper and Dewars and my middle name is Steven.

Yeah, I didn't expect everyone to love the design. Kinda surprised by how many do.

Oooooh. A Scorpio. I'm a Pisces. We are supposed to be LEGENDARY in...belaying each other. *wink wink*

I'd take a medium as well if you take the website off the shirt.

Sorry man, already being printed. *shrug*

I know this thread is about Climbing Trash' design being produced through a printer of his choice. But - Just a note for those who have some concerns about buying blindly on the internet.

IF you like the design enough to pay the price he's listed on CafePress, they have a 100% Customer Satisfaction policy. If the color isn't what you expected, the shirt or print quality isn't as you'd wished, the size is wrong...you got religion and now see climbing as the devil's handiwork - for what ever reason - CafePress will replace or refund. They are exceptionally good about this.

I don't know the shirt he is using for his own print job here(but another poster has vouched for it as being good for the cost, I think). But the "dark color Men's/Women's T" that is in his CP shop is very good for what it costs. It doesn't have one of those "ooooh, soffffft like Charmin TP" hands, but then....it doesn't cost $35 either.

I've probably ordered, for various reasons, about 100 different shirts from CP since I started my shop. They do a good job, and again, they do have an excellent satisfaction policy.



One thing I would say that bugs me about CP, though, is they price the women's shirts higher than the men's. I even them out and sell at the same price, but not all sellers do. Climbing Trash - it might be something you might consider!


And about the design - while for sure it isn't for everyone, but it's a well done graphic for the concept and theme that it has. I am jealous, because I could never have made it!

I think you are too picky in feeling the print isn't as crisp as you like. The shirt looks great. Of course it is going to be a different cast than a computer screen with the lighting behind it. But I look at the photo images and say that's a good match. They look great!

FYI - I see in CT's shop he added a sticker with the same design. Some people would probably like that for their car.

solid design (which is surprising because your website is a mess) - but again, solid design and for a good price. I hope you sell a lot of em.

I like this:

Rock Climbing is Dangerous!! So is Willy Sticking, Dumpster Diving, Flipping off your belay partner, and taking yourself too seriously. You are responsible for your own actions. If you choose to take part in anything mentioned in this site, it is at your own risk. Be careful, have fun, and if you can't handle it Click Here.

I don't push products much, but I mentioned your design on my blog. Nothing fancy, but I get a few hundred hits a week, so maybe someone will come your way.

Are you happy with cafe-press. I've consider creating an account with them, but haven't committed yet.

That is unfortunately not such a good photo.

I found it while searching for pics of my turntables which some bastards stole. <-- Fucking insurance people don't want to pay.

Good to hear. If you're not too proud some pics I could put up on climbingtrash.com would be cool.

Look, is DJ Trash!
