Ski. Every. Day T-Shirt Interest Check

After taking a good two year hiatus from NS I've been browsing the forums again.  Anyways, these are two VERY SIMPLE but effective T-Shirt designs I've been pondering making for quite some time now.  I enjoy ski clothing but have yet to find anything that resembles much of the clothing I enjoy wearing.  At this point I thought I'd throw em' up here and see if any of you would be interested in making a purchase. 

I'd like to to do two limited runs of each design.  Both on black American Apparel 50/50 cotton/poly t-shirts to limit shrinking.  I'd probably start with 25 of each style unless demand is strong.  But I don't expect it.

Remember, these are about as simple as it gets.  Keep an open mind ladies and gentlemen.  If you don't like em', go ahead and say it.  If you do, hit me back and let me know.

Yes, read the post. 

Like I said, I'd like to do two runs of each style.  25 shirts a piece. 

Meaning these will be limited to just 50 shirts total.  They'll be available through me to all those with a paypal account.  If demand is high enough these could get printed within the next few weeks.

Prices will be $30 USD which will include shipping via USPS.

PLEASE PM ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

i think the one on the right is sicker, but if you're printing both it doesn't matter. however, $30 is mad dough for a simple tshirt. i know you're not a huge business at all, but thats still mad steep and something i certainly can't afford. sorry bro.

Perhaps the pricing was a bit premature.  We might be able to go $25 shipped. On these. 

And yes, we're not a big business.  Just putting ourselves out there to see what sort of interest people might have.  If kids are willing to support this kind of stuff we'll surely do more. 

I just have yet to find very many articles of clothing coming from even the corest of ski co's that offer the styling I've been looking for.  It all seems to be the same stuff rehashed over and over again.

Keep the messages coming from those who might be interested.

I like it but it would be sicker if it was a white T-shirt and the words went pink, yellow then baby blue (like a rainbow)

At this point cost is NOT CONCRETE. 

The $25 cost is an estimate.  Depending on our printing costs we may even be able to get these down around $20 EACH.

And please take into account that our shipping cost is INCLUDED in the flat price.

Remember, this was an interest check.  We've got people here at home we plan to print for.  But if enough of you Newschoolers are interested in wearing some Ski.Every.Day clothing we'd like to provide it for you.

If you'd like to rip off the designs and print them yourselves feel free.  We're not going to stop you.

Like I said, interest check.  If ya don't want em', don't buy em'.  Simple as the t-shirt itself.

I like the design, but black is not my color. Also, $25 is crazy. $15 would be the absolute most, and that's pushing it.

K then I'll go $15 on the shirt and $5 for shipping.  How does that sound?

Regardless, you order a T-Shirt online and you're gonna pay a bit more than you would on the street.  $20 shipped is a reasonable price.  And like I will continue to say, I don't buy 4FRNT gear that I don't like.  So don't buy one of these T-Shirts if you don't like it.

Well, you're also paying for the skill and effort put into the graphic. To some extent that justifies spending 20 bucks on a quiksilver or what have you shirt. The graphic you have is just way too simple to justify 20 bucks plus shipping.

Well, better response than I had imagined with the exception of drunk SkiEER ^.  But not bad nonetheless.

As I get closer to actually printing these I'll post a link where you'll be able to buy the shirts using paypal.

Also, I'll update cost as soon as I found out for sure and I'm hoping I can get them down a bit lower to satisfy all of you. 

Once the first run of shirts are gone we'll see about printing them up in a number of different colorways!

Thanks for the input and responses guys and be on the lookout within the next week or so for a link where you'll be able to purchase.

Cheers.

Here's just another preliminary design guys.  I'll keep you guys posted when we can get a point of sale site up and running in the next few days.

This is a little louder.  Just as tight.
