Re: IML: Embroidered Shirts

[<dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert!...I was wondering when one of our 'International' members would chime in on this. I know there are a number of members also in the U.K. and Sweden plus Norway, if I remember right...sorry if I have left out a number of other member's countries!!...and YES, of course!....once we get some final designs to show you, I will post them to the IML in general and everyone can take a look at what we offer. While I have my own PayPal account which would naturally be the simplest way to do things, we are planning on a flat-rate for shipping just for the lower-48 states. Alaska/Hawaii/International/etc will be shipped AT COST with Insurance. While I don't want to make this into some confusing legalise-paperwork matter I do want it to be fair for everyone no matter WHERE they live! 

I also want to say again that I really would like anyone who has a suggestion or a comment to PLEASE email me either via the general IML posts or directly (dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx) if you want it to be between you and I. So far all comments have been 100% in favor !!...which is great to hear. The shirts are embroidered one-at-a-time, not on some commercial machine that does 10-20 all of the same designs at once. If we get LOTS of orders we'll get another machine, but this way we can be a bit more flexable with the individual designs.....! Please bear in mind that this is NOT going to be a 'Order-it-on-Monday-and-get-it-on-Friday' thing. In order to keep costs down we are not going to pre-order the shirts since we don't know what sizes you may want.....any stock we can't use (or don't use) costs $$$$$. We would rather put the $$$ into the quality of the product (meaning the SHIRT and the EMBROIDERY THREAD and DESIGN) and have it take a little longer to get it to you, and I am hoping that you all agree with that thinking.
Ok, thats enough babling from me for now.....!!! 
Photo's coming soon!!!

P.S. Initially we are working on using just short-sleeved shirts. BUT !!! TELL US WHAT YOU THINK !!...its possible that a design could also be put on a sweatshirt or a long-sleeved shirt as well using your same design and year 'script' for each. Naturally, the costs will be different but lets see how these shirts go over and we can work onward from there...!? Shirts for any of your CLUBS or BOWLING TEAMS are also possible.....just let me know and we can talk ( or, email!). Send me all your ideas and/or questions! ......Dan
