New Artwork Idea

[arthur3bums]

Right guys and gals

Long story cut short........... I'm out of a job on Friday so have been thinking of ways to make a bob or two.

Who would be potentially up for a T Shirt playing on the Armoured Farmers theme with artwork designed by me? It'll cost somewhere between £10 - £15 each incl P&p. Once the design is ready I'll post it on here but, I could do with an estimate of how many people may order and in what sizes. please email me at [e-mail] please be advised that this is not a promise to buy on your part, it's simply to give me an idea of likely numbers.
The T Shirt design will also at some stage find itself on mugs and key rings so watch this space.

go for it a3b need a help shout

[biggles]

i'am up for it.

[arthur3bums]

Right, gulp gulp
I've taken a risk......................a biiiiiiiiiiiig risk. I've ordered 200 T shirts from the printer. My mastercard will look whorendous on the next statement. I got carried away today, firstly drew the design from scratch in such a way that would be okay at the printers (the design studio I was talking to was about as much use as a lighthouse in the middle of the Sahara...very bright but...! I................then went to the printers and let them take a butchers.
The T Shirt design will appear on here as an image as soon as the printer emails it to me.
The design.................silver on a black shirt, the shirt itself is top quality....ie:Fruit of the loom. I will be doing only 3 sizes 20 of medium and the rest split between XL and 2XL given that I'm sure most people would like to have a shirt larger rather than too small. Each shirt will come in it's own plastic bag. I was most impressed myself (you all know how critical I am of my own work) when I saw the template getting drawn up and got carried away placing the order even though it's such a huge financial risk. Cost? Well, I reckon that it'll come in at £14 each + P&P TBC. I may well have to get to Brizzel for the reunion to save people the postage.
So, as soon as I've got an image I'll get it on here and start ordering................pleeeese!! The cost with P&P will be no more than £16 as the price to get the shirts was a little more than I thought, especially by the time he'd hit the VAT button on his calculator. It put's me over my estimate by £1 but hopefully people will be okay with that?

RIGHT THEN me ol' trustworthy colleagues and ladies.
Here is a picture of what the design will look like on the shirt. One change needs making and that is to put formatted text using a font in place of my rather shoddily scribed 'Fear Naught'. The design will also be in silver on black this is only a template and, before anyone starts on, I've kept the design purposely simple as, otherwise it'd simply be too cluttered.
The shirt (individually bagged) will cost you £14.50 + P&P which I wil confirm when I've been to the post office but, given that I need packaging, hopefully will come in at under £2.00, I'll let you know soon as. It is, of course, exclusively for 3RTR but, members of FearNaught 3 irregardless of unit/Corps can buy one.....I've not even put that offer on Arrse so, there are real benefits to FearnaughtIII members, I may even do something to help Pecker me ol' chum promote the site, we have talked.
I will also confirm, there will only be 20 of Med the rest of the 180 will be split between XL and 2XL (mainly XL) the shirts will be top quality Fruit of the Loom so...hopefully you'll like it and....get ordering but, please use my Malcycee email address as it's easier for me to administer. I will also be letting people pay using PayPal for this........the first of many shirts to come........next though will probably be mugs or something a little cheaper. Thanks for your support guys.

Right this is the amended version with typeset Fear Naught. I have requested that the 3 be changed to the Roman 3 but, can't guarantee it if the printers have set up the screen this pm I'll keep you posted mates.

In line with my old mate VTT's comments on sizing on Arrse, I will hopefully amend my order with the printers. The total of 200 shirts available will be the same but broken down as follows and here's the size guide (if you need to amend your order let me know soonest). I've amended due to the numbers that have been coming in on orders. If I run out of your size I'll tell you and offer the next size up, this is why I've inserted the Lge size as there's only a couple inches between them. I have to confirm that the sizes are available on Monday and will let you know.

Chest sizes are approx
30 X Medium = 38"/40"
60 X Lge = 41"/43"
80 X XL = 44"/46"
30 X 2XL = 47"/49"

Be warned, before Plymouth I intend to have mugs and mousemats available.

Okay
Quick update, a couple people have requested Large as a size. I have been unable to change the order so, I have paid for an extra 10 shirts sized Large of which 4 are already claimed.
Medium orders that I have are covered as are XL and 2XL. If 6 people would like a Large then they'd better hurry as after these 10 are gone I will have to offer people the XL shirt instead albeit there is not a huge size difference between L and XL.
Having applied a certain amount of 'pressure' most of the shirts should be ready for the end of the week so I will commence posting them out this weekend.......those that I have received payment from will obviously be prioritised.
I will look at the feasability of getting some down to the Bristol Bash even if I have to deliver them to someone in Bristol next week sometime.
I have also just ordered 75 black mugs with the design in silver as testers however, they will not be ready before Bristol so they'll have to wait until Plymouth or................post. But they will sell for £6 and, if people want to take the risk on P&P that'll cost a bit extra.

Right then, as good as my word, here is the finished article. Ignore my belly and Gratton's catalogue type pose, it's the shirt you need to look at!!!
