T Shirt Quality - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

boilrman · 06-04-2002, 06:21 PM

I see someone posted they dont think the quality was as good this time around.

Do any of the other folks that ordered back in Feb. also think this?

The reason I switched printers is the 1st guy was putting me off to do other jobs. It took over 1 mo for him to start on the order.

The 2nd guy is quicker, but, do we want to sacrifice the quality?

Let me know what your opinions are on this, so we can make a decision before the next order.

Thanks,

Chad

I have to say the quality leaves something to be desired, but of course I've already ruined two of the four I bought working on the truck. Bad boy.

BADA$$69 · 06-04-2002, 06:52 PM

So when is the next round of shirt orders gonna take place?

72'BBGMCSGCC · 06-04-2002, 06:52 PM

I'd buy a couple of shirts if the Quality was good.

**BIG ORANGE** · 06-04-2002, 06:55 PM

Well after acouple washes the letters on my sons shirt are very fade out but other than that it's OK I guess.
Besides a shirt a shirt!

dion · 06-04-2002, 07:32 PM

I can have the company I work for print the shirts and the quality would be perfect. I've been in the printing industry for 15+ years.

Stepside · 06-04-2002, 07:46 PM

I didn't order this past time. The shirts I got on your first run are great! Quality is wrote all over my shirts. I don't wear them if I'm going to get greasy. That's how good they are. Maybe the guy has so much business because he don't run junk. I'd rather wait than buy something less. Reguardless, my hat's off to you for the effort.

I think the shirts are great quality from both places. My concern was with the ink in the last run. It is not staying as sharp.

*big71* · 06-04-2002, 08:11 PM

i need two more

XXL · 06-04-2002, 08:15 PM

I obviously missed something. Just what exactly are these shirts?

from the shirts i recivedf the actual shirt seemed to be of better quailty on the 2nd round, the printing on back seemed to be bigger, wich i thought was to small on the first round, mine hasnt faded to much and ive washed it with bleach a bunch of times.... the first bunch are still even good, faing a bit but not bad for how many times its been washed

NuBomb · 06-05-2002, 11:19 AM

I've washed mine about 10 times or so and the ink has faded a bit. The shirt quality is great. Regardless of where you get the next batch from I plan on buying a couple more.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-05-2002, 12:25 PM

XXL - the T-Shirts are the pic of a Chevy or GMC with the board logo that member Blaz-air drew up and Boilrman has graciously undertaken the task of getting them printed, accepting money, and mailing out. Quite a task if you ask me. I'm sure he can post a pic of the artwork but I couldn't find it on a search.

*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2002, 12:28 PM

I got mine from the first run and they still look great!

Thanks Yukon Jack for the explanation. If anyone finds a shot of the artwork, I'd love to see it. And, if the shirts are made in sizes to fit me (I'm short for my weight), I'd be interested...

***Josh*** · 06-05-2002, 05:19 PM

I dont remember all the sizes, but I believe small - XXXXL was available. The first run seemed a little better quality, but shirts I have from both printers are holding up fine.

The logo I have attached to this post is also available in a inside window static cling decal that measures approx. 6.5"x2.9". I'll post ordering info for the decals later on, I have GMC and Chevy ones in stock.

Hey, that might even fit me. And is there a URL for price info?

Thanks,

Kenneth

***Josh*** · 06-05-2002, 06:01 PM

I don't think there is any pricing info posted anymore, boilrman has all the info. If theres enough interest in shirts again I'm sure he'll do another run.

Mixup · 06-05-2002, 06:23 PM

I bought 2, a grey one and a red one. The grey one ripped on the seam under the arm the first time I washed it. The red one is ok.

popeye72 · 06-05-2002, 06:28 PM

I bought 2 the last run and they are holding up just fine so far. Need some more though

MIKE'67 · 06-05-2002, 06:47 PM

I did't buy the first time around so I can't compare the two. The shirt itself is a good quality. The printing was less than a quality job. The logo can be much sharper. Perhaps he needs new artwork. I would definitely go to a different printer. Same goes for the window decals and hat printing. I didn't complain because I appreciate all the work Boilerman put in to this.

Benrs86 · 06-05-2002, 06:54 PM

i dont remember, did they ever make the gmc design ones? if so, i would buy 2 of them probably. thanks, good work boilerman!, Ben

**68SWB4x4** · 06-05-2002, 08:26 PM

yes we made GMC design ones

*racedvl* · 06-05-2002, 09:35 PM

I have mine from the first round, and they are holding up great!!

BADA$$69 · 06-05-2002, 10:58 PM

So when is the next round of shirt orders gonna take place?
