Im pretty excited about these shirts that i co-designed and bought from a local Embroidery place in Palm beach.

It was a few days in the making (basically trying to think of a layout that will fit in the shirt, be impactfull, easy to read and appealing).

Anyhow, i snapped a few pics and felt like sharing them with you guys.
 
Excellent! Make yourself up some business cards to match! :bigups
 
Interesting! Very Creative. I haven't seen to many product companies with their own shirts. How about making some Steve? :lmfao
 
nice looking shirts if you dont mind me asking what did they run you as far as price goes I know your in FL. and im in NC shouldnt matter to much but trying to get and idea on some prices Thanks Kevin:jump
 
Clean4u: I did some investigating/shopping around before i found these knowledgeable, friendly and monetarily competative embroidery business called Monart Monograms.


Anyhow, pricing really depends on which type of shirt you want (from regular white t-shirts, to collared Polo/golf shirts, to high quality knits), and also the type of and complexity of your design.

I went with Outerbanks Polo/golf shirts, 5000 series (they are higher quality than they're cheapest model polo)...and stuck with a simple text design layout.

After choosing thread colors, and the text layout/design and also the type/quality of shirt, it came out to roughly $25 per shirt.

I bought 3 (navy, black and red) and the total was a little over $76....very reasonable in my opinion.

The business owner, who knew that my order wasnt going to be large to begin with, was extremely helpfull, patient and curteous. I spent 2 days coming and going trying to discuss, design and finalize a logo layout....so service was impecable....and for that i strongly feel that $76 isnt too much to pay for.

Expect to pay roughly $18-28 out the door for a custom embroidered shirt.


:D Hope this answers your question.

"Very bland" :( :doh

When i we (the embroidery business and me) were designing these shirts we aimed for attractive yet simple. They offered me to choose from like 100'000 pictures that i could have had sewn on for no extra charge, but when they showed me how it looked like, it became too busy and a little confusing to look at.


*sigh* I respect your opinion, but i honestly think the thread color, shirt quality (i got premium quality w/out using tremendoues amounts of funds, $140 is way too much for a single shirt IMO)...and based on that i am confident and satisfied with my decision.


However, nothing is set in stone....so if you have some creative ideas, why dont you design something for me and ill take a look. They have my design info in their computers, so i can come back any time to add/remove stuff from the shirt layouts, and re-order new shirts.


Let me know.


:bigups
 
Also, based on the Palm beach comunity (which consists of predominantly elderly, retired and overwhelmingly successful individuals), i felt that it had to be clear and easy to read.


Feedback is feedback though, ill look into some other design idea's in the near future.

Steve (Poorboy) should make some t-shirts for the Poorboy's lineup. I like the products so much I would wear it.
 
My mom runs an embroidery shop and I digitize (do the graphics) for her. From what I can recall, that is a decent price and a good quality shirt company. It's nice that they were good to you for only ordering 3 shirts. I worked with someone in hawaii that was very rude and would rip people off that had small orders.

Yes you are dealing with a lot of elderly and retired people who don't see well and the design is a bit small....otherwise it looks good:bigups simple and to the point:D

Tassadar...we're looking into silk screening some shirts, embroidery is nice for a few, but too expensive to make 100's:D

:yeah
That style of shirt, (Polo), doesn't seem to me to be what would look good with some of the T-shirt graphics you see a lot of. IMO, for a business impression, you made a good choice.
One question. Aren't these for you to wear while you are working? A $140 detailing work shirt seems a little expensive.

Greetings fellow detailers;

Mike, glad you're happy with your shirts...

Having said that...... :jump ......... I must now post with my personal experience. No disrespect meant here whatsoever...

I used to wear real nice polo shirts with my company name on them. After completely destroying them and sweating like a hog non-stop - I've now opted for comfortable cotton T-shirts...

They get very dirty. This can't be helped in our line of work. Besides the nasty stuff from the autos (interior and exterior) getting on our clothes - the chemicals we use invariably end up on them...

At $25 per shirt this can get very expensive...

Since I have the tendency to dive right into my work - often, at the end of the day - my shirts are a disaster...

I now pay less than $10 per shirt... And I go through about 10 of them a year...

Again, no disrespect intended.... Just another viewpoint here...

Regards,
Onthespot (Western NC)
