you shouldn't be smoking while detailing or give the idea to people that you would be smoking in or near their cars ..the white was just an example from cafepress where DC used to have their shirts made .. there is no minimum there or the set up charges like most silk screeners charge

I know you are right there. I try to adhere to that principle while detailing a customer's vehicle and take a smoke break over by my car. Hopefully soon I won't be smoking at all. Thanks for the T-shirt connection.

no problem Dave ..they have all sorts of colors and with no minimum, it gives you a chance to try out a few different designs before you commit to a full run or you may want to get some short and long sleeve shirts ..just more options

Just be cautious of cafepress...I don't believe cafepress actually 'screenprint' on their shirts...unless they 'now' do. I ordered a few things from them a couple years back and the design washed off in about 4 washings. Looked like they did nothing more than those cheap crappy inkjet iron-ons you can buy at any office store.

As many of you know I design shirt artwork for a living and nothing compares to a fine quality screen printed design on an even finer quality cotton T-shirt. I still wear my TMoore shirts from 3 years ago and they're holding up still today.

thanks for the info .. I have not ordered from them, but I do remember DC getting items from them a while ago ... i definitely agree with getting quality ..I still have PB T-shirts that are over 7 years old and going strong

[QUOTE=tuscarora dave;315676]Thanks for your opinions and suggestions guys. The guy that makes the shirts up for my buddy does a much nicer job and they are silk screened. It will all come together eventually.[/QUOT

Looks good Dave keep up the good work...
