Cool Casual Cycling T-Shirts

sarajoy

I think this is a valid thread for threads

Been looking up a few lately - not bought any as I'm a bit poor, but there's some very nice designs out there!

http://teepay.com/ has some nice ones, e.g:

http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/709
http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/91
http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/311
http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/595
http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/679 <-- very cute!:



For the ladies: http://flirtees.ca/ <-- Canadian, mind

Some nice links here (but mostly American): http://www.goclipless.com/2006/06/cycling_tshirts.html

Little eco-friendly Bristol-based jobber: http://www.t-cycle.co.uk/

Any more for any more?

I really like the one you've pictured - slightly unwilling to pay £25 for one though!

You occasionally get good ones popping up at Threadless too, but I don't look often enough to catch them before they go out of print...

They haven't got my "Hows my riding?" anymore though

All organic cotton

Oh and from Howies Tee-pay was born.

For a £25 T-shirt :shock: ! After a little searching on their site it appears only £2.50 (10%) goes to the creator of the image. A plain white cotton T-shirt sans image would be about £3 so one hell of a mark up and very little going to the creator of the pic :roll: . I suspect for every shirt sold this company makes a whacking profit. I thought places like John Lewis sold T-shirts for silly money but this place seems to be at it as well. Once you've registered your image/design the Company can do with your design/image that which they wish. I should imagine some one like SrAlan would approve of the deal this company has cut providing of course it makes money on these figures. Still seems very expensive for a T-shirt.

Oh dilemna, you cinic.

What I will say is the t-shirts are organic cotton and great quality (guessing they're using Howies blanks, which retail at £20). They don't use far eastern based factories (their supplier is in Turkey) and are very fussy with who they deal with.

They are giving budding designers somewhere to sell their product and if it sells well, they get a decent commission.

Having said that, there are plenty of T-shirts out there cheaper, but then child labour don't cost that much

(the reflective version)

BTW, their sizes are crazy, I'm about a 12 up top, yet a 2XL fits fine! An XL may just have been fine too, but an L would have started to get stretched across the bewbies...

You just said that last bit to get the fanboys panting, admit it...

I'd like that t-shirt more if the model they used wasn't Charles Manson's slightly less be-swastikad younger brother.

You can click across (arrows at the bottom of the image) and find a nice girl wearing the tee instead

Aye, I admit it, but also for the benefit of anyone else fancying buying from threadless - the sizes are WEIRD.

I found spokeshirts the other day.

Bought the "I do all my own stunts" one. Wearing it now, in fact

biondino

I think you meant to type "st***s"

I ordered one from teepay when this thread first appeared... Still hasn't arrived.

Holy cow, £25 for a T-Shirt!

The spokeshirts ones are already on my birthday list

Is £25 really that bad for a T-shirt? You can argue whether it's 'worth' it but they're hardly way out there with their pricing. Not everybody buys them in packs of 3 with their shopping

It worked :oops:

I guess everything is relative to what weight, or worth someone puts on an item.

I'm more than happy/prepared to spend £40 on a jersey, and £60 or more on bibshorts, but a T-Shirt is a T-Shirt to me, £10/£15 is what I would generally think it's worth.

I did spend £20 on a Marin T-Shirt once, but then I am a Marin afficionado, so...... 8)

Well, I ordered 3 shirts from Threadless - ones on sale, mind - came to $36 dollars with P&P from the US all in, what's that, about £25?

Now you too can have a full-sus BSO emblazoned accross your chest:

(Apologies if that is actually anyone's bike, but that definitely looks like a 1-inch headset to me...)

Just under in real terms but it will depend when the CC company complete the transaction.

The other day I found my almost 20 year old Mint Sauce T shirt - it's not a crash it's a bike, earth, gravity interface incompatibility problem situation. Classic!

Note to self - clear out draws more often
