Poll: Last t-shirt poll before the order is placed - I promise!

[Joe Link]

So the t-shirt order is going in this week, the initial cash investment was what was holding me up (over $1k upfront!). We're down to selecting the t-shirts we're going to use and I need to know what ratio of Gildan to American Apparel we need to order. We're going to be offering two different brands so people will be able to weigh the pro's and con's of each based on their personal opinion. What I need to find out with this poll is which one you would choose based on the facts presented below.

Gildan
Sale Price: $12 in person / $15 shipped
Great Quality

I voted American. I don't mind the extra $3 to keep it in the USA.

I'm pay $3 for an american Tshirt

 

[numbnutz]

Its defineatly worth paying another $3 for an american made product,gotta keep boosting that economy.

I like the idea of the "Standard Fit"...but Made In USA trumps that!

 

[Brandon44647]

I don't mind paying a little extra for an AMERICAN MADE product.

 

[SONALB]

Made in USA! I'll shoot half a box less next time out plinking....Hmmmmm
If I shoot a whole box less, maybe I can get two shirts!

 

[MWS]

Are there any other American made t-shirts that are thicker... I think the thicker the better and $18 to $20 wouldn't be a bad deal... Any thoughts about hats ???

 

[JUSTIficatioN]

Keep it in the USA

So I confirmed with the screen printer, 2XL is $1.75 extra, 3XL is $2.75 extra, 4XL is $3.75 extra, 5XL is $4.75 extra, per shirt.

The American Apparel shirts go up to 3XL, the Gildans go up to 5XL.

That "heavier" 50/50 cotton blend will be much less heavy after a couple of washings---and be more like 90% synthetic with all the cotton down the drain. 100% cotton lasts much longer and better. Another reason to choose the USA made........................elsullo

 

[Joe Link]

Getting ready to pull the trigger now. We're actually going with a 100% cotton Gildan 6.1oz shirts for the cheaper ones since they're easier for the supplier to get, so even the cheap shirts will be a bit better.

 

[MountainBear]

As for the hats, once we get the money back from the t-shirts we should have a bit more to work with, and NWFA hats are definitely in our future
