Jeep Honcho Shirts

Any Updates?

[kyamcalvert]

PM me please! My family business is screen print and embroidery. We are out of Omaha, NE, but I can almost always beat any given price. I have wholesale accounts at almost all clothing distributors and can essentially guarantee you that we can find some shirts at a lower cost than what you may be getting, especially if you are going through a large company.

I see this boldly going nowhere but my glasses are pink.

All we need is the OP to either tally up or give the ok to someone else to do it.

For what it's worth, I'd still like one of these. Can we have kyamcalvert take over and print them? What's your price, kyam?

[kyamcalvert]

Well, what with how cool everyone here is, I wouldn't want to make a real profit off of them. I would say 15 tops, and hopefully 10 a piece. I would have to have payment up front before sending out to print. Likewise, I will need a 24 piece minimum to make the price right. We could do 12 but the price will just not be worth it. I can send out for a quote from the print shop if we have enough interest. We should all agree on one shirt color to do it on - white is always cheapest. Screen printing prices are largely dependent on shirt/design color combos (dark shirts must have the design underbased in white, therefore using more ink and driving the price up, etc.)

Like I said, I would need to get everyone's money together first, but I kind of see that being problematic if only, say, 15 people pay. Know what I'm sayin'?

Sorry - I am at work and didn't have a chance to read every post in the thread. It seems like there's quite enough interest to make it happen. If we can get the master list of people in up past 24, I can do it. But, like I said, collecting payment is still the issue. I guess the best I could do is PM all interested parties, keep the money in my paypal, and worse comes to worst refund everyone's cash if the committed number does not pull through. If anyone has better ideas on how to do this or would like to take over and pay for the whole order outright, let me know. I will get a good price and will give them to you at cost or extremely close to it. We are a wholesale company, I am not just an average Joe, so I get a much better contract price on printing.

Also - anyone "can" do this. The Honcho shirt design would have to be trademarked and/or copyrighted and you would have to be selling them for taxable profit in order to get in trouble for printing a design.

For instance, do not go printing up Walt Disney logo stuff and expecting to sell a bunch of it scott-free...

But this is totally doable.

Kyamcalvert,

I'm still very interested in this and would be happy to them for even $20 a piece. Make sure if you take this on you don't lose your shirt. (sorry for the pun) It will be a big effort on your part (especially with a new baby around!) and you should get a little out of it.

I would be happy to send you a paypall payment to reserve a shirt. Just give the green light to the project and the paypall address and I bet you start to see your account fill up fast. Probably should have evaery one post an official commit to buy post with size color and qty, and then have them include that info in the memo area on paypall. Ready to go when you are!

And I would say since we have a different person leading this now, a new "Jeep Honcho Shirts - Buy them here" thread would be appropriate with the info you need.

Thats technically not true. You do not have to make a profit to be in violation of copyright law. However, I am not sure who all currently owns copyrights on the word or logo containing the word "Honcho".

Point being - once you are making money, they will take your money. A group of 20 internet Jeep wackadoo's is hardly going to raise a flag for infringement...

For instance, a recording artist uses a "sample" of another song in their song without permission. Unless you are making enough dough to get noticed, they will probably leave it alone. Generally, it needs to be worth going after monetarily for someone to mess with you. Keyword: "Generally".

I'm still in for 6. I'm also game for a Cherokee shirt as well.
