This from Brodski in the "sell-out" thread.

If I made a hoodie It would have to be priced at £30.00 and i would need 5 orders to make it worthwhile. ( would not want to spend more money to send one to strip generator than it would make for the JREF).
If three more people are interested in a hoodie (or someone wants three hoodies) I will put the product up. They are available in a range of colors.

I SO want one of those. To the point where, if one more is needed to ensure viability of the product, I'm prepared to order two.

I don't know whether they all have to be the same design or not (the problem being the extra cost of giving one of each product to Strip Generator). However, any further takers to help get this off the ground?

Rolfe.
 
as much as id like one the price is a bit steep for me

would more orders allow for a reduction in price? i could try to drum up some business, lol
 
*jumps up and down, shrieking* Me!! Memememememememe!!!!!!! *waves hand frantically in the air*

I'd order two as well; I'm thinking I'd get one with the "cat with the gun" quote and the other with "making the world safe... for TYRANNY!" quote.
 
I'd love one but £30 is very expensive for a hoodie (you get hoodies for £10 here!)

If more people were in would it be cheaper?
 
I thought Shetland was expensive! £10 sounds like a steal.

I don't know if we have to go for just one design or not, but "Making the world safe for tyranny" gets my vote.

Brodski, you home?

Rolfe.
 
OK, numbers on the table here.
Comboutique works by selling items at a "base price" and allowing "shopkeepers" to set their own markups. The base-price for a hooded sweatshirt with one picture is £24.50.
If I were to produce a hoodie I would need to send one to Strip-generator, which would cost me £24.50. I am happy to pay this, but only if more than £24.50 goes to the JREF.

5 orders a £5.50 markup (£30 total price) will make £27.50.
If I get 6 interested people I'll sell for £29.50, 7 @ £29, 8 @ £28.50 10 @ £28 11 @ £27.50, 13 @27 and so on.

I would only be able to drop the price as low as £25 if I got 50 orders, which seems unlikely.

How much is that in real money?:D

Da&n! 60 bucks for a sweat shirt?
 
Well, I wouldn't be able to buy them both at once, but I'm still interested.

Comboutique's stuff seems to be good quality, so I can see spending sixty dollars for a sweatshirt I suppose. Not often, mind you, but every once in a while I can splurge like that.

Does this mean we all have to have the same design, otherwise you have to give Strip Generator more than one?

Obviously, it would be more attractive having 2 if they could have different designs, but even if they have to be the same I'd still spring for 2 if I had to.

I think and Hokulele can correct me here, that strip-generator have said that 1 of each product, and one of each major design category. So if we offered Cat with gun, safe for tyranny and a cool hat hoodie in a range of colours, we would still only have to send one. As they allready have all of these designe.
 
looks like cafepress (US) has hoodies starting at $24.99 (not sure how much it comes to with design and markup, but still probably cheaper for us americans)

any chance of getting in there? or any other US-based site?
 
OK, I've just checked the US spradshirt price and their hoodie is $26.99 (depending on how many images and what size of image), about half the price of the UK one.

I think it would make more sense for everyone if even those people in the UK ordered from the US.

Thas more betterer.
I was beginning to think it was a NWO scheme to get US $$ into the UK system.
I mean--60 bucks for a sweat shirt, 30 for a coffee cup...
It's still a conspiracy! We can't get coffee mugs here!
%^&* NWO.
 
Yup, the US Spreadshirt hoodies are cheaper (stupid falling dollar values), and we would only need to send one sample to StripGenerator. I will see about adding one of each design when I get a chance.

Any preference on zip-up vs. pull-over?
 
Given that I'd prefer the design on the front versus the back of the hoodie, I vote for pull-over ones.
 
I'll second Sabrina's motion (vote) for pullover with Kitty on front:D
It's going to be too cold soon for my t-shirt, so I'll be needing one as well.:cool:
 
I'd be interested, but a) I'd need at least a men's 2X (or 3X, depending on how it's cut, but I'm willing to chance a 2X) and b) I wouldn't be able to order until after Christmas. I would, however, promise to do so by February 1 if the design could be kept on sale that long.

[Squashes down misgivings about anything that cheap having come from child sweated labour and be ready to come apart at the seams....]

Seconded. Or maybe that's thirded.

It's already too cold for my t-shirt here - -3C one morning last week - but I've got it on under my pullover.

fourthded

i always manage to ruin zippered ones by tossing them in the dryer (the fabric shrinks but not the zipper, making it look wrinkled all the time)
 
I'd go for a pullover one too.
Oh and SpitfireIX the sizes go up to 2XL.
 
I would buy a hoodie or two to go along with the tees that I've already purchased (NWO Kitty is a big hit around here - everyone asks about him when they see the tees and I take great pleasure in explaining who he is and how the tees came about) if the price is somewhere around $30ish or $40ish rather than somewhere around $60ish.

But I'd prefer the zip up to the pullover. Is that an option?

I think we've decided on pullovers, LashL; good news is the price is now $27 instead of sixty.

Also, Happy Birthday chippy!

Yes, I hadn't read all of the above posts when I posted mine about the zip up, but the picture on the front makes sense of course, given that the hood would obscure it on the back. And that means that pullovers are the way to go.

I'm in. :)

Seconded. ;)

Happy birthday, chippy!
 
Will the hoodies show up in the same US store link that shows the shirts?
Just checked, and nothing there yet....:(
 
OK, the hoodies should be up there now. The price did go over $30 with teh graphics and JREF commission, but I did compensate by adding all the designs (including some no-texts for the chicken-hearted). If you cannot see them, please let me know.

Link to the storefront.
