Fishing oz style _ Have your say _ Merchandise
Posted by: jack Apr 2 2008, 09:47 PM
I am sure it has come up before, but can't find it
Are there any plans to come up with merchandise like boat stickers or caps/polo's/tees?
This could increase the overall awareness of people to this site, and also help lpeople to recognize each other on/near the water. Specially since so many come from the sydney/NSW area the chance of running into on another is pretty big but most of us never seen each other

Good Idea Jack

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 2 2008, 10:41 PM
OK here's my thoughts on the subject for you's to think about.
Initially when it was suggested we only had a handfull of guys who showed any interest & coming from a bit of a buisness background
Just because something sounds good on paper dosen't mean it's a feasable proporsition $$ wise & back then I could see myself with a whole heap of gear that I paid for & nobody wanted.
What I have been trying to do since then is convince my friends @ a certain fishing tackle importing buisness to bring out a line of fishing shirts etc my jaw dropped when I looked @ the price of those Shimano shirts.
I'm not old but getting there in a couple of decades or so anyways these days the sun takes it out of me if I dont cover up & these shirts are ideal very lightweight they allow the breeze through & best of all with sun cancer awareness these days are ideal.
Couldn't see a prob getting www.fishing-oz-style.info sewn into the back of them if peeps are interested ???
Caps ??? Well all here & elsewhere who have met me have recieved one of the sites sponsors caps suppose could get fishing-oz-style sewn into them as well
Stickers ???
Well now with what I think is a semi - success with the Auctions Forum I may take some of the funds from it & get some stickers etc etc made
But unless I get some serious show of no's none of this will happen
Oh the merchandise spoken of with be sold to you guys @ maybe a dollar or 2 profit which in turn will go back into the Charrity Kitty
So have a think about it & let me know

I would purchase a Shirt's hats and stickers!
go for it jumpus... Stickers are cheap and easy...
Hats are easy, and shirts arent alot either... get 50 of each and see how they go...
what about stubbie coolers... can see a few of them going around!!
Posted by: Sir Reel Apr 2 2008, 10:57 PM
Put me down for a sticker or two
Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Apr 2 2008, 10:58 PM
what about a fising oz style poly boat.... cheap for members?
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 2 2008, 11:08 PM
Rumpus the Hats are given to this site free of charge & all it would cost is the additional embroidery fishing-oz-style to be added if peeps are happy to have the Viva logo up front as well
Stickers work out pretty cheap as long as I or someone else dose the artwork & cutting allready inquired @ a mates shop
Also Brag mats those when they eventually arrive will be given out to the members here free of charge.
There was critisisum of having site sponsors in one of the threads but there are also benefits as well.
Again it's up to you guys what you want on the merchandise
Posted by: flattie_hunter Apr 2 2008, 11:14 PM
i think it be great i buy 2 for the boat i buy the hats as well and the brag mats free thats even better
Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Apr 2 2008, 11:17 PM
yep yep sounds good mate..
as long as viva are happy to have us on their hats?
Brag mats sound good!!!

I will be happy for a sticker or two. The shirts are ok for the 50+ uv rating. I keep one in the backpack all the time.
What is a brag mat? I am thinking some sort of mat with marking of measurements.

Posted by: flattie_hunter Apr 3 2008, 12:23 AM
thats great about the brag mats i was going to buy one but there worth like 20 bucks or something ... jumpy/ozman do you think it be good to have another link on this site to lead to desktop background for pcs like on sp ... you know like a photo of botnay fish www.fishingozstyle.com/info .. i mean it cost notting i can make them and if someone is over someones house and goes on the computer then they ask hey what fishing oz style .... and then there could be more members joining up because thery seen the ad on another friend pc ... get the idea

Jack & to the others who wanted to pay for their stickers !
They will be free of charge simply because they are promoting the site & dont think it fair members should have to pay for them.
Think the go with them is to be printed on clear laminate & we may have 2 0r 3 different colours on the lettering/logo
I for one cant have a dark colour cause it wont stand out & the guys with white boats cant have a light colour.
I really think the long sleeved shirts are the way to go but may also look into V - Neck T-shirts as well
QUOTE

Dont know about tailor fitted
But I also like the bigger sizes so there will be a few sizes
Posted by: flattie_hunter Apr 3 2008, 01:39 AM
need a small one for me
i think black for white boats and maybe white for yellow polys

First off I do not see Viva as a sponsor more a supporter of the site, which Jumpy has done a great job. If you have ever tried to get dollar/freebies from a business you will know what a great job Jumpy has done because he has managed to make them ONGOING.
Shirts, win-win for both Viva and the site. Embroidery may be "scratchy" if on the back shoulder line. Printing may be better and it can be printed on the whole back for the same price (only each colour adds to the cost). Pitty winter is almost upon us and get more big sizes.
Stickers, we need artwork.
Brag mats, BRILLANT, Jumpy for around $4 each (max) you can add additional printing.
Caps, stick to Viva, not really enough room to promote the site. But it would be good if Viva put us as a link on their website.
I am willing to help, done a bit of this with organising 4WD competitions.

Guys now we own the fishingozstyle.info domain name as well, I suggest any logo should be written as
FishingOzStyle.info
The capitials help a person read the name a hell of a lot quicker and make no difference with typed it to locate the site.
Just my 2 cents.

For a minute there I was thinking that you were taking about tatoo's you put on your body.
How would the fish like it if the rest of the gang met up with them and they found out that fish was a member of another gang. They would beat him up or send him to swim with the breathers.

SUMO !
Those types of shirts are pretty easy to get , but would like to give evllybody an option of those long sleeved shirts I spoke of earlier as well
I have my work shirts embrided years back ocassionally I wear them & the embroidery still looks good on them & opposed to screen printing they look alot classier.
I'll take a pic of one & post it
I haven't inquired yet but some of the raingear peeps wear on my boats is not the best & was wondering how many would be interested in a decent type of Jacket ????????????????????
Mine I bought from from a safty wear shop & cost me about $80 & let me tell you's it's very waterprooh & very warm
If enough are interested we may get a wholesale deal shops generally have a 100 % markup
Posted by: It'l Do Apr 5 2008, 02:59 AM
Yes I am interested in both light and heavy raingear but we need numbers.
Problem I have is most shops only stock to 2XL (Chinese version is a small 2XL) and with raingear it needs to be worn over clothes and I prefer it loose. So Australian sourced raingear from an industrial supplier would stock the really big sizes.

Freddy you have to be mindfull that images such as those bony fishy's belong to somebody & you may be in breach of copywrite, whereas the map of oz you would not.
Yep Yep oz just a wittle emblem on the front & a bigger one on back of shirt
Now as I mentioned earlier below is a pic of my old work shirts they were embroided not screen printed & they've lasted very well over the years.
ps] logo on back is actually bigger than it's size in the pic
Also think that quality shirts should be chosen some of those crappy El-Cheapo's wont last 20 wash's
I do know someone in the industry & will ask next time I see him

Must agree, the simple idea is good and easy! If we can get it edited up nice in some good colours? Blue and Dark blue or somthing and have a jpeg img, we can use online and in the forums and sigs etc and a simpler version for shirts and caps..

PNG is a well known/used image file standard nowadays which allows for much better transparancy than GIF, so the logo can be put on any colour background and still look good. JPEG does not allow for transparancy at all I believe so your stuck with the background colour that it was made with.
Jumpus if you like it just let me know and I'll send you the photoshop files, if not fair enough I can change and or delete easily
It was just an idea that I was playing around with.

See what sort of pricing I can get on merchandise ect
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 18 2008, 02:39 AM
OK guys
I made some inquiries today even got a cattlelog of some shirts etc but left it behind so cant post any pics
Anyways will go in next week to have a looky @ the shirts but I didn't see any of the Columbian types shirts in the book which I think may be the more popular ???????????????????????????????????????
Just need some show of hands as to how many are interested ??????
If you're not serious please dont put your hand up I dont want any non genuin peeps throwing out the pricing structure of the shirts.
Now products allways look nice out of a book but I like to see the product in person & get an idea of the quality
There's both polyester & cotton shirts cotton will breathe the poly's wont
For these polo neck shirts embroided with logo will go approx $20 each
Have no idea how much the Columbian type shirts will cost
As far as caps go ????
Well as mentioned earlier & I asked 2day & there's no probs getting as many Viva Caps as I want free of charge oz man had allready inquired & looking @ around $3 - $4 per cap to get embroided + a couple of $'s on top of that to go to site maitenance which I think is fair considering caps are over $10 in shops
Posted by: kkw Apr 18 2008, 02:44 AM

Jumpy, I am interested as long as the polos have a pocket. If you are buying polo's through an embroidery/printing shop pockets are easy to get.
For what it is worth Biz Collections from NZ were the most generous size but Johnny Bobbins were good as well.
BTW, I used to get our club shirts from GC Apparel. They also make their own shirts and it's in Botany.

I was also thinking how earlier I'd mentioned that I didn't think the members here should have to pay for the stickers since the stickers were advertising for the site.
Now what I will do is put up a few items in the Auction Forum with the profits not going into the charity kitty
Instead towards the payment of the stickers, these items will be noted so once I decide what they'll be

i thought the money from the charity kitty was gonna go towards all this so us members got them for free ?
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 18 2008, 08:16 PM
Think you are very mistaken jason & nowhere have I said so exept for the stickers.
The whole purpose of the auction forum is to raise money for charity & nothing else the members of this site are not a registered charity.
Alot of the items in the auction threads were either donated or given to me @ silly prices only because I told those people we were going to raise funds for a charity & I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong place if you're after freeby's.
On another note guys just to clarify a thing in regards to the shirts
OK cotton versus polyester
cotton breathes poly dosen't
cotton needs ironing after washing whereas poly dosen't [might explain why our poly is showing signs of wrinkles ]
After speaking to a friend yesterday who's going to take me & introduse me to his mates in the shirt importing buisness next week
Well he recomended a 50% cotton / 50 % poly mix on the shirts

Getting back to the topic of shirts
Blind Freda sent me a pm in regards to Top Gear Shirts & for those who didn't know which type of shirts I was refering have a look @ this link & keep watching the pic as it will change to display various styles.
http://www.top-gear.com.au/fishing.html
If you click on buy now it will give you an idea of cost without any discount.
Anyways these are the shirts I'll be chasing up next week & hopefully my mate can get similar @ a better price

Rummy, Biz Collections are one of the most generous when it comes to sizes. A 2XL is all I need in Biz yet in some other brands I need a 3XL.
Have a look at the topgear site for an example of sizing http://www.top-gear.com.au/sizing.html
This is how I suggest Jumpy advises us. Worked for me in the past.
Chest is the most important size followed by sleeve length, especially for Bees.
Posted by: It'l Do Apr 19 2008, 03:47 AM
Jason,
Jumpy only mentions the stickers were free. It was discussed at the St George Motor Boat Club about purchasing colombian and maybe polos.
Rummy hats are the Viva ones. My guess is if you see a Viva cap you will have a good chance that the person knows Jumpy. Be like me and ask them if they know Dog Catcher had them all stumped.

Ive got mine mate! haha, its well and truly worn now, and since i aquired this hat, my fish catch has improved greatly and I thank the hat.. ;)
But could always use another cause its worn out!
Shirts look good... as ya know, Im keen for a few mate.. Ill buy whateva!
Jas.. Chillout mate. Ill shout ya a shirt! Ill bring it up when I come up for a shot!
Posted by: TomMc Apr 19 2008, 05:47 AM
Jump put me down for one!
long sleeve or short sleeve it dont matter there all goin to look good!
good work on the designs Jack! they look great.
Jason, the way i read it the stickers are free... stickers stay on a boat or car alot longer then a shirt or cap stays on a person mate... plus there cheaper to produce....
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 19 2008, 06:12 AM
Seems we are getting a good showing of hands for the shirts
But none of you have really gotton back on the hat issue ???
Reason I ask is that after all the gear is purchased it's time to get the embroidery done & how it works is a setup fee is charged to set up the compters operating the sewing machines.
Set up only once & the pricing stays a bit lower.
oz man had allready made enquiries to get caps supplied & embroided
I got offered those viva caps to add fishing-oz-style to them
Saving will be only about a few $$'s under the proviso that a fair size quanyity of the ones oz enquired about are purchased & that means a fair bit of $$ outlay.
Or I can send out about 50 of the viva caps & get fishing-oz-sytle added to them
So whats everyones thoughts ????????????????????
Tommy I'd love to be able to get those shirts with the sleeves that unzip etc but doubt it & yep they are a spoofy looking shirt which can be worn just about anywhere & not just fushing.
Once I get to see a few I'll post pics with the various colours so each can choose the colour of choice
That wont effect the pricing as they get sold in quantaty & not by the colour only thing that may vary is the price on the embroidery
Posted by: It'l Do Apr 19 2008, 06:39 AM
Jumpy, Count me out on the caps, I have so many that they will last my life time and they were all free. I really like the Viva cap and it is my current fishing cap.
Shirts however are something most people buy as they tend to wear out.
My thought would be:
a polo shirt to wear with pride and would look good at the meet and greets, etc.
a fishing shirt because I need a fishing shirt.
Just trying to keep it simple because my guess on costs will be $30-35 min for the polo and $50-55 min for the fishing shirt.
Easy to add caps as the embroidery only need to be scaled down.
Once you choose the style, post pictures of the product, the final logo and prices you'll know who is serious.
Keep going I know how much time it takes to organise.
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 19 2008, 07:01 AM
Are you joking Feddy ???????
Or are you trying to scare members away from purchasing ????????????????
polo's should not be anything over $20 & I'm aiming to get the shirts for around the $30 mark
Posted by: It'l Do Apr 19 2008, 07:14 AM
I hope you get good quality paneled polo shirts for that price, I could not.
The Gear For Life ones cost $22 plus a front logo for $6 and screen printing on the back for $4.
Biz and the GC were $18 plus $6 plus $4
I did get reasonable quality plain shirts for $7-8, but thought Fishing Oz Style was about style
Fishing shirts was only a guess from the topgear website. I'll go back to my box now and shut up.
PS, could please you add a dunce emoticon.

Tis' not the length, tis' the girth i tells ya
The fishing shirt is great jumpy.. I'll have one and a hat or 2.
In regards to 50 hats.. You will get rid of 20 straight away, then with new members over the next 6 months or so, you will have something to offer them without having to go through the set up and running around..
Just my thoughts
I'll vote for a sky blue shirt like mine and Steve P. I dont want to be in the shallows and scare my fish with a bright yellow or something..
Blends in with the sky most days!! I need every advantage i can get.
When you in there discussing shirts, can you see if they have kids sizes?? If so, I'll have one of those as well.
We got one hand made for his birthday as they said it wasn't available.. and it fits my wife.. She is more than happy with it. haha
Now that would look great.. A 6 year old with a decked out sponsored shirt

Hope the merchandice caters for the husky gentlemen, those viva hats dont fit my head ( massive brain inside, not doing much) Im sure they will be ok.
Posted by: kkw Apr 19 2008, 02:36 PM
I'm with B.C. If the caps come in man sizes, then I would get another one. Shirts - well, I'm not as husky as Coops or Steven, but xxl would be good

The minimum order they will do is 100 and the cost is $500 including a basic cap or if we supply the cap the price is about $3.00 per unit plus set up with a minimum run of 50.
But I'm still talking with them about a discount ..
Also has anyone thought of lanyards cost is $3.40ea + gst for a 100 order in a 15mm width with a keyring. Ideal for the engine keys to hang around your neck.
Dear George,
Thank you for your enquiry on our web site with regard to printed lanyards. I am happy to advise the following:
CUSTOM PRINTED LANYARDS
15mm, navy blue lanyards with two colour print on one side only, a split ring attachment (keyring) and no breakaway.
X 100 in quantity = $3.40c each + GST
Freight would be $15.00 + GST.
Delivery would be approx 4 weeks from artwork approval.
Kind regards

hats. j.g i am in for four.
although this is about the sites logo i do think we should try to fit viva on to shirt or hat some were as we are getting a lot of help from them.
Allready discussed somewhere poly & it was decided that the shirts were not to have Viva on them
Unless of course peeps want to change their mind ???????????????????????
By this I mean I could get Viva to pay for all the embroidery both
fishing-oz-style & Viva logo'sThat would bring the price of the shirts down a fair bit.
I look @ this with a buisness view & think if price stays low then peeps would consider buying more than one item which in turn allows a quantity buy & a better purchase price

the price was not a problem as a good fishing shirt can cost around $70 here in Canberra so for me a shirt at $30 or $40 is a steel.
just didn't think the two logos would fit on the cap
i don't have a problem with the viva logo on the shirt however i would not like to see it on the stickers at all.
Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Apr 19 2008, 08:41 PM
Yea, I also have no problem with the viva logo on the shirt....
Its going another huge step, but is there a way members could get a discount card to buy viva gear?
Posted by: jack Apr 19 2008, 09:34 PM
I don't mind a Viva logo either as it would possibly lower the price as jumpy said.
In a shop you'd pay 50/60 bucks for a shirt and it has brandname on it as well (ok shimano has a better rep, but who cares).
It may also be a way to show viva that we are willing to promote the brand and who knows what doors this could open in the future.

Not really Rumpus there are to few members here to warrant such a card but when the time comes a Card may very well be on the cards
There's been a few members allready who have benefited from discounts given on the viva gear if anyone is interested in the gear all they have to do is let me know & if there's a tackle shop in their area who stocks the gear I'll see what I can do about geting them a good discount.
The way I view it I'm giving that store a sale they never had.
Now there are Bargains to be gotten here in our Auction Forum & there's allways the high turnover stores like Amazon who sell @ very low prices but buying from them is not the same as from your traditional Bait & Tackle Store the guys in these stores generally have a much better knowledge of gear + generally will give their customers helpfull hints as well.
Now Viva are only a relatively new brand name in Australia & so far have not brought in alot of good quality stuff they were getting their feelers out & foot in the door so to speak.
Their new range of reels are very very nice I have been using a few for about 6 weeks now all their new better quality stuff cant be gotten @ places like Amazon & only a select few shops will be selling them.
When I'm finally allowed to show off some of the new gear I'll introduce then in the reviews forum, some here who've been out for a fish with me will vouch how nice the new spin reels are.
There's also a few guys here who have benefited in the whitegoods dept most recent was Christos with his camera when he went into the Good Guys @ Caringbah.
Nick down there will look after any of the members here price wise as long as you guys let either CATCH22 or myself know you're going down there & we'll let Nick know you're coming.
When I'm there next I'll also have a word with him in regards site support & that's when I'll seriously give some thought to getting members cards for the site once I've organised a few more Co's to support this site.

Reason I threw that back into the equation Jack & the rest of you guys was very simple
It allows us to keep the price of shirts down in price & I figured if we can keep the price low enough then peeps will consider buying more than one shirt which in turn allows me a better buying price.
www.fishingozstyle.info will be the hi-light in big letters on the backs & the viva logo in much smaller letters say on one of the pockets

Ill also be grabbing a hat when numbers are taken...
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 20 2008, 12:05 AM
kkw & Coops !
Not sure hats can be gotten to fit over your big swollen heads
But ! if you's can find any cant see any prob getting the oz style logo sewn into them when the hats get sent out.
I really dont want 2B be held responsible if I get the biggest size available & you guys get another Head Swell & they dont fit
oz man !
Not sure those lanyards are such a good idea mainly because you have to buy bulk & we'd get stuck with them & think keeping the cost of everything down is a pretty important issue.
No good having items sitting idley about they'll only jack up the price of other item

Not yet phil
Just to keep you's updated
Dropped in for the stickers 2day left the disc there cause boss man was out & I'll ring him 2morro or pop around again to sort them.
Got taken to look @ some shirts but there were none like the ones we're after but that mob had no shortage of Polo Neck shirts @ very good prices.
One of my tennants is a clothing manufacturer & I'll pop in to see her 2morro she'll be able to tell me where to get them.
The ones discussed earlier where a link was supplied ?
Well they're over in WA & I dont like buying without seeing 1st + all transactions are done over the net which I'm not a fan of.

ok you have a domain like www.fishingozstyle.com. they park the domain on their server.
You pay like $3.99 a month plus the domain cost and they then put ads on it via google or some other ad place.
THEN THEY PAY YOU 60% OF THE RETURN.

Same sort of place that I went to yesterday only difference is I got much much much better priced than that link.
Neither have what we want exept for the polo shirts.
Wont say who but one of the members here is getting a relo to price our embroidery.
What I really want to do is have someone local here do the embroidery that way down the track if need be I can send more shirts out to get done.
Think we're getting a good response so far & when the pricing is finalised it might be a good idea to send out bulk emails to all the registered members some who dont log on may be interested.

Was just pointing out the variety ,and those prices include 3000 stitches so we had ideas and they are only 1km from me , was going to call in and see what they offer on a business deal and what volume etc.

Look @ the pic & you's can see there's a bit of extra room in the sleeves + in the body
As far as the shirts go & the existing Barra Wear Logo, it actually looks very spoofy not to mention that I was very well looked after in the costing dept so it was not a very good comment to have been asked if it can be removed or covered hence the reply I gave.
Now if anyone wants these shirts as they are straight from the packet without our site logo etc, say as a presnt to someone you can purchase them for an additional $10 each.
Think thats fair after all the concept of the merchandise was to promote the site & for the members the extra extra $10 will either go in the charity kitty or help pay for stickers or other items that may be decided on in the future

Jack these are very good shirts I did a product review on them 12mths ago for Fishing World Magazine and believe me they are just as good if not better than the Shimano stuff and half or third of the price. I never used to wear stuff like that cause I thought it was too Poofy but I hardly ever go fishing wthout wearing a Barra Wear shirt mind you I got quite a few free bees but that comes with the turf. Honestly they are good gear. An 80/20 blend of Cotton and Polyeyster

Honestly they are good gear. An 80/20 blend of Cotton and Polyeyster
WOOOOOF
I like the shirts too.
Just wondered if pricing and embroideries have been decided yet....And most importantly, Delivery.

Ps: websites says they are 100% cotton

Just a question what happened to just over $20.00.
1stlyThey are $20 oz the $50 was a joke
I tired & off to bed shortly so I'll make this brief for those who dont understand whats going on
Shirts will cost members here $20 - $25 each depending on whether goods donated in the Auctions forum get sold it seems to be a bit slow @ present with not much interest.
I did originally say the stickers & embroidery will be free of charge & I aim to keep my end of the bargain.
Money has to come from somewhere goods have been donated & thats where the funding is coming from.
2ndlyWith these shirts I have been very well looked after price wise with pressure to purchase large quantities etc I can buy 1 or I can buy 100 off them & it's the same price which is a bonus cause down the track if peeps want more there's no probs getting them & keeping them @ the same price.
Arnie Dog has done a review on the shirts go back & read what he had to say.
In time I will be thanking the supplier in public & that's why I made a joke & said the shirts will cost $50 each if you want the Barra Wear logo removed, when a Company comes along & wants to lend support to a site like this one you dont return the favour by removing their logo.
Would you do it if you purchased an Armani Suit ???????????????????????
Daniel !
Matey come monday or tuesday I'm going back to pick up a shirt of every size for peeps to try on if they so wish, I know a few of the members here have young kiddies & it would be great if we can get shirts to fit everyone.
Now !
We cant please everyone & if anyone wants to do the whole running around thingy to see if they can get a better deal than this one ??
By all means do so I'll welcome it

Cut the sleeves off Sumos shirt and get your mum to sew buttons on them. That way you will have two shirts, FH.

Unfortunately the weather is pretty bad for regular fishing (I guess most of us like nice weather, judging from the number of fishing reports) so people don't buy gear either I think.

nice shot bobs , was that the shirt when i was down fishing with you , if so I liked them.
Just a note to members who spin for breams and things in shallow water I would recomend the blue as it blends in with the blue sky and when fishing shallow water for spooky fish you blend in more to the surrounds ,
if wearing a dark shirt against blue sky you stand out as a preditor to spooky fish. just a thought for you guys. Plus they look mutch nicer

Really ???Why dont you tell Jack how many Blue Shirts you own ???
And what colour you're allways seen wearing ???
Listen Guys
All this trivial yap yap is getting a bit tiresome from my end & I'm losing interest very quickly in organising any merchandise @ all
If you've got a legit concern then present it else I'd appreciate you's not saying anything to stir up others
Like I said if any one of you's wants to take over organising the gear let me know & you can take over

Firstly It wasnt something I wrote to stir up things , I dont see it as trivial yap yap , I wrote it as a genuine piece ,
to other members its called shareing ideas .
I only see your childish quotes back as trvial yap yap.
1 blue / 1 light brown / 1 tan / 1 short sleeve tan , you can relay that to jack your self

Hi Jumpy did you manage to get hold of the shirts in all sizes?
If so can I come over and have a fitting?
If not how large is jimbooky compared to me. (I'm 6' 1" and 110 kilo)
Are the shirts w/o logo cheaper than with logo??
Jack
Posted by: A pirate Apr 30 2008, 12:26 AM
Im interested in ordering 1x XXL with logos but Jumpus are they a bigger fit or smaller fit? im usually an XL but with a larger fits im a L then ill add an extra size as i like them a bit baggy in the hot sun.
Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Apr 30 2008, 12:58 AM
Yep Guys I picked up a shirt of each of the sizes so no probs trying one on 1st to get the best fit
OH yeah Jack !
Ducking out for a few hrs but when I get back we'll have to discuss a few mods to logo in regards to the stickers
Got fed some info today after visiting the sign place
