Tee Shirt update! Finally........ Sorry to keep everyone in suspense for so long.
The shirts for Carverfest 2008 will be screen printed on quality light gray tee shirts just like the original Carver shirts you begged your local Carver dealer for. The shirts themselves are like the tee's that many race teams wear for practice etc. on race weekends. It was decided to go with the light gray for 2 reasons. First the original Carver shirts were light gray. Second I have several team issue shirts that I wear at the race track that are light gray and they do not show spots etc. like bright white.
The printing on the shirts will have the original Carver company logo on the back with Carverfest 2008 in matching text under the Carver logo. On the front of the shirts where the breast pocket would normally be there will be an appropriately sized matching insignia. On the right sleeve of each shirt will be printed a replica of Mr. Carver's signature that will be appropriately sized and located for placement on the sleeve. I have attached a copy of the signature for everyone to see. Note: Only the signature will be printed. The white background will not be printed on our nice light gray shirts!
The price for the shirts will be $8.75 per shirt + Shipping for those of you that will need your shirts shipped to you. For those who are attending Carverfest I will be personally delivering all of your shirts to you at the "fest." For those of you who will need your shirts shipped to you I will be shipping them via U.S. mail. If you wish you can figure your shipping cost from zip code 49004 to your address and include that amount with the cost of your shirt. If it would be easier for some people you can simply include a flat fee of $4.50 for shipping and I will return any extra money in the package with your shirt.
There were some folks that asked about having their own shirts printed. The shirt people said they can do this as long as your shirt will take the screenprint properly. You can send me your own shirts if you wish. They did not give me a price for printing on your shirts, but I will try to get one from them in the next couple days.
The address to send payment for shirts + shipping if need is...
D. Mailand
2814 Slater Dr.
Kalamazoo, Michigan 49004
Please be sure to include your shipping address as well as your shirt size or sizes if ordering more than one shirt. I have a list of names etc. from those of you who sent me messages etc. and I will confirm sizes and addresses with everyone as your orders arrive in the mail.
I will post some pictures of the actual shirts as soon as they have mine printed
Thank you to everyone for being patient with this whole shirt process and please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
Sincerely, Rainman
