lemme know

what size shirt you wear (if you want one).

version two:

I think my screen printer is pissed at me now, gonna try and smooth it over, I'll let you know when it's good to go...
(it wont cost that much scratch, shirts are pretty cheap and the labor is me...)

Shit im on one of those fo sho! Are going to burn the screen yourself and do them? If so we could make a little night of it at your shop or mine. And if you're only doing a few we could try the vinyl mask on a screen...I've done it that way before and it works for about 7-10 shirts then it the mask goes to shit. Since im a picky mutherfucker with my shirts Ill prolly grab a few of my own cause im a snob like that.

Marc (barracks roommate) thinks you should write "Motorcycling is not a crime" in Japanese. オートバイは犯罪ではない The Japanese bike riders would be in to it.

These are sweet! I really love them! I'll take a couple in XL...

Dave-O said...

I'm a pretty picky t-shirt dude too...XL and let me know what you need for them...

Dan Yoder said...

I'd second the japanese characters as well but Im just another commentator in the peanut gallery so what do I know

Ben said...

Super cool...I prefer the text in English, only because FTWCO has done one with the Japanified characters on the front...

I wear L or XL, depending on what brand of t-shirt.

tom said...

tossed in an edit with the characters. Now, I'll have to run this by my multi-lingual wife as I'm not sure of the breaking up of the phrase, character spacing, etc.
Maybe hoodies? Have to look into it.

And Dan, gonna burn a screen and do it at a screen printers shop (who is a block from me...)

tom said...

We could potentially do both styles, and yes you are right Ben, FTWCO has done one in japanese (it was japanglish at best, but still...)

Dan Yoder said...

How about in hebrew or aramaic as an anti-nazi thing?? I got a buddy who could spell check it...just a thought. I've been on a "nazi shit on motorcycles" hating kick for quite some time so thats where this comes from.

Ill grab some shirts and a hoodie and get them to you ASAP! I would love to watch if thats an option..never seen it done all professional like. If not thats cool too.

Collin said...

I would order a small if the price was right.

tom said...

Collin, when these happen I'll make sure there is a small for you, still need to get a price.

Dan, I know where you're coming from with the anti-nazi stuff, but these aren't political, they are for us!
(and hebrew ain't the prettiest written language, knwowhadimean? :))

Ben said...

THe FTWCO one is Japanified font of "FTWCO" - I have it and hate wearing it because people are constantly asking what it says. It says "FTWCO" dammit. Then they ask what that is....

Dan Yoder said...

Yeah I'm always looking to ruffle feathers much to the dismay or praise of my peers depending on how you look at it. In whatever language they're in I'm stoked broseph!

aaron said...

I'm SO down with the nazi hating, and I actually think hebrew is one of the best looking written languages there is. I don't feel like it's really political, unless you're a swastika wearer. Then again, I feel for the palestinians... Why is life so hard, man? It's a T shirt. I don't know what I want.

aaron said...

Cyrillic alphabet is underloved, btw.

tom said...

Well, these are burned screens, and frankly I would just like to do one. As much as I hate the swazi thing, that's not what this shirt is about, not even in the ball park. And yes, at least to me, it is very political, religious and sick as fuck.

The japanese checked out fine, but I think I'd prefer it in english, it's not for anyone but us.

Whatever you high art types finally arrive at, whether that be Yiddish, Arameic, Japanese, Greek, Deutsch, Serbian, Spanish or even English, I'm up for two in XL if you guys can sort payment issues and mailing, at my cost obviously. Orange on black is so tee shirt.

Dave-O said...

Woah! I didn't mean to create a big deal over this... Dude brought up the japanese writing and I didn't even think of the FTWCO shirt. I just thought the japanese motorcycle folks would be into it. I like both of the shirts though. The translation was done with Google translate, so who knows how accurate it is.

Dave-O said...

Oh, and I'd like a hoodie for sure!

Dan Yoder said...

Dont worry Dave I kinda feel the same way about bringing up the Hebrew thing...sorry if I incited any ill will amongst the brethren of the two wheel.
