Well we finally got there...
I hope we are not breaching any forum etiquette by putting this on here!
We have put together a small but growing range of pinball related T Shirts on our new website for sale.
Please go and have a look and tell us what you think!

Hope you like what you see and we are always open to constructive criticism and comments!

I like the Tilt! one, but personally think over £26(delivered) is a tad dear.
Whilst you may not make as much per Tee if cheaper,I think you would in the long run make more as you would sell more.
it may be an idea to get yourself to the bigger shows - eg pin party,NLP etc
Best of luck
 
TYHO is being way too polite imho, he is a nice bloke but i am more blunt: they're waaaay overpriced dude, you have to leave the top prices to brands that have already established themselves. or to a market where people have no alternative. if i was being honest, i'd say that you won't be able to sell T shirts for more than a tenner each.

good luck, i hope you succeed and if you produce something good *and* of a reasonable price, i agree that you'll sell loads. i'd buy one. i already bought one pinball T shirt, and it's good quality and cost less than half of your price. sorry but that's the way the market works.

Good luck, but to be honest I'm too tight to spend that much on a shirt. £15 would probably be closer to my limit. I know high fashion shirts go for far more but the pinball bunch aren't really known for cutting edge threads.

Hope you sell a bunch though (Can we have a poll to see which size sells the best? I wanna pick XL or XXL:boink:)
 
I agree. Far too expensive. You don't mention whether they are silk-screen printed (they should be for that price) or vinyl heat transfer? Also no mention of quality of shirt i.e. cotton/heavyweight/brand etc.
I also believe most pinball fans are the wrong side of 30, in my opinion most of your designs are very 'young' and probably suited more for children?
Sorry, just being honest.
 
I like the designs, but in all honesty, I would never ever contemplate wearing a niche type of shirt like this. It just says middle aged nerd (which I am - but I don't want to advertise it!) It's comparable to tucking your t-shirt into your snow wash jeans and living with your mum at 40 (apologies if you still do). ;)
 
Like them and hope you do well from them but ad others have said, too expensive for what they are.
Honesty sorry.

Thanks for all the comments. We asked for constructive criticism and certainly got it!
A lot of positive ideas for us to look at so thank you all.
The main issue seems to be price, (isn't it always these days!)
We have been in touch with our garment supplier this morning who tells me he might be able to do something for us on costs, so watch this space.
We are also working on some new designs and will take on board the comment about them all being a bit 'young' looking.
Once again, thank you all for your input, it really is appreciated.

Nice designs, one thing I will say is after a bad experience I won't buy shirts where thermal transfers have been used, after a few washes they start to flake off.
 
I bought a **** load of pinball t- shirts recently, from different places, different prices. Some of the cheap ones were terrible quality, really thin and rubbish. The dearer ones, which I grudged at the time are of a much better material, fit better and just feel good. buy it cheap- buy it twice...
 
We have now renegotiated our prices with our supplier and by agreeing to buy the garments in bulk instead of as we need them we have got the price down considerably.
We didn't really want to do this in the early days as we obviously don't know if this venture is going to work and we don't want to end up with a load of garments and no buyers!
But then I suppose all new business is a risk and you have to speculate to accumulate and customer feedback has to be taken into account!
Thanks again for all the comments.
We have amended our website with the new prices and also added the information about the garments and printing as requested.
I am now going to release some stress on the pinball machine.
Onwards and upwards......

Prices seem a lot better, I believe NERG were looking for stalls/retailers for the weekend could b ideal for the pin tees.
