Title: T- shirt Fundraiser for our Warbird.
Post by: flight17 on November 26, 2013, 02:23:33 PM
Some of you may know and remember that I volunteer and fly with a local aviation museum near Pittsburgh. We acquired a C47, that had served in the ETO from September 44 on until the end of the war, earlier this year and I'm trying to do a little bit more fundraising for her to complete her restoration.

I have done up a t shirt for the restoration of this proud old bird and I'm wondering if anyone here is interested. The order has not been placed yet, but I am already working with a company to have them printed. I'm just trying to figure out how many I should have done up for the first run.

The design is frozen, however there could be very slight changes done to it for printing reasons... But otherwise this is what it will look like.

(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd320/flightsimer/Air%20Heritage/C-47%2043-48716/432a1a1f168ac7d93f73d200718aa293_zpsdd2a9e32.jpg)

Here is a higher quality version of what the plane will look like printed on the back.

Price: $13.50 each plus shipping
Sizes: small- XL
Colors: Dark Blue, Dark Green, Medium Grey, Yellow

***Colors are not set completely yet, still waiting to hear back from the company. I'm offering 4 different colors of shirts currently but have not seen samples of the shirts yet, so what is black in the preview, may be a different color on the blue and green

I am also enquiring with the printing company about larger sizes, but my guess is they may be a little extra.

I have not yet looked at shipping prices yet, though I don't expect them to be too much. Either way, before any money changes hands, you will know the exact price. I may also set something up online so they can be paid for with a credit card.***


Here is a thread that you can look through and follow her restoration if you already haven't seen it.

  Where are the shirts to be made? Most foreign makers the sizes run small. I need at least an XXL.  :D

    The design is nice.  :aok

Alright Guys, if you could do me a favor. If you are still interested, let me know the size and color you would like. I'm going to be placing the order either tomorrow or Monday, but I will be meeting with the company tomorrow to finalize everything. PLEASE RESPOND TONIGHT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE COLOR AND SIZE YOU WANT!!!
I will Pm those of you who have said they are interested to finalize each order and to get your information to ship them.

XXL and XXXL sizes are available, however they are an extra $1.50 and $2.00 respectively per shirt. I have not figured out shipping yet, but will do that tomorrow. I'm going to try and target 5$ to ship a single shirt in a bubble envelope, but if its multiple shirts that require a larger box, it will be more.

There are two changes that will be done to the final product.  
Change 1) All of the Black lettering on the back of the shirt will be Red on the final shirt due to Black not showing on the dark Green and Blue Shirts. The aircraft outline will be done in white.

Change 2) The Air Heritage logo on the front will be reduced in size and placed over the left Breast.

Payment, I'm still not going to take payment right now, but I will start next week. It will be done through Paypal (Paypal or credit card) or by Check. If you chose the Paypal method, you do not have to have a paypal account, just a credit card. I will give more specific information in the PM I will send to those interested in the shirt.

Rich, What color and size would you like? I also need you to pm me your home address and a valid email address to send the invoice to for you to pay.

I was not able to make it to the post office in time today, so all the shirts that have been paid for in the last few days will all be shipped monday morning on my way to work.

So if anyone else would like to order on and receive it by the end of next week, please pm me with the following info:

Shirt Color(s)
shirt size(s)
Email Address
Shipping address

As long as this info is sent to me by tomorrow night (2/2/14), I will get your invoice sent to you. And as long as you pay prior to 9:30AM on 2/3/2014, your shirt will be in the mail that morning.

Thanks again,

Tyler Pinkerton

Phatzo,
 Get with your pals down under and get enough interest to order 10-15 shirts and split the shipping there, then send them to your buds or take a week off and drive around the island <G>, buy doing that you'll pay approximately the same as the rest of here in the states.  :aok

Isn't the restoration a Non-profit org?'
Shirt funds go to that org,
Should be free shipping in that case, I would think.
Check with Post Office flight17.

It is, but I know we have to pay shipping (stamps) for all of our member's quarterly newsletters we send out and I told them at the post office what the shirts were for. They did not say anything about having free shipping for non-profits.

Drat, I should have subscribed to this thread, I missed the details, sorry flight17!

Not sure if any are left, but if it's any use, I have a US based remailing service that I could use so the shipping would only be to Torrance, CA, I could also get Phatzo's shirt (if still available) and post it to him when it arrives here.

Sorry to be late to the party Sir, please let me know if any are left in xxxl in black or blue, if so, I'll get one for me and one for Phatz :)

Salute

If it's not too much trouble, yes please, let me know a total and the payment details, and I'll get it sorted out, as mentioned one for me and one for Phatzo please, XXL in blue or black (if you have both, can we do one of each, and I'll flip a coin with Phatz to see who gets what :))

Hey Flight,

 So me and the little lady went to SD Supercross tonight. Watched James Stewart KsumVillopotoyoungsterA and he whupped up on the 19 year old German as-well .  :old:  It was awesome.

I wore my "Luck of the Irish" shirt for the second time <1st was superbowl party>.  The fellow who got us the tickets.. his pops flew in a B-24 as bombardier in WWII "Luscious Lady" ...anyway he thought it was so cool he would like one too.  :aok  

Even cooler.... while I was explaining the story about your plane and showing him the shirt, right before 450 finals, the guy behind us <total stranger> says "That's really cool/squeak en I want 1" I said "Gimme 25 bucks and your address and I'll send it to ya" next thing I know he was tappin my shoulder with 50 bucks and said "My wife thinks its cool too.... Here's my address"  :eek: :lol ...His address turned out to be just down the road a little... So I'll ride it over when it gets here.

I'll just go with what got us here for color...

3 XXL in that same Irish green ..please!  :uhoh  :lol

Thanx,
 :salute
Fin



What a cool place ya'll have here...easy to the runway and all....wtg!

Megalodon, that's great to hear, I will get an order/invoice together for you soon.

I also want to let everyone know, if you paid for your shirts within the last 10 days, they have not been shipped out yet. I have gotten down sick again and have had other big things going on, that I have not been able to stop by the post office before they close to get them shipped. I'm planning to get them out either Friday or Saturday though.

As for extra shirts being sent out, as long as I have them, I will get you an invoice made up and sent out so they can be shipped ASAP. I will be placing another order here in the next two weeks or so for more shirts and will order any extra shirts I need then.

Post by: bacon8tr on February 12, 2014, 09:08:58 PM
Flight, I have been stopped a lot and asked about the shirts, how and where to get them etc.  Is it possible to direct them to your organization to direct order? Also, I'll be placing another order.  My wife even wants one. ( She stole my yellow XL and wears it to bed as her "sleeping shirt".) Needless to say I'm not complaining  :aok

That's great to hear bacon.

Tomorrow night is our monthly meeting and hopefully our website administrator will be there and i will talk to him about getting something more official set up so I don't have to create individual invoices for each order and go through the process of having to get email adresses and mailing addresses, etc. I'll get back to you guys soon.
