Zuskin Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I got mine yesterday. I am HUGE! I couldn't resist putting one on and it scared the bejeeeezzzus out of me. For a while, I was trapped. I though I'd never get loose. I think I'll go TWO sizes larger. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskinette_Vic Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Received mine yesterday! They are FABULOUS! I'm sporting the black one today at work - much to the annoyance of my 49ers loving boss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorEye Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Got my shirts today and they look great. Word to the wise if you haven't ordered yet - order big. XL is already snug and the Large I ordered is too small, but it's for a great cause. Thanks again for all the hard work that went into them.

Chris 44 Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Got mine a few days ago. Have been in the process of moving so I lost track of the board for the past week. All I can say is I was really going through withdrawls. Anyway, T shirts look great and thanks again for all your hard work guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjomama Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Having worked in textiles many moons ago at a dye plant i learned a good trick to set colors and screen designs. Before you wear the shirt (or at least the first time you wash them) Turn them inside out and put salt into the first washing. Sal****er will helpset and cure the dye. Looking forward to getting mine soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 After missing Airborne the first 2 times I finally got them last night. Let me just say that they are much better looking than I expected. Great job Blade and everyone else who was involved! I ordered 2 large and they are a little tight in the shoulder area but I figured I can still cut the sleeves off and wear them at the gym. So I cut up the black one last night and wear it to go work out. I'm was sure the shirt would strike up a football conversation since everyone there knows I'm a Skins fan. Sure enough, one of my friends there sees the shirt, walks up to me and says: "Dude, is that a porn site?" :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 NCJoMomma- How much salt do you add to the wash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjomama Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 You don't need to add a whole lot of salt...about 1/2 cup to a washer set to "small load". Then for good measure put it through a couple of rinses. I've done this with all my t-shirts for years and it really does look great longer. And now there is "oxyclean" which is great with colors also. My wife and I tried it a few months ago and swear by it, not at it. Use cold/cold setting also. Good luck!

Yomar Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I wore my shirt in to work today, it being Friday and all, and already in the first hour two people have complimented me on it. I am feeling like the **** of the block right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Yomar, That's just a ploy to get people to buy the T'Shirts. :laugh: What really happened? Did they laugh at you? hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I swear its true, I even got a third compliment after posting that, I thought it was a bit odd frankly, I mean I like the shirts but I never expected that sort of reception by a group of californians no less with no ties to the Skins. What can I say, I make this look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I had my black one on this past Saturday at a parade. I wasn't even watching, when a car load of people in the parade started yelling "Is that a Redskins shirt?" Needless to say what my reply was. They started woopin it up yelling Redskins as they drove past. Don't even know who they were, or why they were in the parade, but no doubt the shirts are an eye catcher.

Blade Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 To everyone who has made a donation in the past 4-6 weeks, I have just sent your shirts out today via Priority Mail. My apologies for the delay, but I had some major issues with the quality of service and honesty that I received from Airborne Express, and I will NOT be using thier services anymore. After a couple of weeks of back-n-forth, I decided that enough was enough, and just went with USPS. Since the shirts were sent Priority, you should be receiving them by Friday at the latest. Thanks again for the support and patience. Let me know if you have any problems or questions with the shirts. -Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Blade, Can you tell us if most of the shirts have been purchased? I am sure most of us don't want you to have to eat inventory of shirts we promised to buy. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Blondie, All but one pair of the XXXL shirts have been purchased (and those have Skins57 name on them), but there are many L, XL and XXL shirts left. There are only about 10-15 people who said they would donate but have not. We are probably 10-15 orders from breaking even, and the remaining shirts will help fund the site. So, just because there are more shirts available doesnt mean that there are alot of people who havent stepped up. I did buy more shirts than I had commitments for so that the extras could raise funds for site maintainance. One hundred percent of your donations go towards paying for the shirts, paying for webspace & bandwidth, paying for programmers, and paying for software upgrades. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to Extremeskins.com so far... And a special thanks to those of you who have made multiple donations!

Nighthawk Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I got home today, opened my mailbox and there it was, a package from Extremeskins.com. I pulled the package out and started jumping up and down and spinning around holding it as happy as a little kid on Christmas morning. It reminded me of the scene from the movie "The Jerk" when the new phone books come out and his name is in it. The shirts look great and fit perfect. My wife thought the shirts looked great even though she didn't know what the hell they were referring too. When I told her she just shook her head and:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
