T-Shirt Update


Blade

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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. :D

Use cold/cold setting also. Good luck!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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:
