GTR Shirt - the 1148 Legends Ride

[DavidFL]

A shirt sample has been received & sadly it doesn't pass. A couple of errors that were to be corrected were not.
So I'm moving onto the next shop......a new one I've found that is 500 metres from my house! 55
Stand by we should get the design nailed 200% pin sharp & the colours spot on.

Meanwhile the sample sent. We've almost nailed it......

Shirt size was an XL. I just managed to fit in it. Confirmation I lost 12kgs from my crash.

A new size chart & pricing us coming. There will be no one price fits all, & bigger size shirts will have bigger prices sad to say.
Details for both coming.

Got an update to share here Dave?

I sent the receipt for payment to our ongoing conversation. Let me know if I need to send it again. Many thanks.

I had already sent the receipt for 700฿ payment I made before you found out that larger sizes will cost more. just let me know how much the "big boy tax" is and I'll send it along.

Hi, where to send the money to for 2 shirts, 2XS and 2XL?

A bit of an ongoing design fiasco...55
The local shop 500 metres away from house.....
Yes we can fix, we understand, we can see the isues from the sample you have given us.
You do the design work yourself inhouse?
Yes.
Ok do we understand each other now what has to be done?
Yes. We just need the original files & in a week we will have a sample ready for you.
Briliant I thought.

Then off to MHS for the GTR Memorial Ride & whilst away I get a message - the shop has lost the original files.
What?
Yes the other shop we work with, they will do the work. Not us!
WTF comes to mind.
The original 600DPI artwork files are resent to the shop.
2 weeks later I receive a sample artwork image

Multiple new unrequested design changes!
A list of another 7 corrections has been sent off.
1 week later I'm still waiting for the latest version for approval.
Jai yen yen they say?

For the guys offering to pay, or who have paid, please wait until it is all 200% confirmed this shop is getting the job, because at the moment they are no better than the previous shop that wasted 2 months of my time.
The final design should be a pin sharp, crystal clear, bright version of this

Good looking shirts. But they look a little too busy with the checkered collar and those black triangles on the front. IMHO

Thanks for the feedback. You're the 2nd one to dislike the chequered collar.
Let's wait & see how it look in the finished design image, then maybe look at a black collar, as an alternative.

 

[DavidFL]

The struggle goes on. but almost there.

Some unasked for changes crept in, so to get these tweaked next & I believe we have it nailed.

 

[icecaptain]

Good on ya Dave... you must have the patience of a saint!

 

[DavidFL]

I believe we've finally nailed it.

 

[DavidFL]

Standby the shop has had a kick up the bum!

Given the proliferation of green on the shirt can we get "Kawasaki" added somewhere

 

[DavidFL]

Finally. Let's have a vote......either

1. The black & white chequered collar
or
2. The black collar.

We can only have 1 option. So whichever one is the most popular will be it. Which one do you prefer?

 

[mikerust]

My fashion expert (sic) says #1

Go, Team Green

 

[Heineken]

#2 the black collar gets my vote

 

[scotty007]

Chequered Collar!

 

[icecaptain]

#2 black collar gets my vote

 

[Stefan]

Black collar

 

[DavidFL]

The popular vote is for the black collar.

Next to get a finished sample to confirm the design is going to be pin sharp.
Then we are in business finally to take orders.
I apologize to those who ordered & paid a few months ago, but the shirt will eventually get done & be available.

 

[DavidFL]

The material selected by Dave DKT & myself is a mesh vented microfibre

We think it will be a cool winner.
I'm also waiting for reconfirmation of the size chart.

 

[mikerust]

I didn't transfer the money yet.

I didn't transfer the money yet.

I will get you don't worry. Let's get all the boxes ticked first & everything is "perfect."

 

[DavidFL]

The size chart from the shop

They will confirm for larger sizes.
When I have a finished sample shirt, we will also be able to see if the size matches the specs shown.

The shirt size chart

The actual sizes are undersized, 1 size less
This XL = 42 inches.
It really is an L going on the chart.

I should take a 2XL going on that

BTW I've complained about the size chart & finished size, so they will check & redo the size chart.
Therefore before the final order goes in, we need to recheck & confirm the sizes with final shop, as we have changed shops.
Apologies for the usual confusion.


The shirt prices
The price went up with choice of material, plus for the bigger sizes.
XS - XL = 750 baht
2XL - 4XL = 800 baht
5XL - 8XL =840 baht
