RE: by Hell's Kitten

I love the first Serenity tshirt, and would definitely order at lest 3 if they came in straight styles and babydolls to XXL. (Almost everyone I know who'd want one is not a small person) :)

Blue Sun is easiest to make, so I'll probably have that run first. I'm sorry to say that I don't think the "Water" shirt is feasible because of the graphic's location. Okay, well, it is feasible, but it's just really expensive due to the necessary customizations. I may just stick with making that one myself. So, right now, my hopes are to produce the Blue Sun, new Serenity logo, and Fighting Elves shirts.

As far as ordering goes: I'm thinking that I'll make up a quick ordery type form and post it to my website. This ordery type form will have all the available sizes and styles, so if it ain't on the form, y'ain't gonna be able to get it. From there, you'll be able to email me at a specific-shirt-ordering email address so none of your orders get lost in all my other junk mail.

Once things become more certain, I'll post a "go ahead and order" message on this thread, and I may also start a new thread if this one gets too long or too burried.

Definitely put me down for an XL in the new Serenity logo and the "Fighting Elves" shirts when you run them.

If you decide to run any more let us know. I will be willing to buy them.

I'll definitely keep checking for updates - I can't wait to buy some of these most excellent apparels.

One thing, though - Will the "Trouble Maker" design be another one of those "probably-won't-do-it" designs, because of the sleeve graphic? I'd be mighty disappointed if I couldn't get ahold of one of those....and I would be willing to pay extra for the fancy sleeve dealie.

With the designs you have listed, I'd definitely go for a "Fighting Elves" shirt, and I'd also definitely go for "Trouble Maker" if it was available. "Blue Sun" is pretty tempting, too.

Including shipping to each person, $10 for a one color shirt isn't too bad, but you could probably do better. I've worked with several bands over the years getting shirts done and there are some great diy places you can order from on the net or through the mail that have great prices. I used to use jbug prints (you could get one-sided, single color shirts for about $4, no minimum order, no setup/screen charges), but they seem to be revamping their website at the moment.

You might try http://www.prngraphics.com/

There you can get a dozen color shirts with one ink color for $3.56 each, plus a $10 screen charge. That would come out to about $4.40 per shirt. And they have no minimum order number, so you could even buy just one shirt if you wanted (though it will cost more).

The only problem I can think of is that some places may be leery of working with designs to which you do not own the legal rights.

You act like you need a reason to wear FF shirts! I just want to wear them around my friends to make them jealous!

Okay, so it doesn't so much make them jealous as remind them of how big of a FF geek I am, but it's still fun.

JENSKI

If you're still thinking of producing these, I'd love a couple!

I would definately buy:

(4) Wan2 Nao4 "Rowdy Play" or "Trouble Maker" (slang) - Jayne wore this shirt in "Jaynestown."

(1&2) Shui3 "Water" - Jayne wears this shirt near the end of "Serenity." The logo is actually on his left shoulder. This is the toughest shirt by far to make and doesn't photograph all that well.

(3) Yong3 "Soldier" or "Brave" - Jayne wears this in several episodes, including "Ariel" and "War Stories."

(4) Zhan4 Dou4 de Xiao3 Jing1 Ling2 "(the) Fighting Elves" - Jayne wears this shirt in several episodes, including "War Stories" and "Safe."

Please let me know how this is going, as they look ace!

Email is jhc@alphalink.com.au

Specially the cast/crew one, just one question (and it will sound naive) but the tshirts are available for men as well, arent they? its because the pictures are girl shirts...and I dont have time to read the whole thread, so its the only thing I was wondering.

Thank you!!!

Ya know, I hate to say it, but there really isn't much I can tell you (all) at the moment. There is a whole lot more involved with this than I anticipated:
ensuring that the graphics have been adequately modified for screen printing purposes (you'd all laugh if you knew how I made these graphics), having to decide on shirt colors, styles and quantities, all the while keeping the cost in mind (for my initial expenditure as well as your cost)....
I'm also considering enlisting the help of that fine fellow Brown Coat from bluesunshirts.com, but haven't gotten around to doing anything about that. The current state of my work has kept me busier than normal lately, so things are falling behind. Sorry 'bout that, but there's not a whole lot I can do. I just need a nice long vacation so I can focus on important things like this.

Anyhow, blah blah blah, right?

I haven't forgotten. I am working on it.

Again, for those who don't want to go through this whole thread for answers: most likely the production order is the original Blue Sun shirt, the new Serenity logo, and the Fighting Elves shirt, with others to follow as feasible; best size range I can get for men and women; good quality shirts; shirt colors as close as I can get them; will ship overseas; paypal, Mountain Dew, or whatever for payment; I'll post a new thread with ordering information as soon as that's available. Or would a "firefly blog" thingie be any better? Anything else? Send me a wave....

I would suggest a new thread once you're ready. Also, a post here to direct everyone who's watching it (like me!

) to the new thread would be good.

Given those three choices... I'll probably take the Blue Sun and the Serenity, both in a men's medium. Heck, I might just buy two of one of them... Or two of both... *sigh*

Again, thanks, 'Kitten. The work is greatly appreciated by all of us!

UPDATE

Alex from www.bluesunshirts.com will be posting a sort of "are you interested" section for my shirts on his website. Follow this new thread:

http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=13&t=7844

I'll try to keep both threads updated as things progress. FYI, if you check out his website and look in the "Pre order" section, the "Serenity" logo and the "Fighting Elves" graphics he has posted right now (11/08/04) are very nice, but they are NOT my designs. I'm going to work with Alex to (hopefully) get a section for my graphics so we can gage interest for actual printing and ordering. He knows more about this than I do, so I'll shut up now. Be sure to thank him for being willing to make these shirts (and put up with me).
