Ok everyone, Ive ordered a run of T-shirts.
Out of my own pocket, and sale will be at COST PRICE.
Those who know me, know Im not about making money from forum members.

It would cost a LOT more to have printing on the front AND back of the Tees, so to keep the price low, ive opted for a pic and lettering (V3M, stark and bold lettering so as not to infringe on Aymats website i.e. ripping the url) All on the front of the Tee.

The first run is 'not very many' Tees, which are currently being printed.
If we consume them, then further runs will be cheaper, as the tooling is already done and set.

Illustration Pics will follow.

Ive taken it upon myself to get these done, as there seemed to be a demand (represent the V3M!) and they are in no way connected to, or to fund the website. As I say, Im selling them for cost + postage, so Im not taking a penny, but theres also nothing left over for the site. Just want to make that clear because im honest.

Once theyre in, i'll list them in the FOR SALE section, delivery will be at cost (i.e. slovenia will be more than birmingham) But nothing will cost a fortune.

V3M is an amazing forum, full of good folk who are only too happy to help you up when youre down, so i for one will be wearing mine with pride.

No need for preorder dude, but i'll reserve you one fron the 1st run. Two-three days for the printing and delivery to me so shouldnt be long.
Design had to be altered slightly from the origonals on page1, as theyre low res, and i didnt want to infringe any rights. Buts its cool even if i do say so myself.

Theres lots of good people on this forum chris, and plenty have helped me out in one way or another. i saw an opertunity to, well 'give something back' sounds a bit corny and hollywood doesnt it? But i thought it was worth doing.

Pics coming as soon as i get them in.
It IS a limited run lads so if you want one shout up now and i'll reserve them out.
If not, first come, first served.

Well theyre expensive for tshirts dude, no getting away from that im affraid. But theyre absolute cost price.
The Best price I could get (and i had twelve quotes) breaks down at £15 per tee delivered. Thats Uk.

If thats too much man, fair doos.

I'll wear them all at once and sell all me coats.

It would have been cheaper and cheaper, the bigger the order, but I didnt wat to get lumbered with a vast amount if take-up was non-forthcoming.

Should be here by the weekend so i'll post pics then.

I don't believe you,

Firstly a Geordie would never wear more than one layer,

Secondly they'd never own a coat!

Common misconception.
We have coats.
We just dont wear them.
unless emergency circumstances dictate we need somewhere extra to carry or coal/knives/stotties once all our jeans pockets get full of coal/stotties/knives etc.

Thats a good question Dan,
all these shirts are XL, in effect 'one size fits all', as a lot of these things tend to be,
I shot for that because:
A) without pre order, its impossible to know what to get to suit everyone that might want one.
B) without putting in an order of considerable size, a lot of suppliers wont mix sizes.
C) because of the effect of alcohol, kebabs, sweets, cars, and all the other delicious diversions we all enjoy, most of the known world is no a bit on the 'well stacked' side.

Not that Im suggesting any of yous are fat mind. Obviously Dans ripped, Chris is an olympic gymnast and Figgys built like a counter-top 3 minute hour-glass, but XL really is BANG in the middle of modern size charts.


and to answer your actual enquiry Dan, yeah, theres one now held for you too.
