I agree. Maybe a nice moisture wicking tank top? I'd buy one! I just don't seem to wear the bandana all that much, and the patches are still awaiting attatchment to something!
Stuff people normally wear on a hike would be a good seller I think. Jim? |

| I'd definitely be into a Wicking Top, either a T-Shirt or a long sleeve one. |

Jim, I'd buy two (one for me and one for Brian) as long as the CT emblem wasn't too big - maybe something on the sleeve rather than the front of the T. And it would definitely need to be a wicking top.

| I'd buy one if it was a fast dry shirt. Nothing says soppy mess like cotton - blah. I'd like to vote on where and how big the design is on the shirt when you think of two or three, that'd be fun! |

I only like 100% cotton shirts, polyester sucks!
Don't have to be hiking to wear em! |

I'd probably only wear it while hiking so I won't want cotton. May be too much to ask for but maybe there could be two choices: a quick dry T and a cotton T. That way everyone could get something they like.
Cheers! |

| This is a good idea folks, but this post is into it's 8th day and LS hasn't responded either way. Just a thought but maybe he has enough to do with out becoming the next garment distributor in the lower mainland. You could always buy your own shirt and either buy a Clubtread patch and sow it on, or have someone embroider the patch design on for you. The guy does lots here as it is, as does Shadowchaser. |

Heheh its funny, I was going to reply then canceled it until I could dig up more info. My original post was: would people prefer a small embroidered logo or an iron on. The stitched would end up being more expensive. Oddly enough, I was looking at a few samples today. I'm into doing it, but I'd probably want to do some sort of a bulk order and not hold stock. Kinda like what we did in the past for the calendars. |

what about using Cafe Press?
A year ago or so, I uploaded my own design (very easy) and had options to apply it to a vast selection of goods. I ended up printing a baseball tshirt or few (raglan sleeves that stop mid-way between wrist and elbow) but there is a wide range of products available on which a design can be used: hats, tshirts, mugs, you name it.
Also, Cafe Press is print on demand: load the design once, then enable others to buy as many - or as few - products as they wish. There's no inventory to carry, Cafe Press prints one-of's (and ships them) as the orders arrive.
I have no financial interest in CP, I am a happy customer who has purchased shirts created by other people, and created and bought my own design as well. |

| Unfortunately, Cafe Press does not offer a non-cotton shirt - at least they didn't the last time I looked. |

true.
the cotton tshirt comes in handy *after* the hike, as one relaxes by the fire, near the tent; or back in town at the brewpub before returning home.
by the way, putting logos on wicking fabrics can be problematic. the process usually involves silkscreening or some sort of heat transfer. I have one logowear wicking shirt (with local software company name), and the brand name has all but rubbed off after a few washings. |

| Other than very nice comfort, I find that cotton shirts last much longer than 50% polyester 50% cotton etc. 100% cotton is the best for just a simple t-shirt. I think logos may hold up better on the cotton too (I could be wrong). |

Well if your up for it and find the time between chasing your little one around, working and moderating... bonus. If you go for the embroidered style, wicking type shirt then I'd be interested as well. |

| i also agree that a silk screened or similar type of logo wont stay on a wicking shirt. I've got one that I've used for about a year, and the tag was silf screened on. now there is no evidence that it had a tag, and since its a very plain shirt, you cant tell which way is forward untill you put it on and it oesnt fit right. embroidered would be much better if we went with a wicking type |

I vote for a small embroidered logo on fast dry tees, tanks, and long sleeved shirts |
