Fund Raising for Al Kaplan: Buy a Tee-Shirt, the proceeds will go to all Al

tentative design for mug

The "uprezzing" seems to have worked all right. Original is 2400 by 900 pixels, the size I have been using for mugs.

[edit] Dave, I'll check if my mugs place does tee shirts also. Indian production costs are relatively low.

I sent some money to the paypal account digitalintrigue opened. Count me in for a Large t-shirt, preferably the original design of Al with the cigarette hanging out his mouth.

Al, hope your doing well. 🙂

Tee shirts made near Delhi, India

Tee shirts made near Delhi, India

The place where I have mugs made is http://www.itasveer.com/ and I have found their work prompt and satisfactory. For tee shirts, look at

Prices: http://www.itasveer.com/prices.do#section03
The present rate of exchange is around 48 Indian rupees to the US dollar.

Sizes: http://www.itasveer.com/prodTee.do
I do not know how these relate to US codes. 1 inch is 2.54 cm. approx.

iTasveer quoted rates for shipping mugs out of India which were far too high, so I have had them sent to me and have then sent them out myself at much lower cost, even after I pay a small sum to the man who goes to the post office. [edit] I am willing to do the same with tee shirts.

Those look good Mukul but shipping may kill us.

900 Rs to ship to the U.S. = $18.75 US for the first T-shirt and then $9.75 US for each additional T-Shirt

To Canada is about the same price.


370 Rs per T-Shirt = $7.70 US per printed T.

Add to that the shipping of $204 USD (if we order 20 T-Shirts) - each T-shirt ends up costing $18 USD from start to finish.

That's for shipping to the U.S. - Canadians will be a different cost because the shipping costs are different.

We do a top up of $5 per t-shirt going to Al - or perhaps more if people feel so inclined - maybe make each T cost a total of $30 USD (includes shipping) .....

Logistics may be difficult as well.

Hmmm.. let me stew upon this.

The $30 was my estimate from the start.
Unless we have something far more econmical in North America, what Mukul has offered sounds fine to me.
 
I have some buddies in the shirt business (they designed and printed shirts for the last Santana tour.) I can get prices, seems to me the shipping is a killer, a more local option may be preferred so less goes to the shirt and more to the fund.

Thoughts?
 
I agree with Joe here. We actually agree sometimes on some issues!
A recovery gift that is sent to Al directly will most likely cheer him up if it is in the form as "We want you to buy your own gift, Al. We love you, and we care for you and we know that you don't need the cash, but you know best what will make you happy".
