One Color Mad Munch T-Shirts

We also decided to print another batch of T-shirts before our money situation became uncertain.  A couple weeks into full-time Mad Munch life, our local T-shirt printer, James Gang, finished off our latest print.  This time around, we went with only one-color, direct to garment.  

I still think they are the best standard Mad Munch logo shirts we've had to date.

We chose around eight different colored, Hanes 50/50 cotton blend shirts.  Kate & I grabbed a few that we liked best, wore them to the markets religiously & boxed up the others to sell for $14 a shirt.  

That's right, you read that correctly, we sold them for only $14.  Our thought was, "we need them for our work uniform & as long as we sell enough of them to break even, than we have free work shirts."

Sounds good in theory & it's great for advertising.  It's pretty cool when you're out walking around OB & you see someone sporting your shirt with your design that you helped create.  

But, a lot of our T-shirt orders came from the east coast & the midwest (our friends & families back home).  And while the customer paid the shipping & handling costs, Kate still had to go to the post office & ship them out.  A lot of work for $14.

But the shirts themselves have stood the test of time.  I still have a few left, though after holes in the armpit region began to develop, I cut the sleeves off entirely.  

But, nevertheless.  I've worn those shirts more than any others in my closet & they lasted over five years of wear & tear.  Not bad, for a $14 tee.
