Obviously, this is also a possibility for bringing back the first two styles as well. And, it would get me out of handling your money and fretting about order fulfillment. Yes, I'd set my "take" per shirt to zero.

And Fernando, I believe they offer color and I just happen to have that takouba logo art in high resolution...

Lee, before you order screen shirts possibly you should re-set the poll .

I apologize for the delays with the t-shirt subscription sale. The proposed final artwork is at http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/tshirt3.jpg (or here for the png version if you want to use zazzle or a similar service).

If you prefer the previous styles, be advised that I will post the artwork for those designs, with updated text in the near future.

Before I bother the printer, I wish to make sure we still have enough interest to meet the minimum for a screen printing as described above.

If you replied previously (or if you want to join in at this time) and want to buy one or more screen printed shirts with the Moro kris design, please advise me of the number you currently anticipate wanting.

I have finally gotten the artwork and the various requests for variants off to the printer and am awaiting his reply. Once I have his reply, we will know the actual price and I will have answers to some of the special request questions.

Obviously, members can no longer reply to this thread as we continue to test the setting blocking second party replies in swap. This has very effectively stopped discussions of the items for sale to include the targeted insinuating questions, but it has unfortunately also disabled the potentially useful "you have a PM" or "your PM box is full" reply as well as replies in threads such as this, that belong in swap as something is for sale but for which discussion presents no problem.

The pricing is a little lower than previously announced; not a lot but a little. Also, most of the requested variations are available, but at a cost, as per below.

One important change from the information above is that, for shirts with a front pocket, the smaller rendering in front will be opposite the pocket, rather than on the pocket, as placing it on the pocket would have made it too small.

Please refer to this page for ordering information. The PayPal address to place an order manually is ljones@vikingsword.com and this is also the e-mail for inquiries.

Firm (paid) orders have kind of stalled at about half of the minimum required in order to have these made at the screen printer. In order to have a good chance to get these delivered in mid September, I do need to stick to the time line of placing the final details with the printer on Tuesday, 1 September; with even a few days delay, my work schedule would surely push delivery to late September or early October.

Please understand that I will not be issuing another set of reminders and or repeatedly pushing back the deadline and whimpering for a few more orders to get up to the finish line. Come Tuesday, I may stretch and buy a couple of extras for myself if that would meet the minimum, otherwise I'll be very prompt with the refunds and we will just mark this off as a failed project.

The minimum order is now within a stretching reach, so this will be happening, with the order going in tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

For those participating, I will advise once I have a delivery estimate from the printer and therefore a shipping date; hopefully this can be within a week, for a mid-September delivery.
