I am looking forward to the Lamont history book I just ordered from the Scot Shoppe, Dulcimer Dude got me amped up about the book and its bountiful info that I had to order a copy of my own. I think I have ordered just about everything ( except hat, or shirts) from the Shoppe. One thing I would jump all over is some snazzier looking tees. At Blairsville I noticed other clans had several shirts with different graphics that looked really cool, and wished we had some access to something similar at our Shoppe. I found some on a site that does silkscreening on different items but theyt want a arm and a leg. I picked up a tee from them and it was ok, but I believe we could do better. Has anyone considered tee options?

I know when I had my paintball store if I provided my own art the silk screening was considerably cheaper.
My suggestion would be to get them from a physical location rather than order from the internet. My Fire Department got screwed by runny ink when they tried to save a buck ordering from the internet.

Most of the clans here in the West get their Tees from Michael MacFarlane at Celtic Jackalope. He makes them in a variety of colors and types (short sleve, long sleve, womens French cut, womens strapie, mens muscle tee). You have to order in quantities of 24 of a type and like many vendors is sometimes a bit slow on delivery. But overall in the years we have been dealing with him we have bought several hundred shirts and turned a nice profit for the clan.

Thanks for the info, I was considering making some designs and seeing what can be done locally, once I do that I may start a thread and see if there is an interest and if anyone else might want to participate.
