Ok, we're now taking orders for this year's Tradgang St. Judes T-shirt. The design for this year is more child friendly but some adults liked it too so we will offer the shirt in both youth and adult sizes. The print will be on the front of the shirts only. We are also going to offer them in two colors; sand and kiwi.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/Talondale/Archery/St%20Judes/keepitsimple-sand.jpg)
We're going to run this like last time. (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=060486;p=1)
This year the shirts are Gildan brand heavy T\\'s (http://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/Gildan_5000B.htm) , 100% pre-shrunk cotton. My kids just got two shirts for their church choir in the kiwi color and it looks good and is good quality. Cost will be again $25 for youth and adult (with an additional charge for XXL and XXXL adult, $2 and $3 respectively). Youth T comes in Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL (a seperate website (http://www.teeshirtsrock.com/sizechart.aspx) suggest the sizing for youth as S=6-8, M=10-12, L=14-16, that's a rough estimate). The adult Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. (see my post below for the possibility for toddler and infant sizes) It may seem high for a tshirt but the point is to raise money for St. Judes. Everything over costs (actual tshirt, printing, and postage) goes directly to St. Judes.
NOW OFFERING TODDLER SIZES: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5/6, 7
(Note: Toddler sizes are a different shirt company and different color (http://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/item.asp?item=RS3301&color=25&uid=Q9VV75NILLOKLSN740322.2080671296) - Key Lime)
TO ORDER: Send a check for $25 FOR EACH SHIRT (suggest $27 for 2XL and $28 for 3XL) to:

Post on this thread how many, what size, and prefered color between now and 9PM June 6. You can post your mailing address on this thread or EMAIL me your mailing address at Talondale @yahoo.com (take out the space in front of the @ symbol) (I would recommend email). PLEASE DON'T PM ME. My box will fill up and I won't get the PM and won't know.
Last time we sold 101 shirts and raised $1,700. Let's see if we can beat it this time. My son Jesse (in my avatar) was a patient at St Jude with uncurable cancer and they have a special place in our hearts and this was the best way we thought we could add to the auction. This way those of us who's hearts are bigger than our wallets can participate. There's no limit to how many you can order. If you have any other questions post them here or email me.
Thanks
-
Chuck, who do you want us to make the check to.
I would like a xtra small child in the green.
Good on ya Chuck! God Bless you.
-
Make checks payable to me. If that makes you uncomfortable you can make it out to St. Judes. I will need enough made out to me to cover the costs of everything then it doesn't matter.
-
What kind of kid sizes will you have? My daughter is 2. I think she wears a 24 month shirt, but it might be 18month. Womens sizes too?
Thanks.
-
Love the idea, the shirts and the "simple" design, Chuck. You guys GO, big time. Hope the shirts raise a bunch - bless your hearts.
-
I too am interested in what sizes you have for children and if you have 18mo - 24mo. Thanks
-
Yep...need sizes please.
-
chuck can you clarify the sizes for the kids, please..and both kids and adults are $25?
-
Youth T comes in Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL (my kids got the small and they wear 6/6 slim and it fit them but was roomy in the shoulders. The adult Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. We may not be able to do an infant print because we are using only one screen setup for both the adult and youth shirts to save money. Another screen setup for a four color print like this in order to fit infant size shirts would cost us an additional $100 setup fee ($25 per color screen). This would mean that the St. Judes kids wouldn't get as much money. BUT... if we can get enough infant or toddler size orders to justify a second printing (at least five shirts or more to at least cover costs) then I'm willing to include infant/toddler sizes too. The only problem I see is that the toddler/infant (http://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/item.asp?item=RS3301&color=25&uid=Q9VV75NILLOKLSN740322.2080671296) t-shirts come in different colors (Gildan doesn't seem to offer toddler or infant size shirts). We'd have to pick one color and adjust the print colors to compliment. But since we'd be doing all new screens that shouldn't be a problem. Toddler sizes look to be Sizes: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5/6, 7. Not sure if we could use the same image size for infants. If not we'd need enough orders in both infant and toddler to do both. I'll get clarification from the printer on how many setups we would need.
So, in short, post here if you'd have an interest in a toddler/infant size shirt and what color you'd think best, and how many. If we get enough orders and a fairly obvious color preference we're willing to make some.
-
OK...I need 2 adult Larges - and 3 adult Mediums...and 2 Youth Mediums.
ALL of them the Green color please.
I'll make the check out to you cause you did a jam up job last time and I want to make sure you get yourself covered. I know you'll take care of the donations....and thanks for doing this. :notworthy:
-
I think we should also send in one to Doug to send in with the checks at the end of the auction....St Judes might want to tac it up somewhere for the kids to see.....and it probably needs to be a kids size as well.
-
Great idea Terry and great job Chuck, I'll need one, lg sand and one, med kiwi, both adult. Thanks!!
-
Thanks Terry and Doug. I'll put in an order for a youth shirt to send to Doug for St Judes as well.
@ Drew,
Yes, both youth (and infant or toddler if we add them) and adults are $25 each, with the exception of the 2XL and 3XL sizes as mentioned. Think of it as a "premium" (business jargon for gift) for each $25 dollar donation.
-
No problem Chuck. Check is on the way. If you end up doing toddler sizes, I would like to change my order to a 3T.If not the extra small will work. Thanks
-
I need 1 XL adult sandstone, 1 L youth kiwi. Thank you
-
i need 1-XS youth & 2-XL adults...all 3 in kiwi.

Oops! Forgot to say I would like them in kiwi.
-
I'm going to need a 2T if you get enough orders. I would vote for pink if it can be, if not then kiwi.
I'm sure my grand daughter(due July 30)Brinlee May will look good in anything.
Just let me know if its a go or not and I'll get a check out to you.
God bless,Mudd
-
I'll take an XL Kiwi...check sent in your name. Doc
-
Check will be in the mail today for $200.
$175 for my order....and I got the Hospital one covered as well with the other $25.
I would think the Kiwi would be best for the hospital....that color will pop...and kids like bright colors as well.
Thank again for the effort sir!!
-
Thank you Chuck for doing this. I noticed "Jesse, forever 5" below your posts. Funny, so to speak, how people think the same things. So I will follow your lead and add my son to, I beleive, it's my signature. "Forever 18" has been running through my mind alot lately.
-
When will you know if you have enough infant orders to have them available?
Thank you!
God bless,Mudd

@ Terry, one small kiwi ordered for SJCH
@ Mudd, we have 5 people expressing interest in toddler sizes. That breaks us about even for a new setup. I'd like to get 5 more before we go through the trouble/expense of toddler T's. The closest color they have to kiwi, which seems most popular so far, is the key lime (http://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/Rabbit-Skins_RS3401.htm%7CQ9VV75NILLOKLSN740322.2080671296) . That's what we'll probably use.
@ Ben Maher, I'll have to take 3 tshirts down to the post office and ask them how much it would cost to ship them to Australia. Email me your shipping address so I can get a more accurate estimate. Thanks.
-
Chuck...add a 3T to my order. i've already sent a check for my other order so i will get another check out for this one if you will let me know for sure you are getting them.
Thank you sir!
-
Will do Randy. It shouldn't be long. There seems to be a real interest in toddler sizes, no suprise considering the picture, so as soon as I get 5 more commitments I'll take the orders.
-
Chuck I am good for 2 adult (M and XXL) and 2 kids (S and M) all in KIWI...check being sent today for $102. THANKS FOR DOING THIS!
-
Any chance of getting XXXL tall ?
-
Come on folks! You Moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and cousins .... and/or even friends or neighbors who has a baby or grand baby who needs a new T-shirt,jump in here and make you desire for infant shirts known. Chuck says we need 5 more to make it work.
Thank you in advance!
God bless,Mudd
-
Sorry Northwest_Bowhunter, no talls. The full body length on the 2XL is 32".

-
By my count we only need 2 more toddler orders to help Talondale be able to make it happen.
I know Brinlee will look good in one of these once in a lifetime Tees'! I'd love to be able to put one on her so I keep posting in hopes that at least 2 more someones will see this and feel the same way about a baby they know. :pray:
God bless,Mudd
-
Michelle and I, are in for a couple, 1 sm-kiwi, 1-xl-sand, will put check in mail tues morning. Todd
-
Being from Canada, I can't simply write a check for the T-shirt (high bank fees). Is it ok to send a money order in your name?
-
1- adult 2XL in kiwi please. check will go out tuesday morning.

Hunter 709, a money order will be fine.
-
:thumbsup:
-
I have sent confirmation emails to everyone that I've received a check from so far. We have orders for 42 shirts, not quite half of last time, and if we can get two more toddler size orders we will be able to offer toddler shirts as well.
-
Talondale, is there any chance we can use PayPal?
-
Sure, I'll PM you Ben.
-
I never thought to ask about PayPal, that would be much easier and cheaper than a money order, could you send me your PayPal information as well. I will send you an email as well in case you check that more often. Thanks.
-
I'll take 1 medium adult in Kiwi. I will pay with paypal and send my address by email. Thanks for organizing this t-shirt sale. I love the design, it reminds me of the "Lifes Good" line of T-Shirts.
-
Hey folks we still need two more orders on the toddler shirts to make it possible for Talondale to be able make the other 8.
10 toddler T's X $25.= a great investment for helping heal children.
God bless,Mudd
-
I'll take 1 adult Medium (green) and 1 adult XL (tan) please. Cheque in mail. Thanks.
-
Got a whole new stack of checks in today. I'll go through them and notify senders that I received them.
Let's push this over 50 shirts!
-
I'll take one adult 2XL in tan and one adult Medium in kiwi. Sending check today. Thanks.
-
Chuck, i was in for a 3t also assuming we had enough orders. If you are still lacking 2 todlers to have enough, put me down for a 4t and a 5t in addition to the 3t i had ordered. My granddaughter can grow out of one and into another and then another!
Thanks again for doing this for St Judes.
-
Wohoo! That makes 10 for the toddlers. Now where do I send my check..lol I bet I can find it.
I want one, the smallest size for Brinlee.
Who knows maybe it'll be here in time for her birthday which they tell me is going to be July 30th.
God bless,Mudd
PS: My check will be in the mail today!
-
Ok! We are now taking Toddler orders. Thanks Rastaman!
Sizes are: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5/6, 7
-
Awesome I will also get my check in the mail for the (2) 4T's.
Thanks, Phil
-
Mine is now headed to the mailbox!
Thank you for all you are doing.
I forgot to put my mailing address inside the envelope but it is on the outside or you can let me know if I need to e-mail it to you.
God bless,Mudd
-
Paypal and PM sent!

-
I'll take 1 2XL, 1 medium, and 1 children's xs. All in the kiwi color. Thank you for doing this. God bless.

-

Scott
-
Chuck....just email me a total when there is one...or post in on the top thread 'Auction Totals'.
Many thanks!!!!!!!
-
Thanx Chuck!
We'll take an XL adult, a youth Small and youth Large...all in Kiwi
-
I'll take a 2T in kiwi, if I am not too late...
-
Ok guys, I'm a little behind here. Work emergency has me working overtime and haven't caught up yet. Stand by.
-
Hey Chuck! When would the absolute last day for someone to order a shirt be?
-
I'm going through my mail today and sending in the order so speak up. A funny story: I was talking to the sales guy for the printer and he told me to put him down for one shirt too. :thumbsup:
-
Ok, I've gone through all the checks I have in hand and I've notified everyone by email that I received their payment (both Paypal and by mail). It looks like we've got 67 shirts so far. This is the last call. Last time we had a lot of people who somehow missed the thread and wanted a shirt after we ordered them. I'll send my order in after 4PM Eastern. If you missed this and want a shirt post it here before then and I'll throw your order in with the others.
Thanks for all the orders and also for those of you that threw in something extra for the kids!
-
Last chance.
-
Wasn't really happy with the quote I got. Waiting on a second quote from the printer we used last time. Talked to him today and hopefully will get email soon.
-
Shirts should be in my hands the 16th and then out to you guys.
-
ttt if anyone was wondering about the shirt order.
-
Just got an email and they are now saying a delivery of Monday the 19th. I'll get them out as soon as possible once I get them in.
-
Shirts are in!! I'll start packaging them tonight for mail. Probably will take me a couple of days.
-
Wish I'd seen this in time... :(
-
One of the colors was not what we ordered and I am in discussion with the printer. I don't want people to receive a shirt that doesn't look like what they ordered.

Chopx2 you're in luck. The original run of shirts didn't match our color specifications and the print shop is letting me sell them at a discount to try and prevent a total loss for them. So I'm offering 75 shirts at the reduced price of $15.
These are the sizes I have available:
Adult Sand: 1 Med 4 Lg 6 XLG 2 XXLG
Youth Sand: 2 XSM 3 SM
Adult Kiwi: 2 SM 12 MD 7 LG 9XLG 4 XXLG
Youth Kiwi: 2 SM 3 SM 4 MD 2 LG
Toddler: 3 2T 2 3T 4 4T 1 5/6 2 7
The printer is letting me sell these as consignment, I'll only be charged for the ones I sell, and at a reduced cost, anything I don't sell the print shop will take a loss on. St Jude will still make money on these "seconds" as well so if you missed out please place your order. Same instructions as the originally with the price being $15 instead of $25.
Here's what the shirts look like, this is a scanned image of the actual shirts so the colors aren't EXACT but close.
Sand

For those who originally ordered this obviously means a delay. My wife and I have to go look at palette colors to make sure the next run is exactly what we ordered. So it may be next week before the second batch is ready. For new orders on these "seconds" your shirt will go out as soon as we get your check since they're done and waiting to go out. Sorry for the delay but I wanted the shirts to be as close to what I originally posted as possible since that's what you agreed to buy.
Thanks.
If any original orderers think the current shirts are fine and want them sent I'll go ahead and send them and adjust the new print order.
-
Send mine and don't worry about the difference. Thank you for your efforts.
-
Ok Hatchchaser I'll send them on.
-
Chuck...same here. You can send mine as is and keep the difference for St Judes unless it will mess up your new order. Whatever works best for you.
-
Rastaman, I'll send yours out tomorrow.
-
Rasta and Hatch, your shirts went out yesterday.
-
Go ahead and ship my toddler shirt in the lemon-lime green color. That's the brightest color I see of what you've posted.
Thanks!
God bless,Mudd
-
Send mine also and don't worry about the change.
-
Like a large in sand...PM the paypal info thanks.
-
Sent you an email with what I hope you still have
-
Roy "Mudd",
Your shirt went out today.
-
You can go ahead and send my order.
Thanks!
-
You can send out my order too, the wife doesn't mind so everything's good. Thanks......
-
Got my shirts today. You did another great job Chuck! Thanks again!
-
Chuck ... you can send mine also, no need to redo. More for the kids !
Thanks, Ken
-
swp and rollin,
Yours is going out today. Elkken, Joe Keith, and Greg Clark, yours will go out tomorrow. ChopX2 I have replied to your email. Thanks.
Chuck
-
Same for me Chuck...plus those "extras" I ordered :) No need to go to any trouble. Think they look great!
-
Ok, I'm going to reorder the rest of the shirts so I can get them out to people as fast as possible. I'll start a new thread once that's all out and try to sell the rest of the first run shirts.
Ellken, Joe Keith and Greg Clark, I've pulled your shirts and will mail them tomorrow. Mike (wapiti792) I sent you an email.
-
You can put me down for 1 XXL sand and 1 XXL kiwi of the first run if you still have any. If you don't have both colors I will take 2 of whatever you have in that size. I would have ordered before but for whatever reason I missed the boat. Also, I'd like to pay the full boat for them.
Let me know how to send via PayPal (PM me).
-
Mitch,
PM sent.

Got mine and they are real nice! Thanks, Chuck.

put me down for the adult xl in kiwi. Do you have a paypal site or where should I mail the check to?
-
I'm out of pocket for a week so no updates until I get back.
Thanks
-
Well I'm back and I have more bad news; the printer ran out of ink and had to order more which was supposed to be in yesterday (haven't received confirmation) and the ETA for the new shirts is the 16th (if the ink came in). To top it off the vendor charged my account without billing me first, while I was on vacation and it left my account empty since I haven't deposited all the checks. Needless to say I'm not happy with this vendor and won't be using them again. I'm sorry for the problems and delays.
-
The shirts are done and I've mailed them to everyone who has paid for them. Hope you guys like them.
-
Hey Chuck....have all of them been sold (discounted and otherwise)?
Thanks again for the effort you put into this project!
-
Rastaman,
No, I still have some of the original print but don't have the list with me at the moment. I'll post that later.
-
Thank you sir!
-
Here's a list of what I've got available from the first printing:
4T (2)
Youth Med Kiwi (2)
Adult Small Kiwi (2)
Adult Med Kiwi (2)
Adult XL Sand (1)
-
I'll be sending Doug checks totaling $933.75 Monday! (edited: a coworker wants two shirts as well)
We still have a few checks that need to be sent in but they can be sent to Doug directly made out to St Jude and I'll send those people their shirts. We also still have a few shirts left over.
So all in all close to $1,000! Thanks everyone for your orders and helping out St Jude.
-
Wahoo! How cool is this? Way!! I'm saying...
Thank you Talondale for your efforts!!
I greatly appreciate all you've done.
God bless you!!
