heavyharmonies Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Allrightythen.... it took me a bit longer than anticipated to get things set up. I had another option I was exploring for shirts, but thus far it hasn't panned out. If it does, I'll make more shirt options available. I've set up a storefront using Cafe Press, and have filled it with a number of different combinations of t-shirt, sweatshirt, and baseball jersey designs, as well as mugs, caps, and a few other things. I had tried using Cafe Press several years ago, but the durability of the shirts was very problematic. They have since updated their technology and offer 2 options: 1. A more durable heat transfer. Provides the most vibrant color, initially has a bit of a plastic feel but smooths out over time. Does fade, but supposedly nowhere near as much as the older method did. 2. Direct-to-garment printing. Much more durable, will not fade, but the colors are not as vibrant as the heat transfer. Rather than choose one method over the other, I've left the option for people to choose for themselves. Before I went live, I wanted to see for myself if the quality was any good, so I purchased a random selection of items: 3 shirts of different designs, 2 of the beer steins, and the HH wall clock. The order was shipped the next day and arrived 3 days after I placed the order. Lightning fast, in my opinion. The print quality on the beer steins was much better than I anticipated. I don't know what technology they're using, but it works very well. The wall clock is fairly cheap in quality, but whaddaya expect for $15. Print quality is good. The 3 shirts I got were all printed using the direct-to-garment method (I will be purchasing a few that are printed via heat transfer to compare). The quality looks decent, but I see what they mean by the colors being not as vibrant as heat transfer. Please be aware, the design colors end up being muted when printed on a colored shirt, so the BANEED! isn't as vibrant as I'd like. Not sure if I'll keep that product available. IMPORTANT! At the end of August (they have not announced a firm date), Cafe Press will be raising prices on shirts that are printed 2-sided, by $3 per shirt. If you want to get one of the 2-sided shirts, my advice is to order one ASAP. I may be tweaking the combinations of products and designs/logos that are offered. If you have a particular request, or a suggestion for a new design, please let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate. For the ladies, the BANEED! thong is perfect for oh so many reasons... Here's the link. It's also now included on all of the sites: http://www.cafepress.com/hh1,hh3,hh4,hm1 Get some goofy gear in time for the MR concert, and support HH at the same time. Go nuts! -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalmaniac777 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 2. Direct-to-garment printing. Much more durable, will not fade, but the colors are not as vibrant as the heat transfer. I ordered a "Zom-B-Gone" shirt for my brother from Cafe Press last month that was direct-to-garment and it had all sorts of colors on it (well, mainly green and red) and it looked great. Based on my admittedly-limited experience with Cafe Press' shirts, I don't think anyone will be disappointed in how the colors look, regardless of which option you choose.

hsf Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Jeez. Leave for Florida for a few days and look what you miss! I'm just happy to say I knew HH back when, before the merch, at the creation of Baneed, early models of the t-shirts, and the days when the males here actually were more interested in looking at the women in the Major Babe-age thread than making jokes.

Evil Rick Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I got home from work yesterday to find my swag had arrived! I picked up a t-shirt, a baseball jersey, a coffee mug and a little sumfin' for the wife (she was wondering what the heck the "baneed" thing was all about ). Great quality and it took about 7 business days to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't worn it yet but plan to do a little advertising for HH a little bit this weekend. Oh, and the coffee tasted so much better today in the HH coffee mug!

zacharyamelie Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Just curious but have any famous musicians bought any of the HH clothing? I'd love to see a picture of Tommy Lee, Lemmy, Ozzy or even C.C. Deville wearing the HH duds in public. Even seeing board members posing for an HH catalogue of sorts would be a hoot. We just gotta make sure Geoff wears pants this time, unlike the Ten Seconds Over Tokyo photo. Hey Dan any chance of getter bigger sizes for the "full figured" males. I'm a big guy and a 2X would fit me like a glove, a tight OJ in court kinda of glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big guy and a 2X would fit me like a glove, a tight OJ in court kinda of glove. You're in the same boat I am. Some of the shirts have 3X options. I have no control over what sizes are offered for which items... -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Charvel Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I find the small range of sizes extremely offensive, and... Oops, sorry, wrong thread... On topic (for once): My wife really digs the tote, she says the straps are the perfect length for wearing over her shoulder. Not too long, not too short.
