Shaz. I for one want an Aussie Cherub Shirt! Could you design one with a Cherub in a Kangaroo pouch?

Lynne, will see what we can do.
What about quality of the tshirts. Are ALL the t's the same, do any style of shirt fit better??

I don't know about the shirts but I ordered a tote bag which I LOVE. The quality is great, the print has held up wonderfully.

WELL ..................
I agree %100 with Corin, my TOTE bag is amazing, has held up great , the note cards are great .. my shirts that I have ordered .. well .. honesty ... they arent holding up good at all, they are getting all knotty. Mine especially, Cole's are OK, but they could be alot better quality! For the price, the quality isnt equilavent.
hope this helps!
AUSSIE shirt with CHERUB in pouch is awesome idea LYNNE !

Shaz,
I haven't got time right now to go into it but the T-shirts are diff. Mine was really see through. Brenton's was ok and the kids were ok. Mine was the women's v-neck I think?? it wasn't the greatest fit!!! No offence to anyone, they are still worn with love and pride!

Mine had held up great. I got the ringer tee. pink, no fading of color.

I have the ringer tee, too, and love it. Nice thickness and quality!
I also have the Jr. Jersey T-shirt short sleeved. It is a very thin cheap material and the sizing on it runs VERY SMALL and SNUG! I have the XLarge size and its still very form fitting on me.
The boys have the "kids" t-shirts and they seem to be pretty decent. Just your average t-shirt.
Some advice for you - whatever you design, avoid pastel colors as they DO NOT show up well on Cafe Press items. I have numerous awareness ribbon items and they are very faded looking. I've had other pastel colored prints from Cafepress in the past and they too were very faded looking. I also have the brighter colored CHERUBS logo merchandise and love it. The brighter colors come out so much better!
Shaz,
Will you be sourcing the Tees locally? Why don't we write a letter to Sarah Murdoch (nee O'Hare) to see if she could wrangle us a good discount with Bonds. She's a mum and she's the ambassador for the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute so we might manage to pull at her heart strings. We can only try. And Bonds are reasonable quality cotton tees, for kids and adults.

I LOVE the sweatsuits - wear them all the time! Craig is tired of seeing me in them. lol. I work from home, I can get away with it. ;)
Love the ringer tees too and the buttons, stickers and bumper stickers. Wasn't so happy with the hats and tank top.

1 more note.... highly recommend doing as many products as possible as everyone likes different things. We had people order 121 DIFFERENT items in the past 3 months (mostly because of the conference). Great for awareness but not the best fundraiser as we only make $1 to $3 off each item... so sometimes I can spend 5 hours on a graphic that only makes $3 for CHERUBS in 3 or 4 years. But we're raising awareness! :)
And I vote for the kangaroo t-shirt too! :)
