Would like it if someone can post up pics (front/back) of the Marauder mechanics shirts I've seen at a few meets and give the history (where made/when/how much) behind them. I have an idea I've been rolling around in my head (lots of room for it...lol) for many months now and need pics of these shirts to move on to the next step...TIA.
Blackend300a had the shirts made.
I'll try to post up pics later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

There were 4 color choices: black w/ gray script, blue w/ gray script, red w/ black script & silver w/ black script
I have a blue mechanics shirt even tho I don't have a dbp. If the shirts were to be offered again think id get a black & red. I havent seen many pics with folks wearing the red one

Yeah & if I recall Paul was having an issue with Dickies (the manufactor of the shirts) & vowed he would never go through them again. I forget what the issue was

Indeed, dickies has been having supply issues, I had to wait 6 months to get certain sizes and colors. The first two runs I did went smooth, but the last run I had to make members wait months for their items and even ended up with wrong sizes sent to me directly from Dickie's. Nice products, but a hassle to work with.

IMHO... it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!! :banana2::banana2:
Thanks Paul!

I know it really frustrated Paul when the shirts did not come in as promised from his supplier, but I agree that they were well worth the wait on my end. I would do it again no question. (This time in black with red.;))

Why don't you ask me first?- Could have brought both type shirts by last week while at Russ's---newbe!!

Thanks, looks nice!
This would make a nice Marauderville shirt, change the front from Marauder to Marauderville X???

Do you have to be a mechanic to have one????

This would make a nice Marauderville shirt, change the front from Marauder to Marauderville X??? They are fairly expensive for that purpose. I wanna say they were $30-40 a piece ( well worth it but not in the budget for Maraudervilles where the t-shirt is included in your registration cost.) Ask me how I know! :D

So put it out there and see if anyone is interested. I totally understand the cost issue! ;)

Anyone got pics of the other colors?

YES== and you don't qualify--
you have to be special----so are you??

Not to mention they would never be ready in time even if you ordered them a month ago. Maybe Paul (Blackened300a) will agree to be tortured one more time and offer them independent of Marauderville but that is somewhat doubtful because of all the hassles he had to deal with last time. He swore he wouldn't do it again. But if he does I'm in.

I don't have a problem doing the leg work, I just felt terrible having members pay and then have to wait months for the product due to things out of my control. I could ask my supplier to get in touch with dickies and get a idea of inventory. If they have stock, I'll go for it one more time.

^^^^That would be nice of you to do, Paul! Everyone knows you deliver what you promise...no matter how long it takes. They were worth it IMO!

I can understand how you felt, Paul, but I think most (if not all) people would not be upset about something that's out of your control (Except for Marauderman, maybe...he seems to be pretty grumpy lately...:P)
Other than the jackets that were given out at the dealerships when a MM was purchased new, have there been any other type jackets made/offered up?

Paul:
Do you still have any extras of these shirts available for sale?
I would be interested in 1 XXL? Let me know

They were made to order. I didn't stock any extras because this is a expensive venture and I couldn't afford the risk of being stuck with them.

I am not grumpy newbee...you need to think of asking those who have been here a while to get quicker directions....that is what I was meaning earlier--when you could have asked beforehand at Russ's ---I coud have brought my two shirts by to look at--heck--even Russ may have had them both to look at--you didn't even meantion it ..funning you Kyle--it's all good...:beer:
Paul is super for what he does...he knows how I like his work......

Well...this idea I have in mind kinda comes and goes...hadn't thought about it for a couple weeks, then it popped up again the other day. Timing is everything, I guess. Didn't you say you had something you meant to bring to Russ's to show me but you forgot? What was it? You told me...but I forgot....lol....
