Title: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 11, 2016, 06:15:09 PM: Just got back from the press check for the new T-shirts. Printer reports I can pick up the shirts on Thursday. So we are planning on processing orders to start shipping on Monday July 18th.

The artwork is all newly drawn (by me!). There's 2 extra inks colors now (from 7 to 9 colors). The logo is big and on the front, 11" x 12.5", with the name in white on the back across the shoulders. Classic Black and Silver Sage for the grown ups. There will also be a VERY small quantity of a test shirt color, Walnut Brown. And, they raised the prices :(

Adult S-XL will now be $39.95
XXL is $44.95
XXXL is $47.95
We have the Black and Sage in adult sizes S-XXXL

The Walnut Brown is in S-XL. I'll have to sort that one out on dibs called here so we don't oversell the sample run.

Good news for the Alembic Club: 25% discount on T-shirts ordered by 7-17 using coupon code BIGT-25

New children's shirts coming too: a mini-me version of the black: I'll get those posted in the store shortly. The high visibility orange will have to be dibs on this thread as I got a small quantity of those shirts.

Post by: David Houck on July 11, 2016, 08:30:25 PM: When you wear an Alembic shirt, people tend to notice it; and you'll probably be asked what it means. So it can be helpful to brush up on the symbolism of the logo. People will appreciate your sharing it with them.

The meaning of the logo can be found here: http://alembic.com/info/logomeaning.html (http://alembic.com/info/logomeaning.html)

Enjoy.

Post by: sonicus on July 12, 2016, 07:07:39 AM: David , Yes ! I often get compliments while wearing Alembic Logo shirts " I like that shirt " .One time it was a fellow who was in the shirt printing business . I then tell them , it is the company logo of the manufacturer of the Bass's that I love to play .Hand made in California I then add and check them out on the Web ! If that individual has a handheld device with them the next thing I see is a smile and then , " WOW ! :) " ______ All that positive energy is awesome to feel !

I just love that smile and the " WOW " !

Post by: japhy4529 on July 13, 2016, 05:49:12 AM: Mica,

I tried to select a black Alembic T-shirt (adult M) from the link you provided and while I was able to select a size, I couldn't find a button to add it to the cart! That said, I'm still working on my first coffee, so the problem could be between the keyboard and the chair. ;)

Thanks,
Tom
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 13, 2016, 09:05:22 AM: Just fixed that, Tom - thanks for letting me know about that issue!

Edwin, what size do you want?

Nice....

I'll get a coco bolo, too, but until that's available I'lll do just fine with a black one.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 13, 2016, 04:04:43 PM: Silly question... (serves me right for an earlier silly post) but how/when/where do you plug in the coupon code?

Put me down for a XXL Silver Sage... but I was tempted to suck it in an go for an XL Walnut. ;)
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 13, 2016, 04:54:57 PM: When you're checking out, there's a place to add the coupon code on the payment screen, which is the same one with the billing information. I'll make sure we tuck one away for you, Greg.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: LMiwa on July 14, 2016, 01:23:42 AM: Mica, I tried ordering a Silver Sage in size L (using PayPal if it makes a difference), but when I entered the coupon code, I got the following message:
"Coupon code bigt-25 only applies to certain store items. None of these items are in your shopping basket."
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: lidon2001 on July 14, 2016, 07:23:50 AM: Hello Mica,

Is a walnut XL still available? If so I would like one. Thank you, Tom
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 14, 2016, 11:01:50 AM: Loch, the coupon code looks like it's fixed now. Sorry about that. If you have trouble applying it, just write a note in the comment area and we'll fix it manually. I've already done that on yesterday's orders.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 14, 2016, 11:11:28 AM: Tom, I'll hold a Walnut XL aside for you, and that might be it for the XL in that color. It depends what they have ready for me this afternoon when I pick up.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: el8ed on July 14, 2016, 01:54:11 PM: Thank you Mica, for only charging me the coupon-reduced amount - what a nice surprise!
Silver Sage for me :)
Cheers, Oliver

Post by: echo008 on July 17, 2016, 11:31:19 AM: Hello, I didnt want to start a new thread over this.... but will hats be available again soon? I have worn out the two hats I bought a few years ago. Actually I just lost the second one I bought on the train and Im bummed.
Thanks
- Tom
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: rv_bass on July 17, 2016, 12:19:20 PM: I'm with Tom on the hats. If they are in the works I would order two at least! :)

Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mavnet on July 17, 2016, 01:28:24 PM: ditto on hats. I'd definitely take a few.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 17, 2016, 01:34:55 PM: Piling on... +1 more for hats. ;)
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: sonicus on July 17, 2016, 02:03:07 PM: A " Wizard Hat" with just the logo and no writing would be interesting . Yes , I would wear it at a gig or a festival ! :)

Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: paulman on July 18, 2016, 06:08:50 AM: Yay shirts! I've always wanted a Silver Sage, and just ordered one.

I'll second the hats!

I wore my brown Alembic Polo to the July 3rd 2016 Fare The Well Show in Chicago, had to "represent" for Phil's Bass :) Ran into a guy I know from Bag End too, he fondly remembered the '09 gathering and us thumping the Bassault!

Anyway, thanks for the Alembic wear Mica!

Post by: lidon2001 on July 18, 2016, 03:42:48 PM: Hi Mica,

I placed my order as a guest after your reply, but my PayPal account shows no payment made. Did my order go through? If it did not go through, I will place another.

Thank you, Tom
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 18, 2016, 04:54:10 PM: Whew! All the orders that were placed in the pre-order stage are GONE - flying away in various directions on UPS and USPS trucks. I think we got the email addresses in all the notification boxes, so if you placed an order, you should see something in your inbox today, and something in your mailbox in a few days ;)
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 18, 2016, 05:01:30 PM: Already got my shipping notification Mica, Thanks!

I got a little winded there for a second when this email tells me Alembic just shipped me a package. Nah... wait a sec... couldn't be *that* package. :o (we need an emoticon for hyperventilating) ;D
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 18, 2016, 10:19:30 PM: Here's the real thing! I'm so very happy with how these shirts turned out. The artwork is super clean and clear, and the local printer that did the work is top notch. I'll change the picture in the online store when I get the rest of the photos prepped.

Let me know when you get yours!
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: smokin_dave on July 19, 2016, 04:50:41 AM: Darn it.I've been busy with work and missed the coupon code deadline but sela.I ordered one anyway.These new shirts look GREAT.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 20, 2016, 03:05:52 PM: Silver Sage photo done!

PSA: Black 2X is now *VERY* limited quantity.

Much more merch coming up. I've got the guys working on the embroidery files for hats, but that will probably be a couple of months out. Other cool stuff too.

Post a picture modeling your shirt when you get it! Spread the L :-* VE
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: keith_h on July 20, 2016, 06:02:37 PM: Any embroidered logo denim shirts in the works? I could use another as my current one is getting a bit thin.
Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: mica on July 20, 2016, 07:16:55 PM: Hats are the first embroidered item in the works. I can't plan for embroidered shirts until I'm happy with the embroidery itself. Then we'll stitch up all sorts of things.

Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: paulman on July 21, 2016, 07:49:16 AM: That means the Embroidery will be of the quality we'd expect!! Thanks Mica can't wait.

Has any though been given to a different style (or styles) of hats besides Baseball caps? Boonie hats come to mind for some reason. Those are great because you can roll them up and stick them in your pocket...or instrument case http://club.alembic.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif

Just sayin'! If a baseball cap is offered, that's what I'll get no questions asked!

Thanks for all the work on this.

+1 on the boonie hats. I don't have much need for a baseball style cap, but would probably order multiple boonie hats.

Title: Re: Big Logo Shirts on the Horizon
Post by: edwardofhuncote on August 16, 2016, 03:06:15 AM: I saved my new Alembic shirt for a special night... this is our band New River Bound, taken backstage right before our final round of competition on Saturday night at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax, Virginia. We finished 8th out of 85 bands, and we're quite tickled with another top-ten finish.

*incidentally, that's my Dad's birdseye maple Kay bass... they don't allow any of them 'lektric basses' in the park. I thought about sneaking my Distillate and a practice amp in, but the thought of having to defend it from possible confiscation gave me pause. Absence makes the heart fonder, so I left the Alembics at home and went unplugged last week. ;D

Post by: growlypants on August 16, 2016, 06:38:29 AM: Congrats on placing so well in the competition! And, yea - very nice shirt!!
