2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 NEW! Shelby Mechanic's Shirts! Big sizes available too! http://www.shelbysto...oductCode=SWS-1 Are they dark blue or black? I sure do wish they were the light blue style. They'd make a good "Team Uniform" shirt for racing/show events but the sun out here in CO would kill me in dark colors. I couldn't tell by the small pics but I see they are button-up (not button-up collar). Any plans for light blue? I wore the dark blue in the field but the light blue when I started teaching.

Jer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 These are for working on your car and getting dirty. Not for shows. We've got PLENTY of other shirts for that. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Yeah, both of my BLUE ones (light AND dark blue) were for working on cars too. They were my uniform shirts, bought by me and maintained by Mission Linen Supply in Monterey CA.

Doug_GT350 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I guess I'm just cheap. I wouldn't pay $40.00 for a dress shirt much less for a shirt to work on my car. I have plenty of old tee shirts for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, this is a Shelby Performance PARTS shirt, so the "work shirt" fit that approach and vibe. You don't HAVE to work on your car, no obligation there <grin>. Phill, I understand what you're saying about colors, our Production department wears lighter striped ones. This is something we haven't done before, and I like to offer new things... we just start with a few and ramp up if there's interest. I'll make more colors if the product develops. Just testing the waters, as they say. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of old tee shirts for that! You guys must think I'm an idiot then, my average dress shirts costs $80.00. Of course I have to wear a suit and tie every day but it is what it is. Maybe if I spent less money on shirts I could buy more parts for the Shelby from Jer, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the scheme of things, a button-down Shelby shirt for $40 (especially made on a name brand garment) is an excellent price point.

Clothing with cotton in it will get ate up by battery acid (blue jeans are a good example). "True" work clothes are batt. acid resistant. Polyester maybe? (I'll check my work jacket, which I still have). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 This shirt is 60% polyester and 35% cotton I just checked my work jacket, made by Dickies. From the worn label, I can see 65% & 35% cotton. It looks like some long word INCLUDING polyester...Polyfillpolyester<something>, or something like that. I know it's impervious to batt. acid so I'm assuming your work shirts are too. Well, I've never poured electrolyte right on it but the residue from batteries never touched it, or my work shirts/pants (or coveralls).

Jer 40 bucks isn't really all that bad for a decent work shirt, including a logo patch. Actually, that sounds pretty reasonable to me. I probably paid damn near that much for each of mine and I bought 11 of them...5 dirty, 5 clean and 1 to wear between pick up. Mine came with a custom embroidered name tag on it because apparently, the name Phill with 2 L's is not real common. And that was way back in about 1983-85.

lbj Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I clicked on the front and back views and liked what I saw so I will be ordering one.

Its basically iron on....thats what screened logo basically is. Hmmmm....I was wanting a Charcoal one. Not so sure now. I just reread the info on it....missed that the first time!!

lbj Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I sell shirts that have the logos of my indoor football team on them. I'd say that to embroider a logo that size on the back of this shirt would add 10 dollars to the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure now. I just reread the info on it....missed that the first time!! The back logo is screenprinted, looks great, and is durable. Embroidering large back logos makes the shirt stiffer on the shoulder blades, always drives me nuts. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 So the back is not embroidered? Its basically iron on....thats what screened logo basically is. Hmmmm... Silk screen is MUCH different than iron on. I've done a lot of silk screening in my youth and it's much more durable than any iron on patch. Silk screening applies the paint directly to the surface of the material, iron on applies it with hot melt glue. Most tees are silk screened. I have Harley-Davidson tees, NASCAR tees (etc) well over 10-15 years old that still have the print on them. Some of them are crackeled, but still on none the less.

lbj Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I received my shirts today, a black one and a charcoal one. They look great. They were heat sealed in plastic and airtight, maybe watertight, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
