Turnaround on caps and t-shirts is usually about a month so p2 is a good shout here :+1:

ghost commented 7 years ago

@iteles what merchandise suppliers have you used previously for tshirts and other dwyl merch etc?

@markwilliamfirth We've used Firelabel as they're the only ones who carried the Bella + Canvas tees and I've also used A&M Clothing as they also carry lots of eco-friendly ranges.

There is a universal colour chart for embroidery http://www.amannusa.com/isacord_chart.html

5210 appears to be the closest to dwyl turquoise

Looking at the threads 5220 / 5230 appear to be closer

@markwilliamfirth Currently our t-shirts have white logos because we felt they stood out better on the t-shirts than the blue would (and the idea being brand recognition anyway, it seemed sensible). If we find it's better to do this for caps, that will also work 👍

Things up for discussion:

iteles commented 7 years ago

Do we want snapbacks or baseball caps or uni baseball caps or panel sandwich caps?

I have no idea what any of this means...

A lot of this is personal preference... I feel turquoise caps might be a bit too garrish so I'd have to see them... I think I've always envisioned these as navy (or dark colours people would wear) with a white heart on the front and dwyl.com on the back. But open to people's preferences as I don't wear caps that much.

ghost commented 7 years ago

I didn't realise there were so many different types of cap until getting quotes for this stuff.

The main consideration with regards to cap design is flat brims vs curved brims.

With regards to the dwyl.com on the back, firstly this would require two passes through the machine, so would likely significantly increase the price of the caps. Secondly do we need the .com? when people search dwyl we're already top of google

Just a reflex, happy with dwyl

We should order these around April '18 time for next dwyl summer since we missed the boat this year
