I know of a fulfillment house or two in the States that could probably help you when the time comes to flip the switch on distribution over here. Mik: Thanks for the heads up!

Production costs are about triple if not more than in the states. We looked into getting them printed over there but was beaten back in whimpering retreat by the customs charges. We could have found certain ways to make them cheaper, but it's important to for us to keep our shirts ethical. It's early days for us yet, but a future plan is to get some made over in the states purely for U.S. distribution as it really bothers us that some american customers are currently priced out from buying our stuff. Great site by the way, and thanks for the kind words. We tried to make our shirts as cheaply as possible, which, being in the U.K aint easy.

Then again, I bet some of those $10.00 and $15.00 shirts must seem like a steal on that side of the pond. So long as the shipping doesn't kill you, that is... ;) <strong>emmbee:</strong> You've got a good point, chief. Perhaps I'll do just that.

We routinely pay £30 or £35 for a t-shirt in the high street shops, if it's made by a reasonably good brand - say Boxfresh or something - more if it's a proper "designer" brand. And I've never seen anything in a size larger than XL. Just an observation. In the UK £20 is cheap for a t-shirt like this.
