Personally, I would never buy any cheap stuff. Why would I when I can get everything I need at Wal-mart.

I make my own bread, pasta and ice cream because I don't trust the cheap chemicals they use for preserving and enhancing the flavor of food.

I got a sewing machine but it is not as easy to learn to use as the cooking tools.

Recently I cracked the code for homemade honey nut cheerios. Take regular cheerios and mix it with a stick of butter and some brown sugar and water, be sure to melt the liquids together, then bake it in the oven at a low temp till crusted with sweet goodness. Works with rice krispies too.

I have three versions of this shirt. The newest black version is awesome. Really love all the stuff from Nathan and Dave. Would highly recommend buying from them.

Since you obviously like to cook, you are wasting you'r sewing machine. Here's what you do. Take the needle out of the sewing machine, then slip a bowl under that little foot-looking gizmo that held the needle. Now bust open a couple of eggs into the bowl and turn the machine on for 30 seconds. That's all it takes, and you will have the fuffiest scrambled eggs you have ever seen.
 
Oh I totally agree with you there.......Thats why I buy TAR shirts....and will buy some OTR shirts

Oh and Nathan...just so you know...I have seen your website and I really like it....Id gladly buy on of your shirts..Good Luck!

Now that everyones balls are nice and toasty warm, where are you off to next in your new air plane?

Hey Shawn, just thought I'd let you know. That cue that you sent me. I mad e shaft for it, the butt buzzes probably louder than your airpane, but you probably knew that when you sent it, right?

Just kidding, I still love ya.

Print a shirt, and then sell it 67% off to your distributors, and see how much money you make. Unless you get your shirts printed in china, you'll be lucky to make $1.

Only sales made on my website result in me earning a few bucks. Any other retailer sells my stuff and I make almost nothing.

If you guys knew how little money I make doing this stuff, you'd shake your head and wonder why I even do it. Most people realize that I have a fair bit of talent for this sort of stuff, and they all know that I'd be far better off working for someone else in another industry. I just stick to pool because I love it. There is NO money in this, so I appreciate people like Lenny supporting me, and our game.

I was in the t-shirt business years ago. I can confirm everything said here is accurate. Folks, if you don't know what your talking about, you would be better off staying silent.
 
I just bought a shirt from runout and will happily pay $25 for a shirt to support.
I cant believe how nitty people are over something that is priced reasonably cheap. Most companies require a minimum order for custom t-shirts and that is a lot of t-shirts to have to shell out money for and sit on that product, while people nit pick and try and barter down the price.
Most people on here don't bat an eye at spending $25 on lottery tickets or a hand of blackjack. At least when buying a shirt your guaranteed to get something out of your money. IMHO

I agree 100%

Great post and good examples.

I buy lots of different shirts from the various companies from this site including Runout Media, Spot+ Clothing and OTR live pool. Ive been trying to buy TAR shirts for a while with NO success, I have a better chance of winning the US Open then I do at getting Justin to sell me something other than a live stream.

blend eggs with whipped cream and your are in for a treat.

As for the tshirts the higher costs help make the new guys producing cheaper shirts more competitive so somebody gets a piece of the wealthy crowd and somebody gets a piece of the cheap crowd.
 
Thanks for the support guys. We aren't walmart, and our production costs are far higher than one might assume. In either case, I don't see how $20 for a quality shirt is outrageous anyway. I just finished shipping all the backorders, so thankfully I know some people feel the price is justified.

To clarify, our WWED shirt had undergone multiple changes over the past year to ensure they're the highest quality shirt possible. They don't fade, dont shrink, fit awesome, and look like new after extended use.

There are several processes used to make shirts. Most pool shirts are done using a cheap process known as digital print. It's similar to having a computer print the design with watered down ink. Shurts can be made one at a time as needed, and the ink cracks and fades after a few washes.

Our shirts however are made through high quality screen printing. The ink is thick and durable and will last. The process is more expensive, and requires a bulk order. As such, we deal with increased production cost, higher overhead, as well as higher cost to use better quality blank shirts.

We are glad you are using your powers/talents for good (pool) rather than evil. Thank you. We are also glad you hooked up w/TAR to help their live streams become a piece of art, not simply excellent pool in our homes!

If anyone thinks that $20 is too much for a quality Tee, all you have to do is walk into any Harley shop in North America and check Tee prices.
Anyone feel like paying $35 and up. $40 to $50 is not uncommon for a long sleeve. Trust me I know. When I travel, I used to stop and get a Harley Tee from anywhere I went. At those prices I can no longer afford more than a couple per trip, if even that.
 
Just ordered 2 shirts Nate, did not get a chance to stop by the booth in Vegas but appreciate all your doing for the game and also your fine work that you and Dave did with TAR. :wink:

Hey brother. I had no idea that the butt rang...if you want, I will take it back and pay you whatever it was you paid for it...wont be a problem at all.

I have been flying alot since i bought the airplane. We have flown to Dallas, Denver, Memphis, Hot Springs, OKC, and a bunch of other small airports. Having a blast flying. We are planning on flying to Columbus Georgia here in the next few months to go back to Ft Benning to see some Army buddies...if your ever this way, let me know and I will be more than happy to take you on an aerial tour of North Eastern Oklahoma.....Hope your well my friend and let me know what you wanna do about the butt...I will even pay you what you paid fr it and you can keep that ringing bastard cause I wouldnt want it knowing that :thumbup:
 
I was just teasin ya. For what I paid for it and for what I sold it for after I built a shaft, I don't care.
I took it out one night before I gave it to the guy who wanted it and it shot like a bear. I was actually hoping that he would change his mind, it played that well. It was a segmented cue and I doubt that it was made with a one piece core. So, most likely, the construction. At the one speed, you could hear it buzz or if you tapped it with your palm, it would. Nothing that I was worried about, and the guy who got it liked it much.

Did you get your license or just doing solos yet?
You're going to have lots of cross countries in, in no time.
Fly safe.
Hey, whats that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?
If you happen to see any mountain goats in the clouds, I would do a really hard nose up attitude really quick.

I'm envious. I busted my leg in a Motor Drome accident and had to spend the rest of my flying money on living expense while my leg was in a cast. Never got back into it.

Got my lic..so I am a full fledged pilot. And, I am actually looking at buying a different airplane. I am going this weekend to look at a 1967 Piper Cherokee 6/260 that has 3250hrs on the airframe, and 364hrs SMOH. The guy is asking $119,500.00 for it and if I like it like I think I will, I am gonna buy it. And you can buy my Cherokee Arrow :grin:
