I wasn't sure where or which of the topics to post this under so I'll start here. Maybe the ADMIN string?? but again I'll put something here to see if there is interest first -

I've noticed many times boaters we've met have their boat names imprinted on hats, shirts, jackets etc, embroidered sometimes as well and I'm wondering if its possible to get the IBNW logo with boat/our names on sweatshirts or hoodies? (Or don't these new type transfers adhere well on the fabrics?) I'd buy a couple if they are - be nice for boating or other outdoor occasions. Or do you all go to the imprint shops with a photo in hand?

We used to have a screenprint biz years ago so I understand quantity limitations which might be the conclusion to this topic. Just an idea and I'm curious...

First of all, let me start off by qualifying that the items in the IBoatNW store that you see are all made with the equipment I have here.

If you'd like to invest in the equipment (I know both Meliss and Lea have embroidery machines) I'd be willing to place them on my storefront. I'd prefer anyone wanting to pursue that contact me directly about these sort of arrangements.

The burgees are a good example of this. I don't mind carrying them, but between IBNW and BOC, it's a $1000 upfront cost for the order and it takes a considerable time before there's a break even.

I have some ideas once the idea of a Club is fleshed out, but unless you're offering directly, I'm a bit busy right now to worry about it.
