There are now some ezFolk T-shirts available. These were done through the Zazzle website and can be customized (different colors, sizes, materials, etc.). Your purchase of a T-shirt will help support ezFolk in a couple of ways: (1) we get a cut of the purchase price, and (2) you're advertising and spreading the word about ezFolk!

There are several different designs. Most include the ezFolk logo but some don't have logos on them if you'd prefer them that way.

I'll be adding some more designs. If anybody's got any great ideas that I can use let me know. I'm kind of artistically challenged and I'm the whole art department here!

Click here to see what's available.

Thanks for taking a look!

Cool Richard, I made my purchase (the "hear me play at ezFolk" t-shirt).  Can't wait to receive it.  I have my own merchandise available at CafePress.com, I'm curious to see if the quality is better at Zazzle.  CafePress is pretty suspect and Zazzle has a more to choose from.  If I'm satisfied with Zazzle I may make the switch over myself.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for buying the shirt! I tried CafePress myself a while back and didn't like the quality of the shirts but heard Zazzle was better quality and that's why I switched.

Nice to see you back here. Haven't seen you around for a while! Hope you'll hang around some!

Hey Richard,

Been down for several months with carpal tunnel, but I'm all better now.  I'm starting to get out live again, had my tunes remixed and mastered and I'm raring to go!  It's good to be back!

I'm looking forward to the shirt, I suspect it will be better then what's offered at CafePress. 

Mike

Hiya Richard, as soon as i get my first pay-check from the paper-route, first purchase will be a "hear me play at ezFolk" t-shirt" They look really nice and the Mugs too. I will advertise EZFolk in my new paper-boy capacity to the little old ladies, who knows maybe i get TIPS too :bow:

Thanks,

JamC :rock:

I just ordered the shirt with instruments on the front. They look great. I am doing Cafe Press right now, but the last shirts I got stunk, to be frank. The image was too low on the shirt. Also there is not the choice of colors that Zazzle had. Guess I might switch over, too.

Thanks again for the great site!

James... Don't blow all your profits on a T-shirt unless you're really sure some of the ladies on your route will like it. Hope your paper route works out better than mine did... of course mine was in 1963.

Gary... thanks for ordering the T-shirt. Don't pull the plug on CafePress yet until we see what these look like. I ordered 3 different ones to get an idea about the quality (and to advertise :cool:) but I haven't received them yet. Ya never know about these things. I'll give an honest assessment after I receive mine and I hope you folks who ordered will also.

:thumbs2:

I got my shirt today.  The quality of the shirt seems to be the same as CafePress to be honest, including the way they apply the design (some kind of heat press?  Definitely not a silkscreen, it almost seems like it was printed on an inkjet printer or something).  I have to say it's hard to tell, because the shirt I got from CafePress had a picture applied (the silouette logo I have) and the ezFolk shirt I ordered (the "hear me play at ezFolk.com") was more of a simpler graphic design.  

It's really pretty decent, I think the thing Zazzle has going is variety, that alone may be a reason to try it out myself and give it a test run.  I need to order a black ezFolk t-shirt (because I like to wear black shirts when I perform) so I will be getting one of those, and I'll create my own store and order one with my logo (the eyeball like my avatar) and report back on the quality.

Hey Mike... Sorry about the sucky quality of the T-shirt! I appreciate the honest assessment. I might just pull the plug on the whole thing but I'll wait and see how mine end up. One of the shirts I ordered was the "high quality" T-shirt, which was a couple bucks more, so I'll see how that turns out.

It was a couple years ago when I tried CafePress and at that time the only thing I ordered was a hat, and it ended up being so pathetic that I just gave up on the whole thing.

:(

Richard: I just ordered my EZFolk tee shirt, light blue with logo on front. I wasn't clear on what size I should order but took a chance and on an Adult size Medium. It being a unisex shirt, I will have to take a chance on how large it is for a female. Will let you know how it looks and fits. Billie

Richard, I wouldn't say the quality was "sucky", really for what they offer, logo'd t-shirts with minimal up-front money from us, it's pretty good.  The hat is what really turns me off about CafePress too, as well as the cheap quality of items like clocks and calendars, but I have to say the t-shirts are ok and the coffee mugs are pretty good.  I think in order to do a quick turnaround with the flexibility of offering custom designs, this technology is the way they have to do it.

Hey Billie... Thanks for getting the T-shirt. Hope the quality is okay. Maybe if these work out we'll do a Cukes shirt!!

Mike... that makes sense that they're using the only technology they have for such a quick turnaround. We'll see what happens. My order was sent out on Thursday so I'll probably get it tomorrow.

:hat:

Hey... I got the T-shirts I ordered today and I'm generally very pleased with them. The quality is better than I expected. I ordered a ladies casual scoop neck shirt for my wife. I bought a large because I thought they might run small (they don't -- I'm in the doghouse at the moment over that).

For myself I ordered a basic T-shirt and a premium T-shirt to see the difference in the quality. I actually like the basic better than the premium. The basic is a Hanes "Beefy-T" which is better than I hoped for. The premium T-shirt is a Hanes "Soft L'ink" whatever that is. It's good but I like the basic just as much and there are more colors to choose from.

:thumbs1:

Richard - just remember the axiom we grew up with (and tell her): You can't go wrong buying your girlfriend (wife) a sweater as a gift. If it's too large, she should be flattered. . .if it's too small, she'll wear it anyway!

I like the Hanes Beefy-T's - the sizes are consistant and proper. When the pension comes I'll get mine ordered!

I received my E-Z Folk tee shirt today. Quick turn around. It looks good and I ordered the right size ( medium unisex) and it fits me ok except for being a bit long. That's fine for I'm a short woman. Will wear it to the next CUKES meeting. Billie

Billie... glad the T-shirt was okay! I'll look forward to seeing it at the next CUKES, which hopefully won't be too long from now.

I got my shirt today and am happy with it. I may have bought it too big, but I think it will be okay. I look forward to wearing it!

I ordered my pocket shirt last thursday and it arrived today, good shirt and fit good if it does not shrink when washed.

I took my picture in it today and tried to put it on, but it will not fit the format, Does any one know how to shrink the size of the picture for the avartor

Charlie
