Since there doesn't seem to be a good place to post about new letterboxing patches, T-shirts, and other merchandise, I've created a board just for those announcements, questions, and discussions related to them. Happy trails! =)

Great idea! This will really really help all of us event planners. Thanks, Ryan!

Thank you, Ryan, that's perfect!
Happy Boxers 'R' Us :)

I will be placing our first order for PNW Letterboxing T-shirts hopefully within the next week. They will be Gildan 6.1 oz long-sleeve in colors forest green, maroon, or royal blue. You can view the blank shirts and colors on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/sta6244-GILDAN-Cotton-Sleeve-5X-Large/dp/B000FVJYGA/sr=1-2/qid=1163966616/ref=sr_1_2/102-0861345-6482517?ie=UTF8&s=apparel
(I know, that's a huge address.)

The front will have a pocket-sized rain-drop-shaped logo with Lb PNW in it and the back will have the logo "Not all who wander are lost... some of us are letterboxing". After some discussion on the Oregon list and the Yahoo PNW Letterboxing list these seemed to be the preferred designs.

I should have the shirts in plenty of time to ship for holidays. And, yes, you are allowed to buy one for yourself, put it under the tree and say it is from Santa :)

The cost is going to be 13.67/ea (sizes S-XL) plus 3.00 for shipping in the U.S. The 2XL shirts are a dollar more. At this point, I'm taking pre-orders in colors and sizes. This is not a commitment to buy, but it will give me a general idea of how many, what sizes, and what colors to order. So if you are pretty sure you will want one, send me a note including your size, color choice, or any questions.

Post a web site where we in Texas could buy some patches or things of that nature.

TIA, Kim aka purpleintexKim

Wow! Ryan, you are way too responsive to problems. How do you do that so fast? I can't get my IT guy at work to even acknowledge there's a problem for days. You fix stuff immediately. Awesome.

I'm pretty sure I can also get 3XLs. Not yet sure about child sizes - I'll let you know in a couple of days.

When the shirts come in, I will set them up on my company website and you can order and pay there. So don't worry about checks and stuff now. Thanks!

-Murray7

Kim, there's AQ stuff under "Marketplace" (I'm sure you've found it!!) and you can get the LBNA patch by clicking on the pic of the patch on the letterboxing.org home page. There's more letterboxing stuff - I think at letterboxing.info - yep, just checked, look at the menu on the left.

For Texas specific stuff - sorry, I don't know, but I'm sure there's a regional board on yahoo?

Mama Fox

Thanks so much

We can get Adult Sizes S-3XL. The S-XL sizes are 13.67 and the 2XL-3XL are 14.67. Adult shirts are available in forest green, royal blue and maroon.

We can also get youth shirts in sizes S,M,L for 13.67 in the colors royal blue or maroon (no forest green - sorry).

We will order a few extra shirts, but please let me know if you think you want one (or more) so I can have the right sizes and colors for you. Thanks!

Hi Murray,
Hey, we definitely want shirts but don't know what color to order until we know what the logo colors are. Can you tell me what color is planned for the text and the PNWLb logo?
Somehow I missed the final decision on that.
Thanks - this is great fun!

You'll be happy to hear that Sluggo will be making an appearance on the back of the shirt! Many, many thanks to Funhog and Wildhair for all of their help with the artwork.

perfect timing. I was just getting very frustrated with myself in not being able to keep track.
Now...just waiting to hear more about those LBPNW shirts.

Thank you Ryan.
Now trying to figure out 'who' tyrarachele is???

The patches are available from Red.

Thanks!

If you have pre-ordered a Letterboxing Pacific Northwest t-shirt, you can finally order it!!! Please go to the following website for all the photos and information: http://www.rosaryshop.com/letterbox.php

I apologize for being so late with these and hope they can still reach you in time for Christmas. I've been in the hospital for the past two days and I'm still a little dazed. Everything is just fine (routine gall-bladder removal) but it will take a few days until I'm back to normal.

If you have not pre-ordered a shirt, but would like to order one, there are a few extras. But please give the pre-orderers a few days to pick up their requests first.

Thanks so much and have a blessed holiday!

The last of the PNW patches slid out the door a little while ago and a new batch is due to slither in next week. If you want to make one of these babies your very own, go to: http://letterboxpatches.blogspot.com/
to find the details on how to order. Be the first kid on your block to make Sluggo your own personal pal.

only the sase. it wont take more that one stamp to send the order.

I'm pretty sure one stamp is enough postage for four patches.

Yippee, we got our shirts. They are beautiful!!!!!!!
AlaskaHSM if I am PNW you most certainly are too.

So glad to hear they arrived!

If anyone else needs PNW shirts, AQ-mail me. I still have quite a few that need good homes. If all goes as planned I'll bring them to the Spring Flinger too.

Hope you like 'em!

Those are way cool! I wish I was in the PNW! Is the slogan on the back trademarked?! Can we Hoosiers have one made with the Great Lakes on front and the slogan on back?

The slogan is a variation on Tolkien, and of course we are willing to share. That's what letterboxers are all about! Sluggo is kinda the PNW mascot. If you do design a Great Lakes version, we will want to see pictures. Have fun!

And IF I had read the text just to the left of the photos, I would have known that! ;-) Not to mention, I adore Tolkien and have read LOTR and seen the movies (more than a few *cough* dozen *cough* times)...momentary loss of reason, temporary insanity? Who knows. It's been a long day.

Anyhow, thank you for sharing the info and photos with the rest of the country. I'm gonna see what we can do about gettin' us some perty shirts like that!

I'll bring them to the Spring Flinger too.</qutote>

Do we know when and where that will be? This will be my first year so I would really like to be there if possible.

Mystic Dreamer

It's listed on the event page. It's in Chehalis, WA.

Maiden

hmm should this be the board that these should be on?
I know I saw them mentioned somewhere...
