I could. It would take me awhile to get an order through and get one. You're actually the first one that has voiced an interest in them after I found out that I could do them, so I haven't gotten any yet. I already have to get more film from the same company that I get the mousepads, koozies, and coasters from, so getting an order of koozies from them is no big deal at all.

Alright, I tried to order some koozies to do a demo, but my supplier has them on backorder for 45 days. I ordered everything early this morning and they actually sent me an email about that an hour later, but I only got it this afternoon. I will be getting those in, they will just be a good bit later.
I will still post a demo of those for y'all when I get those in. The coasters, however, did just ship and accordering to the FedEx tracking email, they should be here Thursday. So I should have those pictured for you shortly there after.

Evan, how do you see this working?
Do individuals order from you, or do you need a bulk order?
If bulk orders only, what are your minimum qtys per item?
Are you ready to set prices?
Are you ready to take orders?
We tried to offer shirts and caps before, and there didn't seem to be enough interest and it didn't go anywhere. Distributing a bulk order is something of a problem too, because we don't get together very often and even when we do participation is spotty. I hope you don't spend too much on samples, and then the whole thing peter out. Personally I don't need to see any more photos of specific items.
I would order a shirt today if you were taking individual orders.
Paypal works great for this kind of thing.

If there are two people that live together and want their orders shipped to one and split what would probably be a slightly cheaper cost, that's fine as well. I'll just get total payment from one and then the rest can be split between those two parties.
I'm flexible with this.
It's not bulk in that sense. I don't need X amount of Y item. If most people are around 2XL(which in the other groups I have done, they tend to be) I can get by with 16 shirts and I'll get a good price and I'm going to quote y'all based on getting atleast that many.
Now, I can do other sizes as well. I even had an order for a 3T one in the TX group.
Prices I can set.
Once I get a sample coaster for each of the logo then I'll be able to take orders. I just want to make sure that there is a picture so people can see what everything should look like and have an idea of what to expect.

I'm taking individual orders, but when I go to order my shirts, I want to order all at one time. That's the only "bulk" ordering that I(we) would have to deal with. If you want a 2XL, 2 want Ls, and another one wants an XL, that's fine, I just want to be able to order all those shirts at one time. I don't have to order so many of one size, it's more of a bottomline dollar amount that's spent.
Paypal is exactly what I like to use and have been using for this.

I'll put you down for 2 shirts(XL). I just started the ordering thread the other day, so you aren't late at all. Is there anyway you could atleast shoot me your zip either in here or in PM, doesn't matter. Right now I'm just gathering who wants what. I'm leaving that thread "open" til the end of the month and then I will get everything and start making them.
As to the hats. I do have the ability to embroider hats, but the main logo that y'all have is just too "complex" for a 3x5 embroidery pattern. If I had the ability to heat transfer it on to hats that would be something different, but all I would be able to do is embroider it on hats and the design is just too "complex" for that.

Might I suggest some type of border, or a different tee shirt color?
This it the design for our Charity Event this weekend. The Tee shirt color sets off the image & implies a border, as well as the color line borders. You could go w/ a dark brown line border to add definition, w/o having to get into another color.
