Anyone washed one yet? Did it shrink?


I'll let you know tomorrow , just got bbq sauce on it . I bought an x large , I'm not a big guy and it fits perfect now so I don't plan on using the drier after I wash it , it's going on the close line .


Yeah, I've lost some weight lately and have a large. It fits like some other "L" shirts I have that hang just a little off my shoulders but are tight around the middle if I put on any weight. I hope they don't shrink. I guess I am an in between size (an irregular), XL fits my shoulders like a poncho and an L fits better but can run tight around the middle. I just wish I knew why I'm losing weight. If they make more I'll get an XL, then I'll have my bases covered!
Thanks!

Don't forgot to report it if there are any problems with steps to repro ;)

I totally slept at the switch on this one.  I wanted a couple of the t-shirts, but went to the store and several sizes had sold out.  Oh well.  Have to wait for another time I guess.  If more were made available I would get them.

Would love to get a T but sadly the shipping to Australia is prohibitive. Can't understand why the local distributor doesn't support Cakewalk with promo gear.

I am satisfied with the tee shirts.  I have washed them both, black and white, and neither did the shrink thing.  They are very soft cotton and feel great. 
 
Let's get the coffee mugs out.

If Cakewalk is planning further excursions into merchandising opportunities, it would appear that high shipping charges will ensure that the only viable market will be the USA.
 
For potential overseas customers, why not implement a type of 'group buy' system where customers could purchase the items in advance before a stipulated cut-off date. Then they need only ship one consignment to a local distributor in each overseas country or region, and from there deliveries can be made to customers using local carriers and postal networks.
 
State a minimum number of qualifying orders needed to make any one particular order viable, and then accept orders and take payment based on the maximum amount that would be payable based on that minimum order. That way, purchasers know in advance the maximum they would have to pay to receive their item/s.
 
Running it as a type of group-buy purchase would mean the price should progressively decrease as more customers come on board to share the main shipping costs from the US between them.
 
I'm sure there is some money to be made here for Cakewalk, just look at how other companies benefit from merchandise sales. Plus, as others have mentioned, and even if they actually make very little money out of the venture, the appeal of the 'free' advertising factor should not be discounted.

Well, the shipping charges don't HAVE to be that high, plus Andrew hasn't bothered answering the thread...

On the Harrison Mixbus merchandise page, they will ship a hooded sweatshirt (much more bulky and heavier than a T-shirt) to the UK for $7.50/£4.42 (International Standard Delivery).
 

 
At around that much more realistic price for delivery, I would have happily done my bit and purchased a Cakewalk T-shirt.
 
Come on guys, at least give us a clue as to why it appears you want to actually make money out of the delivery charge, as well as on the T-shirts.

It's not Cakewalk(entirely), it's Fedex. The shirts are being shipped using a relatively spendy higher priority rate.
Perhaps appropriate for a document or part that someone needs yesterday, but not so much for a t-shirt.
Cakewalk users are a global community. Is there anything we can do to help our overseas friends out?

Its not just our non-US friends and the price.  The price of the shirt plus shipping in the US scared me away.
