At the risk of getting off-topic (!), my father-in-law runs a screenprinting business that uses only North Carolina ("local" but I know he's gone into western NC for the fabric) products. There is a clear difference between how his extras hold up versus the shirts my kids get at Target. In fact, I don't think any of his have gotten torn up or faded significantly; mostly they wind up at the thrift store still looking decent. The purchased ones have mostly worn off the print, gotten off-color and stretched out, then torn up completely. Interestingly I tend to put the kids in his t-shirts when they have to do something messy or that is otherwise likely to tear their clothes up, but I really can't think of one that has ended up scrap for non-paint reasons. I know his shirts are a lot more expensive, and I don't really wear t-shirts myself, but I was surprised at how much better they are even if they cost, say, 50% more per shirt. That said, I am not likely to buy a $30 hat I can't even wear inside! :) Best, Tim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
