no polo's are done with a different kinda weave so they'll never have that same non-course feel like a Tee, if you want a polo that feels like a Ralph Lauren but without the price of a designer name go with either:

055 Steadman by Hanes 100% cotton (90% cotton 10% poly on "light steel")

H960 Hanes StayClean blended Jersey 50/50 (this is ring spun meaning compared to the 055 that is welt knit, this we'll feel slightly better to the touch but is 1oz lighter and only 50% cotton)

I approved the second sew off on Friday with a minor change and will be getting my shirt sewn first. I'll be the ginny pig. I already had a light blue shirt and will get navy thread only. I think Chris has an order from one other person so I guess you guys can go ahead and get started with your orders. I wouldn't wait till the last minute.

PoLaK, thanks for your input.

Can you post a picture of the embroidery when complete?

SilverEIGHT

Are you 'digitizing' the logo by yourself or are you letting chris handle that, I've always let people in Korea do it for me dirt cheep but I'd like to learn, what program do you use if you are infact doing it?

SilverEIGHT

I swapped out the digitizing for scanning in his price list and converting to PDF. Don't get no cheeper than that. I don't know what he is using for software. Guess I could ask him this evening when I drop by.

SilverEIGHT

Software Chris uses is "Tajima" from Pulse. I use Adobe Illustrator for concept. What do you use?

Where the hell have I been, and how did I miss this thread. I will be placing my order today. Don, can I email Chris to submit my order?

SilverEIGHT

trhoads, Yes, you should be able to. You may also want to call just to make contact. Dropping off a shirt will net you a embroidery for only $6 so that's cheep if you have a spare one you want to try it out on. That is what I'm doing. He is sewing mine off today.

Excellent Job Silver!

If I bring some shirts down with me when we go to Barber, as time allows can you drop em off, pick em up and let me settle up with you the next time i'm through there?

SilverEIGHT

Sure, Glad I can help.

Im proficent in Illy, but I choose to use ready ...? COREL! god forbid

SilverEIGHT

Actually, Corel Draw is a great program. I have a friend that uses it and swears by it for his illustrations and he is an awesome artist doing work for the likes of the Olympics, Coke and such. I tried to talk him into using Illustrator but he thinks it's too Mac influenced and he HATES Macs with a passion. Personally, I prefer the Mac and Illustrator is the default app for vector illustration.

i used to have a job where one of the functions required me to use the corel draw...it was awful. this was a few years ago, and it was the current version at the time (9 or 10, can't remember). i guess i'm just too far into the adobe mindset to change now.

look great! Did Chris use backing on the reverse side? Backing keeps the embroidery from puckering after washing a few times.

your friend sounds like me, see this thread for my opinions on Mac, https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...0&page=2&pp=15 post #23

The only thing i find illy is slightly better at is cell coloring/shading and gif bitmaps etc...... For web or plotter ready artwork nothing beats Corel IMHO.

SilverEIGHT

Yea, you can see it in #3 if you look closely. These are just samples though, not sewn on shirts.

great. What size (square) did they turn out to be?

SilverEIGHT

Pretty much what you suggested. I think it is right at 3" wide.
