Anyone know a source for something like this? Obviously I'd like one with a Fox logo and/or a Sterlingworth pic. I envision a classy image with an open double draped across the logo, etc. If nobody is making such a shirt, any t-shirt printers out there who'd like to? |

I just figured the more post you got, the sooner someone would offer to make the shirts. |

Hey folks, you can do this yourself!
Let me describe what my wife and I did for my daughter-in-law quite a few years back at Christmas time. My wife did the needlework part and I did the techie stuff. Just apply the approach to your gun logo idea.
My daughter-in-law owns 2 horses - just LOVES her horses. So my wife wanted to make her two throw-around pillows for her couch in their great room. So we took several pictures of her horses, choosing the best picture for each horse. I then went to Staples and got a type of special paper that is used for "iron-on-transfers" of pictures, etc. I forget the name of the paper but the folks at Staples will know what you mean by "iron-on-transfer" sheets.
I inserted the special paper into my HP DeskJet 882C printer and printed an appropriately sized REVERSE IMAGE picture of each horse in turn onto the 2 sheets of paper I had for this purpose. Use the BEST print setting as though you were printing a photo unto photo paper. My wife then placed the reverse-image side if the paper down onto the nice quality cloth panel that she was going to use as one side of the pillow and simply ironed the unprinted side of the paper with a hot iron transferring the rich color of the photo into the material. She then made the pillow using the special panel as one side of the decorative pillow. Turned out great and my daughter-in-law thought we were geniuses (genii?). The colors were rich and durable and it will take washing (cold in a light cycle I believe).
That'll work for you too! Just copy a Fox, or Parker, or L.C. Smith, or Ithaca, or Lefever, or Baker, or Fulton, or Winchester 21, or .... logo from somewhere and print it out to whatever size you wish on a light colored shirt of your choice. If you start mass-producing them, contact me with your name and address so my lawyer can contact you to arrange for my royalty payments for the idea.
Talk to Staples about about "iron-on-transfer" sheets. You'll see how easy it is? |

Ruff,
Thanks for the info. I remember I did somethig similar years ago; just b&w, tho; no color. Having become lazy in my old age I was looking for the easy way out (ie, purchase!) but maybe I'll give it a try.
