FPN shirts @ cafepress store, No pocket !

[DovR]

I was looking at the products at the fpn cafepress store; some neat shirts and other ephemera with fpn logo.

 

This is a small way to support fpn and also flaunt the hobby while out and about. http://www.cafepress.com/fpnetwork

 

However the shirts (T-shirt, golf shirt, short and long sleeve) are all pocketless and nowhere to keep the pens. That's a problem. Clipping the pen to neckline of the shirt is not really a viable option, pens can become detached. Happened to me.

 

Is there a way that the cafepress people can offer a shirt with pocket for couple of extra bux if necessary.

 

I want to order and some other stuff as well but checking in about the pocket status......

Oh dear,

 

I went on the the CafePress site with a view to buying something. Why not support FPN? I thought. Put something back.

 

But oh dear. I really do not want YET ANOTHER tee shirt, YET ANOTHER fridge magnet, YET ANOTHER coffee mug, or YET ANOTHER mouse mat.

 

Might it not be an idea to offer some pen pouches, pen cases, rocker blotters and things of that sort? Things that we as FP users actually use and would be happy to buy from a source that supported FPN, even if the articles cost us a little more?

 

I support a fair number of organizations in a small way, but I have to say that I'm starting to suffer severe tee-shirt, fridge-magnet, and coffee-mug fatigue.

A journal would be a good idea wouldn't it?

We don't have much control over Cafe Press, and we don't make money from it. (Not with our sales volume) I love my FPN mug, but I often forget that we even have a Cafe Press shop! I was working on making the label of FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown available on products as well, and totally forgot about it!!

 

We can only choose to have our design on the products they list, and sadly they don't offer a t-shirt with pockets!

 

Nor do they offer pen pouches, pen cases, rocker blotters and things of that sort

 

We didn't add the journal or paper products because we don't know how well they work with fountain pens. Perhaps we could test it out?

What a super idea! I'm going to purchase a rocker blotter soon, this would have been perfect. Maybe something to think about for the future.

Yes. Exactly the sort of thing I mean. And decent stationery and envelopes, perhaps with an FPN watermark or small logo. I think there could be a lot more mileage in this than fridge magnets etc..
