limited edition t-shirts are go
(your basic t-shirt design– approx 10″ across)
(each comes with the gapingvoid label in the collar)
[ORDER HERE:] The t-shirts are back from the printers and ready to go.
I’ll be adding more photos etc in the next day or two, but the pics above give you the basic idea.
Only one little snag– we had a bit of trouble with the CFA design. The printer thought because of its potty-mouth language there’d be some legal issues etc. So we had to do some wrangling. A minor issue that soon resolved itself, but as a result there was a production delay of 24 hours. So the CFA shirts won’t be shipped till tomorrow. But for those of you who have pre-ordered, the other 3 designs are already in the mail.
Like I said before, each design is a limited edition of 200. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. These t-shirts are not print-on-demand. They are high-quality printed shirts that already exist, with their own gapingvoid label.
Once we’ve got your order, they’re basically in the mail within 48 hours. No messing around.
I hope you like them.
How come the CFA blogcard has vanished?
It’s still there:

Huh, I looked last week to order some more, and it had vanished! It had been replaced by the his lies/her drinking, and now it’s reappeared at the end.
That, or I’m going mad.
I can’t wait til mine arrives. A perfect opportunity to finally get a flickr-account and set up the gapingvoidtshirt tag.
37.50 for a limited edition tshirt. Is this an example of long-tail marketing? As well as limited edition drives price?
No tshirt is worth 37.50 to me. I’m sure someone will comment on my cheapness so I’ve tried to steal their thunder by calling myself as such: I’m cheap. No offense – I love your work, but clothes are so transient and temporary and I’m so cheap, I’ve difficulty “investing” 37 dollars into a tshirt that I could only wear on a saturday morning at home anyway. I can’t wear it to work due to dress codes, and I’d feel bad sleeping in it. Grrr.
Damn their dress code. Damn my cheapness. Nice shirts though. Sorry.
I agree with anonymous. The price is just too high. Sorry.
Sorry, but like I said before, British prices + weak American Dollar = Bad combo.
Isn’t the next logical step to use the cartoons on wine labels?
I predict it’ll show up on Flickr within a year: somebody drinking Hugh-wine in front of a framed Hugh-print while wearing a Hugh-shirt and drawing on the back of a Hugh-blogcard.
gapingvoid wine labels have actually been discussed. Too niche, methinks.
And the US liquor regulations and distribution laws don’t make it easier, either.
People, $37 for a limited edition original gapingvoid.com t-shirt (with gapingvoid neck label) is a steal.
“some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing”. brendan behan said that, i think.
Nobody got back to me about what size I needed. Does that mean mine isn’t on its way, or have I been sent a random size?
Send an e-mail to gapingvoid@indigotshirts.com for any enquiries.
Depends if you specified what size you are or not.
If you specified the size, then chances are it was seen by the printer (who reads this blog) and he would have dealt with it.
If that didn’t happen and you received the wrong size, let me know via e-mail and I’ll deal with it personally.
UPDATE: Mark, I understand everyone who ordered a shirt before the size option was put on the website was sent an e-mail asking for size clarification.
Did you not receive yours?
I am afraid that I did not. I’ve sent an email to gapingvoid@indigotshirts.com address with my details. No response as yet. I’ll check my spam trap.
… and there it was.
Thanks, Hugh.
Today’s Wall Street Journal has a front page piece about how selling T-shirts over the web is big business.
