Just testing the waters here. If I were to get some made, would you be interested in buying one? I'd like to have one myself but as you know, the more you order, the better the deal. However, I don't want to end up with a bedroom full of boxes again, waiting for people to send in orders.

Meh, it's whatever. I can probably get a better deal on getting them printed this time of year anyway. Of course, it doesn't matter to some people. Priss and Dar are both known to wear their hoodies in July, 115* be damned! :chuckle:

I would buy, but the only thing I would ask for is for them to be fully zippable. I just hate taking off a hoodie over my head where thunderbolts zap me at all angles.

Oh god yes. Zippers are a must for me as well. I don't care if it costs more.

I don't wear hoodies (not fond of hoods in general...I like my peripheral vision, thanks) but I imagine this should be a pretty popular idea.

Do you have a design yet? If it looks good and it's zippered I may be interested.

Don't skimp on the material, nothing ruins sweatshirts faster than cheap material(s).

I would have good ones made. They'd cost more but I'd like them to last. I have not come up with a design yet but I'm open to suggestions. If anyone has a vision, feel free to share it. Out of curiosity, what would be your limit for how much you would pay for one?

Would be handy for winter dog walking or cold-weather cycling if it had a zip.

Will there be a zip?

Yes, of course.
Zippered.
I'd say $40.00 at most willing to spend.
Decoration should be embroidered, screen print does not hold up well on fleece or flocked material. Left chest, cuff, or even a hood rim logo placement (so its legible when the hood is on your back) would be nice.

^this. Also down for the zipper.
Embroidered decoration would be sweet.

Sounds good to me! However if its as short as the Nico shirts I'm out. I have cold washed and never dried 4 different ones so far and they always shrink to a near belly shirt on 6"2 me. I just don't have the self esteem to show off my midriff. :naughty:

Lol! I thought the same thing except one still fits perfect. Im 6'5 and I hate looking like Im out of the 80s lol. Thats why I try and order one size bigger (which was sold out), because it can always shrink if I want it to.

I would pay $50 or more for a good one. Quality is as important to clothes as it is car parts :)

Yeah, the $40 hoodie I only kinda liked. If I really liked this one, I'd drop $50+ on it.

I'd do $45-$50, Make sure to use extremely durable material on the sleeves, particularly the cuffs. Every hoodie I've ever had, the cuffs wore out and separated and then fell apart. Elbow's usually the second place to fail. Any designs yet?

No one has submitted anything yet. If I do decide to pull the trigger on this I promise they'll be good quality. If they're too expensive, I'll drop it. I don't want to pay good money (or bad) for s*** quality. I'll also see if they offer Tall / XXL+ sizes.

Submitted anything? Hell just throw the Nico banner at the top left of the page onto some black or gray hoodies. Done and done!

Im going to send you and Greg a quote on Monday. If you want a specific direction email me (at work) and I can go from there.

EDIT: Im actually out of the office today, or I would be doing it right now! Going to start here and you tell me where to go. I own one of these and I love it.

Calm yourself, Massatwoshits. I was just throwing the idea out there in case someone might want to get creative.
