M2C2 Shirts

Hey gys,

You should wash the shirts before you wear them. The shirts will fade a very little bit but looks great. I would recamend to wash it first.

Really good advice, but how are people going to be able to do that when they won't be receiving them until we arrive at PKI? ???? I'm not one much for handwashing clothing items in the hotel sink and won't be out looking for a laundramat when I can be mingling at the hotel or resturaunt.

Urrrm... you are talking about the PKI event, aren't you?

I called the Kirkwood Inn and they have washer and dryers for guest usage.

I will be glad to do a group wash and dry for anyone that wants to wash their shirt before wearing on Saturday.

Thanks again to Nate for making the shirts on such short notice.

I have the shirts and will try to do that (but not making any promises). Good suggestion Chris. My only fear is that they will "bleed" and not look as good for Saturday. I hope this doesn't happen.

Cold water. Gentle Cycle. Warm - not hot - dry cycle.

Thanks for the tips. My wife and I discussed it and she's in favor of letting each of us wash out the shirts ourselves at the hotel if we choose to. Washing and drying 24 shirts tonight will be pushing it with everything else we've put off til the last minute doing! So....it probably won't get done.

Sorry for the getting back with you guys late. Wash it in cold water. The shirts will blead in the sun if they ar enot washed once before wearing them. I wore mine at the car show and when i got back it had beaded on the white but, afer i washed it it stoped that p roblem and not it looks a little faded a little but looks awesome and do nto have a problem with the bleading. Sorry for the late leting you guys know. I had just found it out when i was at the car show. Sorry for the mixup.
