hey
i used to have 2 t shirts but they disappeared over the years and several moves
where can i get replacements

postlibyan · Apr-25-06, 4:27 PM

well, good luck with that. i don't think anywhere really sells CT t-shirts anymore. however, sometimes they pop up on eBay. i think... probably expensive....

oh, and, uh, welcome, since that was your first post.

there are almost always a few on ebay, but i think some of them are just shirts people have made themselves with iron on transfer stuff and whatnot

moeism · Apr-25-06, 8:15 PM

i don't know they ever even sold official ones... but i guess it makes sense if they went on tour and stuff.. what do they look like?? i've given up on looking for them...

Hi there PearlyDrop and welcome.
Now, everybdy......

What say we come up with a Cocteau Twins Forum T-shirt design and get a batch load printed????

If we get enough orders wouldn't cost too much, would it?

mortalcoil · Apr-26-06, 5:14 AM

Would only be cheap if you ordered a batch load of the same size though.

Bugger!

Good luck in finding one. When I travel and ask about Cocteau Twins' t-shirt my usual response is "Wow", "Awe". "Is that an 80's band?" but never find success. You will find some legit T-shirts on ebay.

Most major towns and cities have a t-shirt print service where you can ask for anything. Not too prohibitive money wise, I think! (never done it). So all you'd need is a universal design image eg here, and away you go!

Who can draw?

Leesa posted some nice pictures of her tshirt collection here: http://www.cocteautwinsforums.com/sh...hlight=tshirts
There were certainly official ones produced - I bought a shrinkwrapped copy of "Love's Easy Tears" 12" when it came out that included a Tshirt, postcard & poster. Sadly the shirt was a "small"...and it has long since disintegrated.

actually, CafePress.com will let you upload some artwork and then they print to custom order. that is, if someone came up with some artwork, it could be made available on that site, and then individual forumites could order their own shirt, size and color to your own liking. CafePress is somewhat expensive though -- about US$18 per shirt, but if you think about it, it's not too bad....

i have wanted to do this for my own website, but the our graphic designer is a total flake....

Aren't there still ctFest shirt available??

moeism · Apr-26-06, 9:11 PM

count me in! if we find a decent way to produce the shirts, i'm all about it!!!

kookaburra · Apr-26-06, 9:38 PM

I just scribbled Cocteau Twins on a Hanes crew-neck T-shirt with a permanent marker. I'll send it immediately. If anyone else wants one, I'll be selling them for $5 each.

elysium · Apr-26-06, 10:05 PM

I have a t-shirt from the old ct boards. Great work Mike MHG, could you send that to me, too?

kookaburra · Apr-26-06, 10:10 PM

Fine! Forget about all my hard work.

And to think I was going to send you one free of charge.
