I want a Ilford T-Shirt!!!!

[Simon R Galley]

Dear Film guy...et al,

Yes there is...we have chosen what we would like, based on the feedback, ILFORD Photo, white on black, embroidered not screen printed, a polo shirt and a rugby shirt. 'Less is more' according to the fashionistas at ILFORD Photo / HARMAN who are helping me sort this out...

Regards

Simon.

We await pricing etc, I will update a soon as I can.

Sorry to hear that Simon. Count me as one that really and truly wished for a T-SHIRT.

I'll end up taking a pass on these offerings, I'm afraid. I think your fashionistas overthunk this. I don't wan't to look like an Ilford sales rep.

Will ship to U.S.?

Rugby shirt for me - size XL.

I'm really pleased that ILFORD Photo / HARMAN decided go go "all British"!

 

[Stephanie Brim]

I'd like one, too.

 

[jd callow]

I'm good with a rugby shirt and possibly a polo.

 

[wirehead]

You'd better make them in American sizes, for those of us who are 6'3" and a little pudgy.

Someone please enlighten me: What is a rugby shirt?

That's funny. I don't know what a polo shirt is.

Polo shirt. Short sleeve, 2-3 button neck with collar, made from cotton knit or blend.

Rugby shirts are generally long sleeved, with 3 button neck with collar. They often have a different sleeve yoke (?). where the sleeve is continued on at an angle to the neck opposed to a sleeve that ends at the shoulder.

I imagine you have a few in your closet and don't realize it - think Izod or Ralph Lauren.

Embroidered means "Ilford Photo" will be small print - likely over the left breast. Similar to Mr. Lauren's classic "man on horse with polo mallet".

 

[Antje]

Thanks, JD! I guess I want a polo shirt, then...

How about an Ilford shop at their website where we can buy all sorts of different Ilford-logo items? As long as Ilford doesn't actually lose money on the goods, it's worth a little time and trouble to them to get free publicity. Then we could have the shirts, the mugs, camera straps and whatever else Ilford cared to offer. I still like the idea of having designs for specific products, such as an fp4+ shirt or an hp5+ mug. I suppose a camera strap might just say "Ilford."

I suppose a camera strap might just say "Ilford."

Or a little sticker to put on the camera, saying "Ilford Inside"?

 

[film_guy]

Awesome! Thanks and I seriously can't wait to order this.

There's tons of golfers who wear polo shirts with Nike, Addidas or Ping embroidered logos, and I don't think anyone mistook them for sales reps for those companies.

I'll end up taking a pass on these offerings, I'm afraid. I think your fashionistas overthunk this. I don't wan't to look like an Ilford sales rep.

That's a shame. I would have bought a black on white design. I can't stand black shirts of any design, too damn hot in summer.

I have it on good authority that summer will be the first three days in August this year...

Actually, not sure about black Polo-shirts: seems an odd colour somehow for that type of shirt. A black rugby shirt is more standard of course (http://www.cottontraders.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=122) ...

BTW, for our overseas readers, real rugby shirts as worn by players are different: shorter sleeves and different material. Fashion type shirts are based on olde style shirts as worn in the 1st half of the 1900's...

Cheers, Bob.

 

[jstraw]

Real rugby shirts have one rubber button.

Being a Sarfendah I've been enjoying summer temperatures for the past three weeks or so.

True: much the same in Lunnun: it appears that global warming is making those old jokes a bit redundant...

Another Crime Against Humanity perpetrated by SUV owners!... Never mind the bl**dy ozone layer, you are ruining our jokes with your selfishness!

Cheers, Bob.


* Just in case, as I did mention both G.W. and SUVs...

 

[Black Dog]

maybe an Ilford hoodie for the discerning analogist chavs?

 

[Thomassauerwein]

1 of each in Xtra large please!!!

 

[HerrBremerhaven]

Shame about going towards shirts with collars. I don't understand why Ilford could not simply make their film logo designs available through some place like Cafe Press:

http://www.cafepress.com/

That way anyone who might want a T-Shirt or coffee mug could just order one. There would be no inventory to store, and only a slight amount of time getting the files onto that website (or any similar company). In theory, someone could order a T-Shirt with each film variety.

Ciao!

I'll be up for at least one polo shirt.

Any chance of coffee mugs? I'd go for quite a few of those!
