Hi All,

Many have requested Photrio branded gear, but finding the best solution for this was a challenge. After a lot of trial and error, I have settled on a great solution and am now adding items to the shop. You access the shop through the main menu link. There will also be a new banner ad for the shop in some areas.

I have been reaching out to various photo companies that do not have branded items to see if they would like me to list items for them. I also have an awesome artist who is working on original photo inspired shirt designs and more. Eventually, I would like the shop to have hundreds of designs.

The initial launch is mainly Photrio branded items, but I'll let you know when new designs start rolling out. We don't make much off of the sales (but it all adds up), and it's a great way for our name to be seen, especially at photo events.

If you have any suggestions or requests (can I get this in a V-neck? can I supply a design? can you do a design like this?) feel free to reply here or contact me.

Thanks!
Sean

I would not know why to run around with the Apug or Photrio logo as such. It is not known over here anyway. And hardly anyone would ask what it means.

But something funny related to analog photography could be interesting.

The designs and options look nice. Are the prices in US dollars? I don't see that indicated anywhere.

Hi, thanks. Yes it is USD. I've just updated the shop home page to state this.

Not that I need another ball style cap, but I'm thinking the same about the name or logo meaning being lost too. A thought about the cap with the name front and back would be to trade off the rear embroidering for verbiage below the main logo on the front for a bit of definition there maybe.
Film vs Digital, Film & Digital, Film meets Digital, Film + Digital, Film-Hybrid-Digital, Analog to Digital. Again, maybe to keep the price in check trade off the rear embroidery for a catch phrase of meaning just under the main front logo.

I still have my black APUG sweatshirt, though the ends of the sleeves have taken a beating (I wear those out on every sweatshirt).

I have a design you may have - I'll shoot you an e-mail (I owe you for something, too).

I think Sirius' APUG/PHOTRIO Logo would be good.
Particularly for us old guard.

THEN people indeed would ask me what Photrio means!

At this early stage it's mainly print on demand items. It could be tricky finding companies willing to make photo accesories in this way, but will investigate.

I looked at the APUG T shirts, B&W ones, but cannot get a real size chart.

My chest size is 102cm, I am unable to work out which shirt will fit, or am I missing something?

By the way, apart from the USA, which I do understand may be your largest market, no one else in the world uses inches.

Mick.

There may be a few shirts I forgot to ad the metric sizing to, I'll double check. What I did was measure an existing t-shirt that I own and go based on that.

Interesting array of goodies. And I like hoodies!
But... US Dollars??
Your market is not limited nor restricted to the USA. So the currency of your nearest neighbour (Australia), and your own (New Zealand), additional to US and Canadian currencies (e.g. via a drop-down menu for selection [?]) would be helpful, if only as a guide.

Don't forget your (and Australia's...) GST...

Yeah, multi-currency support doesn't seem workable from what I can tell. Paypal will do the conversion before you submit your order, but I'll see if I an add a currency conversion widget.

Well, Fuji already took that noodle-soup field. Sean would be too late...
