anyone know of a site where you can get clothing with sign painter graphics on them already. I like wearing stuff pertaining to my craft, and so far all I can find is your occasional t-shirt for a workshop etc... They're okay too, but limited. Thanks. Buddy Norris buddynorris@netscape.net

Gosh.....doesn't PKing sell those splatter overalls? Those are cool! But seems like every pair of jeans and overalls I have all get paint splatters, roof tar or truck oil all over them in no time.

I think SignCraft magazine has some shirts. www.signcraft.com
While I'm thinking about it, if Steve or Barb can send me the Letterville logo (12" wide at 200 dpi), I'll screen some shirts at cost for him to sell for this site.

Maybe some of you guys(&gals)should design a "line of sign clothing" I'll pay a royality, have them made(with quality construction)and offer them thru my network of suppliers!
Hey, yeah, great idea !! With special pockets and compartments(for things like Rapid Tac stuff)...

PKing Duck Creations Offers a full line of "signmaker" clothing! (he he he Thanks for the plug Cheryl) OVERALLS: For the paint slinging walldogs APRONS: For the vinyl applicators....with pockets TOTE BAGS:For tool and material carriers ACCESSORIES:Tennis Shoes,Belts,Ties,etc These items will take the guess work out of who you are and what you do for a living. I find it handy for on site identification as to "you MUST be the sign guy I need to meet with"
These items are individualy designed(no 2 alike)with One Shot flourescent paints.
Seems to me that Barb(Mrs.Mayor)has a pair of the overalls. Others have aprons given away as door prizes. Some have bought Tote bags for thier personal use as designer wear.
I will try and get in contact with Roger to help distribute these items

OK, I'll see what I can pull together over the next week. Once that is done, I will seek Steve and Barb's approval and work out the details for how payment is handled before I proceed. It may be a couple weeks before anything is announced.

Nobody has suggested a "fanny pack", but then maybe that's a wise choice, considering the size ranges that might be required.

Glenn, Great Idea! Letterville t-shirts! I will buy 3. I bought a PKing original apron at the Dixie Letterhead Meet at Commerce,GA a couple of years ago. I use my apron when I don't want to get paint on my good clothes,Pat Also I think the Dixie Letterhead t-shirts that Sonny screened would be killer too! Judy

Well Mark, you got the picture! at least those photos remsemble sign makers clothing which resembled the original post rather then a scoungie undershirt. oops I mean T-shirt! I could see signmakers clothing worn at work, whether over-alls or some pant and golf shirt set-ups. As a former real clothing designer, I would never consider a T-shirt being the main object of the original post. But then again I always felt that you can't polish a turd.
Can you just see going to a luncheon at a resturant with a perspective client, customer wearing a tank top or an undershirt?

Get so annoyed in signshops watching people trying to find pencil/rule/cutter etc.
Been wearing overalls for 37 years : everything in its place : pencils/rule/can opener/squegee/note book/cutter/sand paper/rag/mobile phone : during apprenticeship would be sent home if all above were not in place

Don Hulsey had golf or polo style shirts with his name embroidered on them at Pat's meet. Looked nice to me to wear talking to customers but not too dressy (if you know what I mean). Maybe if we have some embroiderers on here, we could get a nice little design done on those style of shirts too for selling type stuff. Whatcha think?
Oh yeah, I'm with Dana. sweatshirts would be awesome for those of us who are up here where it's freaking cold.

Yes, on the sweatshirts:make sure they are the really "soft" fleece on the inside. Yes, on the tshirts, can we have some 100%cotton?, they are a wonderful feel too (just have to watch for the first shrink). Yes, on the splattered paint clothing, and I bet it would make a great skirt, Yes on the aprons with deep pockets, always can use them and they do have many several functions.

When offering my "Designer" Overalls and Aprons Functionality while working was my main concern. Doing Lunch with customers,calls for a DIFFERENT costume. Although when meeting customers on job sites for measurements and quotes. The overall/apron takes the guess work out of who is who. All them "SUITS" look the same to me!
Maybe my post about Sign-Bonics who have helped keep this post on track. Seems to me..."Signmaker Clothing"was the issue
