    The Rust Logo Shirt

    They're similar to last time -- still featuring a large Rust Logo (designed by Mason Oller and voted "official" by Rusties several years ago) and the HyperRust URL on the front. It says "Bootleggers Suck!" on the back. Ummmmmmmm, not really... Actually the back is the same as the front, so that people who pass you can do a double-take and get another look after you've passed.

    They come in WHITE or YELLOW this time. You can go look at them and order them right now at t-shirts.com. But you might want to check out this additional info first...

    The base price for one shirt (including shipping) has risen to slightly over $20 (additional shirts in one order only add a little to shipping cost).The shirt prices have held for some time now, but the shipping cost has risen a little. No promises on how long these prices will hold, we're at the whims of t-shirts.com. Click this shirt image to go to "store".

    WHITE shirt: $14.00 (sizes S, M, L or XL)
    Add: $ 1.00 for YELLOW
    Add: $ 2.00 size XXL
    or add: $ 2.50 size XXXL (white only)
    or add: $ 2.50 size XXXXL (white only)
    (No sales tax except for those in Illinois.)
    3-day Fedex shipping cost is $6.52 for 1 or 2 shirts,
    $7.17 for 3 shirts, increasing gradually for more.
    Faster (more expensive) options are available.
    (Click the shirt to go to the "store".)

    Here's the bad news: That shipping price is only for the 48 continental USA states. Rates for Alaska, Hawaii or for other countries can be double the US shipping cost (or more).

    I suggest that those outside the 48 contiguous US states should try to get a Rust buddy inside those states to order YOURS along with theirs, which gets the shirt(s) to them for nothing extra (or just a little more). Then your buddy can ship yours to you as a "gift" (for customs purposes) in a tyveck envelope (very light but plenty secure). Even overseas the shipping cost shouldn't be more than a few bucks (I hand shipped almost 100 of them that way last time, for about that.)

    You folks in the "lower 48 states" who have buddies outside them, get in touch with your buddies to see if they want you to order one for them while you're ordering yours! Maybe a helpful Rustie can volunteer on Rust to place a few such orders for some of our overseas brothers and sisters?

    NOTE: I'm not making a penny off this arrangement. In fact, I had to pay 30+ damn dollars for my "prototype" shirt from them (before I secured the quantity price for the rest of Rust). But the shirt turned out really nice, IMHO. And the t-shirts.com folks seem to be a reliable service, so I'm happy enough about this arrangement (except for their prohibitive non-US shipping prices).

    Any questions or problems, fire away!

    Below is the original run of the Rust Logo shirt, where a super deal was set up back in 1997 for an order of over 300 shirts, white and off-white only. Unfortunately the vendor back then ended up giving us a hard time about delivering all of the shirts. The current vendor (above) has been carefully selected to avoid that kind of situation this time.

    The Rust Logo Shirt

    This shirt, featuring Mason Oller's Rust Logo design, is a Haines 50/50 or equivalent. White only (else the logo coloring would be affected).

    Rock bottom group price for Rusties -- HALF the normal individual non-group shirt order price during our initial "mass order":

    • $10 --- includes shipping!
    • Add $2 for XXL or XXXL sizes
    • Add $1 for shipping to Canada
    • Add $3 for shipping outside USA/Canada
    Future "individual" orders by Rusties will still have a major discount, but will be slightly higher (approx $2 per shirt) than the mass-order.
    Order dead-line for the initial mass-order has been reached. All orders have been acknowledged. If you placed an order, please be sure your payment gets to me by Saturday, May 24 (1997).
