WHAT OTHERS SAY .........
Go to any motorcycle show these days and there
are numerous stands offering T-shirts, some very
cheap and some very expensive. The problem is
that until you have worn and washed them a few
times you have no idea as to whether they are
going to be covering you body in a months time,
or polishing your bike. Even the price is not
a reliable guide!
Another problem buying at a show is that you
can get caught up in the mood or feel pressurised,
or just buy because a shirt is cheap. The other
big problem is that you end up with something
everybody else has and as bikers we all like to
be individuals rather than sheep, after all that
is why we ride bikes!
I am pleased to report that help is now at hand
from a UK firm called quite simply Biker T-shirts.
Thanks to a magnificent website you can sit at
home and browse at leisure through their existing
designs or create you own. They have also recently
teamed up with FoTToFinders in the Isle of Man
to produce a range of t-shirts featuring Road
Race Legends over the years. FoTToFinders have
over quarter of a million photographs of Isle
of Man and Ulster GP riders from 1907 to modern
day. (www.fottofinders.co.uk)
So you can now choose your own image to be printed
on the shirt which could mean you are literally
the only person wearing that shirt. Each original
negative is scanned and then painstakingly retouched
to remove scratches and dust marks before creating
the graphic for the t-shirt so you need not worry,
you will look good!
I was so impressed with what was on offer I ordered
a shirt from the above collection and one from
their birthday range which quickly arrived in
well wrapped cellophane packaging. Designs can
also be printed onto sweats and hoodies if you
want something warmer.
Having unwrapped them I found classic t-shirts
made from a sturdy 185 g/m², 100% cotton
with all seams double stitched. The flex print
graphics on both were perfect and the colours
were good, so everything looked promising for
a long life.
Now two months down the line with lots of wear
and washing they have not faded shrunk or done
anything other than what they should do. Certainly
both have attracted constant attention with people
asking where I got them, which is always nice
and makes you realise you are wearing something
different. So all looks good for both to be in
the draw for me to wear for years to come, rather
than the rag basket for next month’s bike
spring clean!
So al I can say is if you want a top quality
product that will get you noticed, take a look
at their website and make your selection from
the comfort of your own home. Worth sending the
website to loved ones for present ideas as well.
(Also check out their extensive gift site as well!).
Highly recommended! www.biker-t-shirts.co.uk
