RETRO - FORD CORTINA LOTUS mk2 t-shirt
Another Raggamuffin original. New Ford Cortina Lotus mk2 design for 2021. Standard bodywork, lowered suspension, 14" Minilite alloy wheels with low profile tyres, big brake conversion, Alan Mann tribute paintwork and a tastefully proportioned exhaust system poking out the back. This is retro perfection with added race cool. lol
Technical - This design is dye sublimation printed in full colour onto a white, 100% polyester, Xpres brand t-shirt. Sublimation prints are achieved at very high temperatures (200 - 205ºc) and chemically change the colour of the fabric via gas injection of the dye inks. There is no 'feel' to the printed image like there is with screen printing or polymer transfer prints. The garments are printed using the industry's leading ink 'Subli Sharp' which is manufactured in England under licence from InkTec of America, so no cheap and nasty Chinese inks here. These prints will not fade, crack or deteriorate and are permanently dyed into the garment. A really nice shirt and a top quality print.
Garments - All shirts are now Xpres Subli+ branded sublimation garments. The material is constructed to give a cotton like feel but is 100% polyester and is breathable, so no sweaty pits in these bad boys. Your shirt is made from 100% recycled materials (go on, hug a tree, shout about it to a vegan and burn more petrol with a clear conscience. lol). These garments are considerably thicker than the Gildan's you'll see sold elsewhere. They are a 'premium quality' shirt costing three times as much for me to buy in the blank garments, hence my price going up from £10.99 to £13.50. I'm making nothing at all extra out of this, in fact I'm losing around £1 per shirt off my already tight margins but I've always been daft like that (very un-Scottish of me, I know). lol Ebay are making more from final value fees and the heavier post cost though, which must be nice for them. Better quality shirts have been requested, better quality shirts are now being produced. No rip off, no profiteering, just a better product all round. It's really that simple.
Boring legal bit - These designs are my copyright and intellectual property, including the branding. I produce them from scratch with about 8 hours design work going into each one. If you see them elsewhere the design has been 'lifted' illegally and is being used without my permission. I sell exclusively on ebay. Please don't buy them from elsewhere if you see them for sale. You will in all likelihood receive a really poor second generation copy of my work, missing loads of detail, on a sub-standard cheap 'seconds' rated shirt laden with flaws and printed by someone who doesn't care in the slightest using inks made from who knows what? You have been warned. To be blunt it'll be rubbish compared to my shirts. Sorry about the copyright splashed all over the image, our friends in 'bat flu land' seem to have taken a shine to nicking my work. Naughty, naughty. No pangolin pie for you tonight. lol
Sizing and returns - Please note the size chart in the photos above. The chart is accurate to within a few millimetres (I've checked it against numerous shirts at random) and should be used before purchasing any garment. Your shirt will be hand printed to order and is therefor exempt from the vast majority of returns rules (full details regarding handmade to order items are available on yougov.co.uk). I will of course exchange items but a second post fee will apply where you've purchased the wrong size in error, plus an additional £5 restocking fee as I bin all returns off to charities abroad (nice guy, told you. lol). You try it on, it isn't 'new' anymore, so I don't pass it on to anyone else. New means new, not tried on once by someone else. Please, just use the size chart. Post cost is higher than my profit margin on a shirt so the arithmetic is quite simple. My only alternative would be to put the price of every shirt up to cover losses which isn't fair on people who do use the size chart. It takes seconds to measure your favourite shirt before ordering. Save yourself two additional post fees, a restock fee and being put on the Ragga naughty step. It's a cold and miserable place with nothing to eat. lol
