The StP Bandana Project

[landpirate]

we're up to $140 bucks at the moment. you can see how much money was pitched in on the main page of StP.

oh ok, yeah sorry I didn't realise that was all for bandanas. Ok, will see what I can rustle up. I'll at least pimp them to as many people as I can.

Definitely throwing down as soon as I get some money ::joyful::
Also, the design is beyond amazing and it should stay the way it is

 

[RnJ]

Sorry, I'm going broke.

thank you! and just a reminder to folks, we just need 15 more people, so it's not impossible! just tell your friends or remind other StP'ers

Sorry, I'm going broke.

it's all good man, when you can you can, when you can't you can't

i'd cover the rest myself if i had the money :/

 

[Matt Derrick]

so... unfortunately it's been almost a month and we've only raised about 180 bucks out of the 300 dollar goal, so at this point i think it's time to throw in the towel.

i'm refunding everyone's money today, so if you don't get a refund let me know so i don't overlook anyone. sorry it didn't work out, but if folks want to print this on their own, i'll be putting the design up for download later today.

Yo homie, keep the coin from me

Yo homie, keep the coin from me

thanks man, i really appreciate that.

 

[OutsideYourWorld]

That's a shame.

Is there not another route? You were going to print these yourself, right? Well are there no companies/private makers somewhere on the big 'ol internet who could do this for cheaper? Might not be as nice than doing it yourself, of course.

What about having a few different styles or colours of bandanna's, as opposed to trying to jam every single aspect of all the lifestyles into one.

Im with wizehop on this
I dont drink often enough to justify a hooch bottle on my noggin.and ive never biked long distance.im not against gvmnt i just dont like the direction mines headed.but i do the anarchist thing and dont vote so i cant bitch too much.maybe if i voted it would make a differance..any way..im into steampunk and boats and trains and rubber and planes but i think all that jammed into a bandanna is a bit much.i will buy 3 or 4 of em from u especially if u make them more designed towards a specific style.id like to also add...bonnaroo makes bandanas that when folded certain ways..u get differant results.for instance..riding dirty face wearing bandana like a bandit u might see a jolly roger.or folded like willy nelsons u might read "squattheplanet"...u get what im tryin to say?

 

[kidbob]

I just realized im late....oh nose....

 

[kidbob]

And the end design was/is so bad ass.
i really wish this comes together in the near future

 

[Matt Derrick]

A campfire that looks a bit like this might fit better with the overall theme. Something that looks more drawn than a logo (refrencing landpirate's post on page one to back up my opinion)

ok. finally got around to adding this campfire image and it looks pretty great:

So this is the final version. I won't be making any other changes. Thank you to everyone for helping and giving your input on this, it really turned out great.

Unfortunately we weren't able to raise enough money to do a print run of these, so I've sent refunds to everyone that sent in money. If for some reason you haven't gotten a refund, please let me know. I kinda got screwed on some of the transaction fees, so @ellilis hasn't gotten her money back yet, but hopefully they should be the only one.

For anyone that's interested, I'm attaching the final version of the adobe illustrator file to this post. I'm licensing this under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License which means anyone can redistribute, remix, modify and use this file for their own purposes as long as it's not for commercial means. So feel free to print it out and make your own screen print if you like, or use it as a template to create a different bandana.

Yoooooo I haven't been on here for a fucking minute but god damn, this thing is looking miles sexier from where it started (not that it looked bad to begin with, but damn) Good job matt! Sad you weren't able to raise enough money, I'd love to get my hands on a few of these guys. Thanks for uploading the original file. You should try again soon to get a batch done!

&&& if anyone does end up screen printing some, hit me up cause I'd love to throw down some cash for a few!

 

[GabeNoscar]

Why hasn't anyone made these. A old school screen set up is no more than 80$. Ink emulsion and screen. I have a one screen press stashed in Jackson Tennessee. Who ever wants to make these I'll throw in on the shipping to get it to you. Pretty sure it would be 25$ though. Has the screen light mounts screen arms . It will work no problem. Holla if you guys need it.

 

[Matt Derrick]

Hey folks, for anyone that is still interested in these bandanas, I finally found a printing company capable of printing them for a reasonable price, but they just got back to me and said they are booked up until September! Fuck.

I would love to make these and I'm okay with putting down the money to make it happen, but I just can't find anyone that will print these. So, I need your help!

Any screen printer we get to print these has to have these three requirements.

1. must be able to print to within 1 inch of the border of the bandana (90% of printers will only print up to 2.5 inches, which will not fit our design).
2. must be able to print at a reasonable cost (i.e. $5 per bandana or less)
3. minimum batch must be 50 bandanas.

For anyone curious as to why I don't print it myself, I've tried more than 5-6 times now and it's really hard to do something that large (remember, a bandana is 22 in x 22 in; this isn't your average 8x11" print) and I just don't have the equipment (or time) to do it correctly. So we're going to need a professional screen printer for this.

I've looked high and wide, and Man vs Ink was my last hope (they're the ones booked until September), so if folks want to make this happen, help me find someone that can print these!

Congratulations on that company being booked until September.

Sometimes, if a company can't service you they might recommend somebody who can.

I'm guessing requirement #3 is flexible, yes?

Are you willing/able to provide the bandannas?

Is this single color?

What format is the artwork in, can you provide the file?
(I looked earlier in the thread and found it)

I don't know much about screenprinting, but I have a grip on purchasing.

It it still available and in working condition?

Can you provide the manufacturer and model#?

 

[kecleon]

For printing check Alibaba if you don't mind getting them done in China (and waiting a month for shipping). Looks like there's a lot of suppliers that can do what you're looking for. Min order looks like it's around 50. $2/piece don't know if that includes shipping but doubt it would add much.

 

[kokomojoe]

I feel like screen printing could be ideal for these

 

[RnJ]

Just for the record, though, Matt, isn't September better than nothing? Are you able to get yourself in line for September just in case we don't find another solution before then? Or do you have to front the money for an order to get in line?
