    The F6B Mechanics shirts are in manufacture.

    With permission of the moderators I have taken on the mission of constructing F6B mechanics shirts for your pleasure. This is something our local Dodge LX car club did and it was a big hit, especially at the local Cars N Coffee event. This is not my business, not a side business and will not inflate into one. I am doing a favor and a feeler for the members here to dress for success and pride with the F6B mechanics shirt.

    These shirts are at 50% completion, awaiting patches and my seamstress. My seamstress is a wedding dress maker and a perfectionist, so I am at her mercy for time but she typically accommodates my needs in 1-2 days. My rough estimate is these shirts are at 14-18 days from being shipped. I only have 9 shirts in hand at this time and as I say this is a feeler. I will be glad to extend and purchase more shirts if the demand is there. Let's see where the first 9 go.

    If there is additional interest I would also be happy to shop a ladies shirt and have those made as well. I would also be glad to order plus sizes but they do typically cost a few dollars more when you go past the XXL sizing. We will take that as it goes.

    My goal is to dress the rally attendees. I am trying to get these shirts out as fast as possible so you may want to have your shirt embroidered or have the flag of your home country added or anything of your choosing. The blank slate is yours.

    Here are the renderings that I did in MSPaint so please don't criticize me for the angle of the patch. The seamstress will do a perfect job.

    Costs and shirts that I have on hand

    Shirts are $34 delivered to the lower 48 states. AK and HI will be $36. I will ship anywhere in the world but would need to get a true cost at the PO and reflect that in the final cost.

    On hand stock

    Charcoal
    1 L or Large
    1 XL or Extra Large in hands, 1 XL on order
    2 XXL or Double Extra Large

    Black
    1 L or Large
    2 XL or Extra Large in hands, 1 XL on order
    2 XXL or Double Extra Large
    5 XL on order, BIGLRY

    I am 5'11" and 220#. The XL fits me perfect. When I wear a L it is tight under the arms.



    If you are interested send a PM and I will begin logging first in, first purchased. I accept paypal, silver and gold (I'm serious), cash face to face, checks, money orders, whatever. I will send my paypal to you in the repsonse PM as well as my shipping address if you want to send a form of payment.

    I know trust is a key so I can only tell you my eBay member name is astrorooter if you want to research me and my Gunbroker.com member name is astrorooter as well.

    Thanks for looking and hope to see you in a mechanics shirt soon.

    Randy

    FIRST EDIT. Added BIGLRY 5X and also upped the quantities for the XL to 3 each

    Love that, sent ya a PM for a 5X if you can do it.
    I'd like to find the guy who embroidered the F6B on the back of a t-shirt and have one embroidered on the back of that shirt.

    The Dickies only start the TALL in the XL from what I found. Shirts are pretty lengthy as is. Do you have a long torso?

    Yes, long torso.
    They do look lengthy, and I have generally found US made shirts to be on the generous side for overall length. And because these are short sleeves, arm length should be irrelevant.
    I might just try the Large then. Can you guesstimate shipping cost by USPS to Canada, postal code R2V 4M9?
    Thanks
