The shop mentions a pre sale of these to get an idea of numbers. Nice designs. Problem is I can’t see anyway to pre order on the page. Is it just me? Probably, usually is.

The answer is out there..

Much prefer the grey one with the cows...

There's a misprint on the back of the black one - "Cropredy Bell still peeled" - not "pealed".

The cow one looks very apeeling

Might be like those coins with the sovereign's head the wrong way. Wait a few years and it will be worth a fortune  ;D

I rather like the cow one...I'm almost tempted to buy my first Cropredy shirt in a decade.  The Full House one is rather pants, imho.

They must have corrected it because it is pealed now  :)

Pants? Possibly.
Twee? Certainly.
But in a reflective socially distanced summer strangely appealing?

Ordered the cows t-shirt. Sorry but I think the Nigel poem is a bit naff...almost to the Purple Ronnie standard?

Yes, £20 is a bit steep, but it's part buying a t-shirt and part supporting the festival. Cancelling didn't come free.

So if you want to look as cool as I do Click Here. (http://www.fairportconvention.com/shop)

I don't know what it is.....but there's something sinister about that Mickey Mouse lurking in the background.  Keep safe Colin!  ;D

Cheers,

I could never look that effortlessly cool Colin!

I will buy a t-shirt though :)

Ordered my t-shirt on 18 June but still waiting for delivery! Yes I know it’s a 2-man show running the business but website did say I would receive mine before 13 July. Now website just says ‘now shipping’ Hopefully it will come in the next few days?

Looks good on you Colin - I do like the cows design. Is that a Lowry on the wall next to you? It looks like 'The Old House, Grove Street, Salford'.

Yes, I was standing in 'The Gallery', which connects to the west wing and is where we promenade indoors, if the weather isn't good.  

Hahaha!! I wasn't expecting that it was an original.....!!!!

That is a bit different from a work colleague asking me if a picture behind me was a local artist and I had to reply ‘No, it’s a multi-produced one from NEXT.’


I would like a T-Shirt, usually wear them as winter nighties, have to ask Himself if he’d prefer to wake up to a big cow or a gang of mature gents.

 ;D A colleague of mine's wife bought (for quite a considerable amount of money) an original painting by......Timmy Mallett!!!!! What the flip?!!

I love his work! For an annoying little chap, he's a brilliant artist. Here's an example

I listened to a programme on radio, he did a cycle ride of the Camino de Santiago in memory of his late brother who had Downs Syndrome. He did art along the way and left little name labels of his brother. He is meant to be a very good artist, as shown by Bridget.

Consider for year’s t-shirt, maybe?  :)

Thanks Bridget - Love the style of that too. (And thanks Lorna for the info about the radio programme - he sounds like a good chap - and thanks for getting this thread back on to the subject of T-Shirts after my unintentional diversion....sorry Colin!!)

Mine arrived this morning, and mighty fine it is too.

Ordered mine an hour ago... now have to wait.

Mine came today too....another reminder that I was going to see Steve Hackett twice this year, but now I won't see him at all.
But, Dog willing, I'll see him twice NEXT year.
So...yay ?

Likewise on the Steve Hackett front .

Me too. Can't wait  :D

I'm still tempted with this shirt for old time's sake.  Oh, what the hell...  :)

Got mine today.  Now to see if waistline still ok...

Yay! I’m a happy bunny as my ‘Not Cropredy’ t-shirt arrived today!....and it fits  ;D

Yep, my "Cows" tee shirt arrived the other day and has now been washed ready to wear.

Wow! I never knew that about Timmy Mallett! What a lovely picture Brij. Very much my thing :-)

Check out his website for more. As annoying as he is, I can't dislike him, he's harmless and he's always positive. Kids love him!

Mine too!

Apologies for going off topic...but while on the subject of Steve Hackett...The following T shirt link may be of interest, with 100% of the profits going to Steve's road crew... 8)

Back on topic...Think I will order a Cropredy T Shirt... ::)

 Thanks for that Glen - I may invest!  :)

My cows shirt arrived yesterday  ;D

The cows shirt arrived yesterday, been in the washing machine overnight, now I am all set for the August Connection :-)

Is this a thing, about washing them first?  Must admit I never have... (but then I'll pop my Cropredy one straight away at the festival, which I know some people think is Not The Done Thing).

Ive never washed a Tshirt before wearing it.
A Dress shirt yes, but not a Tshirt

I said that out loud to myself when I read it  :)  From many of the postings it seems we're in the minority though.

It might shrink before you have a chance to wear it ;D

I thought I was doing something wrong by not washing it beforehand. Glad I'm not the only one

I'm glad I raised the question on behalf of us non-pre-washers!

Mine arrived Saturday.... Two youth shirts for my great niece and nephew. I bought Nora a”we want our field back” shirt at my first Cropredy. She’s been sharing it with her brother since his arrival a few years later. It no longer fits her like a long dress.
They’ll enjoy having both the original and the postponed one.

Sorry to double post.....

Their dad will definitely wash it before letting them wear the new shirts.

FC official site is now taking pre-orders for another t-shirt - to support the Cropredy Crew, who are losing most of this year's income from festivals...

so... late to the conversation but why prewash? advantages?

It means you never need to wash it.   :D

No, it means that any shrinking and major colour bleeding will already have occurred.

Jules

When was the last time anybody got any colour bleed from a commercially available t-shirt?  Must be decades for me...but then again, I always wash everything at 30 degrees (see below).

I don't understand the shrinking point at all - if you wash anything too hot it can shrink at any time.

Hmmm.  If anybody wants a new definition of "first world problems" please refer them to this discussion   ;) ;D
