T-Shirts Are Now Available

Hey Real Deal Folks,

Just thought I'd drop a quick note advising of something that is way late happening, but happening none the less. We now have Cyclone's Real Deal T-Shirts available. (I'm sure that we will know when it becomes necessary and mandatory to wear them!) I have decided to make one slight change to them, however.

Since we all seem to want to do our part in protecting the environment and save oil in the process, these shirts are going to be available only in "organic cotton." Sorry Stoney, no black. Organic cotton is a little bit more expensive, but has many advantages. By doing this we will help cotton farmers, save oil that we clearly need for the future by not using dye and help the environment since they use no pesticides to grow this cotton. They are also extremely comfortable. There are other advantages as well. I know that a few T-Shirts won't save much oil, but we have to start somewhere, so it may as well be here. There will be one exception to this.

Natural cotton tends to run a tad bit smaller than other "dyed" models, and the largest that I can get are 2x. So, if you need a larger size than that, I will do some in Ash Gray for those special orders. Natural cotton is an off white color that may vary somewhat from shirt to shirt, but they look good. These will all be "Direct Printed," not Screen Printed, which also costs a bit more but will look better and last longer.

Pricing:

Organic cotton: S-XL $17 + $3 shipping
2XL $19 + $3 shipping

Ash Gray: S-XL $15 + $3 shipping
2-4XL 17 + $3 shipping

I originally thought that using PayPal would be the easiest way to handle this. But, after learning what I learned from Belgium about PayPal, we will figure out a different method of payment. I'll let everybody know what that is a little later. In the meantime, please email me at cyclone@cyclonesrealdeal.com with your orders. Please include the number of shirts, sizes, and color choice. Hopefully most if not all will choose organic cotton, but I know they are a couple of bucks more and $2 is a lot to some of us. If sometime in the distant past gave me an order or told me what you want, please do so again so I can make sure that you are still interested and that I get the proper number and correct sizes.

Thanks to all, you are doing a great job in my absence.
