Your pal took it to the printers and they were sold, he made some money, he may have even given Matt (Butterworths) a couple of quid too.

So you've been giving the people whose intellectual property you've been skimming a couple of quid on all of the "designs" you're making which are "inspired" by their content?

All made in England supporting local business's. Only sell them at £30 (not bad for a made in England t.shirt in limited numbers I think). There is little profit in it but it's more work for the small factories I like to work with.

Such as the small "local" factories in Japan that are scraping a living on £165 shirts?

Also just wondering seeing as you're taking this good guy stance and portraying yourself as a woebegotten creative who isn't making any money from all of these ripoffs, how do you actually go about affording a custom Field bike and all of the other trappings of luxury synonymous with life up North?

how do you actually go about affording a custom Field bike

The Field bike is a collaboration so maybe they went 50/50 on all costs.

I messaged Field and made them aware of the thread. They replied: Thanks for the message - I am not a member of the forum . I don’t share some of Thoms views but I do share his love of cycling and well made things. It was the YOMP - your own marching pace sentiment that I could relate to. Hopefully the bike we built and cycling in general will continue to be a positive influence. Ta Harry

I made them aware of the thread. I made them aware they didn’t need to be members to read it.

Therefore they are aware of the thread, the content of the thread and Thom’s contributions.

Bottom line is: they know Thom and his views but don’t share some of them. They relate to yomp and yomping. Are happy with the collaboration.
