Woo!
I've got the samples. And they are fabulous. The rabbit one especially (yeah, personal preference I know).
I've just called them to say they're cool and to proceed only to be told that Continental who produce the Bamboo are out of stock until mid-June at the earliest. So the printer can only use the stock that they already have on hand.
What this means is:
The Smalls are cool.
The Extra Larges are cool.
The Larges, they're about 10 short of the needed quantity.
The Mediums, they're about 90 short!
They've offered me a more expensive organic cotton shirt instead with no additional charge (finer stitching, thick densely woven cotton). The Bamboos just aren't available until Continental manufacture more and that affects all printers in the UK so it's not like switching now would help, and if we did switch it would hit the artwork costs.
Anyhow... I'm cool for accepting 10 Larges (probably the WAC design) in cotton.
But whether to accept the bulk of WAC, Rabbit and a few Airfix mediums as cotton... unsure. The bamboo is dead sweet. I'm giving priority to the most popular shirts, so if we have bamboo it's going on Airfix first.
So the question is: Would you accept some of the mediums in cotton, or do you prefer to wait a month or so longer until bamboos become available?
That's all I need to know so I can give the green light on the rest of the order (it's all now waiting for me to approve the order as is, or make changes and add delay).
