View Full Version : WISH Shirts (Original/AlertShirt)

Shirts came in last night and are going out today! :cool1: We were working like fools last night, but would not have another chance until next week. I'm getting a good system going now, too. :upsidedow
However, for the first time in 3 years (and at least 8 orders), I noticed spots on some of the shirts. It looks like they should come out in the wash, so I took the gamble and sent them on. However, if your shirt has spots that do not come out, please let me know ASAP. I have already contacted AlertShirt and they think they should come out, but we will fix it if it does not. Like I said, I have never seen this before, and I was shocked. I didn't want to delay and just didn't have time to try washing them myself, resort them and try again. Please let me know if there is a problem, though.

:lmao: Thanks for understanding. It should not have happened, though. Their quality has alwasy been very good. I was sick when I saw tehm last night, espcially, as I only had that time to work on getting them out.

someone's been watching 101 dalmations too much. We could claim to be inspired by the film :rotfl: I wonder if there are 101 of us doing minnie...
As already said, not a problem for me. Decision making, well that's a whole other story :rotfl:

Shirts arrived!! I got one for fdil - when we ran the Shamrock Shuffle and Megan found me (and like fdil said, how can one be missed in the dayglo?? *grin) I told her I was getting her a shirt so we could wear them for the CDC in august!!
She was thrilled!!
thanks...
(I seem to recall a very old commercial... "sure is hot out".. "what?" "cant get that spot out? Try ...." )

Thanks Carrie.
I got mine on Saturday.:thumbsup2
For those that already have one of these shirts...do they shrink? Do you hang yours to dry or put it in the dryer on low?

Cheryl - For a while, I washed mine in warm and they were fine. Just don't use fabric softener or they'll lose their wicking properties.

Thanks Anne and Carrie. My shirts are a little big so I was hoping they would shrink just a little but no big deal. They look great anyway!
Thanks again Carrie for all of your hard work!!

My shirts are here! They look great. Thanks!
I have a question. Has anyone ever "rehemmed" one of these LOL! I am not tall and it's a little long. I was thinking of cutting it off and re-hemming. Suggestions?
Steffwalks

I haven't re-hemmed, yet. I just plan to make a narrow hem and use a stretch stitch to hem it.

I haven't attempted it yet, but I definitely need to do something. My shirt hits me mid-thigh, I look like I'm a kid (a very old kid) wearing thier dad's shirt. :rotfl: I'm also going to try and take up the shoulders a little. I love it though and can't wait to wear it.

Carrie, Jim's shirt came with several spots. I just washed it, and all of them came out but one. It is on the back, but it is pretty noticeable. What did Alert Shirts suggest if anyone had problems?

Carrie- they came this morning! Here i was worrying there wouldn't be enough time!!! Perhaps some pixie dust sped them up.
I absolutely love them, wore the long sleeve today for a run and the cuffs are great and i actually really like the extra length- for once my top wasn't creeping up my sides as i ran! They feel completely diff to my usual wicking shirts so might have to get used to that a bit. No obvious spots to me either! Do you have super vision!?!?
Thank you so so much- you have no idea how much i appreciate your hard work and those responsible for the other items too :lovestruc

My shirts arrived today too! They look great. I'll be all ready for my first race this weekend. (except for the fact that it is supposed to snow - I do have another shirt to wear underneath)
Thanks for doing the shirt order Carrie - send me an email! :goodvibes
