I was looking for my RickResource Tshirt before I went to the Reading, Pa show this last weekend and couldn't find it.
Am I crazy or were there some RickResource Tshirts that I bought. I could have swore I had one and looked everywhere but no Tshirt.

Does anyone have a link where to get another or other RickResource gear?

Thanks in advance.

They're currently not available, but I hear a new one should be designed soon.

But weren't they available not too long ago? I could swear I bought one and received it. Had the RickResource logo from this site on it.
Maybe I was dreaming........Oh well I hope they come out soon - I'm in for a couple of them.

They where available about a year ago.
I hope the new Tee's are of better quality.
Mine really shrunk after the first washing.
I would certainly pay more for a nicer heavier shirt.

Sorry to be so long getting back on this...my computer at my office is down.

The Cafe Press RRF store is currently on hiatus, until a new RRF logo is designed and selected.

We should be up and running by the Holidays.

Incidentally, there will be no profit taken on any of the items at the store, EXCEPT the black t-shirts. For each black t-shirt sold, we will donate $1.00 to the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA. All other items are sold at out cost.

There will be an announcement posted on this Forum when the store is re-opened.

I think they were available again sometime around the RIC Anniversary, or it may just have been the coffee mugs. Only Paul could tell us for sure.

It was the black t-shirts.... I had ordered a black one before we left for California, but it didn't come in time for me to wear it for the Confluence.... The white ones may have been available then, too. I'm not sure.

I'm wishing we had RRF sweatshirts--we're in sweater season now in northern Minnesota, and those cool Ric t-shirts are hidden beneath all the layers, LOL! I do have one very faded black sweatshirt with the Rickenbacker TRC logo embroidered in gold in the upper left corner....it's one of my favorites for lounging around the house this time of year.

White ones were available in early August as I ordered and received one then.

A suggestion for t-shirts - after washing in WARM (not hot) water, just hang them on a large plastic hanger (put it up through the middle, not through the neck), and there is no shrinkage. Dryers are killer on cotton.

Yes, mom.

I actually think they said Rickenbacker Forum not RickResource. I'll have to pull one of mine out and look.

Yep! Rickenbacker Forum.

That's why we're redesigning the logo; the shirt itself will remain the same.

I've got a dozen white ones (no kiddin'!) in both bass and guitar versions. They are typical dye sub shirts in that after about a dozen washings they are faded. But I've had no problems with shrinkage because I wash them in cold water and dry them on low.

No problems here.... wash them in cold water and either dry them on a hanger or better still, flat on a clothes horse.... avoids neckline 'ripple'. I don't use a clothes dryer - call me 'old fashioned'.

Clothes dryer? What's that?

It's a device that was designed to shorten the life of clothes. The manufacturers and the clothing industry are in bed together.... it's a conspiracy, I tell you!!
