Into The Cow
The Cow you can wear is finally here, or at least is officially on its way -- just click the shirt. Available via pre-order for the next few weeks only, The Cowch Shirt comes in four colors:
- Black
- Forest Green
- Chocolate
- Navy
The color selection is only possible due to pre-ordering, which means while The Cowch may be available in limited quantities in the future, it will only be as a single shirt color. I want to keep the pre-order round as short as possible, as you guys have already been patient as hell.
Other things to know...
- Ordering and fulfillment will be handled by a friend of the site, Test Tube T-Shirts. I've known them for awhile and trust them, and they're the same crazies responsible for dismantling a Mini Mouse and throwing an iPod nano from a car.
- Paypal and major credit cards are accepted.
- It's available in Small through XXXXL, because some girls are bigger than others.
- If you order more than two shirts, free domestic USPS shipping.
- Internationals are welcome to order, because I love you too. The only caveat is that the free shipping on two or more shirts mentioned above doesn't apply, and some places can be problematic (Italy has already come up as a problem area economically, and is being worked on).
Please be aware there may be a few quirks if you're ordering from overseas, as there's a reason why a lot of places avoid it. If you are shipping to the UK or Australia or Sweden and shipping says $4, you've seen a quirk and will get contacted, but you'll be taken care of.
- If you compare the final design to the previous, you may notice a few tweaks and the additional color I mentioned. Enjoy.
Depending on how long you've been around, you've probably picked up that I don't push the donations or other things, and this won't be any different as it's just not my bag. If you happen to dig the shirt while wanting to support the site, that's great, but you won't be beaten over the head with it sans a few reminders when pre-ordering is wrapping up.

Some girl's mothers are bigger than other girls mothers.

Ok, I only see 4$ shipping. Couldn't find any way of telling them I lived outside the USA, so - I hope they'll contact me to say what I have to pay extra.. and not just take the money and ignore me :-)

Hey, Clint here. If you're an international order and you haven't gotten a reply from me about the International shipping, send me a ping me at service@testtubetshirts.com
Everyone who ordered internationally as of right now should've gotten an email from me about shipping. However, if you haven't, it's pretty easy:
1-2 shirts to Canada (and Mexico I presume) is an extra US$3.00, more* than 2 shirts is an extra US$4.00.
1-2 shirts to the Europe, Australia, South Africa, UK etc. is US$5 extra. More* than 2 shirts is an extra US$7.
So if you want to go ahead and send those extra shipping bits after your order, please go ahead. If you don't I'll just send you an email with the amount we need for Intl. shipping.
Sorry it's such a hassle, but Paypal makes this a little difficult! :)
* Nota Bene: When I say "more than 2 shirts" I'm talking within reason. If for some reason you want to order a lot of shirts (i.e. more than 5 or 6), just wait for me to reply to your order.

Just curious,
Is the cow sitting on a leather couch?
Gotta know.

Eek! only cotton/poly blend? 50/50 shirts are just nasty. Can't you offer us 100% cotton. I'll buy 2 if the issue is early wear.

Small black ordered.
Was very perplexed by the measurements - I suppose it is an American thing to halve (from a British perspective, anyway) chest measurements. Either that, or we're really fat and you guys are really skinny.
I wonder if I should order a brown one as well...
:P

Actually I think it's the other way around, so it's in their interest to make the figures look lower any way they can for the tubby US citizens. :P
Oh, I've ordered my shirt too. I could fit into a medium but I wasn't sure how much it would shrink. I've bought shirts from the US before that changed from a medium to a small with just a couple of washes.

Oooh, yes, shrinkage.
I can picture myself now, heading down Soho sporting a tight brown tee with a cow emblazoned across the front. Heads will turn, people will stare.
Glorious. :D








Sweet got mine ordered! ^_^
