Modern Vespa

Here's me in my shirt, thanks robotribe. In this photo I can't blame Helmet Hair cuz my hair is normally crazy. I dig my shirt! I agree with Rae, the women's shirts do run on the smaller side. I'm happy with mine. To give you ladies an idea on the fit, I'm 5'6" and my shirt is a Large. robotribe, I see your banner ad upper right for more T-shirts and I may have to get myself some more. Great shirts man!

Lookin' good! That ink adds to the flavor. Looking at your set-up behind you, I have to ask: are you an editor or musician/arranger? Thanks for checking out the other shirts, too.

BTW, about those other shirts of mine, I just launched the business. For those who haven't checked them out, I invite all of you to do so. There of a similar vein but not modenvespa.com specific but scooter focused.

Also, I'm all out of Men's Design #1 in XL. As far as another run of design #1 goes, I'm not yet at the number of requests needed to do another run. I need at least 25. The # of requests is only half way there. I've got many design #2 shirts left.

I still do want a men's medium in shirt design #1. Add me to the list if you haven't already.

Dude, those Robotribe designs are really sweet! I love the "Less Is More" T, but as a guy, I don't want to wear a scooter shirt that has a chick with a ponytail on it (OK, I'm just not secure enough for that yet). Can we look for the same design with a dude on it for the Men's shirts and the girl for the Ladies?

Seriously though, they are really cool designs!

I sent my order in via email last Thursday (Aug 7th) and still haven't received a reply for paypal payment. Can you please advise?

Thanks,

Will the next run have the wasp design on brown shirt for men? I like that color combo so much better. A green like in the pic above would look great too.

Here's the plan. If and when I get at least 25 requests for this design, I want to do poll to choose one color shirt. I'll do several color combos. But, I'm still waiting for those other requests to get us to 25.

dennis, my mom used to delight in announcing that her Democratic ballots cancelled out my father's vote. So in that spirit....

Let it hereby be known that, should the color for a 2nd run of Design #1 be Charcoal Gray, I'm in! 8)

Yes, but not for the gals--

Can these shirts be had with the graphic on the back instead of the front? I love the art... just need it on the back of the shirt.

Let me know... thanks!

Hi, folks. Just so you all know what the situation is, I've got a TON of shirts left over in the limited sizes and colors already mentioned. In other words, I don't have the motivation currently to create more when I'm sitting on as many MV shirts as I still am.

Sorry. Wish I could get everyone exactly what they wanted.

WARNING: If you use a different email address to order than what's used for your PayPal account/transaction to communicate with me, there's a strong possibility that your order will be lost or delayed.

STEP 2
You'll receive an itemized invoice from me through PayPal. This means that I have the shirt you want in stock and it's yours to buy. PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HOURS. There's a limited stock on hand and even though I'll have more produced in the future should they run out, I can't reserve shirts. So, only order if you're ready to pay through PayPal.

Those of you paying through check via PayPal, I'm sorry but I'll have to wait till PayPal let's me know the check cleared before I ship your shirt. I will, however, hold on to your shirt once PayPal let's me know you've paid a check to them and they're waiting for it to clear. This is the ONLY instance where I'll hold a shirt. If PayPal comes back to me letting me know the check hasn't cleared or there are insufficient funds, I'll have to put the shirt(s) you wanted back into inventory. No exceptions.

SHIPPING & HANDLING INFORMATION
Shipping and handling fees are as follows:

Within N. America:
$5/shirt via USPS (includes delivery confirmation)
add $2 for each additional shirt

Outside N. America:
$10/shirt via USPS
add $3 for each additional shirt

I will ship out packages twice a week and send you an email letting you know your package has shipped. I will include tracking with all orders, however, I cannot guarantee delivery times.

FAQ
Can I get the shirts in different colors than those shown?
No. It's just not practical for me and it adds additional challenge to tracking inventory. I did however, take a stab at least at offering some variation between shirt colors for Design #1. This is especially important for couples who don't want to look like they're attending a Sadie Hawkins high school dance, although, that option is available in Design #2. See? I think of everything.

Why are 2XL and 3XL shirts more expensive?
Those size shirts are $1.50 and $2.00 more respectively from the wholesale supplier. Rather than passing that extra cost on to everyone else, it seemed fair to just add it.

Can I pay using a check or money order instead of PayPal?
Sorry, but no. There are far too many issues with paying by personal check on my end and I want a very transparent and trackable purchase transaction which PayPal provides.

Can I pay using a major credit card?
Yes, you can, but only through PayPal.

Why are the shipping charges so high?
Postage fees have increased, but also, the fees are what they are because I'm offering my services outside of my normal routine, which includes a family and full time job. The time it takes to receive orders, fold shirts, package, print invoices, take packages to the postal office and email folks is valuable to me. Also, packaging materials cost money too. Lastly, the fuel it takes for that trip to the post office counts for something too. I learned the hard way last year that sometimes a Vespa just isn't practical transportation for carrying 30+ packages at a time to the post office.

Would you donate a shirt to my club raffle event?
Sorry, but no. I have no idea what demand will be like for these shirts and can't reserve a shirt as a donation if someone wants to buy it.

Are these shirts only available for a limited time?
No, however, availability at any given moment is limited to stock on hand. Also, they may eventually stop being produced if demand goes down. Put it this way, the more I produce at a time, the more realistic and economically feasible it is. The fewer I have produced, the more expensive it gets to do so. The minimum number of shirts I can have produced at a time is 25, and that's at a significantly higher cost per unit. So, the real answer is that they'll be available to purchase for as long as there's enough demand out there.

I don't like my shirt, OR my shirt doesn't fit and I want a different size.
I will give refunds via PayPal for any unworn, unwashed and undamaged shirts, minus the original shipping fees. Believe me, a washed shirt is pretty easy to spot so I will be looking out for that. I will do my best to exchange a returned shirt should you want a different size, but can't guarantee availability. The best way to avoid any of these scenarios is to look at the designs and sizing information very carefully before you order.

When will you start shipping shirts?
Immediately.

I live in So. Cal. Can we hook up to get my shirt so I can save on shipping fees?
Again, sorry but no. My weekends are as free as a Gitmo prisoner. Enough said. Plus, I'm really really shy.

Will wearing these shirts make me more attractive?
Definitely, but most likely for all the wrong reasons.

Do these shirts quality as protective riding gear?
They protect against poor taste, such as any other shirt you may have chosen to wear instead. However, the shirt offers as much impact resistance as a wet noodle and will shred should you find your body being dragged across a paved road.

Will different Modern Vespa shirts be offered in the future?
I hope so.

I got my 2 shirts a few days ago and they are excellent. I am 5'7 and about 140lbs. I wear a 36C/D. I am not a stick but I wear a size 6-8 in pants and a womans medium. But most shirts are made for juniors and as is the case here. I normaly buy a large or Xl from target, old navy abercrombie etc. The WOMANS xl fits me perfect. It is slightly loose around the belly but not baggy and not tight. Comfortable, and shows your curves. It fits just right across the chest and has some length to it. It looks cute bunched up on the bottom with a long tank top underneath. I don't know anyone who pulls their shirts down straight anyway, but if you did it would touch your thigh. For another refrence, I also bought a mens large. This is a bit big I usually wear a medium. I would say they are true to size for the mens shirts.
