Jenny Ewing Shirts- Ready to order

[Running Mommy]

Ok, I decided to start a new thread since the other one was becoming a bit large.. But if you get a chance check out the most recent post from Jenny's sister on that thread. It makes me cry to think what that family is going through.
So after speaking with Jenny's sis and getting input from the family this is what will be on the shirts:

A woman should never be afraid to ride alone.

In memory of Jenny Ewing *Proverbs 31: 10-31*

"Her children rise up and call her blessed."

This is what we would like to be on there. If that is a problem let me know. I appreciate you so much more than I can express. I am the "little sister" even at 38, and it is hard to find the right things to do to help my family get through this time. That was usually Jenny's job.
Stay safe

I will work with the printer tomorrow to get this in a nice font and looking good. I want this shirt to be classy and for people to really notice it, so they may ask, and we may bring awareness.

The printer has told me that he has no problems with doing these in multiple colors (within reason of course) so we have the following options:
All fabric is cool max
White regular neck unisex shirt with purple text
black regular neck unisex shirt with purple text
pink v neck womens shirt with text in another color- not sure what will look best yet so will check with the rep. I'd say white but that may blend in too much.
light blue v neck womens shirt again with text in a contrasting color.

Here is the website so you can check them out:

http://www.coolmaxclothing.com/shortsleevecrew.html

There is a size chart on there as well.

What I need from all of you is what size, and color you would like so that I know how many of each to order. I'm going to order a few extra of each so we should have plenty, but I want to get a rough estimate.
I'll deal with the $$ and all that later. I just need some rough numbers for now.
Thanks girls!
Denise
Oh- and for those that didn't see the other email, the cost is 15.00 per shirt. I'm thinking shipping should be less than 3.00 as I can ship them in an envelope. But I would like to be able to send some $$ to the Sandy Springs Mission ( the familys choice of where they would like $$ to go)so I would ask that you pay either 20.00 or 25.00 when the time comes. ALL extra $$ will go to the Mission. I am doing this because I feel called to, and I want to see the Mission get as much $$ as possible.

[Running Mommy]

P.S. if we have any budding graphic artist's out there I would LOVE help coming up with the graphic!! I can see it in my head, but I'm no grpahic artist that's for sure!!

[Lise]

Bless you, RM, thanks for doing this. Do you want us to post our size preferences here, or PM you? L.

[Running Mommy]

either way. I'll keep tabs both ways.

[Bikingmomof3]

What about purple lettering of the pink shirts? Since she loved to wear purple and it would be visable on the pink. Just a thought.

[Lise]

either way. I'll keep tabs both ways.
OK, then, I'd like one v-neck blue in large, and one regular white in extra large.

[Denise223]

Hi RM -

God Bless You for doing this.. I have thought about Jennifer & her family every single day ...

Is there any way of perhaps putting the photo of Jenny with her bike on the shirt?

Will the sizes be S - XL only, or are they going to make XXL & 3XL as well?

I checked the coolmax site & the prices for the larger sizes (over XL) will be more money.

Here's the women's sizing guide from the coolmax link.

Women sizing guide:
Small- Size 4-6
Medium- Size 8-10
Large- Size12-14
XL- Size 16-18
XXL- Size 20

Have a peaceful day!

Denise

[salsabike]

Thank you so much for coordinating this. I'd like a blue V-neck in XL.

I think purple text would look very good on both the pink and blue V-necks.

[light_sabe_r]

Running Mummy I have a bit of experience with Text placement and design

I'd be happy to offer my services. ^_^ Just tell me what the company needs and how you see it and I'll see what I can do. :D

[Selkie]

Hi --


I'd like the following:

Pink Ladies -- Size small
Blue Ladies -- Size small
Black Unisex -- Size XL


Thanks!

[Nanci]

I like purple text on pink, too. Are you going to have them printed on the back so people can see it on the bike?

[uforgot]

It's really terrific that you are pulling this all together for us! I'd like a blue in Large. Thanks again!

[Nanci]

What graphic are you seeing in your head?

[Bad JuJu]

This is really coming together wonderfully, thanks to your dedication, RM--big thanks.

I'd like two shirts:
women's v-neck, blue, XL
unisex black, L

At first, I was a tiny bit uncomfortable with the bible verse, since I'm not a Christian. (Please understand, I'm not proselytizing here--just sharing.) But this whole thing isn't for me, it's for Jenny and her family, so the verse seems right, and it is a nice sentiment, regardless of the source.

[Lise]

Are you going to have them printed on the back so people can see it on the bike?
Good point!

[Nanci]

Like I have this TOSRV T-shirt that has a small something in the pocket area, and a huge graphic of multiple cyclists on the back. It's probably my favorite shirt. My Horse Farm Hundred has a big horse on one of those old bicycles on the back.

[Brina]

brown lettering shows up really nicely on pink shirts. just an idea.

I would like a pink shirt v-neck, size large - hm, make that xl, need it for the shoulders.

thanks for organizing this. you have a good heart.

[latelatebloomer]

You are so wonderful to do this - thanks and a big hug -

I'll take a white XL

[jeannierides]

Thanks, RM... you are a good person. I'll take a pink v-neck in medium.

[DrBee]

I also vote for purple text on the pink and blue shirts. If not purple, then black. I agree with Nanci - something small on the front and the rest on the back.

[SouthernBelle]

I would like a blue in the medium.

Why not just put the wording on the back? I'm assuming cost is an issue for front and back, so just go with the back.

[dobielover1]

I'd just like to say that i agree with the others, you're doing a wonderful thing. And her sister's reply made me cry also.

I'd like a pink in an extra large.

[mtbdarby]

vneck pink, medium. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. (I like the idea of brown letter on pink ;) )

[redhot3368]

Thanks soooo much for doing this!!

I would like a pink in small and a light blue in small.

Thanks again!!!!
Karen

[Bikingmomof3]

Geesh, I cannot decide which will fit my bust-as usual, but decided to error on too big, I can always layer.

I would like a Pink v-neck size Medium

Thank You for doing this!!! I would buy more, but um, the new bikes set me back this month. If you wind up with extras let us know, okay?

Thanks for doing this!

[pooks]

Did the rep say that the purple would show up on the black? I have a purple tee with black on it, and the black hardly shows up at all....

[PAP103]

I like the idea of the wording on the back too, maybe with a small something on the front pocket area.

I'd like a pink V-neck size XL.

This is a wonderful thing!
Patty

[Nokomis]

Women's V-neck light blue, Large please

[DDH]

Blue Womens V-neck size XL for me please. I think the purple lettering would look fine on the blue or pink shirts.

What you are doing is wonderful.

[Jo-n-NY]

Although I am sickened by what happened to Jenny, I think this is such a wonderful idea and really appreciate you putting this together.

I will take 2 shirts:

1 black size large
1 lt blue size small

there might be a third for a friend of mine. I will have to let you know.

Thank you
~JoAnn

[Running Mommy]

Ok, it looks like everyone wants the printing on the back of the shirts, so I'll do that. Not sure about doing two sided printing, but I'm sure it would be more. The quote I got was for single color single side graphics. But I will ask. I think it would be cool to have "riding for Jenny" on the front in small font.
As for the extra $$ for the large sizes? I never thought about, and I didn't see anything on there, but maybe I'm just not seeing it?? I know alot of places do charge a few dollars more for the large sizes, but I can just adjust for that when the time comes.
The family has requested that I order 73 shirts for them, so we will have a rather large order.
I'm going to go for a ride now and will work on the order later this morning. It looks like the pink and blue vnecks are popular!
Thanks all!
Denise
One last thing. I have gotten a couple of mesages regarding the bible verse, and I kinda expected that. This is the way I stand on it, and I hope you can respect this.
I know we are a very diverse group here,and some may feel uncomfortable with a christian bible verse on their shirt. I totally respect that and understand. However, from my discussionss with her family Jenny was a very spiritual person, and this is part of who she was. To not include the bible verse on the shirt we would be leaving off a big part of her. The family has requested it, and I have included it on the shirt. It is in a smaller font under her name, and I think looks very nice. The quote " A Woman should never be afraid to ride alone" is the focal point, and then "In Memory of Jenny Ewing" in slightly smaller font, then the proverb under that.
Hopefully I can get the coolmax rep to email me a mock up so that I can pass it on for ya'll to see.
So like I said, if you do not wish to purchase a shirt I totally understand. Perhaps you could send a donation to your favorite charity in Jenny's name.
Thanks again.
Denise

[GLC1968]

Thanks for doing this all, RM!

Can you put me down for a Pink V-neck in a medium? Thanks!

[Denise223]

Hi RM:

Here's the coolmax link for sizes larger than XL that quote the fee.

http://www.coolmaxclothing.com/XXLsize.html

If there is anything I can do to help you Denise, please do not hesitate to ask.

Have a peaceful day.

Denise

[Pedal Wench]

I posted this on the Sorella site (my women's cycling club in Atlanta). We have about 85 members, so I'll try to coordinate that order and consolodate. It might be big. You just never know.

Thanks for doing all of this.

[xeney]

Put me down for a pink v-neck in medium, please.

[pooks]

You're doing a fabulous job, RunningMommy. Thank you for being point on this -- it's a big job.

I do understand why some who are neither Jewish nor Christian might find the scripture awkward. But I agree that this is to honor Jenny and who she was.

I want an XL, probably black -- but I'm waiting until you know for sure about the print on it. I'm worried the purple won't show up on black. After you've confirmed that it will, will you post back here? Thanks!

[jenny's sister]

Here is the thing: I don't care if you are Muslim, Christian, Atheist, Jewish, or just plain goofy. Look up the Scripture. Consider it just a good piece of writing if you have to. I can't think of a single woman who would not want to be remembered in this way. "Her children will call her blessed" is awesome, but keep going to the end. Every sentence of 10 -31 describes her perfectly. Things I can't even begin to convey in words. SO, I understand that not all people are Christians, but this is about Jenny and there are NO better words to describe her than this. I really do understand though. I thank you all for your compassion in this matter. You all continue to amaze me. I never knew what a true "community" cyclists are. Stay safe!

[Cindyloo]

I would like a women's blue v-neck in XL.

[Cindyloo]

Please make that a Large, I should have looked at the sizing chart first!:rolleyes:

[Running Mommy]

Thanks Denise 223! I totally missed that!
Ok so for the larger sizes I would say just add the extra couple of dollars on and we'll be good. I'm not too worried about a couple of bucks. I just want to be sure we can make some $$ for the Sandy Springs Mission.

[GLC1968]

RM - can you change mine to a pink V-neck in a small (instead of a medium)? Thanks!

Oh, and I'm not Christian (or any religion for that matter) and while I hesitated when I saw the inclusion of scripture, I also realized that this shirt is not about me...it's about Jenny. I will wear it not to make a statement about who I am, but to make one about who she was and what she means to all of us in the cycling community. :)

[SJCzar]

I would like a medium pink V-neck and a medium blue v-neck.

[pooks]

Not to keep it going -- but it's actually not a Christian scripture -- it's Old Testament, from the Jewish book of Proverbs. So while Christians consider it ours, too -- it existed about 5,000 years before the New Testament came along!

It's Judeo-Christian.

And I can only hope that my kids would feel that way about me. It is a beautiful image of a mother.

[Triskeliongirl]

Put me down for 1 large women's v-neck pink with purple lettering. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spokewench]

Thanks so much for organizing this and getting the family's input - it is so important!

I would take two shirts

[Pedal Wench]

So far, 6 from my group, but I'll just give you one total as soon as it looks like everyone who wants one has decided. So, wait until I have a total count - I posted it on two different groups.

Thanks!

[bikerHen]

I would like to spread the word as well. Put me down for a XL v-neck in blue. Thanks for your commitment for this cause. bikerHen

[mtkitchn]

One woman's pink size small, please.

[Tri Girl]

Please put me down for a small blue v-neck.
Thanks, Denise, for doing all this. Your dedication to Jenny's memory is very inspiring!!! Big hugs!

[btchance]

I would love to have a small V-necked shirt in pink. Thank you for doing this, especially since it has affected so many of us.

[WrensMom]

I would like a pink one in size XL (I guess I will err on the side of too big rather than too small, just in case).

Thanks for all of your effort with this!:)

[chickwhorips]

i would like a pink shirt size small.

thank you for all the hard work your doing on this project.

[Pedal Wench]

So far, 6 from my group, but I'll just give you one total as soon as it looks like everyone who wants one has decided. So, wait until I have a total count - I posted it on two different groups.

Thanks!

Per Paige's request, I'm going to handle my group's order seperate from this, so cancel those 6, and I'll put in a local Atlanta order.

I'll need the contact info so I can place my order directly with the coolmax guy.

[wavedancer]

Thanks so much for doing all this. I continue to be amazed by the women on this site. I would be proud to wear a shirt in Jenny's memory:

one small pink v-neck, please.

Thanks,
Linda

[Running Mommy]

Please see the email from Craig at coolmax shirts below. Those that wanted a blue XL v neck will need to give me choice # 2, also do we want to add front text for an extra 1.00 per shirt?
If we do my suggestion would be "I'm riding for Jenny" or "In memory of Jenny" or something of that sort. But it's totally up to ya'll!
Anyway, here is Craigs email:

This should be fine. It's an extra $ 1 to add screenprinting on the front as well so that would make it $16. We are discontinuing our blue women v-neck and our out of xl. We have the other sizes in stock so you'll need to swap these Xl out to another color. We don't have XS. We do have 2xl and 3xl. Each 2xl shirt will be $1.50 more and each 3xl is $3 more. Let me know when you have the final numbers and your preference. Thanks

[Running Mommy]

I want to get the order in tomorrow since it takes about 3 weeks to get them so if you are interested please speak up.
And also for all others, don't forget I need your thoughts on whether we should put some small text on the front for a dollar extra per shirt.
Thanks again!
Denise

[pooks]

Okay -- I want an XL white with purple lettering and I don't mind the extra buck for something on the front.

I like "I'm riding for Jenny."

[tulip]

Last minute, as usual.

Medium v-neck in pink, please.

Thanks so much!

[tsali911]

Please order me a medium pink v-neck.

You guys are amazing! Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this memorial. I know that Jenny's family will never forget this.

I just love being a part of this diverse cycling community:D .

[Denise223]

Hi!

I'd like to order: One LARGE white T-Shirt w/purple lettering &
One XL pink V-Neck T-Shirt w/purple lettering

I like "I'm riding for Jenny".

Thanks so much RM for everything you're doing :)!

Peace & Love, Denise

[fatbottomedgurl]

I'll take a pink medium v-neck!

Excuse my edits, I'm blonder than I pay to be!

[snowtulip]

RM, thanks for all of your hard work!

I will take a pink medium (I love the brown print idea, but whatever works).

[Trekhawk]

Ill take a medium V in blue. Thanks :)

[Tiffanie]

I'd like a pink v-neck in medium please.

[greenmachine]

RM, You're awesome for taking this on!

I would like a Blue v-neck in Medium please.

Thank You!!

[Patti37]

Women's V-neck blue, Large please.

As for the biblical verse...it is not something I would put on a shirt I was designing for myself. However, this is a memorial to a woman whose religious and spiritual beliefs were important...and important to her family. I feel we need to honor that.

[Melissa36]

I would like to order one medium white with purple lettering. Thank you for putting all of this together!

[Tuckervill]

If it's not too late, I'd like to get a Pink v-neck in size XL. Purple or brown ink is fine with me.

My preference is something small on the front over the left chest, but shouldn't we put her last name, too?

And I'm curious to see the art when it's ready!

Karen

[Tri Girl]

I like "In memory of Jenny" for the front, or simply "Remembering Jenny"

I ride for me, but I'm wearing the shirt in memory of her.

[Nanci]

One pink XL V-neck, please.

[Brina]

I really like, "i'm riding for Jenny" for the front.

[cusepack]

RM - my sincerest thank you for organizing this for the forum. You have a beautiful and caring spirit.

I would like a Black Unisex, size L.

Kathryn

[Bad JuJu]

Updated order, since I just read that the blue XL is out of stock:

Pink v-neck, XL
Black unisex, L

Thanks again for doing this!

[Bad JuJu]

I'd also like one black unisex XL, if it's not too late.
Thanks again. Can't wait to see the shirts!

[Jo-n-NY]

I was running through the posts that are after mine. I ordered a small v-neck blue (also a large uni-black). Did I read correct that the blue is discontinued, if so I will take a small black along with the lg black. Either saying in the front is fine with me.

Hope I am not confusing all of this.

~ JoAnn

[Ninabike]

Denise, Hope I am not too late. I would like a medium in black.

Thanks,
Nina

[profàvélo]

Looks like I missed the deadline...but if there are any extra pink medium V-necks, you can put my name on one.
