Z4 Custom Hoodies

santov · 03-01-2012, 08:43 PM

How many people are interested in getting some hoodies going? In case you missed it I had lots of fun making polo shirts for several people (see thread).

I have one ratty hoodie that I've been wearing alot with top down in colder weather. Since my scalp burns really easy (I have no clue why) I wear the hoodie up with sunglasses. I'm sure I look like a bank robber, but I'm comfy day or night in the cold weather.

I've looked at some local shops trying to find a good variety of colors and sizes, but haven't had any luck. My last resort was online, but I stumbled across a store who has a pretty good variety.

There's a few things I wanted in the hoodie-

Around $20 (a $40 hoodie makes for a $60 embroidery garment, which is hard to justify)
Medium weight
NOT lined or layered on the inside so I can embroider as-is without having to sew panels closed
Several colors and sizes
decent quality

Here's what I found-

And here's the logos I've been using as of late in either coupe or roadster flavor:

Give me some feedback and let me know who's interested.

I'd be in if it was a pullover ... not keen on zip-ups myself.

also, can we use the zpost icon? or is that a no no?

nmulax · 03-01-2012, 09:10 PM

I'm interested - I prefer zip-ups.

jatmallet · 03-01-2012, 09:31 PM

I'm interested, count me for a vote for pull overs, and also can we incorporate the m logo with the roaddie as opposed to the coup?

Thanks! Great idea by the way.

Do you guys mean pull over sweaters with no hood, half zip up, or pullover with no zipper WITH hood?

I'll check out the other styles and give some more options...

beta · 03-01-2012, 10:10 PM

Would it be possible to do a logo based off this?

Pull over with hood, no zipper.

Not really. It wouldn't scale down cleanly to being 5" wide. I could make something up to 7" wide, but it would still look like crap at that size.

This is a nice pullover. I dig the one big pocket instead of the two small useless pockets. I like the Graphite (charcoal) color too.

007MCoupe · 03-01-2012, 11:38 PM

I'd be in for the one above with a Z4 ///M logo or something. no zip/one pocket = win

bucko521 · 03-01-2012, 11:58 PM

Subscribed..... loved the last shirts you made for me...so will watch this thread!

Can you do a coupe silhouette with the ///MCoupe graphic from the attached picture?

I agree.... sounds like a group buy to me!

SANTOV ... Can you give us a mock up of both the coupe and roadster versions?

Thanks,

partlowr · 03-02-2012, 09:44 AM

I would be in but I prefer the zip up style hoodie.

Ha! You threw me for a loop with that "coupe" font. The picture you posted wasn't enough detail to enlarge clearly but I did some hunting and found a font pretty damn close, and in my opinion looks better since the letters connect at the bottom instead of top and bottom (looks like emblem versus handwriting).

I think the top one is the closest match and looks the best.

santov · 03-02-2012, 06:04 PM

Wow this ended up being a ton of options/variables!! I thought I'd play with logos for a few minutes and realized I've spent a few hours tinkering with sizes. Here's what I've got so far:

You can pick pull over hoodie or full zip-up hoodie
There's a couple of colors in each style
All sizes are available (right now)
You can pick roadster or coupe
You can pick a logo > Z4, Z ///M, ///M or ///M coupe (I think roadster is too much to fit within the logo.

Full zippered hoodie-
Pepper-

Sandstone

Pull over hoodie-
Graphite-

Navy-

Roadster or Coupe

Logos

Tell me what you guys think! I'd like to get an order count so I can predict shipping charges from the supplier...

I'm in for a Roadster //M version. Personally, I like the rear view line drawing.
