Good afternoon/evening/morning y'all!



Does anyone have a ridiculously high resolution version of this image and writing? ...the famous 'Peace Through Superior Firepower' T-Shirt worn by Frost? I know there's a few places online that sell this t-shirt but majority aren't fully accurate and I need to do this special thing for a friend. If someone does can they either upload it here, DM or give me a good link? (Unless that's against Forum Rules...)

"Man, I'm telling you, I got a bad feeling about this drop"

Thanks muchly

chefs creations sell screen accurate shirts

I don’t see anything about T-shirts in the ‘Colonial Marine’ section on their website.

Facebook page. I bought his Frost and Drake replica tees.

I have one which came from ‘Last Exit to Nowhere’ but they don’t do it any more… it’s print style is brilliant and it’s worn very well…

'Septic', think (https://www.neonrumors.com/products/pea ... er-t-shirt) that's the best one I could find too. It's pretty good, best by a long shot. Gun still seems to have quite a droop, like they've taken a screen shot of the Prop shirt and cleaned it up. I've done that with the photo/attachement from the original post and it looks a little like this...



Droops in some key places, barrel etc., kind of arcs from left to right. So, I spent some time trying to fix it. Here's the result:



Going to get some printed up, will post the result once I have them back!

Thank you Willie. I was going to suggest to use the original sketch as well.

danschmitz, you can see that the front block on your version is still "squished" since it seems to be based on the photograph of the Frost t-shirt. I believe the only way to get a "clean", non-distorted version of the shirt is to use the hand-drawn sketch as a basis.

Cheers!

Please, let us know when you get this shirt figured out. We are all interested in getting on I think.

The ‘paint’ look print which ages and distresses is the best way to go… i can’t think of the correct terminology but any kind of shiny print just doesn’t seem to look ‘right’

youre talking about the difference between a "heat transfer" or "sublimation" VS a "silk screen" or "screen print". heat transfers are garbage. You usually want two hits with screen printing ink, dried in between hits" with this one you can easily get away with one hit, it will be cheap, since its black ink on light color. One hit will also distress a lot better. Youll pay once for them to make the screen, then ask them to keep it on hand for future use. Stay away feom anything online, i guarantee there are a least two struggling talented screen printers in your town that will make that shirt quick and easy. I was gonna do a run of them but figured anybody could just snag one locally easy enough. if enough people wanted me to do an accurate run I would. Ive been screenprinting since I was a teenager.

I think a ton of people would buy an accurate shirt, myself included.
It would really have to be screen accurate though, there are too many shirts out there that are off, by varying degrees.

Cheers!

P.S: Oh, and it‘d have to be a nice, soft shirt. I loved the „last exit to nowhere“ shirt, but it was so itchy and stiff that I practically never wore it.

I put up an interest thread a few years ago and I think two people ever responded. Maybe I could do a one-off and give it away, then see how many people drool over it. or maybe people could pass it around and give feedback. I dont wanna cut into anyones business though if someone has plans to do it. I hear chef makes great ones.

Exactly this. I spent a small fortune researching heather grey t-shirts for my USCM run - some are way too thick and itchy. Wanted to get something a little thinner and had that high school gym class feel. Think these were them:

District DT104 District ® Perfect Weight ® Tee in "Heathered Steel"

I'll double check.

I believe I remember that thread, I actually looked actively for it at one time, but it seemed to have vanished. I think it would need to start out as some sort of research thread to nail the design (and the shirt fabric etc.) before it could become a sale thread. But I bet people would contribute if someone started such a thread (or more exactly: would take it upon themselves to create the ultimative shirt).


Oh, and Willie: sounds great, I hate itchy shirts, especially if it‘s meant for more of a sports use. Should be nice and soft and light.


Cheers!

honestly I have it all down, as a screen printer it's pretty obvious. the blend and knit type. theres really nothing hard to figure out.

I’m interested. My LETN tee is so soft and worn in its perfect for trashing under some BDUs and armour but it’s honestly past it…

Willie, thanks for the picture. That's awesome, and haven't seen it anywhere else. Is this the highest res you could find of it? I had another look and found this image again, but still at low quality.

I'm not sure if it's the same image used on the shirt though... it looks like a lot of detail missing on the lower section and also looks like the entire front has been redrawn and placed over the original image, probably by the original artist. Is it a Cameron sketch?

Haven't got the shirt yet, will upload when I do.

Can anyone upload the Chef one here?
