We will be going with a hoodie by Independent Trading Company (IND4000Z (http://www.independenttradingco.com/collections/mens1-all/products/copy-of-mens-independent-pullover-hooded-sweatshirt))
"Men's zip hood made with premium heavyweight fabric, generous spec and quality construction. Fleece lined hood, heavy gauge round drawcord with nickel eyelets, #5 nickel kissing zipper, 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband." Construction is 80% cotton and 20% poly, so there will be some shrinkage. Of note though is that the fit on these is oversize, so you should be good with your standard size - it will be a loose fit.
The design:
I am going to keep this simple and to the point. I will be doing the hoodies in black with a logo on the front left and back.
Here is a mock-up: (rear logo is done in Special Select font with black print on the black hoodie - shown in just off black to be visible for mock-up)

Update
Pricing:
Ok, finishing up the orders at 47. I just put everything in my payment spreadsheet and came up with a deficit. I royally screwed up, my estimate failed to take into account sales tax for California.
Final pricing including sales tax and the paypal fees are as follows.
XS-XL: Base price of $31 x 8%= $33.48. plus paypal of 3% = $34.48
2XL: Base price of $34 x 8% = $36.72. plus paypal of 3% = $37.82
3XL-5XL: Base price of $39 x 8% = $42.12. plus paypal of 3% = $43.38
I am a not a business, I need the orders to be payed as goods with the additional paypal fee since I didn't add any profit in this. These are the base prices. I will be paying the same amount for mine.
I apologize for the error, and if this causes any issues and you need to cancel your order, please let me know so I can remove you from the list.
Shipping will be on an order to order basis based on location and there will be a 3% paypal fee and an optional 3% donation to GH.

No worries just as long as it gets done.
Besides this is going to be made in the USA hence you need to wait for the traditional cold to arrive when it comes to convincing people to part with their money for clothing (don't know why that is so).

We are currently at 14 orders with an MOQ of 54. I am going to contact my shop and see what the pricing would be on a lower MOQ (this was the suggested minimum order and that the cost would go up significantly from here). We will see.

Post by: Badwrench on Wed, 16 July 2014, 19:25:05
I also wanted to give a quick heads up to those that are outside the US. I went to the post office to get shipping quotes based on the weights of the hoodies that I got from the manufacturer. These things are very heavy and as a result are going to be pricey to ship. I will be covering all materials and only charging actual shipping rates. As of now, the best quote to ship a large international is $26 ($20 for Canada).
If anyone has any suggestions for cheaper shipping options, let me know. I was planning on shipping in large tyvek clothing envelopes so that the added weight is minimal and they are mostly weather-proof.
Here are the weights of the units based on size:

Post by: Badwrench on Fri, 18 July 2014, 10:01:02
I have yet to order but it looks like I'll have a while for MOQ.
Il'l try to take my measurements this weekend.
Yeah, no worries.
I am working with the screen shop to try to lower the MOQ without raising the price.
One option is to exchange the front logo for a transfer. This would allow the front logo to be made separately in much lower quantities and would completely remove 4 screens from the production (which would lower the setup costs). The main problem with that being that the "keyboard enthusiasts" under the key logo would either need to be removed from the design or have a black outline. One really cool bonus to this option would be that I would be able to order additional garments in the future (doesn't even have to be a hoodie) and have almost no setup cost.
Post by: taylordcraig on Fri, 18 July 2014, 12:03:21
How bad would the outline be? Like how visible against the black?
Post by: CPTBadAss on Fri, 18 July 2014, 12:07:51
Post by: Badwrench on Fri, 18 July 2014, 13:07:11
I think I could live without "keyboard enthusiasts" but what does everyone else think?
How bad would the outline be? Like how visible against the black?
It would basically be a satin black outline against the flat finish of the hoodie.
If we have to take something away, I could take away the back logo. I like the "Keyboard enthusiasts" but that could go I suppose. :(
As of right now, I am not planning on removing or changing anything. The retro logo is my favorite thing about the design. I just want to give us some options if things get dragged on too long. Still the middle of Summer, and with only a 1-2 week lead time, we are not rushed. The biggest hurdle right now is finding cheaper shipping options. $26 to ship a $31 hoodie is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

I would much prefer to have the back logo though. Just thought I'd put that out there.
This. If anything would have to be pruned out - lose the chest logo and keep the retro on the back.
...And my order incoming shortly. Once I figure out how to measure myself to see what size I need -- then decide if I want to get it baggy.

Post by: taylordcraig on Fri, 18 July 2014, 16:43:11
I don't think there was ever a mention of removing the back logo...
The only possible change discussed was to either have a black border around the white text or remove it altogether.
The black border sounds like it would be very unobtrusive. If I had some old band hoodies laying around still I could post a picture.
The reason for this is the idea of changing the method of printing to reduce costs.
I guess removing the back logo entirely would reduce the cost, but seems like a drastic and unneeded change.

Pretty much this. I am hoping that there will be no reason to reduce costs as I want to have produced the highest quality garment that I can. The mention of a change is only as a last resort (which will still give a quality garment), so that we can hit a lower MOQ without me having to raise the prices after a $ amount has already been posted.
Edit: Oh, and we are at 20 orders now :thumb:

I thought I missed this GB. How are these w.r.t. shrinkage? Order up a size recommended here?
I have one of these hoodies. They don't shrink that much. They will be baggy and huge on you. I wear a large and I think the hoodie might be closer to an extra large. Here are some fit pictures compared to the American Apparel hoodies (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59159.msg1355840#msg1355840). I consider the AA hoodies to be my favorite hoodies followed closely by the Independent Hoodies offered here.

Exactly. The supplier told me to recommend that people order their correct size and assume that it will still be a baggy fit. :thumb: These are not skinny hoodies.

I'm a big fan of pullover hoodies, so a pullover design would be more of a wallethack for me personally ;)
Still a tempting buy regardless. Even for just a run-of-the-mill zip-up hoodie, that price is pretty cheap!

How is this measured? Arm pit to arm pit? Or all the way around? Sizing on the chart is pit to pit.

Around your front, it's assumed backs are usually concave or relatively flat.

I will give this GB another week and then will start sending out notices for payment. There will be 2 rounds of payments: first round for the hoodies, and second for shipping. I am doing this so that I can get each individual order packed and ready to ship so that I only have to charge the exact amount of shipping. I don't have the budget for significant errors and don't want to overcharge. This is a non-profit group buy.
One note that the screen printer wanted to stress was that our design for the back logo will not be visible like the rendering. It will be nearly invisible until it catches a reflection (which is how I wanted it). I just want to make sure everyone is still on board for that.

I can order 2 in a couple hours so you can be #42. I just need to figure out what suez I need. I wear a 42 suit, large tshirts, sometimes an xtra large depending on the clothes.
Did we address shrinkage?
In the OP he mentions that they are mostly cotton and will shrink, however they are also over sized so whatever your 'normal' size is should still be okay.
Exactly this. The sizing on these is baggy. These are not the modern skinny style like the American Apparel hoodies. In addition, these things are very thick, you people on the east coast and in places that it actually drops below 60F will really like them (although, we Californians start bundling up when it drops under 70F, so it should still be good for us too). I was told by both the manufacturer and the screen printer to go off your measurements (true to size).

This is a group buy for a Black zippered hoodie.
Seems that a lot of people wanna get shot dead by overenthusiastic police and turkey bacons. ;D

HoffmanMyster is proxying 2 Hoodies for me. If a 3rd Hoodie doesn't increase the shipping costs exponentially we can work something out :thumb:

These are oversized for all sizes. Check out the pictures in my link. They don't shrink down much so you'll have a oversized and nice thick hoodie. It's probably my favorite hoodie that I own.

Also, after looking at the pictures, I am wondering if I should change the size I ordered, these look to be way oversized. I ordered a XXL, as I am about 6,2", 250 pounds, broad shoulders. Looks like an XL might suffice. What do you think, Badass?

I don't know what size you normally wear. I would say if you like your hoodies a little oversized, whatever your normal size world be fine. If you like a tighter hoodie, perhaps grab a size down. If you really don't know after that? Find a tape measure.

Honestly I think just to ship to a proxy, then ship again would cost more than $18.

So much excitement. Any idea what the timeframe will look like?
Invoicing will start tonight/this weekend.
I will collect for hopefully only a week or so (fingers crossed for quick payments).
Hopefully production will start on the week of the 10th and will last roughly 7 working days.
Once production is done and I have all the hoodies on hand, I will do all the packing so that I can get individual shipping costs for each package.
Once everything is packed and priced, I will send out a second round of invoices for shipping costs and send each package out as it is paid for.
As soon as all packages are shipped, I will pull together any remaining funds and add them to the 3% that some people are adding to their GB and donate it all to GH.
(Note: This is a best scenario, but I will keep everyone updated as to where things are and the progress of everything)

I will be closing this sale tonight. We are at 46 orders and I have updated the pricing in the OP to reflect the final pricing I just received from the vendor.
Ok, finishing up the orders at 47. I just put everything in my payment spreadsheet and came up with a deficit. I royally screwed up, my estimate failed to take into account sales tax for California.
Final pricing including sales tax and the paypal fees are as follows.
XS-XL: Base price of $31 x 8%= $33.48. plus paypal of 3% = $34.48
2XL: Base price of $34 x 8% = $36.72. plus paypal of 3% = $37.82
3XL-5XL: Base price of $39 x 8% = $42.12. plus paypal of 3% = $43.38
I am a not a business, I need the orders to be payed as goods with the additional paypal fee since I didn't add any profit in this. These are the base prices. I will be paying the same amount for mine.
I apologize for the error, and if this causes any issues and you need to cancel your order, please let me know so I can remove you from the list.

Thanks. I am covering shipping materials so there is really only tax and paypal fees. Single orders will be going in waterproof garment bags, while larger orders will be wrapped in a bag and then boxed (to keep them waterproof).
Remember that there will be a second invoice after production for actual shipping rates.
Edit: All invoices are out. If you did not receive one, please let me know asap, thanks.

I never got a response from cribbit. Final invoice was sent to the screen printer yesterday with the final numbers (46 hoodies) - just waiting for them to get the altered invoice back so I can pay it. Production should be roughly 10 days (including the ordering of the hoodies) from today as long as they get the invoice to me today.

Time table from here out is roughly 10 working days for production. Once I receive the hoodies, I will pack up each unit and get individual pricing for the shipping and send out a second round of invoices. As they are paid, I will be shipping.

The shipping materials were ordered this morning and should be here in a couple days. I have already started folding and getting everything ready for when they arrive so that I can get them turned around as fast as possible.
Stop making me more excited, it's not cool.

Hi Badwrench, I haven't seen an invoice for shipping (I'm not sure if you have sent it).
Sorry, I am still working on the international orders. I went to the post office today to confirm that I was calculating the correct price. The few international orders that I invoiced so far I had some issues with using Paypal for the shipping. As a result, I will be transferring the $$ to my account and paying the post office directly. I hope to have the rest of the orders invoiced by the end of this weekend.

Thanks :thumb:.
Quick update for everyone. The first few international shipments that have paid will be going out this weekend - Paypal is being slow transferring $$ to my account so that I can pay for shipment. The rest of the international orders will be invoiced by the end of the weekend as well. Sorry for the delay, it has been a very busy week.

Badwrench, I should have asked this before at some point but w/e. Any idea how well the print will hold up to being washed?
I asked the screen printer and they said it should be fine for washing. I also asked Independent and they said that part of what they designed this line for is to be screen printed on. I would recommend washing the hoodie inside out. Other than that, I will be washing mine this weekend and will update this thread after that. I don't plan on machine drying mine though - I prefer to hang dry jackets and sweatshirts. Growing up with a Mom that washed everything in hot water and nuked the crap out of everything in the dryer resulted in most of my clothes being destroyed and shrunk in short order and now I am overly paranoid.

I wash mine inside out, cold, low heat for dry. I've had that Black Dahlia Murder hoodie, screen printed on an Independent hoodie, for years without any issues.
If you're truly paranoid, you can handwash it but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

This week has been very hectic with much burning of the candle at both ends. As a result, I was unable to get the international orders that have paid shipped yet. I will have them in the mail on Monday for sure. I am sorry about the delay, but will hopefully get the rest of the international shipments invoiced by the end of the weekend and in the mail shortly after they are paid (will have to wait for Paypal transfer to my bank since I can't pay for large packages with Paypal for international).

Just paid for shipping. Don't worry about rushing to get mine out, weather forecast for today is 110+ :cool:
I still want to get it on its way. Shipping in the next day or so. :thumb:
Paid my invoice. Wooo! Can't wait :p
On its way in the next day or 2 :thumb:
All invoices for shipping done except for naturehaze (pm'd for additional shipping info) and katushkin (for some reason there was no option in stamps.com for his country :confused: - taking it to the post office in the morning for exact shipping). Other than those 2, I will continue to ship as the invoices are paid - this week is much better work wise as we are winding down to a 2 week shutdown for Christmas.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and support :thumb:

You can post mine in the NEW year because everything regarding shipment to the arse-end of the world won't even move off your continent till the new year to begin with.
Hence enjoy your upcoming festivities and make sure you take time off to really thank your Mrs for helping you out here, very few women would ever waste their valuable time in sorting and packing their husband's gear. You've certainly found a keeper here hence spoil her rotten because she deserves it big time 8) .

My GF was in Las Vegas a couple months ago and saw someone in cpts SSK tshirt. She didn't say hi though because he was with a girl and she was with a group of girls; she thought it would be weird. :P

Also got mine today (here in Convict Town), the Mrs opened up the package thinking it's something she bought from the US but found my humongous black hoodie.
It's so big that the Mrs and her sister can comfortably stand inside it, zippered up to their necks. For me it's really big but the worst thing now is that she is asking what's "Geekhack" on the front hoodie label ........
