This Fish t-shirts are going into production TODAY (or maybe tomorrow depending on procrastination techniques)! If you are interested in pre-ordering, please go here:
FAQ
1. Yes, they come in pink.
2. Yes, they ship out of the US
The price per shirt is $13.50 during the pre-order phase. After that, they’ll be $15.
Right now, we’re limited to baby t’s for the ladies and regular t’s for the gents. I know this doesn’t do much for our bosomy friends, but I’ll be adding sizes and variations later if there’s enough interest. (Size Large does accommodate a "C" sized chest, ladies)
Please note: These are the developed designs. That actual t’s should not vary much, if at all. If you don’t like them, please do not fill my comment box up with exactly why you don’t. It’s just too late for that. I don’t even have an Evil Customer Service Hag to sic on you, so be nice.
T-shirts are being produced by Rock'n Clothing out of Chicago.
***If you already ordered, and Pay Pal sent you a strange email, you should now have another, less strange email telling you that all is right and your shirts will arrive soon! Thanks, guys. You're supremely patient and in all other ways grrreat!***
Love 'em...although I can't pre-order as I fit into the busty catagory :)
As a fellow fish, though...I can't help but wonder if it's more appropriate to say we 'want' a bicyle or 'need' a bicycle.
Great job on the merch, though, Fish. I see mugs, coozies, visors and bumper stickers in your future!
Posted by: J at February 23, 2005 11:15 AMVery cute!
Posted by: mingaling at February 23, 2005 11:26 AMAwesome! And this busty girl simply ordered the boys' shirt!
Posted by: FWIW at February 23, 2005 11:33 AMThanks so much Fish!
As a busty fish, I will wait for the regular girls tee.
Although, I do like the men's version....maybe I will treat myself to both.
Good luck with this!
Posted by: Christina at February 23, 2005 11:44 AMSee... if you really cared about your bosomy friends ahem... you'd make us bras!
Posted by: Ari at February 23, 2005 11:56 AMOh, those are wicked cute. It completely sucks that I deemed February "The Month of No Shopping." Exactly how long is this pre-order phase...?
Posted by: Kerri L. at February 23, 2005 12:02 PMMy compliments to the t-shirt model. If I wasn't feeling so lazy I'd include a fish/bike/t-shirt model innuendo/pun, but I am feeling lazy. Please feel free to make up your own. :)
Posted by: ccs178 (Chris) at February 23, 2005 12:03 PMI'm glad you posted about the refunds. I'll await more info.
The shirts are fab.
Posted by: Lisa M at February 23, 2005 12:07 PMI can't wait. I'm going to Bolivia for work later this month and I know I'm going to have a great time explaining to my peasant friends what "fish" and "bicycle" mean to them.
On second thought...
Thanks again Fish. These are fun.
Cheers,
AK
They're super fantastic! AK's comment gets me excited about what the French will say when I wear mine at the gym.
"C'est qui, thees feesh?"
Posted by: Coquette at February 23, 2005 01:14 PMOh, oh, can I be your Evil Customer Sercice Hag? I have experience!
Posted by: Agategoddess at February 23, 2005 01:19 PMYea!!!! And they come in pink! Being bosomy..I'll have too wait as well! Love em'
Posted by: Jasika at February 23, 2005 01:24 PMtoo cute!! very nice design :)
Posted by: S at February 23, 2005 01:28 PMis shipping included in the price?
Posted by: ashley at February 23, 2005 02:20 PMI got one of the evil conspiring emails from Pay Pal. Thanks for clearing it up.
Posted by: Jessica at February 23, 2005 02:37 PMOOH LOVELY!!!
I wants one!
Will get one when next paid :)
Posted by: muffy at February 23, 2005 02:43 PMThe Shirt is great although not as good as the artwork on your site. And whats with all the bosomy women - sure wish women would stop getting breast implants - unless they have no boobs.
One more thing: more Amercians should actually ride real bikes, 'America is the fattest nation in the world and getting fatter everyday.'
Love them!! And I and my bosomy self will wait patiently until the larger sizes are available. But I will be buying the smaller sizes for gifts!! :)
Posted by: Stephanie at February 23, 2005 03:12 PMmy Fishtees are ordered, and i can't wait to show them off!!
Posted by: red at February 23, 2005 03:22 PMI love them.
Posted by: Jamie at February 23, 2005 03:22 PMDamn - I thought my big breasts would get me places but it seems there are lots of well-endowed ladies! Does that mean I have to rely on actual talent?
Very interested - I eagerly await the additional sizes along with the the rest of the busty girls.
Posted by: Kimberly at February 23, 2005 04:00 PMBosoms be damned.
Posted by: Steph at February 23, 2005 04:28 PMThey'll fit any C chest. Are you ladies seriously telling me you're even MORE bosomy? You're killing me!
Posted by: Fish at February 23, 2005 04:30 PMRawk on, love the T-shirts, can't wait to see more sizes for us chest-tee-r ones!
Posted by: Jen at February 23, 2005 05:14 PMGreat blog, great shirts! Just a comment from a Brit though... At least in the UK, if you refer to a lady as a "bike" you are likely to get a slap. It is used as a euphamism, as in "something that is ridden a lot" if you get my drift. I'm sure a lot of Brits will still order the shirts though.
Posted by: Britfish at February 23, 2005 05:35 PMThose are cute. Baby tees are not for busty girls, but also they are not for anyone over a size 6! Please get some regular sizes for women soon.
Posted by: Tammi at February 23, 2005 05:37 PMDo i bother explaining that the "Bike" in this equation is a MAN?
Posted by: Fish at February 23, 2005 05:54 PMHow cute! I'm busty and FAT, which makes me doomed.
:)
Posted by: bluezzzgirl at February 23, 2005 06:44 PMLove the shirts. I would buy one except (a) I'm a 12D (I think that's a 36D in US parlance?); and (b) I prefer singlet tops. Hey, I live in Queensland, Australia - it's hot here for 9 months of the year.
So anyway, just a suggestion for when you do the bigger shirts - maybe a singlet top as well?

Posted by: OLS at February 23, 2005 06:54 PMYes, I am telling you JUST THAT. :-)
Posted by: Steph at February 23, 2005 07:48 PMFuture product suggestion: "This Fish Loves Her Bicycle". (I'm just anticipating wearing my shirt and hearing "but but.. you HAVE a bicycle!") Anyway, great entreprenuer-ship, Fish!
Posted by: shanteuse at February 23, 2005 07:51 PMI'm just wondering how many people didn't see the: "If you don’t like them, please do not fill my comment box up with exactly why you don’t." part of this post.
Geez people.
Posted by: Steph at February 23, 2005 07:59 PMgreat t-shirts! i particularly love the pithiness of the men's one, which joins the bust.com "feminist chicks dig me" t-shirt as an essential (this feminist chick thinks) for any feminist boy's wardrobe. i think you've got a new dating mantra there, fish-- "be the bike, boys. be the bike." perhaps it'll catch on.
Posted by: alexandria at February 23, 2005 08:54 PMDamn my boobs! Love the shirts
Posted by: KJB at February 23, 2005 10:13 PMLove the shirts. The design is lovely and I'm definitely looking forward to being the proud owner of a pink one!
I'll have to cast my lot in with my fellow bosomy ladies, though, and wait for the bigger sizes. I'm also a little love-handly lately, too, I'm afraid!
Posted by: dolores at February 24, 2005 02:17 AMI'm waiting on the regular t's for women! But will order as soon as they are available!!
This is fun! :)
Posted by: Island Girl at February 24, 2005 04:44 AMI couldn't resist! I went ahead and bought the pink one! Just too cute! I didn't see any extra shipping fee for overseas when paying via paypal?
Posted by: Island Girl at February 24, 2005 04:50 AMOMG Heather you rock! Now I just gotta get my parents to buy me one :-P

Steph,
I don't really see people saying they don't like them, just showing interest in getting woman's sizes.
The heck with the boobs. I'm up for showing them off, if you ask me. These D's will squeeze into the Large until the other styles come around.
Posted by: Agategoddess at February 24, 2005 07:54 AMApparently PayPal and my credit card aren't getting along at the moment. Is there, or will there be, any other way to order?
Posted by: Meg at February 24, 2005 09:30 AMAdorable!
Posted by: Lesterhead at February 24, 2005 10:03 AMFinally, a small sized T-shirt that will actually fit me, I rarely see that size offered. It looks great!
Posted by: Milly at February 24, 2005 10:11 AMPink T - here I come! Yay Fish!
Posted by: Sally at February 24, 2005 10:46 AM34D boobies be damned. I ordered a pink baby T anyway! muhahahaha! thanks Fish.
Posted by: Jecsyka at February 24, 2005 11:19 AMMe & my 36Cers love the shirt.
Posted by: tuesday at February 24, 2005 11:38 AMAwesome pair of t-shirts...definitely see bumper stickers, buttons, etc. in the future!
There could even be two different options for the men's version too: in addition to "Be the bike" you could also offer a "I am that bike" to go with the female version suggested above: "This fish loves her bike".
I hope these are not considered criticisms but just ideas excited into being by your own great ideas.
Love the shirts. Here's yet another idea for the ladies' t:
Be Your Own Bicycle
Aaaw cute! I'll have a pink one!
Posted by: AdventureGirl at February 25, 2005 07:33 PMOh no! I can't get a paypal account because I live in the United Arab Emirates! Is there another way?
