Thread: POLL: Women-sized t-shirts for PostgreSQL
Hello, I have been looking into getting some woman-sized PostgreSQL shirts, in addition to the more typical men-sized tshirts. The particular style is American Apparel shirts, style # 2102. They are "normal looking" t-shirts, just proportioned a bit more correctly for a woman's body. The shirt says 'PostgreSQL' in small print on the front, and has the big elephant logo on the back. We'll most likely ask for a $20 donation to the PostgreSQL non-profit for each shirt. So, I'm conducting a small poll: If you are interested in a woman-sized shirt, please EMAIL ME DIRECTLY with a quantity, and size (XS, S, M, L, XL). If you would not wear a PostgreSQL woman-sized shirt yourself, please consider whether you would maybe get one as a gift for someone else this holiday season :) I would be overjoyed to have my mailbox clogged with requests, so please don't be shy! Your email will not be considered an official order request - I'm just trying to get a feel for the numbers. Also, feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks! -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - Portland PostgreSQL Users Group http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx http://www.chesnok.com/daily

The Later on, would you consider doing this again for men and women sized polo shirts? I've already purchased one a while back from a business that must have gone out of business because they are no longer sellingthese shirts. I liked the XL shirt that I bought in every way except I that I think that the manufactures in Mexicomust have different standards on shirt sizes than the US. It seems sized like a medium to large and it fits me likea glove. But there is a plus side to its sizing, I never need to iron out the wrinkles to give it that nice pressed look.:o) Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.

We have considered getting Polos as well as normal shirts. The normal
shirts are your basic 6.1 oz 100% cotton. No iron required, heavy
enough to hide the extra we all get once we get over 30. The main issue
with polo's is that they are expensive (comparatively) and thus we need
to see a real desire for them.
I have deferred the ladies shirts decision to Selena for what I feel
are obvious reasons.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

I've got a real desire for a PG polo. :) One which I could wear to work
(business casual or whatever) would seriously rock. I have no idea
who my work got their polos through but they're quite decent and would
be happy to find out, if it'd help. :)
Thanks!

That's what I like to do. The dress-code in the industry that I work is to wear collared shirts. And having a PostgreSQLpolo shirt to wear certainly gives PostgreSQL a looks very professional "look" in the work place. Wearing theshirt that I have at the work place and at client facilities has started several conversations about what PostgreSQL isand how it can be used. I personally wouldn't even mind having a PG polo that has 3rd part vendor logos on the sleeves if that would help make PGpolo shirts available. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.

A search of the site shows a couple of comments by yourself mentioning that the shirts can be ordered from www.sourcewear.com (though this was in '04). The others concern the Italian PG group. Unfortunately, sourcewear's server seems to be configured with Indexes off but no DirectoryIndex. And google is showing an awful lot of comments from very unsatisfied customers. So, um, where can we see the shirts? Are they still sold through sourcewear? Are they still in business? brian

Oh....you're running a POLL! Never mind. -Owen

How about have velcro pads on the sleeves so that you can change the vendor logos whenever necessary, while keeping the base Postgresql? So you can walk into some place with an IBM bunch in the morning, then in the afternoon you can go with a Red Hat team to another place, without having to change your polo shirt in between :). After all that "consulting", you might wish to burn[1] the used shirt and get a new shirt to wear the next day... ;) Link. [1] Or recycle it responsibly.
