Touques (think Gandalf saying "Fool of a Took!" and you get the pronunciation) are generally worn in the winter, since they're warm, woollen or knit hats. Sometimes with ear flaps, like Jayne's. I have some cool touques from my travels in Edmonton one chilly March. It snowed, but it was still warmer than the damp, wet winter snow we get in New Jersey. I have a warm spot for Canada.

And yes, the Blue Sun shirts are screen-printed, on really good T-shirts that won't shrink. The XL I bought is a very roomy XL. I'd recommend it...and they were very reasonably priced.

Here in the North (well, Ohio), a toboggan is a sled. Oh, this wacky language of ours!

So has anybody washed their shirts? How did they look after the wash?

Not a silly question--I know peeps who pretty much never wash their shirts. Also, it'd be nice if the Blue Sun shirt still looked good after washing.

I was looking at the lineup of grey, khaki and white at the Web site. It looks like the Blue Sun logo prints really well on the white, less so on the khaki and even less so on the grey. It would be nice if the logo ink is more saturated in the grey and khaki shirts, IOW, has denser print so that the upper part of the letters don't fade away. Or is it merely the screen image that is misleading?

Anyone buy one of the coloured shirts and can clue me in? I'd like to buy both of the coloured ones.

I have one of the black shirts and there is no fade-away on the shirt logo. It is the photo that is misleading. The BLUE SUN logo is strictly the same shade of blue across its entire surface. Most likely lighting conditions when the photos were taken resulted in the shine in the upper part of the lettering which you interpret as fade-away.

I have mine on black, and it washed perfectly. I didn't dry it, and I washed it inside out, but there was no fading and the quality of the screen-printing (or whatever process that is used) is above average. And, even with shipping, the shirt only cost $14.95. A bargain!

Captain, I saw these shirts at Dragon Con. they are a beaut. I had to have one. I too was confused looking for a way to use credit card at the site. Click PayPal option for the item of your choice (They have Hats now too!) and it will then give you the option to use a credit card without having to sign up for paypal. I just placed my order. I'll try to remember to post again when my order arrives. As for large sizes they had XXL.
