KaptainMyke Brand at Several Online Distributors

What is the difference between a "Vintage" or "Regular" T-Shirt?

The latest most popular style in a t-shirt is "vintage". A "vintage" t-shirt has a worn, roughed up, or very old appearance. Believe it or not, many people prefer this on our older designs dating back to the 70s and 80s. This appearance on these brand new products give it a "nostalgic" look.

If you want a brand new, fresh looking, clear with bright, bold beautiful colors, look for tshirts that do not feature the word "Vintage" in the title. Also, be sure to enlarge the image and preview it as best you can before purchasing your t-shirt.



"This is not what I ordered"

Some customers have ordered a shirt from Skreened or Zazzle complaining it wasn't the shirt they ordered. I want to clarify to all customers: "Be careful and watch for the word "VINTAGE" in the title of product. In some instances, this is not clearly marked in the description or title - but please enlarge preview image of product to view final image. What you see is what you get"


"Why do you sell products on so many websites?"

We sell apparel from a variety of online distributors including Cafepress, Combotique, MySoti, Printfection, RedBubble, ShirtMagic, Skreened, SonicShack, SpreadShirt, ThatTShirtSite, Wordans, and Zazzle.

The reason is simple: to provide more shipping options and more product options to the customer.


"How am I supposed to decide?"

If you live in France, but you want it quickly and affordably, I'd recommend Combotique.

If you want a high quality American Apparel product printed by ethical standards and made in the USA, I'd recommend Skreened.

If you want a high quality American Apparel tee I'd also recommend RedBubble.

If you want a vintage t-shirt, I'd recommend RedBubble, Skreened, or Zazzle. But watch for the title "Vintage" !!!

All vintage t-shirts can be found at our main site, featuring Cafepress products here.

All of our designs can be printed at ThatTShirtSite, which features a value priced lighter tee for under $15. Email us to add more that you don't see yet!

If you want a brighter, bolder tee that allows us to print our screenprints across the entire front, or bottom of shirt, try our ShirtMagic gallery of shirts.

If you want a high quality tee printed on a larger surface across front of chest, try browsing our Printfection gallery of shirts.

More colors and products can be found at the SpreadShirt gallery of KaptainMyke Brand products.

If you need a 4X or 5X plus sized t-shirt, browse our Zazzle gallery.

We can print on both sides of dark tees at Printfection.

Most light tees drop ship within 24 hours at Zazzle!

Paypal is accepted at SpreadShirt and Zazzle.


Our primary distributor is Cafepress. However, KaptainMyke seems to favor Skreened and Zazzle.

Remember, we can add any design to any of the galleries online that feature KaptainMyke Brand products.

New Fall & Winter Apparel Featured at KaptainMyke Brand

It's that time of year again!

KaptainMyke's favorite time - cooler weather.

Yes, I'm sure most of you, like me - hate the hot, humid weather. To celebrate, and get ready for a cold Winter season (hopefully), we have decided to spotlight all sleeved apparel at our Cafepress Store by KaptainMyke Brand. This includes children, guys and ladies apparel. We have lowered prices of most sleeved apparel in stock.

The products being featured are from our primary distributor, Cafepress. We will move any design you see posted over to Combotique (UK & France), MySoti, Printfection, RedBubble, ShirtMagic, Skreened, SonicShack, SpreadShirt, ThatTShirtSite, Wordans, and Zazzle if you would rather purchase from one of those distributors instead.

It's getting cooler now! You should, too.

BREAKING: KaptainMyke Brand Pulls Products from Cafepress Marketplace

We waited long enough

It was only a matter of time. As the incoming commissions sank lower and lower to the pit of my stomach these 4 months, so did my loyalty factor to Cafepress.com.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, this person gives clarification regarding Cafepress.com's recent company restructure. Further reading will have you learn even more at this link entitled, "Cafepress Virtually Lays Off Thousands of Shopkeepers by Wolfstad.com.

Ok but I'm a consumer, not a storeowner.

What does this mean to you, the customer? Nothing. Except that you'll be paying lower prices for the same exact merchandise. That, and I feel that KaptainMyke, the owner and designer of the screenprints, deserves the same markup and cost that we've maintained for almost 5 years, and not accept a 30%, sometimes even 40% loss of incoming hardearned commissions.

Furthermore, we at KaptainMyke feel that it's "not fair" that affiliate driven websites that sell our products make more money than we do being that they make 15% and we make 10%. God Bless America and it's Capitalism!



"You mess with the bull, you get the horns. "

So in retaliation we have finally decided to sell all Cafepress related merchandise from our own websites, and not allow them to be marketed or pushed via the Cafepress Marketplace. The main difference is lower prices to the consumer, and retained earnings to the KaptainMyke Brand. We don't need Cafepress working to advertise our products for us anymore if it means we compete against ourselves. We just need Cafepress to continue distributing and filling orders, and nothing more.

"Oh yeah? Well take that!"

In essence, we have decided to cut you off, Cafepress - not the other way around. Remember who's the boss, Cafepress. Remember who's the boss....

As of the date of this post, it will take 2-3 months for search engines and the existing KaptainMyke Cafepress Marketplace links to organically disappear.






One more example...

Besides, would you pay $22 for a white graphic logo t-shirt in the Cafepress Marketplace, or the same exact product for $19.95 at KaptainMyke Brand directly? Yeah, we thought so. Also, value priced white shirts are just $10 at KaptainMyke Brand. You can't even buy a value priced white t-shirt at Cafepress. They discontinued them through their marketplace sometime a year or two ago...we kept them in inventory ever since.



We are in a Great Depression.

Their answer to recession? Most likely. I don't know much, but I do know the US Government is full of crap and so is Cafepress's executive department.

I also know my reports don't add up, sales income from Cafepress is down, and my Google Adwords Campaigns suddenly were costing 3 times as much to keep up. Either way, someone is making serious profits at Cafepress.



KaptainMyke Brand Expanding

Eventually, when enough ticked off Cafepress storeowners walk away and move all of their art and merchandise to:
Combotique
MySoti
NinjaZoo
Printfection
RedBubble
ShirtMagic
Skreened
SonicShack
SpreadShirt
ThatTShirtSite
Wordans
and our favorite, Zazzle

...then Cafepress will end up firing a bunch of staff, removing product lines and skyrocketing prices. Oh well! We have to do what we have to do to keep saving customers money and having us keep our jobs, too!

KaptainMyke Brand prefers American Made apparel printed on Skreened and Zazzle products.

Because waiting stinks.

Any questions can be emailed to me directly or talk to us via Social sites, too.

YOUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD COAL PLANT IS KILLING YOU ALL

Built in 1958, the WA Parish Electric Generating Station is located in Thompson, TX off US Highway 762.

Originally this plant produced 185 MegaWatts of electricity by conventional means of gas (fossil fuels). In 1977 it was converted to coal, producing 690 MegaWatts of electricity.
