Reluctantly retiring a Canadian Poncho shirt!


I am very sad to do this but it's time. If I am right this is one of the shirts from the first batch ever of Canadian Poncho T shirts. What an excellent quality shirt these are! I think I got 2 or 3 of them and have worn the daylights out of them. Many times over the years my kids have accused me of wearing nothing but CP clothing...

Faded as it is, the shirt is still in good shape other than the tattered collar. It's going to be a dignified burial though, it will serve it's final days cut up into rags to be used only when I work on my Pontiacs!

Todd, you've done a great job with the Canadian Poncho clothing.

Thanks. I still have one original shirt as well in decent shape. My denim shirt is in mint condition as I forgot I had it and recently found it packed away (with my CP Hoody!)

 My denim shows some age but still good shape. The hoody gets worn regularly all 4 seasons as soon as there's any cool weather.

Carl, just build a frame for it, and put it on your garage wall! Serious!

I framed a couple of my old Bonneville shirts years ago. Long gone now. No photos sadly.

Do you put them behind glass, or how do you do it?

I already know how I will make the frame but I'm unsure about the backing and whether to cover it or not.

If I remember correctly, I bought some old framed posters at a yard sale, and flipped the backs, laid the shirt on an angle, and put the glass back on. You can get thin glass at a glass shop. Slip a couple of decals or time slips in for added interest!

 I was already scheming what else I could put beside it!

That shirt is totally wearable! You should see some of my Tees (mind you, they don't get worn off our property).

For those of you who have recently purchased swag from the Poncho Store please consider leaving a review. I notice quite a few people are browsing the store but not pulling the trigger and it could be they aren't sure of the quality of the items (or if we are a legit store).
Thanks

 There should be a spot in the store to leave feedback for products you have purchased. You need to have a store account and not be signed in as a guest.

 I stopped drinking regular coke and went to coke zero with no sugar. I was drinking regular coke like water. Took a while to get used to the taste but now I can not drink the regular as taste to sweet. Went from a size 42 waist pant size to a 36.
