The Archival Archery sold around 100 shirts and sweatshirts last year with the world-famous (literally) Archival Archery logo on it.
For this year, Rick Stonebraker has found a source for TYVEK JACKETS. Tyvek is a wind-proof, water resistant paper that makes a wonderful over-jacket for warmth. It blocks rain as well as wind. It is as light-weight as possible, durable, very strong and resists tearing very well. It is great for traveling - you can fold it up, ball it up, or just stuff it into a bowcase, and it is comes out wrinkly but ready to wear.
The Archival Archery is going to make an order of these inexpensive, recyclable Tyvek Jackets. White with black trim. The example shows a stock item with runners/Houston for an example. The Archival Archery logo that appears on the other side will actually be where the Houston/Runner logo would be. We will include an embroidered archer on the back that is about 8" to 10" tall (see example)
These are embroidered and so will look very nice. We would like to do this very quickly so the A archers can wear them to the world indoor championship in early March. The manufacturer has agreed to work quickly provided we turn in the order ASAP.
The jackets are sized small so add 2 sizes when ordering. For an example: Rick Stonebraker, Kevin Barker, Tom Barker will wear a 3XL. These jackets are light, strong, will shed water, retain heat, wind resistant (not breathable)and can be folded into a pocket. Great for emergencies and can be worn while shooting during cooler, windier tournaments. They are STYLIN'!!!
Tyvek is not machine washable and never use an iron - hand wash and drip dry.
We will place this order within a few days so they will be available in time for the Texan World Team members can take them to France. A VERY FEW extras will be ordered in case someone doesn't get this message.
Cost is projected to be about $27-$28. The price will depend on how many of you take us up on this project Since it is dependent on quantity, the more of you that sign up, the less they will cost. We will NOT be toting these around to tournaments in order to sell them as we did with the T-shirts. Hopefully they will arrive prior to the State Indoor and if they do we will bring them to the tourney.
If you wish them mailed to you after that, expect to pay an additional $4 or so. You can place your order now, and we will send you an email when the exact cost is found after all orders are in. You are on the honor system here - you place the order, you are promising to pay for the jacket when it arrives.
Again, we are under a time-constraint, as the Archival Archery will be furnishing these jackets to our internationally-bound archers (World Indoor Team members headed for Nimes, France). If you want one or a couple of these yourself, then you need TO ACT RIGHT NOW.
Use the form below to order before
! INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER. DO NOT FORGET TO TELL US YOUR SIZE (AND ADD TWO SIZES TO YOUR NORMAL SIZE)
They will be WHITE with black trim, with the Archival Archery logo on the front right breast: (NOTE: IT WILL BE COMPUTER-EMBROIDERED SO THE ACTUAL APPEARANCE MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY FROM THIS PICTURE)
and this archer on the back.
So do NOT delay - this has to be done quickly to get them in time for the Nimes crew. These will make awesome gifts or trade items at tournaments, they are literally collector items, and the proceeds from these jackets go to the AA.
The Archival Archery Logo is shown on the opposite side from where it will be - it will
REPLACE the "Houston" runners log and will be about the same size so it should
look something like this:
