    We've received several inquiries for NotebookReview.com T-Shirts and mugs over the past year or so. As a result, we've set up a Cafe Press store so you can pick up whatever items you like. Use our brand with pride!

    There's a bunch of different items in there, if you have any feedback, please let us know.

    How about your own brand of notebook consisting of requests from this site! That would be cool.

    Yes! At last, we can show off our inner geek.

    I am ordering a bunch of stuff as soon as I get home.

    Would you like a review of the shirt? Just kidding. :p

    I've bought CafePress gear before, and it didn't hold up very well. I got a sweatshirt from distributed.net (Non-profit organization). It arrived with the logo kind of melted into the fabric. If you picked at it, you could easily pick off the logo.. After about a half-dozen washes, the logo was completely unrecognizable (< 2 months). And now it looks like there is just garbage all over the back of the sweatshirt (about 50% of the logo is gone, but it didn't "peel" off, it sort of disintegrated. Wish I had a camera so I could take a picture. It evenly disintegrated, so the whole logo is unrecognizable. So I don't really wear it anymore.
    That was about 3 years ago.
    Purchase from CafePress with caution.

    I looked into it a little and it depends on how you get the logos put on as to their durability. I selected the method that dyes the fabric rather than sticking a label on. I think this will hold up much better. I hope this turns out well, I looked into several other options and the CP solution was the most robust.

    What about international people? Would you send outside of the US too? Just wondering.

    Btw, I used to work on the apparel bussiness. When putting a logo, you should always do a 50 wash test (wash and dry on normal conditions) on the fabric in order to determine the reliability of the screening (if it's inked) or the Heat Transfer (sticked on fabric).
