Many of you know that I have owned a Correct Craft boats since 1968. Along with the boats comes the purchase of cool T-Shirts that helped show your pride of ownership for your boat and the company of Correct Craft. I was just at our local boat show and can honestly say that I really do not identify with very much of the clothing being made for Nautique owners! The T-shirts made for the CCF reuinions really has captured the spirit of Correct Craft, but it would be great to have more!
My collection of Correct Craft shirts are getting a bit old, maybe a little shrunk or tighter or small and they have also lost the nice bright colored look to them! The purpose of my post is to find out a couple of things. 1. Is the current line of shirts made by Nautiques meeting your needs as a consumer? 2. If we started with a couple of original T-shirts from both the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's would there be enough interest here to get many sold to make it a worthwhile venture? Here are a couple of examples of mine and skierox's from the past! From 1982 or 1983? From 1989 Front 1989 Back Your response or feedback to my questions will be the driving force to pursue or not pursue this idea! Picture some of your favorite old Correct Craft shirts with your comments! |

I have always loved the older shirts and stuff. I wonder if someone can get in touch with the vendor or marketing. To see if it's possible to get copies of the drawings or the patterns from them. Just a thought... Maybe Keith can make some calls. |

Pauly, My company is the supplier of the reunion tee shirts and I'd offer to help with this IF there is enough interest. Designs 1 & 3 have a lot of colors and I have doubts as to whether there would be enough demand to make it worth while to reproduce. Design # 2 would be the simplest and less expensive to reproduce and would work better for a smaller initial run of shirts.
Don't worry about original films, although that would be nice I doubt they exist or anyone would give them to you without paying for them, all I would need is one shirt of each design and we'll make new artwork up. I have some ideas on how to sell these so Call me at the shop anytime if you want to discuss this. 800-661-5892 Alan |

Along with T-shirts, I'd like to see some sort of member supported terrycloth or cotton seat covers like in the 70's brochures, with CC script or Correct Craft Fan script...

I like the second shirt as well !! I do think the terry cloth seat covers would be nice addition to the CCF store.

Great to see the response! I really only threw the two shirts on as examples! There are many more older Correct Craft T-shirts as examples. Take some pictures and get them on here and vote later! My focus of the thread was just to see if this is something that we could or should persue! It looks like we should. I may also have one connection in getting this started. The simple truth is that the bright colorful T-shirts of Correct Crafts past match many of our boats.
Keep the pictures coming. I will also add more. Adamt- I have one of those seat covers for the passenger seats. It is a little worn, but it maybe could be used for re-production. |

Pauly/Alan, I think this is a great idea! Personally I dont relate to the 2001-specific shirts, but I would like to think theres a market for some of the vintage CC stuff. I know Id buy some!

I have some shirts from the 1990's that I will include pictures of. I talked with Pauly-Banana last night about his old shirts, some even without stains!!!!
He is digging through his drawers and plans to post more pictures on this topic. I can see from his post that Pauly's hope is to get as many images as possible on this page to be used later in helping to determine which ones to get started on! Help in finding these and reproducing these T-Shirts will most likely depend on people like the Godfather, Alan, Bruce at N3boatworks, who Pauly ran this idea by yesterday. Bruce said that he would look into this since some of the old T's came out of his area and could contact his old distributors. Having CCF members help with this can really help bringing these treasures back a reality. We really have no idea as to who else can help get this going! Back to Pauly-easy to see that he has alot of good ideas! I can't wait to see the rest of Pauly's old T-Shirts. I would have to believe that if Correct Craft made a pair boxer shorts in the day, he would maybe have them also! |

That is one awesome shirt! I have never seen that one! What year was this purchased. Did you get this at a tournament? It looks like a 1978 or 1979! |

Brant, I take it that those are just a small sampling of old Correct Craft shirts! Skierbrant had many of these at the last reunion, but could only wear one or two with so little time in weekend! I can't wait to get home and get some of mine pictured. The next thing you know is that we will be posting pictures of some of the old patches given at three event tournaments. That maybe a good idea for another post.
