About the Project
As some of you may have seen I sent the guys at OTT some great Snag-a-normie t-shirts to celebrate the great month of Feb and Snag-a-normie. I got great responses to the t-shirts and its artwork as well as some of you wanting to know how you could get your hands on one of them for yourselves, Well now there maybe a way. Due to the great response of the t-shirts I've decided to push forward on a project that's been on the burner for a couple of years. It all started when my local gaming club wanted me to supply Club Uniforms as I am in the print and promotional industry. My Plan is to create an Online Store to sell Club/Hobby Wear. With the help from the community I hope I can get great suggestions on designs and ideas for products that people want and make it a reality.

This Project is Active
Update. Webstore Launch
Its been some time since I’ve updated this project and there is a good reason for that I’ve been very busy 🙂
Since my last update I’ve been setting up all the boring parts of starting a business as well as designing a website and creating products.
I’m happy to say my site is now live.
Still lots to do and lots to add on the store. always thinking of new ideas and designs to put on to t-shirts and am still hoping the community will be happy to help pass on anything they think would be a great table top hobby themed designs to go on to t-shirts.
On the site I have the general store where I’m selling print to order of great designs I’m making inspired by the gaming and hobby community and industry. the other part is a platform where gaming clubs can buy there own uniforms for the clubs on a as needed braces and not having to wait to bulk buy.
I’m still in the proses of finishing setting up all my social media and always adding new products to the site
Please take a look and let me know what you think. this is my first jump in to business and I’m doing most of it off my own back so there maybe a couple of hiccups along the way.

The Plan.
For the ones that don’t know me I’m Will (Wilco92).
I Work as the production manager and head graphic designer at a print and promotional company in sunny Dorking, Surrey in the UK.
My day to day job is making work uniforms, custom t-shirts and promotional products.
For Some time I’ve been toying with the idea of starting my own side business with slogan t-shirts and other clothing. After the great response of the Snag-a-normie t-shirts I’ve decide to make the plunge and build a compony targeting the Table Top Gaming Community.
I’m Hopping that I will be able to show the community how everything is progressing and have some input in things like company name, logos, product selection and development.
I hope you all can help me make this come to life and maybe you all can get created the garments and Club/Hobby Wear products you’ve always wanted be created.
