There is an old Kaiser Frazer Club t shirt on ebay for an asking price of $125.00. I think that it is time for a new design club t shirt that doesn't use the same emblem as the Kaiser Frazer parts and service sign. I would sure buy one! Is anyone else interested?
-
I prefer a polo shirt style with a pocket but I would buy one I go to many shows with my car and it wills be nice to have a club shirt to wear
-
On a related note, is it possible to buy the nice K-F service signs that were made available at the national? I wasn't able to be there.
-
I'm sure that a polo style shirt could be offered too as they would be very popular. Kaiser Frazer actually offered t shirts to the dealers in 1951 to encourage the dealers to donate them to children's sports teams. They had Kaiser, Henry J and Frazer names on the front and the dealers name could go on the back of the shirt. Has anyone ever seen one? I only have the order form.
-
Weazs- tees has a number of nice KF shirts available, I have a number of Henry J shirts from there
-
The KF museum will be offering both T and polo shirts as part of their fund raising effort. No firm decision on designs yet, but we're working on it!
-
The K-F museum should not start planning fundraisers until the 501c3 corporation gets formed & certified by the IRS. Otherwise, there's nothing to raise funds for, right?
-
I would be in favor of Polo type shirts being available as well as baseball type hats with an embroidered patch. I currently wear one from the USNS henry J kaiser and it starts plenty on conversations at local meets. It's also the closest that I can get to something connected to the club.
I've always wondered why these items were never available from the club.
-
The only club-related clothing I ever see is that created for each National Convention. I've seen t-shirts, golf shirts and ball caps. Years ago (like 30), someone made club patches but haven't seen one in years.

Obviously...

I just ordered another Henry J tee shirt for a granddaughter from Weaz-tee, we now have about a dozen in the family. I also have two Henry J hats.

Museum related shirts will be a great item down the line but we need a nice tee or polo shirt soon as they will do a great job of promoting the club. The cost to the manufacturing fund should be small and the investment could be repaid quickly and we would have a nice product that would sell now and in the future. If we added hats or caps a large supply of" Kaiser", "Frazer"," Henry J"," Darrin"," Genuine Kaiser Frazer Parts and Service" and "Kaiser Frazer Owners Club" patches are already made and available to members. Who else would like a nice tee or polo shirt?
-
Gordie,
That's a good idea! As far as memory serves, the club itself never did clothing as we've been running close to the edge financially and before we can sell this kind of thing, we need to have inventory.
-
Would love to purchase good quality Polo shirt(s) with Kaiser/Frazer logo.

Nice golf shirt with a pocket and perhaps embroidered club logo opposite the pocket.
-
Let's hope that our manufacturing fund manager Adam Harder is reading this and can comment.
-
If you guys need ideas for t-shirts I suggest the Kaiser Frazer Power logo. That is an awesome design that I would love to have on a black t-shirt. Or maybe even permanently etched into my skin at some point. That's how much I like the design. :)
-
I like it a lot!
-
I'll cast my vote for the Power Logo. Would like to buy a couple if they ever become available.
-
I like the Power logo as well. I also kinda think just the Kaiser Supersonic script would make for a nice shirt.
And if anyone wanted to get something done, I have a good friend that's a graphic designer that charges resonable rates. He basically does the design work and sends you the vector file so it can be taken to a print shop to be put on whatever. His Etsy shop is https://www.etsy.com/shop/AcademyPrint or he can be reached at nunes.design@gmail.com (really not trying to "advertise" for him or anything, just saying is all).
-
Thanks, there are some great ideas here and I hope that we can see some new shirts available in the near future.
-
I am contemplating a special item for the 2015 National Convention. For more info, check out my column in the November 2015 issue of KFOCI MONTHLY BULLETIN in the article on specialized clothing for K-F dealer employees or for sale as a promotional item.
-
Someone had these patches at Shipshewanna. Anyone remember who?
-
That was me. I have at least seven different styles for KFOC, KF parts and service, Henry J, Darrin, Kaiser, Frazer, KW parts and service. I will have them available for sale in the Bulletin soon.
-
I just ordered another Henry J tee shirt for a granddaughter from Weaz-tee, we now have about a dozen in the family. I also have two Henry J hats.
I searchered for HenryJ t shirts in Weazs- tees but came up empty. Would you post a link to the correct place? Thanks.

My vote for a cap and/or tee shirt design would be a white Kaiser Frazer Power Logo printed on a dark item, Black being best? We could all vote on which idea we would like to see, if money is a issue so that we could buy in quantity, lets start a fund to this end, all contributions strictly voluntary and maybe kept private so no one feels pressured. I for one would be willing to send in some bucks to get the idea off the ground, if you want to sell some to others rather than just to club members than ebay is always a option and car shows and KNOC conventions, and it may help pay for the project in the long run. Contributing members could always be repaid or not depending on how well the sales go, and they have to keep it in mind this may be a contribution not a loan depending on how things go, we all spend enough on our cars, this is surely doable.

Nice T Shirts and Polo shirts are listed in the Bulletin every year on the registration for the National Convention. I believe you can order them even if you can't make it to the meet.
