I don’t mind the VAT on the item, even though, bizarrely, the package apparently wouldn’t have been eligible for it if the T-shirts had been sent separately.  (If you intend to place an order for more than one T-shirt, email John and ask for separate delivery.)  How Royal Mail can charge an extra £8, in addition to the VAT, to deliver a parcel well over week late I have no idea though…

Anyway, all four are now here and I am a happy man.

What were the final two?  Horsey and Wandering King (my girlfriends favourite).

Roll on having enough time to go back to chess club!

The two t-shirts that arrived were:

Pieces Fall

Wandering King

I am impressed by the quality of the printing on the t-shirts.  The material is lighter than I expected (my fault) but is not flimsy, so I have high hopes for the future durability of them.  It is also a good sign that the chest area is one piece and not two, so they won’t twist out of shape when washed.

They are both XXL as I was concerned about finding a t-shirt that would be long enough as I am 6’5 and quite long in the body.

In case you are wondering, they fit great!

It will be great to wear something that looks good and has a chess theme.  Many people see chess as “geeky” and so it is nice to have a t-shirt that definitely is “cool”.  It is a shame that the first person to see them will probably be my doctor!

As only two of the t-shirts have currently arrived I will cut this post short and will post more when the rest get here.
