I had a test print made and wore it to Nationals last year. A Scout vendor who attended the same show released a version of that shirt on their Instagram feed this spring. I&#8217;d also designed a series showing the grille faces from all iterations of the Scout II and set it aside because&#8230;life; they released a similar T-shirt design this summer.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, this really got to me. I should be making some money on my ideas. Several things were holding me back: I didn&#8217;t have anyplace to host the designs (I didn&#8217;t want them on my personal sites), I&#8217;m wary of the copyright issues around the IH trademark, and I didn&#8217;t want to be seen as a copycat. But it stuck in my craw.<\/p>\n<p>The other night I saw a post by another Scout owner in Austin selling her own T-shirt designs and decided I just needed to pull the trigger: if they can do it so can I, and I figure my designs will look better. I bought the domain Oldlinestatebinders.com for $7 and I&#8217;ll be using that for a website and an Instagram feed, and I&#8217;ll use <a href=\"https:\/\/lockinghub.threadless.com\">one of the T-shirt fulfillment vendors<\/a> online for a while and see how things go. So far I&#8217;ve got the 4-wheel drive design, the T-19 shift pattern, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/2018\/11\/14\/new-stickers\/\">the Oldlinestatebinders logo<\/a>, and a series of grille designs almost ready to go. I figure some careful social media work might generate a little extra cash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; View this post on Instagram &nbsp; A post shared by Bill Dugan (@idiotking) on Aug 17, 2019 at 7:06pm PDT Two years ago, I designed a shirt using the face of the transfer case shift knob, and thought about printing some T-shirts to sell.
