Good looking hat too.... hint hint..... 

Yeah yeah yeah.  If I think there is really enough interest in it, I will try to get something going again.  The place I've found that would be easiest for all of us to use produces things on par with what we had before, which is to say of considerably better quality than Cafe Press or Spreadshirt or any of those other places.  These folks do actual embroidery, just like we're all accustomed to from before.

Setup to have them produce stuff for us is going to set me back about $150.  I've got to be sure we can sell enough hats and shirts to recoup at least 50% of that up front and the other 50% over the next few months otherwise that's just money out of TGO's operating budget out the window.

I will donate $20 to the set-up, start a “go fund us” thread for the hats and it will be over in a day or two if I had to bet.

 

Start the thread and quote me please.

I want one of the hats.....maybe two hats. Geesh....it's like pulling teeth around here.

[Sidecarist]

I'd probably do 2 if they are as nice as the old one looks.

I am splitting this thread off from the other one.

So, I put in a small order for a few samples from the company I have in mind.  They won't arrive until mid February.  These aren't done off-shore, it was just a condition of the small quantity and taking advantage of an offer they made to digitize the TGO logo for me for free if I didn't mind the delay.

That said, I am also going to speak with them about a storefront for TGO.  They will do all order fulfillment, which is nice.  I'll let you guys know what we need to do to get this rolling after I speak with them.

[RED333]

As much as I would like a hat the "round" top hats just do not fit my head. I do like the "truckers" or "bill board" style as they do fit my big head

[Chucktshoes]

While I’m totally in for a TGO hat, just like to drop the idea that I’d also really like to get my hands on an SN hat as I think it might be nice conversation starter. I am constantly traveling all over the country after all. Plus, you just plain did a bang up job on that logo. 

[WindHawk]

I'll go in for 2 TGO hats.  +1 on the idea to fund the setup.  +1 on the SN hats.

[SWCUMBERLAND]

If startup $ is a problem (when is it not?) I'm good for $50. email or pmail me and I will zip out Priority Mail with the cash within. Or if TGO has a PayPal set up, I can be good for that too.

I might also suggest a logo patch, if one isn't already in the works. In regular color, desert, woodland, and night would be additional suggestions if the market will bear it.

Now your talkin'!!!

Sounds really good! I haven't been much of a cap guy, but am a tee shirt fanatic. My TGO tee could use a backup or 2, it's getting kinda well worn.

[Fourtyfive]

YAY !

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

I wear the pink one I had for years on and off.. But I would be more interested in a visor kinda thing myself.. maybe white with logo..goes good with my Vette  ..even a lil bling would be nice.I would def. buy them

 

[Parrothead]

Hats are good. I’d buy a couple.

We had someone donate the entire cost of setup today. !!!!

I would be in for hats or shirts. Always a good thing to have around.

 

[SWCUMBERLAND]

My offer and suggestions still stand. I will  be a friend of this site in ALL weathers.

Yes.  It's something we will try to do later this year.

Ok. Great. I am not big on hats or logo'd shirts, but those would be a nice addition.
