  1. can we get like a reminder for last day to put in orders?

    Like last thread, I'll give at least a week's notice if not two or three.

    cool thanks for the clarification

    so then im assuming nixon doesnt want gift payments

    pm sent!

    Yes, please no gift payments. I don't want to risk Paypal freaking out and delaying everything since it takes long enough already.

    Here's where we stand right now:

    There's 15 navy requests, 28 black requests, and about 5-6 who said either was fine (don't worry, I'll hit you up for your final choice if you were one of those people).

    Finally emailed Ebbets tonight about underbrim colors, I'll have that information to you as soon as possible.

    Apologies for not keeping this updated the last couple days, it's been a rough week.

  2. i was asking if anyone has done what you quoted yet...

    Yup, same deal as last time, I need that information so I know what to charge etc.

    I don't think hes guna ask for payments till we reach the 24 minimum. Make up your minds dus!

    This.

    Also, I'll find out about thicker fabric and what color the underbill will be so we can stop guessing soon.

  3. I think it might've been 24?

    Yes indeed, this will hold true for any future runs.

    i am down with that all navy, or even navy with cream letter

    re: sizing, similar to new era 59 fiddy?

    Yup, just a teeny tiny bit bigger in my experience.

  4. Regarding color combos, etc:

    I'm not as good as handling that sort of thing as others (setting up polls, etc.) mostly because I don't have the time/energy. I think if y'all want to do another complete set up with some other combination, someone else will need to do that.

    That being said, I'm still looking forward to finishing this run. Keep sending me your PMs! We're at about 12 black hats and a handful of navy so far.

  5. Nobody's down for 2 tones? :(

    Re: this and embroidered instead of felt

    I don't really care as long as enough people sign up.

    great work man, thanks for doing this again.

    how many total hats were purchased last time? i'm curious if we'll make the 24 hat mark for each color.

    66, so it's not impossible.

  6. orders are closed!

    All right everyone, here's what's up:

    This is the hat we're ordering:

    Note: This is just the basic design. Everything on the hat will either be all navy or all black, depending on your choice.

    Pricing: Hats will cost us $21.50 + $5 drop ship fee + $1 "processing" + shipping + Paypal fees to me, which will vary based on your shipping cost (these will be calculated from ppcalc.com).

    Shipping costs:

    US - $6.95

    Canada - $9.00

    Australia/Asia - $18.00

    Europe - $11.00

    UK - $11.00

    Other countries are available, those are just the ones I checked.

    Final cost:

    US - $35.79

    Canada - $41.17 CAD

    Australia - $50.54 AUD

    Europe - 31.00 EUR

    UK - £26.55

    Pricing changes from last thread:

    I wanted to be super transparent here; the $1 processing is basically donating $1 to me for running everything, since running these group orders takes a lot more time than I originally thought it would.

    Also, some prices are a little higher because Paypal's exchange rate or fees changed since last order.

    Color choices:

    This is how it's gonna work: All-navy and all-black were pretty split last thread. As I interpreted it, it means the entire hat, including the "S" and embroidery is all navy or all black. Someone correct me if this is wrong, otherwise that's what we're getting.

    We can do two separate runs at once at the same cost as long as there are at least 24 orders for each color. If one color ends up below that number, it won't get produced and you can either switch to the other color or see if you can get Ebbets to do a custom order on your own.

    How to order:

    Send me a PM with your hat size, shipping country and color choice. I won't reply to this PM, but I'll make a post in this thread when I start PMing people for payment. If you don't receive a PM shortly after that, make sure to send me another PM.

  7. Yeah, I should have enough time to run it again. How quickly does everyone want these? I could open sign-ups for a week and then make the payment deadline within a week. That'd mean roughly 8-9 weeks before y'all got the hats (2 weeks before submitting, 6 weeks production, 1 week shipping). That'd put it around the start of December.

    Also, I'm assuming the all black one is same as the current run just all black?

    So yeah. Start sending me PMs with your size and shipping country. I'll make a new thread soon.

  8. I think they sent them out in two batches, one Wednesday/Thursday or whatever and the rest today. They must've done further ones first cause I haven't gotten mine yet either and I'm in Colorado.

    Still thinking about whether I'd be willing to set up again for a black hat. I'll let y'all know today or tomorrow.

  9. Why would you put wool on a backpack? Doesn't it soak up water?

    No:

    "Wool has also been traditionally used to cover cloth diapers. Wool fiber exteriors are hydrophobic (repel water) and the interior of the wool fiber is hygroscopic (attracts water); this makes a wool garment able to cover a wet diaper while inhibiting wicking, so outer garments remain dry. Wool felted and treated with lanolin is water resistant, air permeable, and slightly antibacterial, so it resists the buildup of odor. Some modern cloth diapers use felted wool fabric for covers, and there are several modern commercial knitting patterns for wool diaper covers."

    From Wikipedia, they're talking about diapers or something but the same thing applies (the sky is peeing on you instead of you peeing in a diaper). Wool also dries extremely quickly. Why would winter coats be made from wool if they soaked up water?

  10. Orders are officially closed!

    I will place the order as soon as the funds land in my bank account. I'm still kind of paranoid about Paypal returning everyone's money since it's much more than I've ever had in my Paypal. This way if they do freak out I won't have paid for everyone's hats myself already :P

    I'll let everyone know as soon as they roll into production!
