The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

[ProfMonnitoff]

just recieved them today, ill take pics later, becuase my uncle just died yesterday and his funeral is going to be on my graduation day plus i have to help my aunt buy his and her spot and dam, anyways they fit nice but the denim looks kinda weed strains sticking out plus they were as stiff as a cardboard due to soaking them? i wish i could have seen what they looked liked pre soak, anyhow they are nice, pics to come soon

wow, that's pretty harsh...

anyways, I'd be willing to pay 15 for the belt if everyone else does too, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to wear it every day.

edit: for the shipping costs, I'm not able to say how much they will at this point because I'm unsure if I'll be in Austria or England (or maybe even somewhere completely different, but that's unlikely) by then, but probably between 30 to 60 euros is what it will cost to get them from Vienna to Chicago depending on how fast, and I haven't checked out the UK rates yet but they should be similar.

Haven't heard from everyone yet regarding the belt, but it hasn't been a unanimous yes.

[justiz2]

^^ Majority for or against?

^^ Majority for or against?

Pretty much everyone was for. I'm not sure if I got a reply from everyone or not though. I'll have to double check when I get a break from work.

[PG2G]

Just to keep you guys updated, I've gotten 9 yes (including me) out of 10 responses. Missing 2 people. Those that haven't responded, please get back to me.

Actually now that I look, Prof said yes a few posts about this, and CottonDuck sounds okay with it depending on what we decide to do with it afterwards. So that makes us 11/12.

Just to do the math

The belt is $150, it'd be shipped to sonaraam here in LA so the tax will be somewhere in the $13-14 range. Shipping I'd assume to be in the $10 range. So total would be around $174. Roughly $16 each.

What do you guys think? The cost is negligible, its just a matter of how much you guys want to invest in this. I'm assuming that at the end of the day we're all going to be putting in $20+ in shipping.

[Charlie Delta]

yah, sorry for not getting back to you.

I'm down for the cause!

[justiz2]

I'm ok with it too

[ordo]

Let's do it - just let us know where to PayPal the money and you will get it right away.

[PG2G]

Just an update. When I get an exact cost for the belt (including shipping and tax), I'll let you guys know how much to paypal me. Should have the information by the end of the day.

Would you guys mind pm'ing me an email address where I can reach you guys? I figure it'd be useful when I need to send messages to the group (I think pm's only allow 2 people at a time), and in the event that the board goes down we can still remain in communication.

Thanks

this is the first time i read this topic. I read about camelands entry. I think its very cool what you guys are doing. Giving global love to one pair of FH's. I can't wait to see the pics after a few months.

[stuntastic]

I need a pair of 3001s here in the Philippines... Kiya...

Check your pm's for paypal info. I'm assuming tan belt? Any size preference? I'll check with kiya to see what works for a size 32 jean.

Money sent - my vote would be for a raw belt.

Thanks, I'll make sure its one like the one in the original pic.

Hey guys, no Flat Head belts in our size so we're going to go with a similar styled and similar colored Skull.

Sounds fine - do you know what it looks like? Pix?

No clue. he just said its a similar style and color. Surprises are nice

I'll check and see if he's got anything.

[justiz2]

Payment sent. Raw would be nice

[kiya]

Payment sent. Raw would be nice

Just as a bit of info...

I keep hearing people ask for "raw".. trust me, you don't want a raw belt.. a raw belt would mean you're buying rotting cow skin.

The difference between tan and brown is the color of oil/dye they use...

[Largo]

But tan is the usual light-colored 'do it yourself' leather that people on SuFu seem to usually get, right? Sort of like the one on your blog here, correct?

[selaviso]

man i cant wait to see how these will turn out

Send me your 3001s. I bet I can fit in them... You G.I. Joe sized friend, you.

Eek, I totally forgot about paypal fees and their currency conversion Oh well.

How much are you out? Is it worth each of us sending you the extra at this point or can you add it to each of our "accounts" to be evened-up at the end? (I am thinking about the differences between shipping costs to be sorted when this is all over)

[PG2G]

I'I think I've been out around ~80cents a person, so around $8 at the end of the day, so its not really a big deal. Just something I should have thought about beforehand

[ordo]

Hey Soraanaam - any updates on the jeans? How about some fit pix?

Also, has everyone put in their contribution for the belt? It would be nice to get it ordered.

No, I haven't received everyone's money yet, I need to go through my list and try and match people up to see who sent it. I've received 6 payments so far, 2 or 3 should be getting to me soon. So that leaves 2 people unaccounted for.

Anyway, I put the order in last week, but there seem to be some other complications

[ordo]

Sounds good - keep us posted.
