Default "951" Hat Group Buy....Get in this week.

This is an edit of the first post. (quoted at the bottom of this post). Putting my last post up front for anyone that is new and wants to get in on this.

Here is the design.





Here is what I am thinking of for a hat.




Bamboo Sandwich Bill Cap

We've taken one of our most popular styles and blended rayon from bamboo with cotton to craft this eco-friendly sandwich bill design. Naturally quick drying, this bamboo hat is not only fashionable, but it makes a powerful environmental statement because bamboo grows easily without harsh chemicals.

Fabric 60 rayon from bamboo/40 cotton
Structure Unstructured
Profile Low
Panels 6
Closure Hook and loop
Features Contrast sandwich bill with CoolMax® moisture-wicking sweatband


I may toss in a visor or two if you want a visor. (since that is what my dog ate)



An exceptional visor that's enzyme washed for a lived-in look.

Fabric 100% cotton twill
Panels 3
Closure Hidden adjustable hook and loop closure with metal buckle
Features Self-fabric sweatband folds down for easy decoration access; front panel measures 2.2"h x 6.1"w

I think I can get all the digitizing, sewing and hats shipped to you guys for $20.


If there are no objections I can take orders this week, get them off to the company next week. They say it will take about a week to get them back and then I can drop them in the mail.

My paypal address is cford@rockcrawler.com. Make sure to include a shipping address.

Cole



Long story short. My dog literally ate my "2004 Olympic" golf visor I bought in Greece. Loved the hat but now need a replacement.

I was thinking a hat with a tastefull "951" on it would be kinda cool. No "Porsche" just "951". I have already worked up a few designs. (not available on this computer so I will post later).


I can either do a one off for my own hat or I can have an embroidered run of them made. Probably baseball caps, maybe golf visors.

If I had a set of them made how many would be interested? Colors? Right now I think the price would be around $20 to your door in the U.S.

I would go for one, depending on style and color... but yeah sure, why not... I sometimes feel like a slug wearing a Porsche Shirt, Porsche hat but not riding in a true porsche car...

I think a Ball cap with 951 on the bill would be really cool. Maybe a sort of silhouette of a 951 on the front of the hat, similar in design to a basic outline of the car.

I would definitely be down if it were a charcoal hat, with a Black "951" and black logo.

I would most likely be in for one. I have a porsche hat my fiancee bought me a while back but I would def go for a 951 hat. Fitted would be best for me.

.
So here is is a basic idea Jeska worked out for me tonight. Still up for refinement.

Option A) would be this logo on the front of a hat or even shirt.

Option B) would be the silhouette on the front and "951" on the back.

With the amount of outlines you have on the back of the car (the spoilers), it seems like it needs some more lines in the front to balance it out. Maybe add the wheel arches or something, like the paragon logo? http://www.paragon-products.com/

For some reason I had the car going the other way in my head.

Agree with Bill, need to balance the front and back.

Option B (time for a poll?)


Chads996 may have some ideas too.

I think option B would be better as well...

Problem is there is nothing to add to the front that you would not also have to add to the back. (Wheel arches for example). And if you take something away from the back then it looks like any other Porsche.

You could put Turbo on the right side of the bill (like on the front fender)..
