Pre-production samples of our new TGO logo hats arrived!

[TGO David]

These are the pre-production samples that I received today. The hats look great in person and I've made a few changes to improve them even further:

• Enlarged the logo so that it uses more of the front area
  

• Replaced Tennessee Gun Owners with the website address
  

On these samples, the embroiderer put the website address on the backs over the "hoop" where the adjustment strap is. While it was a good idea in theory, in practice it yielded text that was difficult to read. So I went back to the previous design concept with the URL beneath the logo.

The hats are unstructured sandwich-bill hats stitched with contrasting color highlights. The adjustment strap is a sturdy velcro-backed canvas strap with a band of the highlight color sewn onto them. They look sharp if I do say so myself.

If all goes well, I will have about 20 of each of the following color combinations with us this Saturday (March 28th) at the Hero Gear Customer Appreciation Sale. Joe has graciously allowed us to come down and set up a small table on Saturday so that we can meet folks, talk about the TGO site and offer up some swag for sale.

Color combinations are:

• Black with tan highlights
  
• Olive Drab with black highlights
  
• Light Pink with white highlights
  

Here are a few more pictures of the sample hats...

Pricing has not been finalized yet but they will easily be under $20 and probably discounted a bit at the Hero Gear sale just to help get the ball rolling.

Once this batch is gone, we will be making more available for purchase online but there may be a 2-3 week delay. If you want a hat now you should make an effort to attend the Hero Gear sale.

We'll see you there.

They look really good. When do we get to see the shirt logo?

I'd spring an extra few $$$ if it came in a flexfit.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

I might actually spring for one of those to wear at the Nationals.. sponsorship maybe?

Unfortunately most of the Flexifit hats that I have seen, even if they claim to be unstructured, look like structured hats. They also don't fit as wide a range of head sizes as the adjustable hats do.

I doubt we'll be pursuing that style anytime soon. Sorry.

Looks very nice!

I would give anything to have not planed the family (short get away) this coming up weekend. I would have loved to made it over to Hero Gear, to at least shake a few hands.

I will definitely buy a hat when they go up for sale on here.
