I'm looking into having a "914 GURL" hat done for myself, but got to thinking...(dangerous, I know) if others of you might be interested, perhaps the production costs would come down.

I'm envisioning an easy-fit , low profile style baseball hat, in kahki or light gray.

Let me know how many people are interested so I can get a more proper price quote.

Guys, great gift for the daughters, girlfriends and wives

Thanks!

Something like sean's hats?

Posted by: Jenny Aug 13 2004, 10:45 AM

Aww, Gwen. You should make it a gurly pink.

Jen

Posted by: GTeener Aug 13 2004, 10:53 AM

low profile style, yes...

I ordered myself a club hat too. You can never have enough hats in sunny California

Posted by: GTeener Aug 13 2004, 10:56 AM

Does that mean I can add you to the count, Jen?
We could do a girlie pink hat, but the artwork won't stand out very well.

I'm thinking black text looks better though.

I'll order one for my wife - even though we don't have a 914 anymore...

Posted by: itsa914 Aug 13 2004, 11:02 AM

Yep that's what I ment.

- Garold

PS. I would order one for my wife

Posted by: GTeener Aug 13 2004, 11:04 AM

Unless I make the car color more shocking pink and the hat color is a pale pink

Hmmm...

Now there's an idea...

Wife doesn't really care for pink...liked the kahki Idea though...

Posted by: GTeener Aug 13 2004, 11:12 AM

Actually, I'm more partial to the kahki hat too.

Posted by: Meredith Aug 13 2004, 11:27 AM

Fun, I'll take one!

I'm not sure what colors would look best though...do you have any pictures?

Mer

Posted by: GTeener Aug 13 2004, 11:35 AM

Excellent Mer!

Just trying to get an idea (for pricing) first of how many hats to order.

The artwork I'm tending towrads is the 2nd image I posted (with black lettering), unless the shocking pink example is more popular.

Hat style I'm looking for is the low-profile, easy-fit kind, like the kahki 914club hats.

Posted by: Britain Smith Aug 13 2004, 11:43 AM

I think that you should just use the profile of the car in your picture and remove the face inside it. I would get one for my wife if it looked like that.

-Britain

Posted by: Jenny Aug 13 2004, 11:55 AM

I'm in for one. Nix the hot pink though. early 90s flashback. Ugh...

Jen

Posted by: Meredith Aug 13 2004, 11:59 AM

I would have to agree with that. There are just some things that need to stay in the past. Florescent is one of those things...

Mer

Posted by: Meredith Aug 13 2004, 12:00 PM

I like that idea. Is that workable?

My wife insisted I get a hat from Seanery during the MWC. Her hair was all over the place. Count me in for one. She likes the kaki too.

Posted by: aircooledboy Aug 13 2004, 02:10 PM

I didn't want to pay more than $20 for my hat either, that's why I invited you all to share in the fun

Posted by: seanery Aug 13 2004, 02:24 PM

Haha!
I'd take one or two for when I go out in drag

Or when you're driving like one!

Sorry man, you asked for it

Posted by: Eddie Williams Aug 13 2004, 02:34 PM

I'll take one also for the wife. I like the idea about hot pink on khaki with black letters. Sounds good.

Posted by: Meredith Aug 13 2004, 02:42 PM

I agree that the black lettering make more of an impact. So what are people thinking...khaki hat, light pink car, no face, black lettering?

That's not a leading question, is it?

Well ya'll I'm overwhelmed with the positive response so far.

I know I shouldn't be so democratic about the design but...

I won't be doing 2 different style.

I'm sticking with the light pink car color, with black lettering, on a kahki hat.

With Face or Without Face seems to be up in the air so far...

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Aug 13 2004, 07:35 PM

Speaking for my girlfriend...
Kahki or black (esp. black) will go with anything (clothing-wise)
No face, detracts from the image.
Bold lettering, definitely.

Speaking for me...
No hot pink. Flourescents fade over time and then look crappy.

Speaking for both of us...
Why "gurl"?
Why not just simply "girl"?
Or how about "grrl"?

Posted by: scruz914 Aug 13 2004, 08:04 PM

I'll take one for my daughter. My wife and other daughter do not much care about the 914 (sigh...). Whatever design/colors you, or the majority, decide will be fine. Personally I like it without the face.

-Jeff

Posted by: trekkor Aug 13 2004, 09:27 PM

If you don't put as girl in the window, what makes it a "914 Girl" hat and not just a hat?

My girl might wear one.

Posted by: anthony Aug 14 2004, 01:01 PM

You could put me down for one. I think black would look awesome. Is there any way to do two colors of hats?

Posted by: Meredith Aug 14 2004, 01:12 PM

I don't know if there's enough demand (and orders) to warrant a second color.

It would look nice in black, but the problem with that is the tires and the top of the car would blend in with the hat.

Mer

Posted by: Joe Ricard Aug 14 2004, 02:57 PM

OK guys. Now we need a "914 guy" hat to match the wife's. Since yellow Porsches are faster this is what we do. kaki hat yellow car same design change the words to "914 guy"

So now I need one of each.

Posted by: /L. Aug 14 2004, 04:22 PM

Put me down for 1 hat. I have a black car and a black hat with a pink 914 would be great. But if not I'm happy with pink, no face and in black lettering. Thanks

Posted by: Chris914n6 Aug 14 2004, 09:50 PM

I like it but it needs pink between the tail lights and the bumpers should be black on top, white under. I know it shouldn't bug me but it looks funny.

Now only if the g/f hadn't gotten herself kicked to the curb... :finger2:

Posted by: Meredith Aug 14 2004, 11:37 PM

Yeah, really. This will be my third hat. It's almost embarrassing, but at least now I have more wardrobe options!

Geeze, I'm such a girl.

Mer

Posted by: Jenny Aug 15 2004, 12:07 AM

you're telling me! Brian and I each have a blue and khaki one. Plus this third run of orange hats, I'm getting one for myself, and one for my uncle (who knows nothing about 914s, but really likes the previous two Zephyr hats). And now it looks like I'm getting another khaki one, with pink embroidering. We have one of those hat racks that go over the top of the door, and between Brian's baseball and my 914 obsessions, it's exploding... I really should draw the line at the fourth 914 hat...

OMG Jenny!

that is OUT OF CONTROL!

(seriously, it seems a little unhealthy )

Posted by: Jenny Aug 15 2004, 12:29 AM

that's not including my blue 914 hat, which is semi-permanantly looped around the shift knob of the teener. This prevents the crazy haired that would normally occur should the top be off. Plus it keeps the sun out of my eyes, since I'm usually too short for the visor to do me any good.

Jen

Posted by: Jeroen Aug 15 2004, 10:40 AM

Pink on Kahki???
What kinda color combo is that

Make it white. Will look much better with the pink...

Posted by: Meredith Aug 15 2004, 02:29 PM

The white would get dirty so quickly that it would end up looking like khaki anyway. This saves a step.

Mer

Posted by: GTeener Aug 16 2004, 10:17 AM

In defense of my design.

I was trying to be cool with the "gurl" spelling. A bit arbitrary I guess. I concede that there are other cool/funny ways to spell it.

I'll give this limited edition hat a try and if it is well received and relatively easy to manage, I'll consider doing a new design variation next year.

But the first release will look like this:


Attached image(s)

Posted by: GTeener Aug 16 2004, 10:25 AM

Black would look cool, but the design would have to change a little.

Since I've never orchestrated something like this before I'm going to keep it as simple as possible. One design. One hat color.

Maybe next year, a new design variation, on a different color of hat....

Posted by: GTeener Aug 16 2004, 10:33 AM

You can never have enough hats.

Especially us gurlz with long hair in convertibles. Keeps the hair contained (out of the face & eyes) plus offers some sun protection

Hats are also easier to wear regularly than t-shirts -- for gurlz anyway...

Posted by: Mueller Aug 16 2004, 01:31 PM

I like it...with or without the "face", no big deal....put me down for 2, one for the wife and one for me when I'm watching a Barbara Streisand movie

Posted by: Pam Aug 16 2004, 02:42 PM

I'm surprised nobody has ownership of that particular 914 'cartoon' drawing.....unless its you, GTeener, I'd think you'd have to get permission to use that on a hat. I know I see that image on various avatars and never knew who owned the original drawing and the rights to it.

-Pam

Posted by: GTeener Aug 16 2004, 03:03 PM

If you can find the original artist, send 'em my way if he's got a problem with what I'm doing.

The design I'm using is a personally edited variant of the original, which I've only seen on the web posted in one place as part of misc. 914 stuff. Would it make a difference if I redrew it myself, because I am capable.

I'm not trying to make a profit in this venture, if that's what you're worried about, just make something fun and a little unique for us female enthusiasts.

Posted by: Pam Aug 16 2004, 03:09 PM

Not 'worried' about anything, GTeener. Just making sure you knew if you didn't originate the design or make material changes to it someone could cause problems for you down the road.

I'm not on the order list - not much for 'special' things for females......so I don't care one way or the other - just trying to give you a heads up.

-Pam

Posted by: GTeener Aug 16 2004, 03:20 PM

I appreciate the heads up. I had considered it originally before setting the idea loose to the club.

I have made material changes to the original artwork, as others familar with the original will vouch.

Posted by: Jeroen Aug 16 2004, 05:30 PM

I like the face/head in the car. Gives it a more agressive look
How about spelling it as GRRRRL

Like in Tank Girl

Hey! How'd you get my picture!?

Where'd you get your avitar art?

No more design changes will be made. Maybe next year I'll return the face and go for the more aggressive Race Grrl look, if this round goes well. It would narrow the market though...

Just wanted to give ya'll the update. Definitely looks like there is plenty of interest to continue.

I've got 4 RFQ's out with vendors, but it's still looking like the final cost will be $20/ea, which will include domestic shipping.

I'll post a picture of the final sample hat once I get one from the vendor I decide to go with.

Then I'll start collecting payments and shipping info from all of you who said you wanted to buy (38 hats as of right now). Just like Sean does it with the club hats

Still taking reservations

Excellent question!

I don't have an exact schedule yet, but I'm hoping I'll have the hats the begining of October.

I'm waiting for the 2nd sample hat to come. Then if I like it, I'll give the vendor the go and I think it's supposed to take 7-10 days for the order to ship to me.

Once I get the hats I'll start processing the orders according to payments received.

As of right now, I have 52 hats "reserved" based on expressed interest, and I ordered a total of 72.

I'm presuming there are people out there that may be waiting to see the real thing before committing, plus new people to the forum, so I ordered a few extras.

The holidays are right around the corner too

Jen

Posted by: GTeener Sep 14 2004, 03:31 PM

I want it to be closer to the artwork I sent. Little details that bug me but probably few would notice. What can I say I'm picky...

Tweeks like:

- The bumper colors to be reversed
- More black around the tires (missing sidewalls)
- There' s some pink overstiching over the back tire that I don't like.

I wasn't happy with the 2nd sample I got last week and am awaiting a correction. This time I've been promissed a picture of the stitch file sans hat, which should be quicker.
Hoping to see it this week.

I'm feeling 98% confident they'll get it right this time, which means that I can give my vendor the OK and have the hats to me within 5-7 days.

If you ordered a hat and haven't paid yet, please do so soon. We're getting really close.

Thanks ya'll

paypal sent! thanks so much!


now i just need a new girlfriend to wear it




you guys need to set me up.

Posted by: Jenny Sep 22 2004, 12:43 PM

What? I thought you had one... Ya gotta stop hanging out at the AXs, and go to more college parties.

Jen

Posted by: GTeener Sep 22 2004, 12:51 PM

Ya, the AX thing isn't helping me find a boyfriend either.

They'd start calling me Mrs Robinson if I went trolling college parties though

~Gwen

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 22 2004, 12:53 PM

yeah, err, she broke it off... that was about a month ago now. don't get me started.


college parties: i'm not *supposed* to date or socialize with my students...

not that there haven't been some, uhmm, near misses. hey, i'm only 25.


surely you have some hot single friends, jenny?

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 22 2004, 12:54 PM

are you joking???!! theres like a 100:1 ratio guys to gals!

Posted by: Jenny Sep 22 2004, 01:00 PM

Unfortnuately, almost all my friends are 914 peeps, and you know most of them already. Don't think you're interested! You're definitely someone I'd introduce my hot single friends to though... Enjoy your singledom while you have it!!

Jen

Posted by: GTeener Sep 22 2004, 01:02 PM

Single guys?

Well then it must just be me

Posted by: Jenny Sep 22 2004, 01:05 PM

It's not you Gwen. Most of them are married to their cars.

Jen

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 22 2004, 01:19 PM

lmao

Posted by: GTeener Sep 22 2004, 01:49 PM

Well my car is hotter than I am

Posted by: davidcalvin Sep 22 2004, 02:26 PM

I like the look of that last one. Nice color with no face.

I would take 2.

Thanks..

David

Posted by: Meredith Sep 22 2004, 06:47 PM

I'll have to keep that in mind!

Mer

PS- I'll send out a check for the hat tomorrow. $20, right?

Posted by: Dave-O Sep 22 2004, 08:54 PM

no woman no cry! You've got better things to worry about right now anyway!

I don't have a g/f either but i'm going to get a hat for when one of my adventerous "lady friends" goes for a drive with me . Paypal will be sent shortly.

David

Posted by: GTeener Sep 23 2004, 10:37 AM

Correct. Thanks!

Posted by: GTeener Sep 24 2004, 12:17 PM

Hi all,

Just got the picture of the car stitch file with the edits I requested. I'm very pleased with it. Hope you are too.

I'm working on taking delivery of the hats by October 1st (end of next week).

I'll keep you posted.

Once I receive the hat shipment I will mail them out to those whom I've received payment.

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 24 2004, 02:16 PM

oh god, you have no idea how embarassing it is when my students correct me





i don't know how the hell i got into this..

Posted by: Meredith Sep 24 2004, 02:19 PM

You needed some way to support your 914 habit...Apparently teaching was the easiest way to do so.

Mer

Posted by: GTeener Sep 24 2004, 02:41 PM

Andy, you make Rorschach proud.

Posted by: Toast Sep 24 2004, 02:46 PM

I think Andy has Wayyyy too much time on his hands....

Posted by: Toast Sep 24 2004, 02:53 PM

Awesome hat! Is it to late for me to order one?

Posted by: GTeener Sep 24 2004, 03:27 PM

I ordered a few extras, so, no you're not too late. Still some unclaimed.

Posted by: GTeener Sep 27 2004, 03:51 PM

Here's this week's delivery update...

Apparently the manufacturer is behind schedule. I've been told to expect my order to get to me around Oct. 13.

I was really hoping to have them this week.

I'm hoping they will suprise me and deliver early, but as of today, it looks like I won't be able to ship hats out to all of you who've paid until the 3rd week of October.

I hope no one is in a hurry. Sorry

~Gwen

Posted by: ArtechnikA Sep 27 2004, 03:59 PM

stuff happens.

but do please keep us posted. as it gets close i may ask you to drop-ship to someone local to the FFC instead of me ...

Posted by: aircooledboy Sep 27 2004, 04:02 PM

We'll see what happens, but wifey might like that idea too.

Posted by: GTeener Sep 27 2004, 04:09 PM

What does FFC mean? Far Flung Country?

Posted by: phantom914 Sep 27 2004, 04:11 PM

Fall Foliage Classic

Posted by: monkei Sep 27 2004, 08:08 PM

I just sent payment, I meant to do it the other day but a client with a SQL server crash took priority. I just made the payment but didnt include my alias with it. Guess I should have read here first. It should be obvious, first initial and last name. I look forward to getting them and giving them to my girls.

Posted by: BiG bOgGs Sep 30 2004, 07:00 PM

My wife is disapointed that the "Got Cones" isnt on the hat.....Maybe on the back?

Posted by: GTeener Oct 1 2004, 07:47 AM

Nope...

Maybe next hat endeavor I won't restrict my design to "gurls" only

I need to finish selling the 914 GURL hats first!

I could look into having my avitar design made into an embroidered iron-on patch maybe...

Would that be of interest to anyone? It would allow for more flexible application (shirts, bags, hats, towels, pants, cloth upholstery, etc...)

Posted by: HarveyH Oct 1 2004, 09:01 AM

My wife doesn't do hats, but she would be interested in a Tee or a tote. Particularly if in
Purple

Your avatars are very creative and I have liked all of the ones I have seen.
You should go ahead and promote them, even though you do not have all of the 914 gurl hats sold. Heck, get out of control and do a bunch at once.

I do like the idea of the patches. Good way to start out. Then you would be able to see what people use them on and get marketing ideas from there. (shirts, tanks, totes, ties, panties , ect.)

Posted by: GTeener Oct 1 2004, 09:44 AM

LOL

When I was a kid I always wanted a purple Porsche.

I'm afeerd that purple would not be my 1st choice for product marketing though. I'm more apt to stick to traditional 914 colors. Red is on the top of my list. Orange probably 2nd (to match the cone), White 3rd.

Posted by: itsa914 Oct 1 2004, 09:48 AM

A patch in orange with the 'got cones' would be kool.
hint hint

Posted by: GTeener Oct 1 2004, 09:49 AM

Thanks for the encouragement. It all takes money and time

I also have a pesky day job that I need to keep the teener rolling, along with the other expenses of life

Posted by: GTeener Oct 5 2004, 10:46 AM

OK ya'll,

As of this morning, the hat shipment is still scheduled to ship to me from the factory tomorrow. It will take 5-7 days to get to me, so October 13 is still the ETA to me.

I have discussed the possibility of having a few hats drop shipped for FFC (per request by some of you).

I need to know TODAY how many hats fall in to this category...

...AND is there one trustworthy person in the FFC area willing to accept the drop shipment and distribute the orders for me. Let me know ASAP and include a shipping address.

~Gwen

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 5 2004, 10:56 AM

seems like if you can turn them right around on the 14th they'll still have a full 7-day week to get where they're going. if you were thinking of Priority (not Express...) Mail that should be plenty of time even for coast-to-coast. USPS has actually been running pretty smoothly lately ...

so - if you can get it to me not later than Oct 21, send it directly. i think of the FFC people, we're the farthest East, so if you can get it here in time, it should work for others -- except maybe the people who are leaving on Thursday...

Posted by: GTeener Oct 5 2004, 11:13 AM

Yes, I was already planning to send them Priority Post.

I won't be able to turn everyone's hats around on the 14th, I do have a "real" job.

How many hats are intended for FFC?

Anyone know? I'm aware of 2 definites.

~Gwen

Posted by: itsa914 Oct 5 2004, 11:43 AM

I know I will be there (Garold Shaffer) and so will aircooledboy (Chris DeRango), qa1142 (William Lutman), and ArtechnikA (Rich Herzog). That's all I see so far.
You can mail them to me if you want and I will pass them out for you. Just let me know.

- Garold

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 5 2004, 11:48 AM

i'm good with this plan too; whatever's gonna work...

Posted by: GTeener Oct 5 2004, 12:52 PM

Thanks for the offer. That count alone represents 8 hats.

I think Dave Monk (hi ho silber) is part of yer group too.

~G

Posted by: seanery Oct 5 2004, 01:15 PM

Dave was planning on attending the FFC.

You can send them to me as well, if Garold has too much to bring down.

Posted by: GTeener Oct 5 2004, 01:42 PM

OK.

How about I send the 9 hats to you Sean?

You sure you don't mind distributing them?

Posted by: GTeener Oct 5 2004, 02:38 PM

OK FFC people:

Garold Shaffer
Chris DeRango
William Lutman
Rich Herzog
Dave Monk

I'm sending your 9 hats to Sean, since I'm fairly confident he'll also be dealing with the club hats then too.

Hope all yer GURLs like 'em

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 5 2004, 02:43 PM

Thanks, Gwen !

Posted by: aircooledboy Oct 5 2004, 03:16 PM

Beauty eh.

Take off.

Thanks Gwen, Thanks Sean.

Posted by: hi ho silber Oct 5 2004, 04:38 PM

Perfect
Thanks again Gwen

Posted by: GTeener Oct 6 2004, 10:41 AM

Crap!!!!

Why can't anything go smoothly!



Apparently the factory shipped the hats to me a day earlier than expected by the vendor.

No factory drop shipping happening. I should get the factory shipment on the 12th or 13th...

Would you FFC people prefer I send your hats individually or to Sean?

Posted by: Jenny Oct 6 2004, 10:47 AM

Don't sweat it, Gwen. Getting them early is a GOOD thing. If it'd be easier for you to ship them to Sean, I'm sure the FFC attendees won't mind..

Jen

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 6 2004, 10:48 AM

i think they should go to someplace where they can be received on Friday or Saturday - i don't know Sean's plans for certain but i expect he'd be in Columbus rather than Indy those days...

maybe they can go to the site of the "work on a 914 day" event (Doug?) or to the HQ hotel ...

Posted by: aircooledboy Oct 6 2004, 12:09 PM

I'm flexible (figuratively only ). If you are sending others to Sean, send my 4 to Sean. If you are sending everybody else's individually, just send mine here. What ever is easiest for you.

Posted by: itsa914 Oct 6 2004, 08:19 PM

Same for me.

Posted by: GTeener Oct 7 2004, 11:23 AM

Thanks ya'll!
