A week or so ago, I posted some pix of a 914 hat that I designed for myself.
It seems like lots of others would like the hats too, so I'm setting up a group buy. Sara will be doing the hard work, I'm just her peon.
Here's the deal:
1) The hats will be offered in two color schemes, as in these pix. But, I'm going to make the blue 914 car outline (on the beige hat) more of a darker shade (more "blue").
2) In order for this to work, I need a MINIMUM of 50 hats total, and a MINIMUM of 12 in each color.
3) The hats are high quality cotton, with a size-adjustment buckle in the back. The car outline and 914 are embroidered. They are "one size fits most."
4) Please realize that I am just Joe Schmoe, not a retail vendor. I have no way to accommodate "special" orders/requests.
5) Price: $25 per hat plus $2 each to help defray our packaging, mailing, and Paypal fees.
6) CON-US only. Sorry, too much of a PITA to mail overseas. Maybe at some future time, once we get this stuff figured out, we can see about accommodating our international 914 aficionados.
So, to see if we can generate enough orders to reach the 50, send the following info. to Sara at: jems2junque@yahoo.com
a) Number of hats total.
b) Number of each color.
c) Your name, your 914World screen name, email address, shipping address, and phone number.
If we get the required number (minimum 50), I will get the hats made up and Sara will send out Paypal requests to you for payment.
If we don't get the required 50, I'll enjoy my hats by myself.

Put me down for one of each Mike & PM or email me when you need the Paypal bucks!
You can get them to me whenever you next come to PCA event I'm at & keep the S&H for yourself! .... ulterior motives to get you out to more fun stuff!
Thanx for doing this Mr. Mike Schmo!
PS - shoot, now I need a bigger hat rack!
Cheers!
Tom

Thanks, Tom. Two down, 48 to go!
Can you please email Sara the info as per above, to her email address at jems2junque@yahoo.com.
She's keeping track of the orders. Thanks!
If you don't hit 50, maybe I can buy some and put them for sale on savethe914.com, so that you meet the minimum order.
Once again it sucks to be in europe....
Great looking hats Mike, timing is perfect since my favorite tan cap is getting pretty frayed. My first thought was for a darker blue for the profile, which I see you will be incorporating. Have you chosen the color yet? In any case, put me down for one tan cap.
Gary
Thanks, Gary. I'll have to see what shades of blue the manufacturer has, but I'm thinking of similar to Alaska blue, or whatever they have that is closest to that. In any case, it will be a nice shade of blue.
Please email Sara with the info. above so we can keep it tallied.
Steve, that would be great. Sara posted also on Facebook and we have a few orders from there already. Of course, I can always order more than 50, so if you want a pile of them, just let me/Sara know!
Just ordered one thanks
Eddy
I'm emailing Sara now. Thanks Mike. I'll take 2 tan hats.
I will send a email also, but just for the count total I will take 6. I would like 3 of each color.
In for one! Email sent.
one more pm sent thanks
i'm in for 2, one of each, e-mail sent!
Alrighty then, getting there! Need some more orders though.
Bump. Come on you slackers, you know you want one.
One.
Olin
Mike,
Will you be at Bruce's swap meet Sunday with some hats?
^^^ Haven't had the hats made up yet. Need more orders still.
Please put me down for 2.
Mike, sent Sara a email for a order.Thanks John
Hey it's summer, buy a damn hat!!!!!!!!
Ordered 2 -- thanks!
OK, we have the 50!
We'll wait a bit for any stragglers, so get yer orders in quick or forever live with the shame, dejection, and sorrow for what "might have been."
Mike,
Do they have the ability to add an "S" to the 914 in that Porsche badge script & center it on the front center seam at "91-4S" on my 2?
It would also work for the guys that were asking for 914-6 the same way.
If not, no biggie, I'll just do something else at a later date.
Cheers!
Tom

To confirm there are only two color options here and they are the ones shown in the first post?
Correct, two color options, as per first post. As also noted, the blue thread on the beige hat will be a "bluer" shade. No other modifications.
Thanks, guys!
Ordered one, sent email, hope not too late.
^^^ Perfecto! Please email Sara with the info.
The project is a definite "go"!
Status:
The GB closes this Friday (July 17) at noon.
So, for any stragglers, email Sara with your order info. per Post #1 in this thread.
Sara will start sending out the PayPal payment requests shortly.
Thanks all for making this work!
Cuda, as soon as you copy this info can you PM an admin to have them remove the details on this post? /\
I would hate to have this persons info public....
Dan, got you added to the list.
Andrew, will do.
Bump for final orders. Get 'em in quick.
Sara is sending out PayPal payment notices to those who have requested hats. Once payments have been received, we will get the order in to the embroidery company. They said they need about a week turnaround.
Then we'll get 'em sent out to you!
Much thanks to you and Sara!! Looking forward to sporting the tan 914 cap in N Cal.
Sent PayPal thanks for this.
Eddy
email sent to sarah for one of each color. thx!
please count me in with at least 2 sets (2 blue and 2 of the light brown)
Thanks, Tavo. Please email Sara per the info in Post #1 in this thread, and we'll get you added to the order sheet!
I'm in........I send my info when I get home from work tonight.
On the train in.
LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL !!
OK, folks, closing the GB today, so a last shout out to stragglers:
Email Sara TODAY with your hat order info., as per Post #1 in the thread.
Thanks, all!
Update: 100% of you have paid.. wow... I am impressed!!
The order will go in to the embroidery company on Monday. He needs about a week for production, then they will be shipped to me and Sara will get them in the mail to you.
I'm ordering a few extras, so if some last minute stragglers want one, let me know.
Remember, never too early to think about Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, birthdays, and misc. gift occasions.
UPDATE:
The hats are here! Sara will start getting them sent out shortly.
The embroidery process took a bit longer than anticipated. The artwork was re-digitized, and the quality of the final embroidery is better than in my original two hat prototypes.
Very pleased with how they turned out.

Coolio!! Thx again for your efforts.
Looking forward to them.
Hey Tom, we will bring your hats to the concours this Saturday. (assuming I don't get senile and forget).
Sara will be judging there. We are still deciding whether to bring both 914s. Should be a goof turnout and good weather (last year it rained during the Spanish landing concours).
Got my hats, they are great, thanks for the effort put into this group buy.
GREAT HAT
My two came today - nice.
Thanks!
Mine came in...thank you!
My hat came in today's mail. Looks great,nice fit. Thanks Sara.
Not yet
Sara & Mike brought mine to the San Diego Concours & they look great.
Thanx Guys!
Tom

PS - "Guys" is a universal non-gender-specific term used by us old guys who grew up in the 60's ... kinda like Bitchen, etc.!
Got it,looks great thanks.
Got mine yesterday! They are great.
I should have ordered more than two since my son took one already.
Thanks again for making this happen.
Warrenoliver
^^^ We have a few spares. Sara will shoot you an email, Warren.
I've received several PMs from people that would like a 914 hat. First run sold out. If there are enough interested parties, I'll do up another batch. So, any interest?
Attached image(s)
I'd like a dark blue one
I would do one of each....
I will take both.
Still interested in a blue one if international shipping is available. or maybe someone can buy an extra one and send to me? I'll paypal the money.
I would do one of each
IF there are TWO in dark blue - I'd like to buy them - well done. Please let me know.
Tony
I'll take a beige one if available!
Mike, Thanks so much for considering to make a second run. Sign me up for 4. One Tan and 3 Blue.
OK, lets get a list going. I'll need to do about 25 in each color to get reasonable pricing.
The current list:
Lucky9146: 3 blue and 1 beige hat
Gmanscott55: 1 blue hat
Ndfrigi: 1 hat (color?)
Jfort: 1 blue hat
Porbmw: 1 blue and 1 beige
Steve: 1 blue and 1 beige
Falcor75: 1 blue
BuddyV: 1 blue and 1 beige
Cracker: 2 blue hats
Dion: 1 beige hat
Bartlett 914 2 beige hats
Wndsnd 1 blue and 1 beige
Downunderman 1 blue and 1 beige
Smg914 1 blue and 1 beige
WLD914 2 blue hats
2 in tan for me please
OK, off to a good start, but need more hat orders to be able to do this.
I will take one of each color.
Thank You.
I'll take one of each color.
I would love some of these with some custom touches. 914-6 on the front and '71 on the back of the hat. Is that possible????
I will take one of each thanks.
I'll take 2 BLUE's please, thank you Bill D.
( I have 2 beige from last year, very nice quality hat)
Gettin' close to enough for a run!
Regarding 914-6, and other "special" requests....
Any changes to the original design requires new artwork to be drawn up, re-digitizing the artwork, set-up changes for the embroidery equipment, etc.
Since this is just for fun (a break-even proposition for me), I just don't have the time to manage all that.
Hmmm.... on a Facebook 914 page some others want 914-6 hats. I guess if I can get the sixers to commit to at least 25 total I'd consider doing it.
Cuda911 - I appreciate the offer but will pass as I don't want to create a possible mess for you. But thanks for the offer.
I'll do a blue one...
One in each color would be good please!
I'm assuming they fit fat heads too....
OK, guys, looks like this is a go!
I can do 914-6 also, if I can get at least five 914-6 hats ordered.
[Edit: Looks like we have enough interest, so 914-6 will be an available option.]
Hey, T-shirts... any interest? I'll need at least 30 confirmed requests. Blue or black or grey. Silk-screened image.
Pricing:
Hats: $25 per hat + $5 each shipping (reduced shipping for multiple items in an order).
Shirts: $20 each + $5 each shipping (reduced shipping for multiple items in an order).

when are the hats likely to be available please? I have a rather large package (!) being shipped to the UK and some hats would look good on the pax seat!
Sadly, I think the timing won't work. Was a good idea though!
OK, guys, final call for orders this weekend. I'll be putting in the hat order this coming week.
Please note the request to change mine to sixer version...if possible
Thanks
Paul
Will do. I am going to try to do the sixers with gold lettering for the "914-6"
[/quote]
Mike Can we stick with same color combo on the 6 version? We really like the red white blue combo on the blue hat. If you decide to make the 6 hats with gold lettering please change my order back to the regular 914 hats. That would be 3 Blue and 1 Tan
Thanks! Jim

Thanks Cuda for doing this. Let me know how to pay .
Per requests, the 914 and 914-6 hats will have the same color schemes as on the original hats. I Figured that the sixers would like gold gold numbers to match the emblem on the cars, but I guess this wasn't the case.
I'll send PM's with PayPal info. when I have the hats ready to send.
I'm headed over to the embroidery shop now to get things finalized. Last chance to get orders in is this week, so let me know.
Just saw this.
If its not too late, beige hat for me.
