914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: Inspired By The Hat GB
Posted by: 7TPorsh Jul 30 2015, 10:48 AM
Inspired by the group buy on the hats; I thought I would do my own to get the color combo i wanted. I had a $5 Porsche embroidered hat from the Pomona Swap Meet. Went down to our local mall and found the sticker, graphics, embroidery kiosk. A little conversation and looking through his available fonts...came up with this..

Looks great, how do they charge for the embroidery ? Haven't noticed those kiosks before; are the part of a chain ?

Good job!
Jim, embroidery kiosks are very common at shopping malls and fairs, etc.
I think the ones in malls are a franchise.
If you bring in your own artwork, they can digitize it for you and embroider it however you want.

Great idea! I'm gonna have something like that done for me.

If you just want lettering they can do that pretty easily. There is a huge choice of fonts and they can adjust sizing. Doing a design is much more work. For that they have to set it up...basically programming the needle pin points by tracing a design to produce a solid image.
Cost me $30

That looks pretty good. But make sure you don't get the attention of the Porsche Lawyers otherwise you will find yourself in court dealing with copyright issues.

I don't think it's an issue...not selling these. Porsche was already on the hat when i bot it....i just added 9 l 4...not 9 1 4 and my plate number....using a standard font.
From what I know Porsche didn't make a model 9L4

I'll tell them this is what I was referring to...even the font matches
