R65 logo hats?

[StanG]

I would like to have a hat with the club's R65 logo and the BMW logo.  Does the club have hats for sale or would I need to locate the art work and have my own made?  If you have done this before and have any advise it would be welcome.

The site moderator Justin B. had hats and t-shirts made up a few years ago, don't know if he still has any unsold still laying around or not .

[Justin B.]

Thankfully they are all gone!    But, I suppose with the new crop of members and the url changing it might be time for another batch...

[StanG]

I thought it would be nice to have an R65 hat at the MOA rally.

And while were at it, I've added a new jacket since the last of the patches have been offered. Was it Melina who had the artwork? I'd like to get another and would be willing to go and have more stitched.

Yeah, Melena did the patch thing...

[Melena]

I hear ya!  If you want to do it, I'll definitely send you what I have.   I'll send the picture it was taken off of and a good picture so you can show them what it's supposed to look like.  

Oh, and I guess you'll have to change the website from www.r65.org to www.bmwr65.org.  That would be a nice update.   I'll bet lots of people would like one or more.  I know Aussie mentioned that he does.  

I'll PM you Rich.

Just a tip for those wanting their own Beemer embroidered stuff...

If you have some black & white atrwork of the BMW logo plus a quick sketch of whatever else you want with it, embroidery shops can scan the art plus add the print copy in a type font of your choosing. Hats, embroidered polo shirts (my fav), logos directly stitched onto your jacket... Blah, blah, blah.

Check it out locally. Several scooter trash buds at work have had their own custom ball caps made with logo and verbiage.

I vote for more flashlights.

[aussie]

I vote for more flashlights.

Yeah - ya can't have too many torches (flashlights to those of us who may wish to continue to butcher the Queen's English   .... and Melena does a pretty nifty side line in BMW hats....(though I'm pretty sure it may clash with my hair style - or lack of it.... )

I'd also spring for a couple of new long sleeved t-shirts - I just love the one I have - and oh, Melena is correct... I'm interested in a patch as well...

[ukzknos]

I don't know why living in the north of England but....I'd love a couple of T-shirts.

We Brits don't seem to do hats nowadays!

Maybe we need to get ourselves organized again and put up a little 'store'.. maybe we could figure out how to get a few bucks from each item sold to go toward the cost of maintaining the website, etc?

If Justin and Melena are too busy, I might see if I can help out somehow - there is a shirt screen printing/embroidering business nearby in the next town - I can check their prices to see if they'd be competitive to what Justin was able to score..   If I don't get some new clients soon, I may end up with more time on my hands than I care for.

[Justin B.]

The time isn't the issue, if everybody is agreed on another whatever I'll get the ball rolling.  The issue with having a "store" is it's hard enough tieing up several hundred dollars for a short-term let alone stocking a "store" with colors and sizes that I might get stuck with because nobody wants them.  It took me several months to finally get rid of everything from the last hat purchase...

So, what's it gonna be, hats or T-shirts?

[msbuck]

There's always cafepress.  You just sign up, design the items you want and they handle everything else.  I haven't done it myself, but it might be worth checking out.  I'm not sure how the prices compare either...

[Melena]

Aida, I think you have a good idea there.  I have a feeling that the prices are based on how many you order, though.  So, a certain amount would have to be ordered to get a better price.  But, it looks like once the design is there you can use it again.  I can't tell how that works though and how each person would order their own.  I don't see that they do patches either.

Rich, the modified version looks great!
