The formerly pink Stingray hat, now changed to putty from that vendor. Haven't you been following?

Dang! And I was so excited about the pink one!

Pixel- still no hurry from this end. The hats arrive when they arrive.

Those poor hats may never again see the light of day

If you're in a hurry, I suggest trying what Chadtower suggested. He was right on the money -- there was a guy at the mall who made me a custom hat for $15. It took 10 minutes, and nothing was misspelled. I'm still looking forward to my BYOAC hat, but this one will suffice until the other arrives.

Where's the pic that Pixel did on there? You got rooked. He told you those flames were gonna just "blend in" with Pixel's button.

All I've EVER seen at those places near me were some hats that looked like ass (asshats, perhaps?) and the level of customization was "whatever letters you want me to put on it dood".

There's a reason I stopped making iron-on t-shirts when I was 10

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #126 on:** December 09, 2005, 06:58:27 pm »

OK. I have good news and bad news and then more good news.

Good news is that the structured hats, putty hats and one khaki hat are done and on their way to me.

Bad news is that the other hats aren't yet on there way due to yet another embroidery mistake.

Which leads me to the other good news...
The embroiderer has reordered the affected hats and has agreed to send the originals as well. So anyone with an affected hat can get an extra free (actually for the extra shipping if significant).

The extras will not have custom names on them.

The mistake was minor - while stitching the BYOAC side, the straps were stitched into place. This means those hats can be adjusted smaller but not larger without cutting the strap to release it. According to the embroiderer this won't affect the majority of people (only "extreme large" has been... errrr... disabled.)

Just to prevent everyone from asking... Will you be contacting those that have a potential free hat? By PM, or in this thread?

Or should we all ask you if we are the "ones" who won the oops lottery?

DrewKaree · « **Reply #128 on:** December 09, 2005, 10:06:59 pm »

What I inferred from that info is that if you had a structured hat, a putty hat, or the khaki hat, the mistake wasn't done to those items, therefore, there is no mistake to make amends for.

Stingray won't be getting 2 pink hats

Have I deciphered the info correctly Pixel?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #129 on:** December 09, 2005, 10:40:45 pm »

Yeah, the structured hats, putty hats and one khaki hat are all fine. There are no duplicates of those. Hopefully I'll get these monday and can ship them out.

The rest of the hats (including the other 8 khaki hats) all have a matching "shorter strap" duplicate that is available free to those whose hats were messed up. Once I can get the exact shipping price I'll post here. Anyone with a matching freebie can paypal the extra shipping cost, reference their BYOAC ID, and I'll add the hat to their shipment. These hats will be a week or two behind the others. No paypals until I get final shipping costs please.

So if you got a structured hat or a putty hat there is no matching freebie. I'm not sure at this point whose khaki hat is fine and in transit.

dabone · « **Reply #130 on:** December 09, 2005, 11:03:56 pm »

It's been so long, I don't even remember which color I did order.

Looks like I will get a hat for xmas!

Later,

I'm guessing that if they'd have shown up by now you would have told us?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #132 on:** December 14, 2005, 01:59:53 pm »

Well I got this email today from the embroiderer.

Hey Mitch,
The replacements came quicker than I expected, so I shipped simultaneously.
They went out yesterday. You might have them tommorow.
Thanks for your patience through all of this

So, hopefully tomorrow for ALL of them!

All hats arrived today. I'll start shipping out tomorrow (monday at the latest!)

The embroidery looks fantastic. The logo is bigger than last years which was a bit of a surprise, but it looks good. I should have pics up tonight by errr... 10pm or so PST.

You didn't show us Stingray's pink one. His hat. Yeah, that's what I meant. Ok folks, move along. Nothin' to see here

Jockstraps with our forum nicknames embroidered on them.

Those look really good! This will be a good Christmas present to myself! I'll be watching for it in the mail this week!

Thanks, Pixelhugger!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #147 on:** December 20, 2005, 07:06:29 pm »

All hats are in transit. I couldn't break away from work yesterday to get them sent so they all went out today. West coast(ish) locations should get them by thursday or friday. East coast may get them by saturday, but depending on holiday slow downs may not see them till monday or tuesday.

Another big thanks for all the patience.

Any chance you can get Stingray's pink jock strap with the embroidered flower to be held for suspicious reasons at the local shipper's office?

ROMbler · « **Reply #149 on:** December 21, 2005, 12:09:05 am »

Thanks for getting them out to us - I know this turned out to be more work than you anticipated!

Happy Holidays!!!

typh92 · « **Reply #150 on:** December 22, 2005, 02:32:51 pm »

By the looks of the pictures it was worth the wait. Good job and thanks again pixel.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #151 on:** December 22, 2005, 02:46:57 pm »

I should note that while the logo is larger than I had expected, it is not as large as the photos would have you think. In looking at these pics the logo appears to take up the entire front of the hat which is not the case.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #152 on:** December 22, 2005, 03:36:22 pm »

Since all the hats shipped at the same time (none were more delayed than any others due to the last embroidery mistake)... I've decided to change the way the extra "irregulars" will be distributed.

I'm going to offer them for $3 each to cover shipping, packaging, (and my time waiting in the holiday post office lines!) to anyone who originally ordered a hat. One "irregular" (hereafter limited edition variant strap

As I said, first come first served. Stake your claim by posting here. Include color and URL location in request. Shipping cost can be paypaled to mitch@cutandrun.tv. INCLUDE COLOR AND URL LOCATION IN PAYPAL ORDER AS WELL AS IN POST.

Failure to send paypal within 24 hours of claim forfeits your request!

ahofle · « **Reply #154 on:** December 22, 2005, 03:52:32 pm »

I'll take one with URL on side in olive.
Thx

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #155 on:** December 22, 2005, 03:57:25 pm »

SOLD! To the lucky man with Daphne wrapped around his head

I'll modify the hats available list above as requests come in.

JonnyBoy · « **Reply #156 on:** December 22, 2005, 04:01:03 pm »

I'll take a black. My e-mail is jpanichella@gmail.com

Can I send you the cash through mail?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #157 on:** December 22, 2005, 04:01:43 pm »

All requests made before monday will be shipped monday or tuesday (depending on post holiday insanity.)

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #158 on:** December 22, 2005, 04:04:31 pm »

Hey Jonny- currently this offer is only open to those who ordered hats at the full price. On monday a new price will be set and the ordering will be open to anyone interested. Sorry for the wait.

JonnyBoy · « **Reply #159 on:** December 22, 2005, 04:05:42 pm »

Oh damn, sorry for not ready thoroughly.

I just saw Freebies in the title and posted like a moron.
