No thanks necessary, I'm sorry to disappoint you. On paper, having forum apparel looked like a great idea. In practice, it was a real turkey. Everyone wanted a forum t-shirt, until they were ready to ship. Then only 20 or 30 people wanted t-shirts. We sold 3 dozen shirts and sales died in their tracks. It was awful. What started out to be a practical way to support the forum turned into a real nightmare. You've no idea what it was like, walking past a closet with over $500 worth of unsold t-shirts for months. We finally got rid of them all and I swore I would never do it again.

My mistake was not buying more when they were available. I used to wear my forum T-shirt whenever I took my bucket out but now I only wear it when I go to shows or events. It never fails to draw a comment or question but it's starting to show a little wear and I'm trying to extend it's life.

Yeah, if you have one of the shirts, it's definitely on the endangered species list. I put two of them away, wrapped in plastic, so I would always have them. I know a few people bought two, so hopefully the rotation is helping keep them alive.
For those who arrived too late -
Sheesh, looking at those pictures make me want to go check the closet, just to make sure they are all gone. <SHUDDER> I thought I had one of the caps put away, but I guess I forgot to keep one of them. But I regularly wear my jacket in cold weather.

Now that you've posted the picture, prepare for a fresh onslaught of requests. Seriously--very nice design.

I was trying to remember, it was you who ended up with the last of them, wasn't it?
Been on holiday and just got back. Two deer and one turkey with a bow.
Yes I bought all that was left of the t-shirts.

Perhaps with Mike's permission you could scan the front pocket logo and have it embroidered on a golf or polo shirt. This is usually very reasonable in small quanities of just one or two at a time. Just a thought.

I still have both of mine, and I never work in them. I wear them to shows, and cruises, etc.
