I'm with headchange. voted no but will help with grp by.

I voted yes - It is still a good buy. Maybe not exceptional but still a good buy.

I had already sent $30 so skip the cap and let me know how much additional to cover the difference plus shipping on the jacket.

Thanks for your time and trouble on this!

At $14, they were loosing money on the jackets, without counting the cost of the stiching. I priced around over the weekend and the cheepest I could find was $27 a jacket PLUS $100 setup fee with a 50 jacket minimum. So it's still a good deal, just not an amazing one like we thought.

$100 setup fee? Is this for embroidery? When I have stuff done my setup fee is around $35.

Send me a PM and I might be able to put you in touch with someone who can get jackets and the logo done on them for a cheaper cost. I am not making any promises though.

Yes, setup for the embroidery is more expensive. I am going to stop by a local shop on my way home tonight. I will keep everyone informed.

I'm still in, but whatever is decided is cool with me. Too bad we didn't jump b4 they realized their mistake.

It's still a good deal, but if I end up putting that $$ towards another DD hammock, that's ok too.

I was getting my embroidery setup fees for $35. I called my dealer just a minute ago and they are going to send me the information they have on coats via email. I will post it here once I get it. I am not trying to take away from what Iafte started. I am just trying to help Iafte resolve the coat issue. I am not going to take this and run with it. If Iafte likes what I find out then he can use it or use what he has.

Thanks ATTroll.

I was contacted by one of the places today and we are going to discuss it more tomorrow after I send her the jacket specs and the design.

I voted no but have changed my mind./

Change of heart. Count me in if needed to make the jacket order happen. Let me know. Also, will need your mailing address again to send the $9.
Thanks,
Mike

Ok guys, we know we can get the jackets at the price from cafe press, I'm working to see if I can get them cheeper from this other place that contacted me today. I'll keep everyone posted.

She sounded like she would be able to beat the price, just have to send her the specs tonight.
