I'd buy a cap as well.

Charge us $10 more than your cost, so it helps defray the cost of you guys using them for your son's efforts.

My wife buys them for our HS booster club. I think you have to order 50 or 100 patches at a time, but you can order as many or as few hats as you'd like. If you already have the patches, that makes it easy.

I think a Richardson 112 hat, with a patch, was something like $14 each. Maybe less. PM me and I'll see about her helping you guys, if you'd like.

I love this story! So much good all around.

Ok. We have a project going in the shop - Alex is helping build a little free library.

But I'll work on the cap project as soon as I can.

Little informal poll....

A) Embroidered directly on the cap

or

B) patches attached to the cap

Trucker style seems the way to go, but any comments on style or colors is welcome, too

Don't want to add to your plate as you seem to stay busy but would an online store associated with the channel be something you two could develop together? Help him learn more of the business side of his venture, supplement his education and allow you to provide even more educational content. Would allow those who want hats to support the channel without affecting your inventory and you could offer other items as well. I'm sure others here with experience in this and can offer advice.

I'm in for 2 as well and would like to be 'overcharged' as it were above, you know to combat inflation and do the right thing.

Ok. Been looking at different ways to set this up all weekend.

I have a handful of caps and some shirts to test out a platform.

More caps will be ordered soon and hopefully I'll have any kinks worked out by the time they arrive.

So if someone wants to test out the online order, we have 5 trucker hats and 10 dad hats to ship now. If you get a crazy shipping cost or anything else quirky, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.

Note that the shirts that say ship from printer won't come directly from us and we can't control the shipping cost.

Worked just fine for me. Ordered two trucker hats and a tshirt and it showed about $15 for shipping. Thanks!

Thanks Mason! And Alex. So, after I purchased, my wife told me she would rather have the Dad hat instead of a trucker hat. Can you just swap that out when you box them up?

Ordered a shirt! Glad to support such a good cause. I don't know you but when you write about your children it usually brings tears to my eyes so I'd say you're a damn good Dad.

Absolutely awesome for you and your son.

Seen quite a few of the videos and glad you have continued to make them.

Trucker hats are sold out!

If it's possible, you might set things up as a pre-order, that way you aren't out money up front.

Still in for a hat, just missed the last few you had.

MasonB

12:33p, 4/29/24

So we only had a handful of trucker caps and you guys wiped us out pretty quick!

More are on order.

As a funny aside, Alex's math assignment today was adding and subtracting money. He said, "Dad, can I skip this since you are already having me keep the books for my store?"

Yes, son. Yes you can.

The value of these lessons will go far beyond any money he makes - they will be invaluable. So thank you. Thank you, tons:

I think I saw an option where your card doesn't get charged until the order ships...let me do some digging.

Serves me right for not checking the thread in a few days. Still in for caps, I will check back to see when others are available.

Thanks!!

I meant pay up front pre-order! not a delayed pay.

I caught that and appreciate you for thinking of it. Just not sure I am comfortable getting the money up front.

It'd be one thing if it's just the good folks of the TexAgs outdoor board, but when I start sharing the link elsewhere, I don't want things to get messy.

But I do appreciate you suggesting a way to make it easier for us.

I think I have the option added to pre-order a trucker hat.
