OzSTOC Hats (At Haieg's request)

[STeveo]

Definatly need the ST1100 and ST1300 on the caps/hats/vest. Point of order, the 1100 has to be first as it was made first and without it being a great bike Honda wouldn't have sold any, and so no 1300.

If the intention is to promote what we are about, then wy not replace the"ST 1100 ST 1300" wording with "Honda ST Owners Club"

When I people ask what I ride I often reply, ST1100. To which they answer, "oh a BMW "

Sorry dab, no disrespect intended. But I wouldn't wear one.

Dark cap and light colour hat.

I think the ST1300 and 1100 Are needed to promote what we're are trying to promote, otherwise it's just some random letters OzSTOC mean nothing to a prospective member or another motorbike enthusiast.

If you had shown me those letters without explanation when I first got my ST I wouldn't have known what they meant. But place the bike there and "hey, that's my bike"

Ok that's about 50cents worth.

People,

I am comming fairly late in this discussion but would like to suggest A legionair cap as supplied by the Cancer Council.

http://www.cancervic.org.au/store/shop_hats/shop_hats_adults1/hats-mens-rash-hat

These caps are spf50 and cooler to wear than most caps or hats. They stow very well in an ST glove box. They have a toggle to adjust the size.



Could I also suggest that we pick up the orange colour from our shirt an use this for the cap. This would serve two purposes.

1) Tie the hat colour to ou existing colours.

2) increase the visibility of the user thus adding to the safty of the wearer whirl road side with their bike.

You may also want to consider visibility when deciding on a colour for the vest. Black is the worst colour to make you visible on a dull winters day.

YUCK
count me OUT

[harieg]

ok this is some of the stuff we have come up with

Caps, will cost around the $10-$15 (Below is not the actual cap we would use, just something i had in the shop)



Bucket Hats, Will cost around the $16-$18 Mark (Below is a basic bucket hat, i am looking at other designs



Vests: Guessing around the $24-$30 Mark (the vest below i think we can do in a Navy or Black)



We had to take the essence of the logo to embroider it as it is to stitch heavy to be cost effective, and also for it to fit properly with the detail on the caps and bucket hats.

Happy to hear thoughts and opinions?

SO all the vest will sport a Sheila's name ??

YOUR WRONG
the CX was Honda's first try
and very successful

Let me explain this one a little better, it is not as simple as wacking something on a hat or a shirt.

If you read all the posts here, you all want different colours of hats, and then some want hats, and then caps, I am paying my digitizer to redraw the Ozstoc logo so it will fit on bucket hats correctly, as the badges wont fit properly, and the logo itself is over 20,000 stitches and does not stitch out well on just a shirt or a badge. the next problem is cost, we have t purchase around 50 of either caps or bucket hats to be able to buy it and put in the shop at any reasonable cost.

Caps are simple, they are adjustable, and easy to deal with.

Bucket hats are another problem as one size does not fit all, there are small, medium, large, and extra large, so we just cant buy one size.

Vests are another problem again, as has already pointed out, some want vests some want a full jacket style with sleeves.

so it is not as simple as giving a price, and putting it up for sale, we have such a diverse range of members, and wants and likes, we just cant make it all.

I do my very best to cater where I can, and coming up with ideas, but i would appreciate a little bit of slack when it comes to doing all this as there is quite a bit involved.

if you have problems with any of the above your welcome to ring me on 0488 385 858 if you need further explanation 

Cheers

Yes Harie, but I meant the first ST.

These are examples/prototypes, created to generate conversation and constructive input.

just for interests sake today's exercise cost $90 in staff wages, $40 in Embriodery, $30 in product, and me having to sweet talk my Embriodery staff to do the job! Diesel do I get a pay rise? 

As for the Sheila's name, that is a girls vest in my partners size so I made one that she can use :)

[Mitch]

  They look great Streak,  time and money well spent.

i just wanted to say i haven't posted anything in a while.  :)

[harieg]

come on " G ", just poking a bit of fun at you, no malice intended

thanx Gaz, we needed that LITTLE gem

[Shiney]

I like the hats, they look great

Dab could be on to something though, replacing the wording “ST1300 & ST1100” with ST Owners Club or some such could be helpful

But I’m happy (and will get some) either way

Awesome work Streak, thankyou

[Aj1300]

Streak, great job , I agree with Shiney about dropping the 1300/100 forSt owners club. I like the cap black, tell all the knockers to get stuffed, you've done a great job mate.

[Tipsy]

  py

Which ever way it goes I will have one if each as well.

Tipsy

[saaz]

I will have at least one of each of the hats and vest, in whichever colour goes with the shirts.

[Skip]

Hey Streak, My 2 cents.

Bucket hat needs the ST1300 ST1100 on it as well. Cap looks great, velcroe adjustment on the back would be good.

I thought we were talking about a leather vest, my mistake.  But they look good, I'd be able to wear one during the Townsville Winter, this year winter was on a Wednesday.

Looking very good

Sabie, with all the wear you'll get out of yours, it will be a family heirloom for generations. 

[Sabie]

LMAO, skip...... 

[alans1100]

I'm not in the market for a hat but maybe a re-think on the ST1100/1300 design may have to happen sooner or later.

The current design is fine at the moment but if  the 1300 is near the end of it's life and another ST version of some type is released will that mean a third bike added to the patch?

Maybe this is the time to start thinking of a design that suits the clubs focus on the ST series.

[Streak]

Ok here is the Latest design we have come up with, remember we have limited space to work with on caps and bucket hats, so we are working simple, make it stand out, and retain the essence of the badge we put on all our shirts.



cheers

Streak

[Brock]

I like it,

And thats all that matters

[WendyL]

I like it,

And thats all that matters

I do too! 

[Abe]

SOLD, bloody love it.

Once again great work.
Dave

[RubenCan]

Love it. It allows for future model changes and matches the orange of the shirts. I reckon it would look great on a Navy Blue or Black hat/cap/vest.
I am amazed at how you manage to run a business and coordinate this....Streak, you are the man ......there must be some great lady behind all of this also and my admiration goes equal to her. (All praise Teela also)
