Club Obi Wan

Wow, Fedora, you've got a big line outside your door and you haven't even opened yet! I also like the idea of having a page on the website where satisfied cutomers can post comments.

Howdy Fedora:

I can't remember whether I asked to be on your pre-order list. If I did not, how can I get on it and what do you need from me. I know that I will be well down the list (sigh.......), but somewhere is better than nowhere!!!


.....Bruce

Great news, Fedora, I can't wait to hear from you, too!

Awlright! I've had that money set aside for a while, now. SO lookin forward!

Fedora as i have just joined the club my congratulations might be alittle late but all the best with your indy hats, as soon as your website up and running you can count on my order. Not that your be short of customers!

Welcome aboard, Joe King!

Indiana Joe

Thank you Indiana Joe glad to be here.

Langpuss, you are listed. Really guys, the tension is not making the hats, it is waiting on the stuff so I can get started. Making the hats is fun, and enjoyable. I guess I have always been the impatient type. Fedora

Howdy Fedora:

Am I or can I get on your list?

Great, then I guess we aren't expecting too much of you to have our hats on our doorsteps by next week? ... or next month is good. :junior: -IJ

Sorry if I've missed something here, what is Fedora's web site listing (www. ???????? ). I want to put into my favorites as well. I will probably be ordering mine after he's got the rock rolling so to speak.

Indy Skip has registered the domain name as www.adventurebilt.com. Now, I just need a site to put there. Fedora

Fed, did you get my PM about helping with your site if you need it?

Wow, how did I miss that??!!! A pm has been sent. Fedora

PM replied to.

I will also add, can't wait for the hats!

Ok guys. I will start contacting the preorder folks this week to get the specs and sizes. I will have all of these completed before Christmas, in case you are giving yourself a present this year. Please, no more reblocks until after Christmas. I got a passel of hats to make. thanks Fedora

Fedora,
Greatest news I've heard all week! -And I am on vacation!
I hope I am near the beginnign of the list.

I'm anxious to see the results fedora. By the way I think this thread must set a record for the number of views and replies. I think that says something about the interest in your business.

regards fedoralover

By the way I think this thread must set a record for the number of views and replies.

I have been astounded by the response!!! To end this thread, at least on my part, remember I have special prices for the COW members, as opposed to someone who just orders off of my soon to be site. I have top men working on it now. I stand behind these hats 100 per cent. If it is not the finest Raiders fedora that you own, send it back, like you got it, and I will gladly refund your money. Or, if it needs modified, in crown height or brim width, I will take care of that too. I want to express my deeply held thanks for the administrator and staff here, for allowing me basically to sell hats on this site. In the future, I will not burden the space with this again, but will use pms and emails to do the business of selling, etc. Thanks guys. Fedora

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!

I nearly peed myself I'm so happy! Fedora, you just made my day!

bink

Coffee'll do that to ya, Bink. And Fedora, Great News! pretty soon museum currator will be replaced with Vendor Can't wait!

High Regards, Daryl.

pretty soon museum currator will be replaced with Vendor

Ah, that is good! I was afraid if I got close to Bink's rating, I would be a scoudrel too. Fedora

Binks being a scoundrel has nothing to do with hit count!!!

I was amazed at how quick Namebrand got on this. Like a terrier on a rat. He worked on it all weekend, and I want to publically express my deep appreciation for his enthusiasm and work. He is a top man, and highly recommended. Fedora

Hey! It takes a LOT of work to be as much of a scoundrel as I am! Send me $19.95 (or your credit card number) and I'll share with you my secrets on how to become one yourself!

But Fedora, you are far to honest and good a man to ever be a scoundrel. So if you need any dirty work done, just let me know!

"Throw me the $19.95, I throw you the secret!"

Paypal sent, Bink.

Doh! I think I just figured it out the secret...give me back my money, you scoundrel! (Man, I didn't even get a hug that time...)

Fedora - Can't WAIT to see your new site. Glad Namebrand picked it up where the rest of us...uh...didn't. Thanks, Namebrand!

Ok guys, I have sent out pms on the preorders. If you did not receive one, please pm me again. You must have got lost in the shuffle, and I apologize if this happened. thanks Fedora

You're far too kind. It was an exciting project and I hope that everyone likes the site and that it makes business easier on Fed. He's put a lot of effort into his hats and helping us all out, not to mention one of the friendliest guys I have met here. This community is so friendly, it's the only one I have seen where people seem genuinly excited and happy for people when they get their hats or gear or in this case as they get the ball rolling on a venture. I think it's great.

steve (fedora),
Just to make sure,
You got my hat right?

Hey, Clinton, if I recall correctly (read through this thread) I believe Fedora will even do layaways to help out the "poverty-stricken."

bink

I'm still getting nothing at www.adventurebilt.com - that's accurate, isn't it? Or is the site up again somewhere and I missed it?

It's not up just yet, He-Who-Skims, but it will be soon. "Top Men" are working on it right now.

Thought so...just...anxious?

I understand, Clinton. I just didn't know if that'd be an option for you or not. And rest assured spring will come and you'll have an AdventureBilt! You can do what I did and start stashing away pennies here and there for it. That way, it doesn't feel like a big chunk out of your wallet all at once. Oh, and here's your wallet back. I didn't find much in it.

We shall talk about compensation offline....<grin> Just kidding. Can't wait to see your site.

Ok. So I was using the search function to find any mention of anyone having used Steve's layaway option for ordering Adventurebilt Hats(yup, layaway), and found this. Ladies and Gents, I give you the birth of Adventurebilt! I just read through the entire thread and I've got to say this is a must read (or reread) for all. Not only is it fun to read through the process of starting a hat company in the 21st century, but also to watch the excitment build among the members of COW for Steve's new hat. There are also some really fun comments including this little gem...

p.s...layaway?

p.p.s. Look about three posts up...wow, was there ever a time when our wallets were safe from Bink?

Now the folks making "Indy IV" will know where to go to get their hats!

WOW. I'm speechless.

I got excited, then I noticed this thread is 4 years old...

Hahaha! Same, here! Yikes!

I was greatly relieved to hear about Steve's great come-back recovery.

I feel fantastic that he is back in the groove finishing up the mountain of back-ordered hats.

Steve your da man.

More power to you!

God Bless You!

Seeing how this thread is really 8 years old, with minor updates from 4 years ago, I'm going to shut it down and lets keep the posting in the more recent thread.

Thanks
