Summer caps LFGSS

Awesome

@6pt, what are your prospects of being able to give us a new design?

yeah I'll sort that - will need the spec from either @velocio or whomever dealt with supplier last time.

See how far you can get to achieving what you want, and then we'll start the back and forth on the finer details of producing it.

I'll order 300 caps.

Is this shit really happening? Wow, pinch me I'm dreaming

Just as a polite request (feel free to ignore as there will be loads of opinions) but the last caps were a tad on the tight side. If there is any chance of having them a bit bigger that would be great

Cap sizing is impossible to pre-determine.

They seem to vary regardless of the feedback I give. First batch were too large, 2nd too small, and so on.

It's a classic one-size-fits-all where the elastic is supposed to solve it. It may be that this batch is larger, I won't know until I've received a sample and even then the actual production run may still vary slightly without any recourse for having them adjusted.

Caps unfortunately are too low-margin for high tolerances in production to really be applied or considered a part of the quality control.

That's just the reality.

BTW... don't continue the list. We'll start production, and we'll sell them on the shop when we know what we are doing.

Another point. I'll dispatch ONLY by posting them out.

Caps are easy to post, whatever the price is will include P&P (to anywhere on Earth, because 99% of orders will be to London and rest of UK).

Shit yeah! Hopefully they'll be ready for my trips to fairer climes this summer.

Normal turnaround is 6 weeks (or so it was last time).

We may have missed the Spring rush, but if we're too slow we'll hit the Summer factory shutdown (always the whole of August, but a bit either side too).

If we're fast, end of June would be likely.

I thought it was something like that, I'm in whatever and worry about it later

If you would like someone to model the caps with what seems to be a larger than average melon let me know

Cheers David!

FWIW I found the last batch too big. I guess that proves that I'm not as brainy as 'im ^

Peanut head v melon head
I was probably dropped too many times as a baby so protective bubble developed

Me too! And I have the scar to prove it, ha!

I think I have the same issue - on my head, small cycling caps tend to look like a sort of peaked kippah

I was waiting to be 100. :(
