jironworks Report post Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Not busting balls, before you start a business you must know what your target is, and you may tweak it a little but you better figure it out soon or you will fail, please don't! I like what you have but you need to get the cost of your hats way way down and don't go with no cheap hat either, anything you put your name on is an example of your business, the hat is going to be your number 1 piece of advertising, price hats very little above cost sell the crap out of them to get the name out there, just my 2 cents, good luck on your adventures Edited February 25, 2019 by jironworks Missed spelled 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to hear you like what we are doing and trying to achieve! Our hats are quality hats they are flexfit / yupoong which are hats I would wear and enjoy for many years before we decided on this adventure and I would pay the same amount or more, then we have our hats listed for but I can see what you are saying as far as cutting profit margin to next to nothing in order to having advertising on everyone’s head!

Baboltin Report post Posted February 25, 2019 can I ask what you guys pay for a hat on average? The reason I ask is because looking over our competitor that sells hats very similar to ours sells there’s for 30 dollars a hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted February 25, 2019 As a business owner, I wish you luck. That being said, I've never spent those kind of prices on name brand T's or hats, much less an unknown brand. I paid $17 for a Sportsmans' camo hat for hunting cause my dog ate my old one, and that figure chapped my hide. If I'm going to pay $20 for a T, its going to benefit one of the wildlife conservation agencies in the state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingzero Report post Posted February 26, 2019 I like the designs. I've got plenty of $20 shirts, $50 hoodies and $20 to $30 bucks a hat is pretty standard for me. I really like the coyote tee but I can screw up a white shirt in pretty short order. I think grey would be a good alternative. I'm in need of a new hat and really like the dark grey but you don't have a description or size selection. I saw you said they were flex fit but are they s\m or l\xl ?

Good news is we are going to offer that exact coyote shirt in a different color waiting for it from the silk screeners! They are made by flexfit but are a snap back so one size fits all.

Baboltin Report post Posted February 26, 2019 I have evaluated our cost and profit margin and dropped our prices on the hats so maybe that will interest more individuals. Thanks guys for your input and in the future we will be offering shirts and a portion of the sale will go towards a hunting organization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5guyshunting Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Sorry to be a dikk, but i have had several flex fit hats. Cabelas and sportsman and have returned a few. The band wears out in a few months and the retailers have made good on the one's i returned, but who needs to return a hat? No more flexfit for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear that I haven’t had the same issues with these hats and like I previously mentioned I have been wearing this style hat for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stopped wearing flex fit as well for same reasons. Get a little sweat, wear out and never come back to true. Looks like i have a bell on my head. Hats should be made to fit. New era fitted for me or good ol snapback! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
