Before I left the Vermont Star I purchased a MSTA hat and they were to be sent out. To date haven't heard anything about them and wondered if anyone knows when the hats will be sent?

My guess is that a special order and shipping to the responsible person, then shipping to individual members would take several months. It's barely been three weeks since STAR concluded.

Agree with Tosh's comments. Some on the EC are still traveling after STAR (retirement, don't you know) and very well could be a few months. Remember, they're all volunteers.

As you know your hats were such a success at STAR, that we would like more. One of our members volunteered to help get them distributed as orders come in - thereby making this order do-able! Yippee.
We would like 50 more exactly like the first order. This time, kindly ship to:
Daniel Igoe Law Office
4681 Winterset Drive
Columbus, Ohio 43220
Dan will fulfil the orders, price $23 includes shipping
Stay tuned

Dan Igoe on Winterset Drive in Columbus?
I could almost hit that place with a rock from my house...

thanks Dennis...Go Dan GO!
Good to know Dan's an attorney now what is his specialty ah... just in case :)

Yep I bought one as well, paid with a credit card (to Donna Villarose) at the banquet. When I talked to Dianne Park later she did say it would probably take some time, and I figured as much since they might want to give others (not at STAR) a chance to order, then make the purchase and send them out. And as Jim Park reminded me a few times at the end of STAR when Richard and I talked to him about pictures "We'll be on the road until August."
I'm not in a rush, and will do my best not to badger anybody about it ;)
-
THE MSTA hats -- were dropped off to the embroiderer and should be ready this week. I can add a post here once they are shipped - should be maybe another week or two until Dan has them. :)
Anyone interested in purchasing a hat, (who has not already paid), make your request to Dan (see email above from ipnman) and send a check to Dan, made out to MSTA, for $23 - which includes shipping to you.
-
Thanks Dianne. A post when they are shipped would be helpful that way those who purchased them will know when to expect them.

I agree with Steve posting the delivery date here works for everybody who logs on. Larry

ADDRESS CORRECTION FOR HAT PAYMENT
This does not apply to those who paid for the hats that were ordered at STAR and who PAID for them there. Anyone who did not pay at STAR or anyone who would like to request a hat, do not use the address posted previously. Instead, mail a check for $23.00 made out to MSTA and mail to:
Dan Igoe
5393 Bennington Woods Court
Columbus, Ohio 43220

Thanks Dianne,
My check will head out in the morning. I really like these hats.....if these sell out, I think we need to have more made or have them available for purchase at STAR next year.
-
Is it possible for someone to post up a picture? I may want to order one but would like to see what they look like :)

I agree. Like mine lots, but haven't worn it cause I don't want to ruin it yet. I guess I could order another one and then I'd have the spare.
-
For those of us that purchased one at STAR, any way we might confirm somebody does in fact have our name on the order list? I signed up on the paper in the lobby, then talked to Dianne Park during the banquet, and then paid Donna Villarose with a credit card. I don't even recall if I was asked to provide a shipping address, or anything like that. I'd hate to find out after the order is completed that I wasn't on the list, and then I need to work with somebody to get my $23 back.
I know things were a bit hectic that night, and just want to make sure I'm in.
As for a picture, somebody else will need to do that, the key selling point to some of us on these was they fold up (the brim specifically). I think it just had the MSTA logo on front, not specific STAR 2016 stuff.
-
Correct Bro. Just black, tri-fold and the logo in Red I think. I'll try and remember to take a picture or 2 tonight and post.

August 10th - Hats update. I am told they will ship from the factory tomorrow. Once Dan receives them, they will be mailed to all who have already ordered and paid. So, hopefully just another week or two. (Seems like I said that a week or too ago)! People are busy, people travel, ... the hats will arrive! I will try to arrange for a picture of the hat to be posted soon.
-
You can see what the hat looks like on our photo site.
They are a "dri-fi" material and the bill folds into thirds making the hat an easy fit ito your pocket when riding. -JEP-

I mailed my check in a few days ago so hopefully Dan has received it by now.....Glad there was a opportunity to buy these as they really are nice for using while riding as they fold up to fit in your tank bag, pocket, etc. and are very light weight. I hope they are offered again at next years STAR.

FWIW
I purchased one of the MSTA caps as I had first-hand experience with their versatility. The first year Buell had the Ulysses in their lineup, they were offering test rides. I took a ride (I liked the bike overall, but it didn't have the grunt I expected for a 1200cc engine), and as a bonus, they gave you a Buell cap that had a single hinge down the middle of the bill. They used it to highlight their "out of the box" way of thinking. I've been using that cap and enjoying its versatility for years.
I probably won't have anything to do with ordering caps next year, but I am curious...
Would you rather have a non-event MSTA club cap as was the one this year, or would you rather have one that was an event specific cap (STAR 2017)?

I would like to see more MSTA stuff, i. e. build the "brand". I have a bizillion tee shirts already.

I for one would like to see non-event club gear as well. I like the hat, and if there are any leftovers, might get a second one.
-
This rapidly became my favorite cap for summertime. I really like the style. I am also a fan of the MSTA logo on it.
STAR logos have varied, some I prefer over others. Variety is good, though.
One thing I really like is being able to see the logo design before ordering the shirt/hat.
-
It would be nice to have them before Mail Pouch Fly In. I sent a PM to Diane asking her to post when the hats are actually being mailed. That should help all and avoid additional posts on this.
Hey that's an idea. Maybe one of the officers who might be attending MPFB might bring a couple with them , saves on postage! That would be cool!!
-
August 22nd: The hats were received today and are addressed and going in the mail to you tomorrow. Enjoy!
-
Thanks Diane, looking forward to getting mine....

[..Maybe one of the officers who might be attending MPFB might bring a couple with them , saves on postage!...]
My guess is that such a plan would quickly become a logistical nightmare. Putting them in the US mail ensures that everyone will get their hat plus it's a lot less hassle for those volunteers who are handling this task.

Hi Dianne,
Any idea if there are extras available? I wouldn't mind a second one.

On second thought you're right on all points

Thanks Dennis and Dianne. Guess another one is in my plans then. Time to start wearing the first one I guess.

Got mine in the mail today, great timing for MPFB.
Got a kick out of the included warranty-warning-disclaimer letter ;D

I don't recall getting that with my purchase at STAR. What does it read?
