Don't forget the graded cheese and a side of sauerkraut.

Catsup was bad enough, but how can we take seriously anyone who won't even use a proper hot dog bun?  We really need to discuss better membership requirements if we want to keep this forum from spiraling fully into the gutter.

I guess you put ketchup on hot dogs too.

Damn right I do.  This is America.  I have every right to dislike mustard.

Once you go black...

One interesting thing about the mugs; they can only supply the white version with the smaller logo, and the black version with the large logo. No mixing and matching. Given my indecisive nature, I did the only logical thing and bought both

I like my new USA7 mug. It is replacing my NASA mug. The USA7 mug is lighter and to me a more comfortable handle. I chose white because I like to know what's growing at the bottom. (Edit spelling of growing)

The lip imprint on the NASA mug is interesting.  Unusual to have it all the way around for both RHD and LHD. 

 

I recall one order, when I was in the business decades ago, with a lip imprint, "ENJOY YOUR BREAK" and a bottom imprint "NOW, GET BACK TO WORK".

We might need a new thread.

 

East coast folks should know the name of this one.

 

As a lifelong Minnesotan (I was to young to remember my brief time in Long Beach) I'd call that a Coney Island. 

 

I was actually at Coney Island when I was nine.  My twelve-year-old brother got to ride stuff inside Steeplechase they would not let me on, but oddly I didn't have to be ten to ride the Steeplechase itself, which spiraled down on the outside of the tower.  Thats the first time I remember being in the ocean.  Don't know know if my parents put toddler-me into the Pacific.

 

Didn't get into an ocean again until December 1991.  Dad was speaking at "The Storm Unleashed".  Fifty years before that, Dad's Saint Paul Navy Reserve shipmates killed a couple of foreign sailers for being in a restricted area and started a war.

T-shirt, mug and stickers ordered Jul 16.  Mug shipped from Concord, NC on Jul 17.  Stickers and shirt shipped 7/19 from Irving, TX.  Both arrived Jul 22.  The shirt fits well and looks good.  Mug and stickers look great too.  Very happy!  Thanks to all!

no one said you can’t look good doing it!

[Vovchandr]

Some of these need to go into the swag thread..

[JohnCh]

I've added a new T-shirt design to the store and also started a new thread where store items can be announced or requested. This thread has gotten a bit off the intended topic  

 

 

 

[SENC]

Thread drift?  Here?  Say it ain't so!

[JohnCh]

More like a thread migration, but it's mostly my fault. And I'm sure the last four words of that sentence will eventually end up as part of @Vovchandr's signature

Just cleaning up the quote for @Vovchandr to unshamelessly steal.

.....please share with feedback on the items and end-to-end process with me after they arrive. The items in my orders looked fine but good to get a second opinion.

 

I purchased a large, Navy T-Shirt that recently arrived.  I'm 5'11" and weigh 135, so not a big guy.  I typically wear between a Medium and Large and always wear large t-shirts.  I immediately noticed the small collar - tight just trying to get my not-all-that-large (size 7 hat) head through it and also noticed the shorter than typical tail.  Additionally, the "Navy" looked like slightly distressed grey - my better half concurred and neither of us are color blind.  

 

I'm sorry for a full set of complaints :-(.  Have you had any similar comments or is it just me?  I really wanted to like this shirt and order more, but I just won't wear this one due to poor fit.  There is no provision for returning a clothing items that doesn't fit:

Because products are made to order, we do not accept general returns or sizing-related returns.

@straightcut, I haven't heard this from anyone else, and it doesn't match the shirts I've ordered. For the size, please compare your shirt to this size guide from the order page.

 

Regarding color, there is Navy and True Navy with the latter a lighter, more distressed color, but certainly not gray. The photos below match the colors I received. 

 

If either the size or colors don't match the descriptions, then contact them as per their Return & FAQ page and supply the relevant photos. Unfortunately, I have no control over returns, but they responded quickly to someone who received the wrong product.

 

Navy

True Navy

Thank you for your reply!  Perhaps I received a True Navy as it does look more of that color.  I double checked my order - I definitely ordered Navy.

[JohnCh]

Take a picture and send it in with that explanation. I'd also double check the product dimensions to make sure that matches. I see they have a +/- 2" disclaimer at the bottom, so keep in mind when measuring.
