BajaNomad - 'GOT BAJA?' HATS (SOLD OUT)

'GOT BAJA?' HATS (SOLD OUT)

David K - 8-8-2006 at 11:21 PM

Okay, Doug and I talked on the phone tonight with all the facts and figures...

Because of the charges imposed by Pay Pal and credit card companies, etc., Doug felt it would be in the best interest of Nomads to get the best price, to buy them directly from me.

I will be obtaining a post office box tomorrow and post that address for you to send your orders. Please include check or money orders. Sorry, I can't process credit cards.

Upon receipt of payment, your hats will be sent ASAP.

To keep the it simple for everyone, the total price of each hat will include tax, shipping, handling, etc. to Canada, U.S. and Mexico.... $20.00 each

12/06 update: All are sold... Many thanks!

Sending my order tomorrow!
Thanks,
Bob H

Al G - 8-9-2006 at 06:44 PM

David, Thanks for your efforts and, for allowing Nomads to help with the concept. I think all nomads are satisfied. I upped my order, but would be happy with one until all nomads have at least one. They are like a little comfort from Baja to me.

Diver - 8-9-2006 at 06:56 PM

I will send a check as soon as I can pry the checkbook from my dear wife's grip. :lol:

Just kidding !
I have secret Baja cash stashed for a quick money order !! :lol:

Although I love the whole idea and thank David for his amazingly prompt efforts, I can wait a few weeks with no worries now that I know that hats are coming ! (I know my check will take a week to get to CA)

Thanks again David !!

Also, I don't know if smaller hats are possible but wondered if any other Nomads have young teens or wives with small heads ? (This is NOT intended as a straight line - behave !)

bajaguy - 8-9-2006 at 07:33 PM

david....the check is in the mail...thank you for all of your efforts!!!!! :lol:

David K - 8-10-2006 at 09:34 PM

Thank you all for your interest!!!!

If you want to be the first Nomads to get a hat, mail in your payment.

ItsBetterInBaja - 8-10-2006 at 11:25 PM

Hello David K and other BajaNomads.
I just registered after reading for years.
This place is great. Allows you to be in Baja without being in Baja.
If you know what I mean.
David K I mailed out a check today for 2 hats.
So as they say ... the check is in the mail
And this time it really is.
Thanks again David K
Baja Curt

okay, i'll bite.

in TJ. but everyone who followed this "topic", not just this thread knows the where, why, how and by whom. seems you just drop in to drop a bomb, and for no reason i can understand. hey, we're all entitled to hunt and peck out our view of the world, but bank-o, come on, amigo ( i know, you're not my amigo-blah, blah, blah). so, does that mean you want to double your order, bank-o?

David K - 8-14-2006 at 08:46 AM

Hello gang, returned from Baja last night... had a fun time... YES, the hats come from Baja California... I picked up the first order (I was able to pre pay for 60) and they are here now!

The first hat orders I pull out of my P.O. box will get their hats very soon!

Thanks again amigos!

bajabound2005 - 8-14-2006 at 10:20 AM

The check for 10 hats is in the mail!

Wow. Does that mean they come with a head already in them?

Sorry, couldn't help it. :no:

And now, back to hat talk.

If you read Davids other posts he reveals where they are made, just be observant.

David K - 8-14-2006 at 06:38 PM

Okay Nomads... Today in the P.O. box were orders for 25 hats... ! What a great start... thanks so much! I have u2u'd a couple of you with address questions. I would also appreciate if you could put your Nomad handle (nick name) on the paper in case I need to ask you a question via u2u. If you are not (yet) a Baja Nomad, then please include your email address!

Thanks again...

Hats are on their way....

Baja Angel - 8-15-2006 at 05:34 PM

Yup! The first shipment went out today and so far everyone is getting what they want :spingrin:

(38 shipped so far).

They were shipped via Priority mail so you should have your goodies within a day or two.

I would appreciate it if everyone could U2U me to let me know when your hats arrive so I don't have to bother tracking them.

They look great and we should have alot of fun spotting each other with them. :saint:

David K - 8-15-2006 at 08:04 PM

Thank you so much for helping get the hats out to the Nomads so quickly Baja Angel!

It will be fun to bump into other Nomads wearing them!

Baja Angel also put a 'got baja?' sticker in each box so your car will get noticed as well!

Hmmm... there may be a privacy issue with this request Bob. I will say that YOU were one of them!

Anyone is welcome to post here when their order arrives.

This is fun to do, but it does take a lot of 'foot work' and I really have to thank Baja Angel for all her efforts while I am out working on people's sprinkler systems!

Thanks everyone!

David K - 8-16-2006 at 02:46 PM

Bob H u2u'd me to say his hat arrived today! That's great... Now Bob, we want a photo please with it on!

santa came early

Al, we trust fellow Nomads :saint:

... and are sending out hats right away... not waiting for checks to 'clear'. You guys wanted them pronto, so that's what you get!

Naturally, any checks that bounce: :fire:

Nomads place your orders soon, because I am not planning to offer the hats forever! :light:

Santa arrived

"GOT MINE"

[Edited on 8-18-2006 by Al G]

bajamigo - 8-17-2006 at 07:09 PM

Just got my hat! It's terrifiic: roomy enough to comfortably cover my fat head (according to my wife), beautifully made not in China, with a brim that's precurved and firm. David, let me know when you come out with your line of "Got Baja" double-breasted suits. I'll take ten of those, too.

Old Man Santa

John M - 8-17-2006 at 07:38 PM

Dear old Santa, cleverly disguised as an aridologist looking a bunch like Neal Johns, - and his lovely and lively wife Marian showed up at our door this afternoon bearing gifts - two Got Baja hats.

And yes it really was Neal, not some cute little elf.

It was a great Baja focused visit among 4 Baja vets.

John M

Neal Johns - 8-18-2006 at 09:06 AM

Baja Angel, got 'em! Thanks for doing all of David's work. :lol:

Well, that hat fits great and provides lots of shade. See photo.

bajaguy - 8-18-2006 at 08:21 PM

Baja Angel......got home this afternoon (Friday) and hats were here. Think they arrived Wednesday. Thank you and David. I really appreciate it!!! :lol:

David K - 8-18-2006 at 09:46 PM

Bob H, you and Al G do such a great job modeling my hats, your future careers are not in doubt! :biggrin:

Good to hear they are pleasing you who have ordered them!

About 100 hats were requested in the first thread when I was asking if you guys wanted them... I had 60 made, 46 orders have been received so far (8-19-06)... That leaves 14 remaining and ready to send out now.

So, if you want a hat (right away) be among the next 14 orders... The rest of you will get yours when you send me an order and the next batch is made... The early birds got the worm! :biggrin:

Thanks amigos...

[Edited on 8-19-2006 by David K]

Baja Angel - 8-19-2006 at 09:43 AM

I'm just glad everyone got them in time to do what they wanted to do!

Neal, I don't mind helping David get his work done.

Bob H - 8-19-2006 at 01:09 PM

I'm driving to Ensenada on Tuesday and will be wearing mine the whole time there. Maybe I might be one of the frist to wear this hat in BAJA!

Bob H

[Edited on 8-19-2006 by Bob H]

David K - 8-29-2006 at 08:34 AM

Only 7 left of the 60...

That's as of 8-31-06.

Once they are gone, allow about 2 weeks for the next batch once I receive enough orders for another run.

[Edited on 8-31-2006 by David K]

Hey!

Baja Bernie - 8-31-2006 at 07:06 AM

David came by and presented me with a "Got Baja" yesterday. Most neat!

chuckmccullough - 9-6-2006 at 07:55 AM

Dave,

Do you still have one of these fine looking hats to sell?

Chuck

David K - 9-6-2006 at 05:06 PM

Okay an order arrived from a lady in Mass., that leaves 6.

[Edited on 9-9-2006 by David K]

David K - 9-7-2006 at 10:12 PM

Ken's order came today... there are now 5 left... Once these are gone, I need to get orders totalling a dozen or more hats for the minimum run...

[Edited on 9-9-2006 by David K]

chuckmccullough - 9-8-2006 at 07:30 AM

I put my order/check in the mail yesterday.

David K - 9-9-2006 at 02:47 PM

Chuck's order came today and his hat (#56) and 'got baja?' sticker will go out Monday...

That leaves 4 from the first batch of 60 hats...

There originally were requests for about 100 hats...

Those who didn't order yet OR

If you want one to give for a gift to a Baja nut you know this holiday, send in your orders and I can have more made...

Thanks again... and Viva Baja!

chuckmccullough - 9-13-2006 at 11:10 AM

I received the hat in yesterdays mail. Thanks Again. :tumble:

David K - 9-13-2006 at 07:11 PM

You are welcome Chuck!

Today, Baja Angel sent out the final four hats from the first run of 60, to Baja Andy... he has credit for 1, since he wanted 5 hats.

I will order some more from my Baja hat source... So... Nomads who didn't get their 'got baja?' hats yet... Please send in your orders NOW so I will be able to send them to you as soon as possible!

I am wearing mine right now, are you? :wow:

Ken Cooke - 9-17-2006 at 02:37 PM

I now have my hat and will be wearing it to Rosarito and Ensenada this weekend. Suzanne had the nerve to hang it up in the garage next to the broom & cleaning supplies! :fire:

Diver - 9-17-2006 at 05:40 PM

My wife is sleeping on the couch tonight !
She never mailed my check to David !!
It went in the mail today for 5 hats.
.

David K - 9-17-2006 at 08:08 PM

Don't worry Nomads and other Baja nuts... I have a couple dozen more being made this week in advance/ anticipation of more orders...

Please put you email address and Nomad name on your order request along with the address you want them sent to, printed.

Muchas Gracias!

[Edited on 9-28-2006 by David K]

David K - 9-23-2006 at 01:40 PM

Hi Diver, your check arrived the other day... don't worry any more and let your wife back in!

The hats sould be made this coming week and will be ready for me to pick up on one side of the border or the other next weekend.

[Edited on 9-28-2006 by David K]

David K - 9-27-2006 at 10:10 PM

Just a quick note as we just returned from a day in Tijuana with Antonio (BajaCactus), researching places we will have fun at for VIVA BAJA CACTUS, November 4th... and let me tell you we will have a great time!

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that the second batch of 'got baja?' hats was finished this evening and they will be ready to ship in the morning.

The order was increased to 36, of which 16 are already sold... So, that leave 20 ready to send immediately... If you want one, they may not last... send in your check and we will see you at the party (with your hats on)!

David K - 10-6-2006 at 08:20 PM

If you want to sport a 'got baja?' hat at the Nov. 4th Viva Baja Cactus party, I have 17 in stock. This may be the last batch unless there is a holiday season demand for them!

Ken Cooke - 10-6-2006 at 10:03 PM

David - my suggestion is to put these hats on Ebay and see what kind of demand you can drum up. Good luck! :light:

chino - 10-8-2006 at 08:21 PM

David,
checks in the mail for a hat, good work, seems to be alot of positive energy comming from you guys, keep it up!

David K - 10-9-2006 at 08:55 AM

Thanks Chino!

Yes, it is all about positive energy... making people happy... Which is what Baja means to all of us, I believe!

David K - 10-31-2006 at 09:48 AM

IF anybody wants a hat who will be attending the Viva Baja Cactus party this Saturday, let me know and I will bring one to you at $15 (reduced price since no shipping cost).

Diver - 10-31-2006 at 10:21 AM

I was wearing mine every day until the temps got below freezing.
Any plans to make any "Got Baja" fleece hats ?? :lol:

I'd buy a hooded "Got Baja" sweatshirt if they made them...

David, what recent events are you talking about?

David K - 12-2-2006 at 10:53 AM

Okay gang... I am down to 6 and I have emails or u2u's from people that say they mailed checks for some...

Anyone else, please do not send anything until you contact me first... they may be all gone and I would have to return your checks.

It's nice to want baja... better to have got baja!

Thanks to everyone who ordered these hats, they make people smile and that's a good thing!

Perhaps I will do this again in the future or have something else new?

In the meantime, order Baja Nomad shirts from Doug at the Baja Nomad Tienda... Happy Holidays Everyone!

Diver - 12-2-2006 at 11:12 AM

David,

Thanks again for all your work in getting the hats printed and distributed.
I have one in use and a few stashed for future.
I think they will be worth serious money when you are gone ! :biggrin:

Got the hat;
Got the T-shirt;
I need some Baja pants for parts of my trip !! :lol:

David K - 12-2-2006 at 11:15 AM

Yes, maybe a good investment!

That's funny (I think)!!!

Marie-Rose - 12-20-2006 at 06:32 PM

Got mine today David. Thank you! Fabulous packaging...just in time for Xmas :yes:

David K - 12-20-2006 at 07:39 PM

Great! Good to hear, because it is the first hat shipped to Canada... and the last!

Just a reminder Nomads... The opportuity to buy a 'got baja?' hat is past. They are all gone... Many thanks for your enthusiam for the fun hat!

Because of your input, I may produce a 'got baja?' shirt...??? However, until I do... Get a Baja Nomad shirt to support Doug's forums! Go to the 'Tienda' link on top of the Nomad pages.

Merry Christmas/ Feliz Navidad Everyone!!!

aha baja - 12-21-2006 at 07:50 AM

GOT MINE TAMBIEN :lol:

Thanks David for all the effort! :tumble:

David K - 12-21-2006 at 08:42 AM

You're welcome Curt!

You and Marie-Rose got the last three!
