+1 for blaze Safety Third hats. Make them unstructured. I don’t shop for hats at the gas station.
For a trucker hat, L2 Brands’ Old Favorite is by far the best trucker style, it’s unstructured and the mesh isn’t scratchy. Their EZA Relaxed Twill is a good, comfortable option for solids.
Shirts with the full Field Ethos | The Global Hunt For Adventure mark, not just the FE logo. 5.4oz 100% cotton Oxford, like the Captain’s Uniform Oxford from Atlantic Rancher. For that matter, their 6oz brushed twill Fuel Dock Foreman’s is a great style too.
FE Society swag. And not like that cheap shit KUIU reserves for their Inner Circle people.
FE Society exclusive meetups. I got so much out of the Running of the Bulls last year just hanging out and visiting with these new people I met but had everything in common.
@Jason Vincent going to the range this weekend?
@Christian Craighead throwing horseshoes in the backyard?
@Pete Correale …..doing Pete stuff? Let people know, we’ll show up. No expectations, just camaraderie. Limit the number. Someone signs up, they can’t sign up again for three months so others get a chance.
Or go big and have FE sponsors participate in an invite-only event demo. You’re already field testing skunkworks projects. We’re their target demo. Tradeshows are raping them so they’re opting for publisher-hosted private events to put product in the hands of writers. CANCON is a jerk off event for people who can’t afford / won’t buy but will damn sure shoot all the ammo, but an FES event? We’re all building multi-thousand dollar Scout rifles for FUN.
Anyway. My $.02.
