Some folks at #FOSDEM tried to buy the makeshift hats one of our team members brought, so I arranged for this prototype of an official hat to be made. It's a fisherman beanie with our logo embroidered. I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this something you'd buy? (Poll in follow-up post)

@Gargron

Easy "Yes"

Show threadTapinder Q.Feb 26
@Gargron I won't, but I'm not very into gadgets and accessories. The beanie itself looks cool!

What would the UK price be, roughly?

Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 26
@CppGuy Most likely 27 GBP.

@Gargron

Thanks, Eugen. I'm afraid I couldn't justify that for a beanie. I understand that Brexit makes everything harder and more expensive, though.

Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 26
@CppGuy I compare prices with regular clothes shops and it seems pretty run of the mill for a beanie. There are cheaper ones but they're polyester, not cotton.

I would buy two of them.
And I would like to have an information, where the beautiful lady got her pullover from.

@Gargron does the shop offer international shipping?
Show threadEugen RochkoFeb 26
@germanio We do, but not everywhere.
Show threadgermanioFeb 26
@Gargron perhaps I can manage to bring it home with the help of some friends from the UK 🤔
Thanks man

@Gargron

Depends on price and postage cost.

Show threadMiss Aemilia🎀Feb 26
@Gargron I say no, not because I'm against the idea but because I think there's more room for creativity. Masto has some really cool designs for mascots et al that could be used to great effect here, even if it would raise the price.

@Gargron No, but only because it would be sold out by the time I heard it was on sale.

@Gargron why not wool?

@lindarosesmit @Gargron Presumably more expensive, but better for winter.

@Gargron No. I won't support organic farming. It takes more land, more water, and more pesticide than conventional farming for the same yield. Just wasteful and woo.
Show threadWilliam B PeckhamFeb 27
@Gargron I would definitely like to. I live in the land of the Trump tariff tax, and I don't know how much it would cost delivered here, so I can't commit at this time. (I hope and pray those beanies will be a regular item for you in about, say, three years.)
