oh, gee..........
where do i start!!!

oh, i know!!! ;)
first of all, i can read.
and i can comprehend.
so please dont tell me what i understand, and what i dont understand.

next, "what if he is here just for the money"??
we use to drum people out of this place, for crap like that.
"used to"
and i care.
or.....i "used to" ;)
and so did everybody else.
this place is like a damn commercial, now.

alex probably wasnt being mean, but it sounded that way.
and no, makin money aint the most horrible thing in the world.
but, this used to be like the only place on the net, that didnt feel like i was being bombarded with advertisements.
and now, like i said it's like a fricken commercial.

and just so you guys know, i aint tryin to scrap with nobody. ;)
just voicin my opinion.
we can still do that here, right? ;)
or does it have to match everybody elses?

btw..
sellin a bunch of vests for cheaper, is the same thing as sellin only a few, for more money.
ya make it up in volume.
so yeah, it's still about the money. ;)

the most accurate vest, is still the goal.
true! but, ehhhh!
screw it! LOL
it just dont seem like thats what it's about, anymore.
Tried to give the devil my soul...
She said i had nothing to bargain with...

I don't see any harm personally.. I mean, this is the vests/patches/outfits section isn't it?  AlexFugazi announced that a new vest is in the works, with detailed information on what changes he is making to them and how cost will stay the same etc..  Where's the murder?  Where's the crime?  Maybe it's just me, but I simply don't place enough importance on what all people do on a forum...many people over the years have annoyed and bugged the crap out of me and I'm pretty vocal about it too.. but as time goes by, I started not caring more and more and only read and posted things that I wanted to read and post.. I don't know, just my two cents.

My point about the vests and cost is, he can drum up much more money if he were selling them for 200-250 a vest, hell maybe even 300 with the new changes..because either way he's picking up mass quantities of vests but chooses to still keep cost down... if it is about money, then AlexFugazi is a bad businessman, because he could be making much more, LOL!  :mrgreen:

As for the mean thing.. come on bro, no one will take the title away from ya.. I heard about your rep hehehe..  :p  Just messin with ya.

wow! he broke that hammer that fast? :lol: anyway, i actually have to disagree with shm a little. i mean, i dont mind him advertising, if he didnt he'd sell less vests. and selling less vests means he'd have to stick with his first design. and less people would have thos vests anyway. of course maybe i have his arguement wrong, im not sure if shm was telling him not to advertise, or to post in other threads a little more. if thats the case, then just ignore everything i just said. thats actually a good idea. :lol:
love rhymes with hideous car wreck

Yeah im sorry to say alex, that it does look that youre only here for buisness. I always see you post something about the vests, and like shm said, it always looks like an advertisment i see on tv. But who am i to judge? Everyone in here has a special talent, shm is the heavy muscle of the forum, warchief the leader, cubs is the artist making cool sigs for almost everyone that asks for one, and you, charloots, and warlordswan are the vest makers!! But every posts is about making money of the vest. But anyways youre making good vests.. and at least your advertising them to true fans. :D

Yeah, sorry about the hold-up.  I'll post some pictures of the new pocket trim sewn out.  It's kinda neat.  The patch sample should be here next week, and we'll start selling it then!

Well, just got back the 'sew-out' for the new pocket design.  Our pattern maker used whatever material was on-hand, so of course these aren't the final colors...BUT it shows the simple solution to the 'pointy pockets' that most vests don't use.

BTW, I can't recommend our pattern maker highly enough.  She runs FirstSample Austin, and her website can be found at- www.firstsamples.com  She's done some great work for us on other Mondo items, and reall rocks this out.

I should have some word on the patches soon!  It seems our embroidery peeps got held up for some kind of Taiwanese holliday!  MMMmmmm....asian BBQ is the best.

Patches are here!  Measuring 12" high on the Warbird, and 12" across on the rocker, this is the biggest, most accurate patch yet!  (in my ever so humble opinion!)

We're crazy proud on how these turned out, and they're for sale on mondotees.com for just 39.99!  Follow the link through on this site's store page, and make sure warriorsUK get credit for the sale!  As far as I know, mondotees is the only warriors retailer giving back to this community with every sale!

alex is that the actual patch, they look very sloppy
the black border is all over the place,the warriors
rocker looks smaller on the left.the border dont look

Well look...thanks for your unsolcited comments, but while we're at it-

I think your skull is too enlongated, the teeth look off, and the shape of the eyes is strange...don't get me started on sloppy.

I took my design straight from WarriorCleon's patches, which were in turn taken from an actual patch (according to his eBay ad).

And...Mine's bigger  :D.

I'm staying off of your thread- I'm not going over there making fun of your stuff.  Could you extend me the same courtesy?  I think it's great that other people are making Warriors products.  If it weren't for all the feedback I got from guys like you on my last vest, I wouldn't have worked so hard to make my new vest even better.  Warriors fans want Warriors stuff- they should have a choice on where to get it.

And while we're talking about being courteous, howabout this- if you're going to advertise on this board, do what I do- with every single sale, give $1.00 back to the site through paypal.  And your vests- give $4.00 back. 

People think they have the right to knock me for selling on this site, but don't even stop to think about the 100's of dollars I've put back in.

Have you?

wow alex,
i said they look better but they are sloppy.
my warbird is just the way i want it ,thats what makes it mine.
thats right yours are bigger. and your rockers wont work with most vest unless
there size 44 or bigger,that means large and bigger.sorry if i offended you.
i dont sell hundreds like your self to give back that much. but i feel the 15.00
a month i donate to this site is fair.you did not answer one of my questions.
all you did was get defensive and show your true colors.
here is a picture of a 12 inch rocker on a size 42 med.

unbelieveable, you guys are like your own worst enemies.

how about you guys can meet up some place and do it thunderdome steeze, 2 men enter, 1 man leave...
OR...
you guys can continue to duke it out online and embarrass yourselves some more...
OR...
you can act your age and stop the bickering.

the choice is yours, but i have a feeling both you're both going with option 2.  and if thats the case, we'll just sit back on the sidelines and laugh at you fools some more. 
seriously, you guys need to grow up, you're both grown ass men for crying out loud and you're arguing over vest like a two chicks at the shopping mall.

just my 2 cents for a better tomorrow.
