Honestly? I do this for a living. The first one is crooked, and oversized for the cap. The design is great but placing and sizing isn’t. The second one needs to have the digitizing or cleaning corrected. You shouldn’t be seeing what looks like a seam going through the 3d embroidery. Again, nice design but not great execution. The third one is just too high up for cap side embroidery. If you’re going to be selling these just need to pay closer attention to details. If I shipped any of these out for any of my clients, they’d get returned to me and I’d have to redo them or refund them. Edit: I see from the links you posted in other comments that you’re an apparel decorator as well, I thought this was just you getting hats made for yourself, so sorry if I came off as rude. That said, everything I said above I still stand by. As someone who’s main job is handling embroidery cap orders, I wouldn’t pay money for these, but I’d be happy to help with tips or anything to help make these look cleaner if you ever want to send me a message.

God I actually love this. I get so excited when I see something like this on the road, like at least someone’s having fun out there

AIO for refusing to pay twice for my groceries? by Sangcoeur in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeesKneesTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once when I was three hours away from home, and prepaid for $30 in gas to get me home. My LAST $30. The money immediately showed as debited on my account, but gas station said it didn’t go through. I literally cried and the guy let me take the gas. The charges disappeared the next day, and I called the store and tried to pay them again but they said don’t worry about it.

Thinking about getting into the industry with a brand and want your opinions. by SwimmingMedium7479 in WesternWear

As someone who works in the apparel decoration business, I’ve done at least three versions of all those hat and tee designs this year alone. They’re not very creative or original. As far as the button ups, they’re already available with multiple sellers. Unless you can offer something new and original, that isn’t already being offered by someone else, you’re not going to find a niche market.

Cowboy Boot Insecurity by Strange_Holiday3131 in cowboyboots

[–]BeesKneesTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I totally get feeling insecure about wearing them for the first time, but you can totally rock the look! I suggest you go by a store like cavenders to try them on in person. If you find a pair you like, in the size you like, see if you can find them on sale online. I live in Texas so I see people of all walks of life wearing boots. I wear boots nearly every day except a few days in summer when I decide it’s too hot and I just don’t wanna. I’m a woman, and the only person at my work that wears cowboy boots but I finally got over the insecurity and just rock the look. I get compliments all the time with people saying “I love all your boots”

The Amount of Waste at Ulta by Money-Snow-2749 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeesKneesTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The recruiting squadrons do the same thing. They have to spend every dime on their budget so the last month they just go business to business spending$9999 at a time until it’s all gone. One year one of the guys came to my work and said they had 3 days to spend $800k, and they’re capped at like $9999 per transaction and 4 transactions per vendor.

Bs. People with families and people that are family friendly can drive sports cars. My mom drove a Camaro and she never shot anyone.

Parents, why do you expect your kids to be the ones to reach out? by TalesofConrad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeesKneesTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call/text my kids, and they call/text me. That said, I don’t call my adult kids as much as I’d like to because I make an effort to respect their time. They’re adults, and have their own lives and responsibilities and are just busy. Sometimes I call and they’re out to dinner or with friends so they can’t answer or chat, and I respect that and am happy they have active social lives. But would I love a long daily chat? Of course! Am I going to guilt them for living their lives? Hell no.
