And they look Great.
You remind me of another buddy that I have meet from another gun forum.
We've had three meets in the past 4 years,
and for two of those he had made personalized range towels for all attendees.
The last one was a small select group and had a pheasant hunt/trap/sporting clays weekend.
That time he bought cloth carpenter nail aprons, and had those personalized.
We used them during the trap/SP clays.

Anyway I would love to have one of hose pink towels.

Thanks, RP. I had some limited experience with embroidery until I started this project several weeks ago. It's never cheap to do, but it's even a little bit twistier when you have to use a very specific font such as the one Henry uses. I've been in the logo licensing business, so I understand all the trademark/trade-dress issues and it's gotta be that way. So you go down the path of embroidery tapes, total thread counts, etc.
But, there's nothing like it, really. Very permanent (if that's even possible) and just so much better than screen print or sublimation.
It's a great way to mark an occasion or a gathering or a group (or whatever) - I like your buddy's style, sounds like a great group to hang with!

Evan you deserve the credit for taking the comment and running with it. Im taking no credit for this one at all. Thanks to you for all the leg work you have done and the idea brought forth. Its brought a bunch of good people even closer and has given us something to have some fun with. That in itself is great. We need as much fun in life as we can get as there is no such thing as to much fun. My hats off to Evan for his work on this.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yep, this is a fantastic idea. Evan deserves all the credit. Talked to Evan today and ordered mine. Will be proud to display that towel and my wife ain't getting it! Altho I'm still holding one of hers in the garage hostage till I get my approved one.
Thanks Evan!

Awww, shucks, fellers! Thanks for the kind words. Just seemed like fun way to extend the "fellowship" that grew up around Al's sharp-eyed observation. It would make a great towel for your wife, too, you know! Dish-towel sized, more or less.

Nothing says I Love You more on Mother's Day...!

Rifletom, I love a good hostage story.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Not to add a bummer to this,...but can't help but think of my ex wife who might not make it from breast cancer. Pink works for me in many ways!... :( ... ;) Mine is on order. :)

I will buy my Canadian brother from another mother one and pay the shipping to his house. Aint no way with all the photos he shoots that he cant have some pink coming out of Canada. It will look good under those 45 colts of his.
You're on my friend. Will work into some trail pics...
