My Weihrauch hat came in the mail yesterday! That was very gracious of them to send out a hat like a few here have requested as well. What a great company and nice bling to sport now while shooting a fine rifle! ;D
-
Congrat's! ;D I asked Diana for one, and they referred me to UmarexUSA. They have them for about $36 shipped! :o Oh, well, looks like my next rifle will be an HW to go with my hat! ;)

hey mike, what did you tell them to get a fine hw hat? i got a owners manual from them but no cap

Robert-
I sent them a direct e-mail stating it was impossible to find a ballcap with their company name on it to go with my HW97K and wondered how to get one. They e-mailed me back and asked what my address was. The rest was history. Great company and great rifles.

i will have to try that as my hw-55 is the king of the hill so to speak. not a long range gun but its a bullseye getter at 20 yards . if its a miss its not the gun and i will admit it too. any other gun i have well thats diffrent but not the 55
-
You do know that while wearing the cap, but shooting a Diana ain't gonna work, don't you?
Beware, the gun may puke, and curse in German.
;D

You need to be sporting a GTA cap to shoot well.

i asked weihrauch for a cap too. they sent me an email wanting my address so i just sent it to them. i tried rws /diana and they directed me to umarex and they only ask me for $49.00+ shipping. i always liked my dianas well,but my hw-55 is the best gun i own and after owning over 7 dianas id think a cap would be in order . sorry umarex ,rws/diana , the next new gun will be a weihrauch . they remember who bought from them i have to remember them at the next buying session

I also sent Diana a e-mail asking where to get them and explained to them I have and have had a few Diana models. They sent me to Umarex who in turn told me $35 plus $7.95 shipping. I replied kindly what Weihrauch did for me and said I would be glad to buy one at a REASONABLE price of like $15 shipped since they get those cheap hats they pay like $3 each for! And for you rock throwers stating overhead and such I had a friend in the shirt/hat embroidery business and he told me the mark up on these things and $15 they would still be making a great bottom line!
Guess what Robert..............no reply back! I guess I PO'd the Umarex guy who sells hats! ;D
I guesstimate at $20 tops delivered Umarex would still profit about $10 per hat or slightly better. Shame on Umarex for asking such an absorbent price for such a simple item they buy from Sri Lanka or Vietnam where my buddy got his hats.
-
gary was the guy that stated the huge price. I think they kicked it up when I sent them an email. makes me think after all the dianas I own and how they treated us im goin weihrauch next new gun . sad to think umarex is still gouging us on prices

That is the guy......Gary! I think he is still pondering what I e-mailed him! But Umarex has no stake in this I guess whereas Weihrauch shipped direct from Germany to my house! What a company for sure!
-
mike, I almost just called and ask for gary. then I was gonna unload on him for askin an absurd price for a cap that cost mabe $5 after stitching and shipping. if they ask mabe $10 I might consider but heck if weihrauch gives me a free cap I aint gonna waste my breath. wonder how many they sell? 1 would think they would give a cap when you buy an overpriced gun wouldn't you? my hats off to weihrauch
-
I agree Robert! Even at the mall where things are way overpriced a Nike hat cost less :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I think they have lost touch with reality for sure!
-
well mike , today my boss took in his order of 100 caps with his custom logo embroidered on them, total cost was $ 4.79 apiece on an order of 100 and up. talk about markup? I thought $ 15 was sorta expensive for free advertizements at that

My friend who did the shirt/hat business for years made alot of moolah even selling at $15 a hat delievered! Umarex must have a boat load of these with dust all over them! Maybe they will get the idea one day and sell them with a fair profit and allow the working man the ability to afford one.
But I suspect Umarex does not base the companys bottom line on hat sales but rather guns imported and sold! ::)
There has to be a bean counter sitting there saying however, "Hey Gary, all those 1000 hats with Diana embroidered on them, why aren't they selling?" I can only imagine if I were the bean counter I would say back, "Gary sell those darn things for a respectful price of $15 delivered catdaddy! Get the name out there and the advertisement!"
But hey, I did not major in economics or business. I was just a engineer major at one time but I understood stock sitting on a shelf and the need to move it when I worked at a grocery store chain many moons ago!
So if Gary is watching here and I doubt he is..................I say Gary sell those hats for a decent price and still make some jack for the company! ;D

Hey, you're making me look bad with the price of the GTA caps. LOL
I charge $18 shipped but USPS Priority costs from $5.65 to $6.35 per. And I can't afford to buy 100 caps at a time for a better price break.
But our GTA caps are VERY nice and we really aren't making money on them.
Just wanted to toss that in.
:)
Carry on...

Dave I am buying one from you. I just can't decide on which model I like best! Do I contact you direct or is there a link here to buy them?
-
From the link above, it says shoot me a pm with your request. I'll give you payment instructions from there.
:)
Hey, why decide? Buy one of each.

If memory serves me Robert, Steve aka. (Bourne) stated he did this so I followed suit ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Steve!

My pleasure, Mike! ;D

It looks like I'm definitely going to have to buy a new Weihrauch rifle to thank them for all the free hats! ;)

At the risk of coming across as totally ignorant (which I am), what is a Weihrauch, an airgun brand or a distributor? From the threads I have read I have concluded the Weihrauch hat is probably a baseball cap with their logo.

They are one of the oldest and most respected German Airgun Makers.

Like pelletman stated! Weihrauch is one of the best manufacturers there is. German made quality for sure. If you ever hold and shoot one, chances are you will own one! ;D Ignorance???? We are all ignorant until we learn for sure..............I just feel stupid sometimes myself :o
