What type of products do you want?

[DEFCON Warning System]

We're moving our shop to Etsy and have partnered with Printful to design a bunch of stuff for the new DEFCON Warning System Shop.

What kind of things would you like to see in the shop?

And yes, the bomber jacket is there, but it doesn't have a custom name. Sorry.

I know we try to remain serious in our actual reporting and assessments.
But how about some parody DWS products.
Self-depreciating humor is a healthy thing.
How about a caricature of the director in front of a computer with his hair standing on end like a mad scientist when we move from defcon 3 to 2

That would be funny.

I'm still thinking about that bomber jacket. I have a NASA one but it's too small also it's hot 90% of the year here in Texas. But I feel like giving back for all my years spent lurking here. I swear ya'll used to have some basic tees I wouldn't mind sporting one of those.

Thinking something like “Doc Brown”

Heck I bought one for Southern Louisiana. Was only 92 and 100% humidity today so summer is still a way off. I figure it will be nice those 2 or 3 day a year we have autumn. That said some tee shirts with a pocket and a DWS patch would be great year round.




A hat would be nice! Of course there might not be enough interest so back to Velcro patches that I can stick them on my hat….and my shirts……

I can make a hat available.

So far, I've loaded up the shop with a bomber jacket (no name, just logo), T-Shirt, mug, patch, hat, and poster. Unfortunately, the patch is not velcro as far as I know.

That okay with the patches sans Velcro. We can hook them up

The mugs are great. I use two large ones (22z) for my caffeine fix and infusion every morning.

The one liter thermos bottles are super awesome. I don’t suppose they will make the transfer?

Got any new old stock or was it on demand?

No thermos, unfortunately.

It was all on demand.

I’m assuming you have an order sheet that simply says “Yes”

I'm adding a sweatshit.

Does this mean we can't get it personalized? I was thinking of getting one for my son for Christmas. Been dropping hints to my wife for one for me also.

Not through the shop as far as I know. You will have to take it to your own embroidery to have it personalized.

Mouse pad. I’d buy a mouse pad.

How about a firm rug? Not plush. Need somthing for underneath my computer chair to not tear up my wood floors.

Also, maybe drink coolers you put ice in? Kind of a stretch, but I’m on my strip of beach often or on my boat. Would be a nice conversation starter for me when I have friends over.

Also, even though I’m taking a long leave of absence, I still intend on donating every month. I may not be able to post regularly anymore, but I still fully support your guys mission here. Keep up the good work.

It not hard. Once you get your stuff find a shop, ask a uniform shop or even a business card site who can do it.

I used to have all my and my employees stuff embroidered. It was always a couple at a time, our pilots and A&P mechanics rarely turned over.

Hey!! Stay with me there is a point. We always had small orders, like y’all will.
We could get our stuff in between the bigger jobs. It help if you don’t call. Show up, wait stop! Knowing this crowd, before you slide that false wall back and climb up out of your basement survival / staycation destination, use a comb, oh goodness grief, brush your teeth, tongue too. Aw gross. Now grab a clean shirt. There.

Anyway don’t call, show up and talk to them. If you call you will get a “no” faster than two angry cats in a wet paperbag. If you show up they will almost always fit you in. I have done this on the road for years. It works.

Or you can just ask you wife to do it on one of her gizmo’s. You know the one that cost more than your first house? The one she bought with the money you thought you were going to spend on a new Barret with a can? Yep she can do it too. Ask her last. Trust me. Last.
