Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
Thanks again to all those who have contacted me to date, to express
interest in the OSM printed/logo'ed Hi-Vis Vests. I'm pleased to
report that these are now no longer vapour-ware, as today, the full
order arrived at my house. Below are some photos of the finished
article, which I have to say, have somewhat exceeded my expectations.
The print quality is bold and clear, and the logo has turned out rather
nicely. See pics below (no nasty comments about my modelling abilities
please!) :) :)<br>

<br>
For those who have already expressed an interest and stated their
sizes, etc, I will be sending out proforma invoices within the next 2
days (utilising PayPal), so payment can be completed and I can start to
get the vests into the post. Payment can be completed by any major
credit card and you don't need a paypal account to complete payment.
The proforma invoice will contain postage cost details as well as give
you an opportunity to supply your postal address for delivery. <br>
<br>
If you have contacted me requesting me to reserve a vest, but no longer
wish to purchase, please just drop me an email to let me know and
ignore the proforma invoice.<br>
<br>
If anybody is interested in purchasing any of the spares I have in
stock, I still have the following quantities for sale:<br>
<br>
1 x Small<br>
2 x Medium<br>
2 x XL (if you are after a large, which sold out quickly, you might
like to consider the XL's as they are only a few inches bigger)<br>
1 x XXL<br>
<br>
As indicated previously, the final cost of the vests is £8.50 each +
P&P (which I estimate to be around £2 for UK destinations).<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch at
"osm at sonicresolutions.com".<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Graham<br>

Hi again Folk,<br>
<br>
Many thanks to all those that have contacted me about purchasing the
custom OSM printed/logo'ed Hi-Vis Vests. I'm please to announce that
the order has now been placed with the printer and hopefully I'll have
the printed vests sometime in the next 5 - 7 working days. When they
arrive,
I'll be in touch directly with all those who have responded to me, to
finalise the orders and organise dispatch, etc.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, for those who maybe missed the first email, I have
ordered the following spares, which are still available if you're
interested:<br>
<br>
1 x Small Size<br>
3 x Medium Size<br>
3 x Large Size<br>
3 x XL Size<br>
1 x XXL Size<br>
<br>
The final price of the vests will be £8.50 and this includes the logo
printed on both the back of the vest (as per the below mock-ups), but
also on the front lapel. As previously indicated,
postage should be circa £2 within the UK (Royal Mail), with overseas
shipping prices dependent on destination.<br>
<br>
If you have not yet been in touch and wish to reserve one of the above
spares, please contact me directly at "osm at sonicresolutions.com".
Once these spares are
gone, that's it for the time being (unless we can get together enough
pre-orders for another run).<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Graham<br>

<pre wrap="">Just as a bit more info, I meant to add that these vests are fully
certified to EN471, class 2 standards and have double 5cm HiVis
reflective banding. Also, the sizes I have quoted below are chest sizes
in inches.
I have also corrected a typographic error in the original mockup
pictures, whereby I had the address of the OSM website as a .com rather
than a .org domain (thanks to Andy for picking up on this). The mockups
and the graphic have been corrected accordingly.
Cheers,
Graham

<pre wrap="">Hi folks,
I'm in the process of getting a custom high-visibility safety vest
printed for myself, for OSM surveying work, as I do most of my surveying
on-foot and sometimes find myself near busy roads, etc. It's also a
great way to raise the profile of OSM, whilst offering a real health and
safety advantage for both pedestrian and bike surveyors. These
high-visibility orange vests can be warn over the top of your normal
clothing, so are suitable for all types of weather conditions. If
you're wondering what these vests are, see the following link (you've no
doubt seen highway maintenance crews, or airport ground crews wearing
these):

I'm wondering if anybody else might be interested in purchasing one of
these with a custom OSM print on the back? I'm trying to gauge the level
of interest before I think about submitting a bulk order for printing.
The following are URLs to jpegs of a mock-up of the design I've come up
with (showing the back of the vest), based on the OSM logo:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.sonicresolutions.com/osm_vest/mockup2.jpg">http://www.sonicresolutions.com/osm_vest/mockup2.jpg</a>
Depending on numbers, the vests are likely to sell for around £9.00 each
+ P&P (P&P will probably be a few pounds for the UK, maybe more to
Europe/rest of world). I will donate any profit made after covering my
expenses, back to OSM. The price is likely to come down if I can get
sufficient numbers of interested purchasers to reach price-break points
for printing.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these printed hi-vis vests,
could you please e-mail me at "osm at sonicresolutions.com" and include
"Vest" in the subject line. In your e-mail, please state the size and
quantity of vests you would be interested in purchasing, and your
country if you're outside the UK (so I can get together accurate postage
costs). Available sizes are:
Small 33-38
Medium 38-41
Large 41-44
X Large 44-47
XX Large 47-50
XXX Large 50-54
XXXX Large 54-56
At this stage I'm just trying to gauge interest and your e-mail to me
will of course *not* commit you to purchase. Once I've got a list of
interested parties, if the numbers are sufficient, I'll e-mail everyone
individually with the final costings and payment will probably be via
PayPal. I won't call for payment until I've actually got the vests in
front of me, ready to dispatch.
Any questions, please feel free to drop me an e-mail.
Kind regards,
Graham Smith
