The oversized hoodie has become the ultimate generic dad item.
Crew necks have a touch of style hoodies will never have.

I resent this accurate portrayal of me

Why is that sweater not a hoodie farken?

There is a hoodie in the store now. Could always see if the store can post to Melbourne.

Perhaps for middle aged men who wear runners with jeans.

I was just at the Port Store, and for your information that are now doing the PA top with your beloved hood attached.

I also asked the girl about the PA 59fifty.

"No, we're not doing it anymore"

"Why not?"

"We're just not doing it. It was only for a limited time...."

Ummmmm, a limited time? It's only been in circulation since 2012, and was the original New Era hat.

Bloody hell.

Limited time hahahahhahahahah what the ****

This whole thing is a farce that hat, white on black, is our best piece of merch of all time

 

[Lagooner]

'Limited time only' is such a bullshit response.

I'm telling you it's the sizing. They ended up ordering way too many teal 59s in sizes 7 1/2 plus and couldn't move them, so their solution is scrap 59s altogether for the snapbacks rather than re-jig their order quantities.

It's so bloody lazy.

Need a petition.

Need a petition.

Was just thinking the same thing.

 

[finbarr]

It's easily the worst call that shop has ever made.

 

[Trewth]

The store needs a big broom put through it.

When they were hiring the new boss of the Port Store my girlfriend at the time applied for the position. She was a retail wizard who'd managed large department stores and had been sent to turn around the fortunes of a failing store, turning it into the best performed of its company in the country. Won a big national award and was headhunted by head office in Victoria. Incredibly qualified is what I'm saying.

She didn't even get an interview at Port Adelaide.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Only really ever had one positive experience with a staff member in that store. Not good enough.

Port Store has gone the way of the bistro.

Sounds like a classic case of being overqualified.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Need a Gofund setup to get Anton back involved.

 

[StuMan]

Did you notice whether they have the pink on black in stock?

They did not, unfortunately.

 

[El_Scorcho]

The only reason to withhold the white on black monogram is so that 6 months from now it can make a triumphant return for a sales boost.

"White on black by popular demand"

If there's a petition I'll sign and share. There's nothing I feel more strongly about. Not even the selection of KPPs

I've been meaning to get a new hat for my melon head for a while so I went down and grabbed one of the sexy beasts as well. Maybe this apparent sales surge (if this thread is anything to go by) will be a wake-up call?

There's about 10 of the 7 1/2 and one 7 3/8 still there if anyone is curious.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Yeah, safe to say they're ****ing useless.

Have called or been in there every fortnight for the past two months to see if they have the pink PA monogram hats in stock. Have been told two weeks every time. Also left a message last week and didn't even receive a call back.

Went down today to have a look, still not in stock. Asked Dani (who is apparently the manager) why I couldn't just get a straight answer and she gave me some fluff about them having put the order in 3 months ago and they just have to keep waiting.

Asked whether they've ever thought of either ordering larger quantities, or ordering more often. "We're only allowed to order so much."

Store needs fixing, perhaps something to talk to KT about? They must be losing a tonne of sales.

 

[TeeKray]

If Chokito were here he'd find a way to get them back in stock

 

[edgie]

Are the issues headwear centric, or about the whole shebang?

It doesn't help that the monogram merch they are putting out now is total ****ing rubbish. Watch them pull it all and be like "it just didn't sell, man"

Yeah, because you go and make something aesthetic as least aesthetic as humanly possible.

 

[chiwigi]

I wish I could be upset about the cap, unfortunately I'm now at akubra age.

I had a friend who applied too, not as qualified as your partner but still had qualifications that justified an interview but got the thanks but no thanks. I remember reading that the position was filled by a friend of someone that knows someone.

Not what you know, but who you know these days.

There is a bit of a jobs for the boys mentality at the club. Probably similar to other clubs.

He's the reason they are out of stock.

In fact I heard he bought up all the white on black caps for his eBay store before convincing his friend not to order more!

P.s. I'll be filthy if I can't replace my cap. I bought 2 for just this reason and my ex left with the spare.

And almost every business ever.
