I like the curved lettering design for the URL on the front the best, but I wonder if the (at) will be centered more on the curve of the URL. I also like the khaki/demin hat a lot. I don't know about the SUNBEAM in the gold color on that fabric though. It doesn't seem to show up as nice as the blue. I think if we choose that design the SUNBEAM should be blue also. Other than that I'm ready to order one of each as soon as we decide on final design. Once again, Thanks for working with us.
